Who Are You Desiring?

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Often times when we want a man in our life is when we see others with one. It reminds us that we are "lonely and without". I was with a group of girls and someone brought this up, "Love when you are ready, not when you are lonely." Song of Solomon 8:4 says the same thing, "...I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."
A guy can not fix that hole in your heart that is desiring something, only God can. Humans are faulty sinful people. We make mistakes and when others make mistakes against us we never fully forgive and forget, but God is perfect.
All of these things that we are wanting in a guy is only temporary and will not last in eternity, but God's love lasts forever.

A man is not made to complete you, he is made to compliment you.

Why do you desire to find a significant other? How can God meet those desires in your life?
Beverly in, "Lady in Waiting", tells us best.

I want to be loved.
"...I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. " Jeremiah 31:3

I want someone to adore me.
The King has brought me into his chambers to adore me. My lover is outstanding among 10,000. Song of Solomon 1:4: 5:10

I want someone to hold my hand.
"...I will uphold you with My righteous hand." Isiah 41:10

I want to be accepted and valued.
I am accepted in the Beloved. Ephesians 1:6

I want help in my days of trouble.
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble: I shall rescue you..." Psalms 50:15

I want to share my life - the joys and the struggles - with one person.
God will share with me the treasures of darkness and hidden riches. Isiah 45:3

I want a champion of my causes - one who is willing to fight for me.
"The Lord will fight for you..." Exodus 14:14

I want someone to meet my needs.
God is meeting all of my needs. Philippians 4:19

I want intimacy.
The Lord is intimacy with the upright. Psalms 140:13

I want someone to help me in life.
There is no one like God who rides the heavens to help you. Deuteronomy 33:26

I want to walk through life sustained and carried. I do not want the whole load of life.
Even to my old age, God will sustain me, carry me, and rescue me. Isiah 46:4

I want a companion for this life.
God invites us to humbly walk with him. Micah 6:8

Only God can meet the deepest needs and desires of your heart. A man may do it temporarily, but God will do it for eternity.

Adulting

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."
