Weaknesses
I feel that I need to comment based on yesterday's post that everyone has an area of weakness. Some people gamble, some smoke, some cuss. My area of weakness is boys (obviously). But I ask sensitivity from you that you not freak out over my post. I am trying to be real and I am serious about fixing this area. So please treat this as such. Treat it as if you were dealing with a gambler, a smoker, a cusser, etc.

Hey! I am so glad you have a blog now!!! You should check mine, at bcookieisin.blogspot.com!!! Hey I guess i will see you on Sunday!
BCookie!
Sydnie,
I hope you don't mind me posting on your blog...I found you through BCookie :).
I want you to know that I love you and want the best for you. You have so much potential for the Lord for His immediate use and for the future. So, please take my comments as coming from someone who has been through the "boy" stage and survived and therefore understands...and someone who has the benefit of hindsight to offer.
Keep in mind that liking boys is not necessarily a "weakness" as you put it. God designed for men and women to like each other!! The problem comes when you put something or someone before God in your life. God is to always be the center of our attention even when we are married. So, are you ready to be married? If not, I would recommend making it known that you are not in the market for a boyfriend--all boys are just plain friends until you are ready to be married.
One more thought. It can be really dangerous and detrimental to call things "weaknesses" when they are really sins. Gambling, smoking, and cussing are all sins that need to be addressed and forsaken. Forsaking our sin is an everyday battle for all of us.
This is my prayer for you and for all the girls at church:
"And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgement; that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God."
Philippians 1:9-11
Love, Mrs. B
