(BTW I've also found this site through "DO HARD THINGS" and also highly recommend "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" for ANY christian teen (or young adult) striving to live a pure life for Jesus. Very good books). I know many YOUNG girls who seem unable to live without a boyfriend! When in reality, who they really cannot live without is Jesus.<br /> Keep up the great posts!Julia Gracenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405673979105616163.post-34028248289259848832011-04-04T08:32:21.495-04:002011-04-04T08:32:21.495-04:00Thank you!

Plus, why in the world would you need a boyfriend when you'r fifteen (my age)? You don't need to know who you'r going to marry, and your emotions are all wacky when your that young anyway. If you have not already read it, I recommend "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by Joshua Harris. (By the way, I found your blog thanks to Alex and Brett Harris and "Do Hard Things", another great book) :DElizabeth Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638912350183133344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405673979105616163.post-44769947550976917152010-12-22T11:17:08.774-05:002010-12-22T11:17:08.774-05:00That's right, no boyfriend for me!

But God can see everybody at heart level, plus He already has someone picked out for me, so I just have to wait.

I know whenever I am met with opposition, I tend to give in, or second guess what I am defending.

They often try to argue that waiting for God's timing is a symptom of laziness or fear. According to many, I need to be out there actively hunting for a man in order for God to provide. That, in my mind, seems to reflect a lack of trust in His faithfulness and provision! They can't understand why I don't run to register at E-Harmony or join singles groups. Yet, despite the frustration of repeatedly hearing that I'm crazy to wait on God, I have experienced some of the most peaceful and intimate times with my Loving God when I have been most patient and intent in waiting for His best for me. I'd rather trust His choices than mine any day!The Inquisitive Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685388758798934661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405673979105616163.post-86515910918340771662010-12-21T09:41:51.449-05:002010-12-21T09:41:51.449-05:00Thank you for the reminder.

There have even been times when I allowed their feelings to rub off on me and I would begin to wonder if God ever would bring the right man along. But all I have to do is look to God and let Him show me His perfect plan for my life. I know that He has perfect timing. And He will sustainme in the meantime. Thank you for reminding me of this.Rose H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15937513650241907480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405673979105616163.post-4732788442643277602010-12-21T09:32:57.236-05:002010-12-21T09:32:57.236-05:00love this. i totally agree :)love this. i totally agree :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04791772930409460313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405673979105616163.post-45818831440727247182010-12-20T23:54:16.513-05:002010-12-20T23:54:16.513-05:00Oh thank you so much for this!

"Don't you have a 'someone' yet?" <br /> "God's taking care of me." <br /> Blank stares. <br /> But I've learned, in watching my friends stuff their hearts into shredders, and then watching those who wait on the Lord, and taste what is truly good- that His ways are the very sweetest. And I've tasted that reality in the freedom of my own life- a freedom I wouldn't have if I was out there playing 'snag-a-guy'. I'll stick with Him as well. <br /> Have a beautiful Christmas week!Sunshinenoreply@blogger.com
