Colossians 2:10

¹⁰ and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

That is one of the verses that really stuck out to me last night in my Bible study.
Why?
Because i'm seventeen years old and have always been single. It also doesn't look like that is about to change anytime soon.
And you know what?
That is really hard.
Actually, it downright sucks.
Three of my friends are engaged (one is going to be married in a couple days) and others have boyfriends.
Sometimes it's just like, "uh, God? have you forgotten me here? because i'm kinda really lonely and i'm feeling rather forgotten.... My friends have fiances and boy friends and i'm here like, Hey, what about me?"
And you know what?
those are some of the nights I feel closest to God. That's the way it has always been. When Dad was in the military I was often lonely, for similar reasons.
I've learned that loneliness is God's call to spend time with him. I remember when I was probably seven years old, I was lonely, and I remembered the verse in Hebrews that says "For he himself has said 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you.'"
Now, i'm being reminded that not only will he never leave me, but I'm complete in him. 
Usually after i've cried my heart out I end up staring at the ceiling above my bed and remembering several other things.
He knows what's best for me, and in his timing, all my longing will be fulfilled, and it will all be worth it. 
Secondly, I'm not everyone else. For the next two years I will be busy, and while I may enter into a relationship during that time, i'm not ready to be married. Not till I finish school.
and, I really don't see anybody up here that I know of, that I could see myself with. Right now, I don't feel a particular call that says "your man is here and this is where you are gonna be for a long while." 
and finally, while I'm waiting, I'm complete in him. No matter how long it takes for my desires to come true, I'm complete, and whoever God brings into my life, is an extra blessing. A very, very special blessing to fill that longing, but God
That's a comfort to me. 
Most of the time.
It still hurts sometimes.
