Being A Girl

Most of the time I thank God that He made me a woman. Really I do. But there are sometimes when I hate being a girl. Like right now. I hardly ever fall for guys, really it's not that I'm hard to impress, but more like I try to be realistic and down to Earth about the man I want in my life. So why is it as soon as I find someone with qualities that I admire, I fall head over heels?? I mean, we have barely had ten full conversations and I've already planned out our wedding and named all of our children. Really?? Why can I not just remain calm about this type of thing? I just don't understand.

God is so G-O-O-D

There are times when I swear that God just reaches down and shakes me. Ok, not literally, but I am sure that He uses other people to do it. Paul and Virginia Friesen spoke at our college group tonight, and they spoke about God's design for sex and marriage. They, along with the amazing worship, reminded me how much God loves me. They reminded me that God thinks I'm beautiful and wonderful and that I can't settle for anything less. He sent His only Son to die on the cross for my sins, and I take that for granted everyday. Everyday I forget how much He loves me, even though He is constantly showing me and taking care of me. I needed this night. It's like I know these things in my head, but I forget them in my heart, and sometimes He just uses these situations to jolt me back to reality. THANK GOD!
