not anymore....ugh it sucks so much too...because i see him at least 3 times a day. >.< So what do you expect me to do? It's weird, because though I know he doesn't like me back....I just seems like he kind does like me. But maybe it's just all in my head. I'm guessing that I'm right.

I'll admit it... there's a certain girl who has been on my mind a lot lately. It is easy to become infatuated and to become sidetracked with that person, but keep this verse in mind:

2 Timothy 2:22 - Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

1.) Infatuation is a "youthful lust." You are commanded to flee from these lusts. You see, if you become obsessed with this guy, then you will not be able to devote yourself to God.

1 Corinthians 7:32-35 - 32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 34 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.

I know this is talking about married people, but infatuation has the same effect. If you are too busy thinking about and attending to this guy, you will not be able to "attend upon the Lord without distraction."


2 Timothy 2:22 - Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

2.) Devote your life right now to God. You won't regret it. Your single years and your youth are the best time(s) that you have to really get close with God. If you jump right into "relationships" at a young age, your relationship with God will never reach the level that it should.

Besides, you're only 13. Do you really need a relationship with some guy right now? Such a relationship is only for the purpose of finding a husband, and you are really far from being ready to marry, right? So why get involved now? Since you aren't ready to marry, it is most likely that one of the following two things will happen:

a.) The relationship will end because it can't last that long, and you could just be crushed. It also could end any potential friendship with that boy.

b.) The relationship will progress and it will become very difficult to remain physically pure with him, since you have been together for so long.

Do you want these things? I don't think it is wise for you to seek a guy-girl relationship for a few more years.


2 Timothy 2:22 - Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

3.) If you do devote your life to God now, instead of that boy, you will not regret it. Not only will you be closer to God, but you will become closer to those around you who are also following God. Because of this, you actually are more likely to build proper relationships, and to potentially meet a guy who is devoted to God like you are.

Think about it: You want to be with a guy who is devoted to God, right? Okay, well what kind of girl do you think he wants to be with? I'll tell you, he wants to be with a girl who is devoted to God also. So, put God first in your life, and you will become desirable to the godly young men that would make good husbands someday.

-----------------

I don't mean to insult you with this... I know that people take my words harshly sometimes. I just want to give you some advice. Take it from me, I've learned from some experience and from the advice of many others. You won't regret it. Put God first, and don't let Brent (or any other guy for that matter) sidetrack you from Him. wink heart

Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
