First of all, I remembered that other thing I wanted to tell you a couple bloggys ago. It's another dumb metaphor that I came up with. ooh! I was reading about my meyer-briggs personality type this weekend and it said that INFJs relate best through metaphors! Bingo! I always understand everything more clearly through a good metaphor. Also, I'm still getting used to being a "J". Always thought i was a "P". But I'm very light on the J, so don't "judge" me. hahahahaha!!
anyway, I realized a month or so ago that eating healthy and loving God are kinda similar, at least for me. I know how much fun eating like crap can be. It's fun when you're shoveling down the Little Debbies, but afterwards, you just feel guilty. You can't fully enjoy it because you know that that was detrimental to your goals. There's always that temptation to eat for fun and not for health, but its never as satisfying as it should be. I know that I'll benefit much more and feel healthier and have more energy if I don't imbibe.
Likewise, sin can be tempting in the moment. But it's all so short-sighted. The benefits of not giving into whatever (usually some form of selfishness...really, isn't all sin self-centered?) would help me to achieve my goal of knowing and pursuing Jesus whole-heartedly, but I'm so quick to trade my passion for a momentary idol. I guess that's why discipline is so important. If I'm disciplined in eating correctly, it makes it easier to be more disciplined in pursuing Jesus. Is that weird? My brain might just be wired weirdly.
I have a thousand other things on my heart, but I probably won't share too much right now. But I will say this....I heard several stories this weekend about boys being wishy-washy and leaving a girl in limbo while he figures out what he wants. I saw more of that non-sense on tv today too. I can't escape it lately. It makes me so angry! Even Christian guys...i mean, seriously?? THIS is what Godly woman have to deal with? I don't understand it! How do guys not know what they want and why would they dare to involve a girl unless they had a purpose? Maybe I'm just naive. I don't know.
oooh the other thing that bugs me is that girls don't expect that much. I might've phrased that wrong. Because I'm putting the blame on them, I'm again blaming the guys. They shouldn't be able to get away with a simple flowers and candy on valentine's day. seriously!?? Where is the creativity, the hard work, the effort? This is probably just an INFJ thing, but my goodness, I would want to have to work for it! I would want to have to woo her and charm her and pursue her. I'm not saying a girl should play games or anything, but guys should know what they want and be adamant about pursing her. Maybe I live in a dream world. ...yeah, probably. But flowers and candy or a date to a restaurant doesn't scream romance. I mean, it's a good start, but...well, i can't tell you what I-I-I would do because I can't have you stealing my ideas! I'm just all about the passionate, romantic pursuit. But again, I'm probably a bit naive. And I reckon that there are lot of girls that don't really want that anyway! And I guess that's ok. I just don't like seeing guys not have to work for it. If you like someone, they should FEEL it. They should feel like a dang Disney princess! eh. off my soapbox. sorry.
Whoa...this is long and i feel like i hardly said anything! yikes. Sorry for once again not saying anything of substance. Your eyes deserve a reward for all that readin'. Here's a picture.
Dr. Piper and the Bleekers! random.
