My pastor once spoke on how intriguing it is that we trust God with our souls, families, and decisions. Yet, we do not trust Him with the one we are supposed to commit our lives to. We do not trust him with our dating lives. We continuously take matters into our own hands because that is the one thing we cannot release. There is no way I am the only person who struggles with this and wonders,

“How patient must I be?”

“Your hands make you look like a gorilla.” It was as if for the first time, the girls in the room noticed the lighter coloring of the insides of my hands, or the unique texture of my hair for that matter. I had always noticed. I knew what I looked like and who I was, but it took moments like these for me to understand that I should only surround myself with people who see me as I am, color and all. This is something I will be sure to explain to my children from a young age.
