What the heck does ‘INTIMACY’ mean anyway?

Intimacy. They very thought of it petrifies some, having had their hearts burned on the hot stove of someone’s carelessness and cruelty.  Others find it to be a driving force…

Hero Recognition

I love recognizing heroes.  They’re all around us carrying out their heroic deeds every single day, but seldom are they recognized for their sacrifices. Heroes don’t parade about for recognition, in…

I’ve been reading a book that says that to be content as a single I have to have faith that God’s plan is so much greater than my own and that he has my ”love story” under control. Sometimes when I see a guy that’s, well, enjoyable to look at, my mind begins to whirl into fantasy world. I recently saw a guy that, I’m sure, if I look at for even short amounts of time, will land me in fantasy world for a good hour. So I made the decision that I just won’t look at him, I’ll avoid thinking about him, and I’ll make sure I don’t get “primped” for him or maneuver situations so that I “coincidentally” end up sitting near him. In fact, I’ve been so strict on myself of not looking at him, that I’m actually kind of afraid to be around him. I’m trying to avoid so much, but I’m starting to think that isn’t exactly what the book was going for. I want to be to admire the fact that, yes, he is rather attractive, and yes, he is a great Christian guy who is one day going to marry a wonderful girl, but that I am content single and that I will not be that “wonderful girl.” It’s just that I’m so terrified to end up in fantasy land because then it looks like I’m not trusting God, but I also feel that all this avoiding is a bit silly (but maybe somewhat necessary?) I just don’t know. Thanks, Christa! Annie H.

Well first of all, I think you’re thinking too much.  (I know this trait well).  We analyze things/ourselves/motives to death.  But the great thing is, we NEVER have to go…
