With Freshman year officially being over ( Sorry, Justine! :( ) and me being back at home, you'd think that I'd just be having a completely fun and carefree summer, right? Surprisingly, that isn't the case. It seems that my girl problem is much bigger and more frustrating than I thought. I mentioned it on Facebook, but I'll fill you in again. Basically, there's this girl that I've been pursuing all semester, and I've finally made the decision to man up and ask her how she feels about me. Elli recommended not moving forward because I seemed really unsure of where I wanted to take this relationship. However, the Temple GCC retreat has helped guide me and decide where I want to go with this relationship.
Ever since the NJCA GCC retreat in January, my biggest goal in life is to reach out to and find someone in the same way that God reached out to and found me that weekend. This girl said that she doesn't believe in God, so doing this for her would make my goal that much more special and meaningful to me.
But tonight, I thought about Pastor Young's sermon about discipleship and how it has the potential to be both great and disasterous in this type of relationship. However, my feelings for this girl are so strong that I'd be willing to take this risk.
Basically, I want to pray for guidance from God to make wise decisions concerning this relationship. And if it is His will for us to be together, I pray for the strength, wisdom, and courage to reach out to her and help her grow in Christ. And even if things don't work out, I pray for the strength to put my feelings for her aside, to treat her like a brother and try to reach out to her, and to preserve what we have right now.
