Priorities

I went for an interview Saturday afternoon for the international camp I wanted to volunteer for.

One of the case scenarios they gave me sounded like this:

"Your activity was about to start when the fellow camp staffer you've been crushing on, Rodrigo, approaches you to talk to you. Then around the same time, one of your kids come running and says the other kid is in the bathroom and isn't feeling well. Then you suddenly feel queasy too. What will you do and in what order?"

I gave my answer within the limited time. To sum it up, I made Rodrigo my last priority. I wondered if it was an analogy of my life and why I was still single. Am I putting love on hold?

I don't like it when people say that I'm single because I'm too busy or I'm career-oriented. People who know me would know that's not true. I play online games and TV shows for a significant amount of time per week. That's how un-busy or un-career-oriented I am. I would make time if any possibility of love would come by.

The closest experience I had similar to the scenario was during my college years. I dated a guy who was in the same grouping I was in for class. I was the group leader. We went out a couple of times. The guy started slacking on his work, then he admits he was doing drugs. I pretty much stopped dating him after that. I honestly don't think it meant I wasn't prioritizing him. He just wasn't what I hoped he would be. He just wasn't for me. Ktnxbye.

Let me just reverse the analogy. God has just been prioritizing other stuff for me.  He knows I need to enjoy things first as a single woman until I'm ready to settle down. Then he will send the perfect guy for me. I just have to wait and see.
