so school started monday, 8:30am.

i was late to my first class, and for the last 4 days, i’ve been kinda really busy.

like REALLY busy.

between not having all my books yet, braiding a friend’s hair, talent show auditions, crushing over this cute guy, ACTUALLY studying, and trying to be a responsible leader for the extra-curriculars i’m involved in on campus, i’m POOPED.

.

so, like on tuesday night, i started talking to God on my drives home

(i live 20 mins from my college, and this week i haven’t been driving with my lil sis much, so it’s just me and God)

.

so yeah,

i told Him (God) that i like this boy, and that i facebook stalked him, and that he dresses like an Urban Outfitters model, and that i wouldn’t mind talking to him again. and that this boy is really cute.

.

mind you, i met this boy ONCE. ONCE.

last thursday, for like 5ish minutes.

but that was enough,

…

so anyways,

I told God what I wanted. and He said no. No, i can’t have this boy.
At least not anytime soon.

.

How does God say “no”?

By not letting me bump into him around campus.

By allowing me to see the immaturity of falling for a guy you’ve only known for 5 minutes.

By giving me a wise friend, who said a really profound thing to me today. Something to the effect of this:

[this is not direct quote…more just  a summary, lol. i have a bad memory]

Make sure you’re living the kind of love story that you will be proud to tell your future daughter. [Vimbo], be the kind of 20-something-year old that you’d want your future daughter to be….

And remember - - your job as a women is to just be beautiful. Be kind. Be loving. Show respect, and demand it from those around you. And to just wait. 

.

.

Yes, God still speaks. 

through people

through situations

AND

most importantly

through His Word.

.

Read Psalm 119 [the chapter He’s been inviting me to read all week]

and think about this:

a man is only as good as his word,

and God’s Word

is infallible.

God is good.
