Artist's Comments

I wanted to do a picture about love and dating and all that jazz. I was just drawing it to help me with figure drawing, but it turned into something much deeper.

The heart shaped locket represents the fact that there is one guy out there that God has chosen for her. The white rose in her hand represents purity. She is wearing something like a wedding dress I suppose, representing that she is "waiting for marriage." The yellow ribbons also represent her patience and waiting. I read that women sometimes tie a yellow ribbon to remind them of their husbands that are off to sea or at war - I kind of wanted to symbolize the same concept, except she is waiting for him to come to her, waiting for him to find her.

So yeah. This happens to be a big part of my life. Yes, its possible to live to be 18 and not date someone. That's me. :) I've found it a struggle, but living single certainly has it benefits, and I'm much happier waiting on God's direction than blindly searching for the right one, all the while tearing my heart in pieces.

Now you get some lyrics and a spifftastic video to one of my favorite songs ever. :D At least listen to the music. The song is wonderful! And they put it to Lord of the Rings!!! :love: I love this video. :heart:

"Wait for me" by Rebecca St. James

Darling did you know that I
I dream about you
Waiting for the look in your eyes
When we meet for the first time
Darling did you know that I
I pray about you
Praying that you will hold on
Keep your loving eyes only for me

Ch: I am waiting for
Praying for you darling
Wait for me too
Wait for me as I wait for you
I am waiting for
Praying for you darling
Wait for me too
Wait for me as I wait for you
Darling wait

Darling did you know I dream about life together
Knowing it will be forever
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
And darling when I say
Til death do us part
I'll mean it with all of my heart
Now and always faithful to you

(chorus)

Now I know you may have made mistakes
But there's forgiveness and a second chance
So wait for me darling
Wait for me
Wait for me


Another good song: [link]

Simple and aesthetic, yet expressing ideas that are more precious than a myriad of words. Well done!

The man that marries such a lady will definitely be blessed with a treasure, and I sincerely hope he never forgets her worth.

The future can seem to be such a hard thing to wait for at times, but in the end I'm glad it follows God's plan and not our own.

I always thought love was shaped like a heart,
But its actually shaped like a cross!
:icontwilightaria:
Wow! I love the concept so much! I agree with you and the picture 100%! Hey, I'm 18, been homeschooled all of my life and have never been kissed or dated :D I'm just waiting for the husband God picked out for me :D
