Hey all my fans! (i know, i know, don't count your chickens before they've hatched, but y'know i like counting eggs!)
This isn't exactly what you'd expect from a first blog - but I think too much, so start expecting the unexpected!
Recently, I surrendered an attraction that I had to a good guy mate of mine, to God. Surrendered? I hear you asking. Yes, surrendered. God asked me to stop liking him, I don't fully understand why, but I think it was causing a distraction from my relationship with God. So I said, "OK God if that's what you want me to do, then help me to do it!" and He has! Now, that's all well and good, I've gotten over it and moved on. I even composed a picture on my cell phone that says "Jesus is the king of my heart, not any boy". Cheesy, I know, but I needed something that would keep reminding me about it, so that's what i did.
Now, I find myself, such a short time later, wistfully wishing that I had a special someone by my side, imagining the day of our wedding and so on and so forth. I wonder if maybe God doesn't want me to get married ever, I wish that I'd met 'the one'. Now, last night, after putting down the fantastic (christian) romance/suspense novel that i'd been reading (True Devotion, by Dee Henderson - I highly recommend it!) I got to thinking about my special someone (as described above), now I know you will probably say that it's just a girl thing, and maybe it is, maybe the phenomenon that i'm diagnosing is that widespread! I realised, I'm addicted to romance fantasy. True, it is a fantasy that may, hopefully, one day come true, but at the moment it's still a fantasy.
I started thinking about this even deeper, and I wondered, is this healthy? Is it healthy for a huge chunk of my time to be taken up by being distracted by someone I don't even know, someone that may not even ever come along. What do you think? Are you addicted to this romance fantasy too?

Romance is a thing everyone experiences... yes, even GUYS!!
all of the 3 boyfriends I have had were to be my husband... or so I thought, (and so they said). But, I have always dreamed of my wedding day, and having THE perfect man for me waiting at the alter. I know one day he will come. It's my desire, and I can't help that. I believe in perserverance (if thats how its spelt) cuz I know that God loves to give us what we desire, and if we have a desire to be a wife/mother, then so it shall be...
Be patient and wait until the right guy comes to YOU Liz, A guy actually told me last night that they love a challenge, to chase after a girl to hope she likes him.
I'm sorry to take up so much space on your blog too, but I just really feel that you should be enjoying being young! I feel I have wasted half of my life with guys on my mind. Enjoy your girlfriends while you have them, and don't let smelly boys get in the way!!
Have a wonderful last week of the hols, and you know, I'm ALWAYS here for you hun, no matter what!!
Luv ya girl
xoxox
Hey my hunny bun,
Yeah, i do feel like love takes over the world sometimes.
I am a very loving person, and with my experience, I can tell you that love for the opposite sex is a minor priority during adolescence, even at my age I feel that I need less time of thinking about guys (yes it's hard).
Sometimes I wish I could take back the hours which were spent on thinking about guys.
I have dreamt of my wedding day, and wanted more "romantic excitment" in my life, and I think it all comes down to waiting.
We need to perservere in our lifes, especially regarding love, as it is so important these days with so many divorces etc, that it actually becomes scary.
I think God has the perfect "one" for everyone, or some, yeah, he leaves some on their own for a purpose, but I believe if you have a passion to be a wife/mother, he will always provide us with that. He knows what we love and dislove. hehe
My point is, spend more time with your girlfriends, and less time with smelly boys on your mind.
It's so not worth it in the end.
...And when you stop thinking about ladybugs (guys), you'll be swarming in them
-ref. Under the Tuscan Sun.
Sorry for taking up so much space, but I really do believe that God gave you these desires for a reason, you just gotta wait.
I luv ya chicky-babe!!
and I'm always here for you!!
no matter what!!

Hey buffz ma luffz,
thanks for the comment
i agree with what your saying there, it is best to enjoy where you are now rather than focussing on where you want to be. I'll keep that in mind :D
love you always

(YOUR FACE!)
Hey Liz! Miss u guys so much, its been like a whole week! Liz hun I know exactly what you are on about, its annoying being a girl but its so good you gave that guy to God, i'm proud of you! You know what hun, God has someone perfect for you and its when we fix our eyes fully on God that he brings those special people into our lives. But now while you are still young, enjoy having guy and girl mates, depending fully on God so that He may fulfill His purposes for you, who knows where He might take you and who you may bump into....but the guy He has for you will come, so don't freak out, just be the princess you are. Love you lots xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks my sweet! YOu guys mean so much to me, i'm missing you heaps! You honestly are like my family and I miss getting to hang out with you guys everyday :'(
I'm trying to get my focus on God - it's getting there, slowly! I appreciate you guys encouragement, thanks so much. And God bless this next week! :D
can't wait to catch up with you guys again
