so i was hanging out with one of my friends lastnight, and she keeps bringing up going on a road trips and doing all this exciting stuff. and it got me thinking (because i'm more practical than i am spontanious). like, it'll be tons more practical for me to go in a year from now. Lord willing i'll have a stedy job and a regular income. so cool how God works it out.
i keep having really odd dreams. like, super weird. not creepy or scary like my usual ones, but like, 'where the heck did my head come up with this?' kind of dreams. bogas
i was talking with a friend today about kissing. not together or with eachother, sicko. haha. and the more i think about it the more it makes me want to wait till i get to the alter. cause seriously, how is kissing benifiting your relationship with eachother and with God?
it's so awesome how God has me and my quiet time laid out. like, when i have something laying on my heart, He puts it in my quiet time. He's so awesome!! lately God's been putting marriage in my quiet time alot. it's so cool, i'm learning so much.
"Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of selfcontrol...But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion." 1 cor. 7:5 & 9 isn't that way awesome?!?!
then in goes on to 32-35 to say:
"I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs-how he can please the Lord. But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world-how he can please his wife- and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world-how she can please her husband. I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord."
Paul's view on marriage is so complex. we know it's better to be single because it's benifitual for our work for the Lord, but Paul is practical. he knows that our passion to be with another is too strong for most to overcome. seeeeeeeriously. so awesome!!!!!
i wish i was strong enough to be content being single my whole life, but darn it; i wanna get married!!!! hahaha
it's so awesome how God works everything out for the better. it's so amazing to watch it unfold the way it does. like, you instantly think one thing when something doesn't go your way, but later on you're like, 'oooooooh....i'm an idiot' ya know??? hahaha
the computer that i'm normally on that has AIM literally died today. like, it won't turn back on. i don't know what's wrong with it.
not like i'm on much anymore anyways, but i'll be on tons less now. cause that whole aimexpress thing and how much i hate it.
