A Women's Intuition

"I Think He Likes Me . . .
"I really think he likes me!" Based on what?
"He looked at me a certain way in church last week. . . ""He called me about homework. He could have called anyone, but he chose me. . .""We have so much in common, it just makes sense . . .""We just have this chemistry . . .""He came and sat down next to me at Tuesday's meeting. . .""When we're out with the group, he tries to get me alone. . .""He flirts with me--it's so obvious!"Women's intuition. Is there such a thing? Perhaps we have been given an extra measure of relational discernment. But we take it too far, and it is certainly not reliable when it comes to our own romantic hopes. I once heard a wise pastor explain that there is only one way to know if a boy likes a girl, and it is this: he will tell her that he likes her. Until then, the pastor said, it is safe (and wise) to assume that he doesn't."-Lydia Brewback

This morning as I was looking through some of my favorite blogs, I popped in on the Purple Cellar Blog and found this post labeled "I think he likes me". I laughed as I looked back on my past, and the many times in which I questioned a certain Young Man's motives/intentions towards me, God's Will, and His Sovereignty over that situation in my life. In my singleness I realize now I was not content in SO many many different ways.

Yet, once I let go of all those things (my desires and Hopes for the future) and laid them all before the Lord and stated what is listed below I was pursued!:

"God, you are aware of my desires, and my needs. You know what is best for me at this time in my life. Lord take these feelings and desires away if it is not time, or if it is unappropriate for me to think in these terms. Take my heart and make it fully yours. That I may know the Love of Christ more deeply and more intimately than any other. Make me desire you completely and you only. May I pursue you and a future with you without thought to what my life may look like and what I'd be 'missing out on' by the world's standards. May I reject the World's lies that lead me astray from you and cling to your cross for guidance & strength that I may endure and be steadfast. Lord I desire to trust in your goodness and in your faithfulness and not doubt your sovereign perfect plan. Allow me to catch of a glimpse of understanding your ways, that I may walk out in TRUE faith before you in the midst of my singleness."

Basically I ordered a shirt for both Christopher and I (and Caleb, but he wasn't present for the pictures) and we were asked to take pictures of us in them and then present them to the Harris Brothers for a contest or something... we had a blast and never imagined that these would be uploaded to their site. How fun!
