"Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires" -Romans 8:5

Patience is totally a virtue

What is it that makes us want what we know is not good for us? Psychology is so interesting to me...what the mind thinks.Why is it that we fall for boys and girls that we can't be with or shouldn't be with and that we know we shouldn't be with? Is is the attractiveness, the danger? What is it about the bad boys that we as girls like so much? Perhaps it is because we don't realize they are bad until they have us hooked lined and sunk. Then it's hard to get out of. Perhaps it's because we like danger, but yet we realize what we really want is someone we can trust and be safe with. Speaking from personal feelings, I feel like attractive strikes a hard note. It's hard to resist a good looking fellow who has a sparkle in their eye for you, bad or good.

What we need to realize is, who are we willing to let in? Who could possibly break hearts, ruin days, or perhaps do the opposite; mend a broken heart or make the day worth while. Guys and girls need to be careful with who they decide to let in. Don't let it be just anybody who winks at you.

I have also figured out that I am not patient. It's important to date around yes, but it's also important to not rely on your own will power to find a person but to also rely on faith. It's important to realize that God has a guy or girl planned out there for you. God doesn't have an age limit to when you will find that perfect mate, and sometimes you don't find them when you want.God knows the desires of our hearts and wants us to be happy, we just need to put our total trust and faith in him that "in his time" things will happen.

He knows what is best for us, and that's a great feeling. It's a great feeling to know that there is a Mighty God who will be with us the rest of our days if we let him, and give us peace and guidance.
