Settle: to come to rest

This summer I "moved out" for the first time. I was still with family, but I was no longer under my parents roof. This sort of thing is viewed as a big step in the process of "growing up." And the fact is, I am growing up... I am grown up.

Another major step of this whole "growing up" thing is this theory of "settling down." Now, I'm one of those people who has always sworn I would never be one to settle down early. But as time goes on, I have begun to realize I want to settle down.  Ohh I want SO badly to settle down.

I've mentioned this in passing to one or two close friends.One of my friends, we'll call him Ian, knows me very well. He's that friend that knows me so well it's annoying, but I wouldn't trade him for anything. Anyway, back on focus, I was telling Ian about this, and a guy I might be interested in an he said to me "I want you to have the best... don't settle for this guy just because he's there." 

I have high standards, and as glorious as it will be when I find "the one"... as much as I can't wait, at the same time, I'm not in a rush.
As I was sitting in church service this morning, during a time of silence, I was praying about this, and I just felt contentment, and I know God has a plan for me and that He has someone SO special for me!

Yes, I want to settle down, but I won't settle in the process. I'm willing to wait on God's timing, because I want the guy who's going to sweep me off my feet.
