Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make me a match!

OK, OK...so it's possible that I have a small urge to make matches.  Call me a hopeless romantic, but given my gene pool, I'm pretty sure it was unavoidable.  (Thanks, Mom!)  


Why is it that people don't want to be matched up?  Some take it as a serious insult if you say "I've got someone I think you'd really like".  Others seem ok with it, but secretly feel like maybe it's a cut to their self esteem.  Let me say loudly to all those in my path of matchmaking...take it as a compliment!!  If I'm trying to pair you up with someone, it's because I love you and think you're an awesome catch.  And guess what - the person that I'm trying to pair you up with should be totally flattered as well.  I don't go matchmaking with just anyone.  I actually rarely set people up.  But in this day and age -- a mention of someone you might be interested is really all it takes.  Why, with technology and cell phones, you could send them a facebook message, preview their profile pictures, and sort of have a preliminary glance at who you're being set up with without any risk of embarrassment, social awkwardness, or anything else!  


I write this small blog in honor of all my lovely single friends.  Be flattered if I think highly enough of you to set you up or suggest a date.  Know that I take it seriously  and pray about these type of things.   


If you're reading this and you're happily with that special someone, be it married, engaged, etc.  Take a moment to thank God for the moments you have with them. Take a moment to thank Him for the times of romance.  If you're past those days of that first date, kiss, or meeting of the parents....think back, reminisce and enjoy those memories.  Maybe do something to let that special someone know that you remember those days, you remember how it all started, and you don't want to lose that fire.  Be it 2 months or 20 years - be thankful for those times when you've had butterflies of nerves, had a flutter of your heart, had a tingling in your toes...because you were hopelessly in love.  Believe in love...believe in the creator that allows us to enjoy romance in a world where it can be lost, distorted, or misinterpreted.  




There's a song by Sanctus Real...The Redeemer.  


"I lost my faith in so many things, but I still believe in you cause you can make everything new".  


Listen to it here...


Don't give up on love.  Don't give up on romance.  Don't give up on Him and the blessings He has planned for YOU.  You are special and He knows your path before you do.  <3
