Rice Krispies

Dear flakes--- I love how you make me feel so unimportant. Thanks. How was I so blind into thinking that you cared.

Intriguing Series

Another good sermon from yesterdays "sex talk"  from the sermon series: "Pursuit of Intimacy in a Broken World.

"Your sexual ethic is never just about you."


Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For


Thanks Richard

Another one bites the dust

Normally I wouldn't write about this type of thing... however something really caught my attention in this and it made me think/wonder about many things having to do with the so called "dating scene."

Why do we date...?? Is it in hopes to meet that special someone, someone whom we can possibly share the rest of our lives with, someone who makes us laugh, someone we can relate too? Someone we can share all our deepest and darkest secrets with? Maybe it's someone we can have fun with, or treats us nice... or maybe we are are just so co-dependant and being with someone makes us feel good, or special.. maybe we are hoping to marry them, start a family, or maybe we are just in it for the ride..(a good time) maybe they are right for us, maybe they are wrong for us... maybe its a little bit of both.

Whatever the reason for dating, and whether our intentions are good or bad I believe this is something almost all of us long for..... That person we can share our deepest heart with, someone that "gets us" someone we can call our best friend, someone whom we can have fights and struggles with, yet is WILLING to go through that with you in hopes that things come out better at the end. As a christian girl, someone who loves God and is concerned about whom I end up with in life I think about a lot of this stuff daily. Who and what is the "right" for me. I don't just want someone who I have a thing or two in common with, and I don't just want someone who is good looking, super intelligent or makes a lot of money. I don't just want someone that makes me "feel good" at all the right times. Honestly, after yesterday, I find that you CAN find that in non christian... but don't get me wrong... there is more to it than just "feeling good." I believe you have to think of the big picture, and not just where you are "in the moment" or in a year from now... I try to imagine myself, and that future person raising children, having a family, having good morals(the same morals) etc etc  I'm sure there are a lot of guys out there who have a lot of these qualities... but in the end what really matters? As I search(or don't search) that is what I ask myself.

I find it crazy that a man can be amazing, yet so wrong at the same time... this makes me hope that there really is still someone out there for me that has all the "right" qualities I am looking for, and not just someone who has a "good majority" of them. It's crazy how I have found that in non christian guys as of late. They have everything except the one thing that matters most.. I find it crazy that they are so willing to be honest about you, and about how they feel... and that they will actually ask you out... In my experience.. the typical "church guy" doesn't do this... it is soo strange to me why this is. I guess what really gets me also is when they are not honest when it comes to "wanting to hang out again"  or where they'd like to see the relationship go next. Non Christians are straight up serious about what they want, or the potential they see or don't see in the relationship. What is it that Christian men are so afraid of with honesty?!  Please don't think I am "bashing" those of you out there who I know... This really isn't what I am getting at. It's just amazing how hard it is to find someone... who doesn't want to just "sleep around" (even if it is just with one person) or who actually takes their faith seriously and isn't just a hypocrite about it... someone who knows what they want, someone who is honest with you, and with God.. someone who makes mistakes and is willing to admit it.. to know that they and you are not perfect.

I could actually probably go on and on about the "dating thing" but I'll refrain.... this is just the wanderings of my mind as of late.... and things I question...


Sincerely,
the waiting one(in MANY areas of my life)    I'd rather wait--- than waste time dating--the wrong one

So I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
That tethered mind free from the lies

But I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow

Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
