My whole life I have dreamed constantly about finding my "prince charming." As a young child it was based off of the disney princess movies that I watched, but as I grew up what I longed for changed.
When I was in elementary school, my prince charming consisted of a cute boy in my class who would call me his girlfriend and play on the monkey bars with me at recess.
Once I made it to middle school, I dreamed of greater things, like having a boyfriend on Valentine's day so I could get a box of chocolates.
I finally reached the time of my life where I was that grouchy but loving high schooler. And I did meet someone, an amazing sweet guy who at the time was my "prince charming." He was everything I ever dreamed of having. We dreamed of marriage and a future with each other, and it was more real than anything else I had ever experienced. But falling in love at a young age is difficult. It's a 50/50 chance, and unfortunately it didn't last.
I'm in college now, and I haven't met a guy who I can call my "prince charming." I can barely find a guy who acts like a godly gentleman. However, I know that he's out there.
Over the years, what I have looked for in a guy has changed. I am less concerned about finding the "perfect" guy to spend the rest of my life with, or getting a box of chocolates on Valentine's day. I have not lowered my standards, I just expect more because I am in the real world now, and every decision matters.
The thing is, we're all searching for something great to add into our lives. For me, that's finding a guy to spend the rest of my life with. But it's different for everyone. We try so hard to make our plan for our lives work, when we need to follow God's plan instead and let Him lead us. It does not matter how much we try to shape our lives into that "perfect" image, we will fail because it's impossible to accomplish. Only God is perfect, and we can try to strive for perfection but we will never reach that point, because we were never meant to be perfect.
