Peoples Opinion on Our Engagement

I am about to get real honest!

After me and Kyle got engaged and it sunk in that I was really going to get married I started to worry. I wasn’t worrying about my relationship with Kyle. I was worried about what people would think of it. I was 19 years old when we got engaged (he proposed two days before my birthday). I started to think about the rude things people would say, since marriage at a young age is not common where we are from. This was seriously affecting my relationship in a negative way. I started to obsess over people’s opinions of my relationship (Big Mistake). So, I asked Kyle if her could keep it off of Facebook until I told my family and friends. Well folks, days, became weeks, and those weeks turned into months.

One day he just posted it. I got on Facebook and I am getting comments and phone calls from a ton of friends and family.  After about an hour I was feeling overwhelmed and was starting to get angry with my fiancé. I was mad at him for blind siding me with his Facebook relationship status change. But let’s be real it was time I grew up. God revealed to me Kyle was not in the wrong, but I was. Not everyone is going to like or accept the fact that I am twenty years old and I’m engaged, and that is ok. I don’t live my life to please people, I live solely to please God. I was being insecure, and worrying about the wrong things. I love people, I am such a people person (I get it from my mom) but, I can’t be a people pleaser. I put my trust in God, that He will sustain my relationship, and so far he has done just that. I have completely changed from who I was and am still changing. My relationship with Kyle has helped me develop into a better woman.  I won’t let the fear of peoples opinion hold me down anymore, and neither should you!
