Why would we {settle?}

Sooo my friend Tenille and I were twittering back and forth about different things when she brought to my attention the video above. Her exact words were "Peep this video. The song lyrics are INSANE." We were in a deep vibe session, and just finished talking about the New Maxwell cd {which is Crazy}. Anywho I went to the video and once I saw the whole thing tears just started flowing. It is sooo beautiful. Lately my friend Shaunda and I have been in a deep mental session wondering why we are not married and why we don't even have a possible forever partner. After a deep brainstorming session we have some to the conclusion that most women settle, and that's just something we can not and will not do. I mean why would I? I do understand that I have to keep my options open, and stop looking because what God has for me NO ONE can take, but settling isn't the way for me to recognize his blessings. I was so in Love with a guy and had been in and out of relationships with him since I was 15 years old. Only to just really see that it was never meant to be. Women tend to try and cling to something that's not for them. We try to make things work that are destined to fall apart, because we think with our heart. A very unique quality that makes us who we are and makes us women. Yet it's a quality that gets us hurt a lot also. So what do we do and where do we go after a major heart break? What we should do is look at this video and look around at the true Love that surrounds us, the marriages that last 30 plus years, and be inspired! Knowing our blessing is coming, but we cannot settle under any means necessary. We have to be able to recognize our blessings when it is in front of us. Being appreciative of the loves that didn't make it, knowing that when we get what God has for us it will be greater than we ever expected. Knowing it's on his time not ours we must be patient! We will be that much more grateful for our blessings knowing that it was a long journey, but the love we have at that moment which turns into a lifetime was well worth the wait!
