Waiting on Love

It’s a big topic amongst my group of friends, whether they’re married or single, we somehow always land on the issue of being single. I don’t know which category you fall in, but at some point, whether you’re male or female, I’m sure you’ve heard one of the following: Are you dating?....Are you married?......Why aren’t YOU married!?....What are you looking for in the person you’re dating?.....just to name a few. Well today as I went thru my day, the title Waiting on Love popped in my head. My first reaction was to disregard it but I couldn’t because this phrase made me hesitate. What does it mean I asked myself? I began to think of love and what it actually means- I bet you think I’m going to try and define love...this thing that everyone is soooo determined to catch, everyone wants to catch the love bug….but I’m not going to define it...not right now...maybe later in a partII, but not right now.

Waiting on Love came to me almost as an afterthought, it was meant for me, and the definition goes far beyond a single definition. I’ve experienced love in many forms (there is God’s love, love from other people, love thru loving people, thru actions, thru words), so WHY of ALL THINGS, should I be thinking of WAITING ON LOVE!!!!  I mean I have love don't I? But that's where the question begins: What does it truly mean to wait on love? ….for me to wait on love? The obvious thing some would infer is that it means to wait on the right person to marry. Well I believe it defines a collection of different events of my life where I will have to opportunity to both give and receive love, not just from a man, but from family, friends, and strangers even. I look at life and I see each of us, everyday, waking up hoping someone will come along and show us some type of love that will assist us in having a great day. If this isn't the truth, then it means the truth is us waking up and hoping someone will come along and hate us, and I don't know many who wake up with this sentiment.

So begins the discussion, explorations, and revelations of what Waiting on Love means for me. Day by day I anticipate being able to wait for the moment when someone comes along and I'm presented with a glimpse of love, some experience we both had been waiting to exchange. Every now and then I'll check back in and give updates.... I know you're waiting on love too, so make sure you do the same.

Signing off while Waiting on Love.
