Hey, Ladies!
I knew this was going to be a hot topic! I have been a professional bridesmaid for years!
Since I am a Delta, I have more Red and White Taffeta gowns than I am willing to admit to!
I don't want to make this too long, so...
I am a nice, funny, attractive, sister with two BA's, and 2 languages under my belt. I also just started my own business -
www.greekuniversity.com . Furthermore, I am not married, and it really is not a big deal to me-anymore. I used to ask myself all of the same questions about why I was not married yet-did I mention I am 29?-until I talked to my pastor about it. She told me 2 things. First, what you think about, you bring about. Hmm, pretty interesting. Her point was, if you spend alot of time and energy on the issue of not having a partner, you won't have one. Your minds' first priority is to prove you right, so watch what you think and say!
Second, Nothing just happens, everything happens just! OOH! Like that one!
In other words, you are exactly where you are supposed to be! Nothing is wrong with where you are right now-including your marital status. You are in a learning experience that helps prepare you for what happens to you in the future!
I didn't believe any of this at first, because I was frustrated with a breakup I went through with my High School sweetheart. We dated for 6 years, and broke up right after I pledged. Once I got to a point that I was comfortable with myself, and knew that things in my life would evolve like they were supposed to, guess who I bumped into? The ex! He is a Kappa who pledged at another school, but crossed on the same day that I did!
We became friends, got to know the new people that we had become, and now we are together again-7years later!
The minute I stopped obsessing about it is the minute everything changed! I know the same will happen for all of you! You are all beautiful, educated women who will have someone to love you the same wonderful way you love yourself! I know a few good men too, so let me know!
Truly sisterly,
Jennifer
