What Happened To MySpace?

Does anyone remember MySpace? Wasn't that like the BIG thing to be on before Facebook opened up to all of us who weren't college kids? I used to "hang out" on MySpace quite a bit. I never even knew what it was until a friend sent me an "invite". Once I checked it out, I was hooked...well at least until Facebook came along. ;-) Funny, I was messing around online tonight, and decided to check out my account from YEARS ago. I can't get that account deleted because I used an old email address that I no longer have, so it won't let me cancel the account. I'm kinda glad I didn't because I've been reading through many old blogs on there tonight, and it's giving me a good chuckle, and reminding me of things that I'd forgotten in my life. I was all of 33 when I wrote many of these blogs, some go back to when I was 31 and 32. Well, I'm significantly older than that now as the wrinkles and gray in my hair are giving that away. :-) I'm going to share one of my blogs from that time. Apparently I was having guy problems then and needed to blog about it. But it probably was more like someone trying to "fix me up" with someone more than just guy issues from the way I'm talking. And how did I vent my frustration?? Through blogging, of course. So, enjoy this blog from October 18, 2006 off MySpace. And I still live by Proverbs 31:30. I LOVE that verse!! Enjoy taking a peak into the past life of Jewels, blogger extraordinaire!! Hope y'all have had a blessed day!! 

 My life is funny at times, mostly because I'm STILL single. I have many people saying "Why aren't you married, or at least dating?" Oh and the constant "I have the perfect person I want you to meet..." The "fixer uppers", as I like to call them, always make me laugh because once the person starts telling me about this "perfect person" after about 30 seconds I am like "thanks, but no thanks." I have very high standards, and this is one reason I am single. When I tell people this they'll say "Well, maybe your standards are too high." Never! I will not settle for just anyone. I'm not really sure where this concept comes that being single is a bad thing. It's all in what you make of it. Sure, it will be cool to be married, and I'm all for it, but if that "right person" doesn't come along, well life goes on, and I will serve God through singleness. I have dated enough jerks in the past to know that I don't want just anyone for my husband. I can honestly say if I had married some of the guys from my past, we probably wouldn't be married today because spiritually, they are not what I'm looking for. God knows best, and HE is the one in charge of my love life, not the "fixer uppers"! I love the verses in Proverbs about the Virtuous Woman. Check it out: Prov. 31:10-31. If I do get married, I pray that I can live by these verses. Dating is hard these days, and the older I get, the harder it is to find someone. I write this blog today for all the singles out there reading this...don't settle just because you think it might be your "last chance". God will bless you with that right person if you wait, and trust in Him to take care of it. So enjoy your singleness while you have it, and bless all you come in contact with! Have a blessed day!!!
