Getting Lost
When people read the title of this blog post, they may be confused about what I am going to talk about... Which I hope it makes you more curious as to what I am going to talk about.
Today I am going to talk about Getting Lost in Christ. That may sound either simple or may complicated to some... But by the end of this, I am hoping to be able to make enough sense for others to follow this kind of lifestyle that you can choose.
Growing up, I was always boy crazy... I always was liking guys (which there is no problem with that, as long as that isn't all you think about). My obsession with guys started when I was in Middle school and then it carried out through high school and haunted me my Freshman year of College.
To be honest, I am so glad the Lord has shown me that my obsession was becoming extremely unhealthy. Everything I did was to the point of having a guy on my mind... While I was hanging with friends (guys were on my mind), when I was on the phone (same thing!), while I was with family, etc... No matter what it was, guys were always on my mind.
It was super unhealthy, because I would get interested in a guy to the point of hounding and being very clingy, and then the guy would leave, and I would get heart broken... This happened one guy after another.
It was very bad... There were points as I was finishing high school and in my Freshman year of College that were very difficult with this topic of guys.
I got myself into very nasty and bad situations... It was very hard, because I gave into the peer pressure and just because I was getting attention from guys, I thought that at least I was getting attention at the time.
However that attention turned into disgusting stuff that made me realize that I needed to get myself out of situations.
The Lord really brought this stuff to light in my life. He showed me that I need to rely on Him first and foremost before He will allow me to have a godly man in my life.
Honestly, this journey is very heard. Sometimes I wonder why all my other friends are dating and I am not... But the more I ponder on this topic, the more I realize that I was making guys replace the love that should go to the Lord. He ultimately should be my first love and I should making Him my first priority in everything.
The more I see how God has been working on my life and being my #1, the less I have felt the obsession and trying to make guys fill that gap.
It has been a long journey for this to finally hit me and for me to finally understand that God needs to be my first priority. It has taken lots of heart breaks. But honestly I wouldn't change any of it, because He has grown me through it and I have been able to learn to cling to Him through it all.
So get lost in God... So much to the point that you don't need a guy to make you happy. Get Lost in HIM! Seek Him daily! Trust His plan for you! Know that He will bring the right guy in your life when He is ready.
