Relationship

At the moment, there are just so many things running through my mind that I just kinda let them flow and try not to focus on all of them. I'm really enjoying the weather and that defenitely affects my mood in a very positive way! At the same time, I often have headaches, and not very serious ones, but it's just not very... amusing. I think I'm going to see a doctor within a week or two, because I really want to know if it's only because I'm stressed or something or if there's another reason.

Interesting subject: God is teaching me about relationships. I fall in love way too easy and God asked me the question if I would call something like that réal love.

I guess it's not. I know it's not.

You can fall in love with almost every guy (or girl, for the guys who are reading this) that is nice to you, looks nice or something else that makes you like that person. But the fact that I am single, does not mean that I have to look at every guy as a potential boyfriend or someone I could fall in love with. What would my love be worth for that one person I would finally choose to share my life with? If I would tell him that I love him, what meaning would that have, if I had told that same thing to dozens of guys I was in a relationship with before him? If I already kissed a dozen of guys before I was with him? (For the record: I'm not saying that that's my reality, although I know that it's almost getting normal to live like that in the society we're heading to these days).
I think people are capable of controlling their love (or lust!) feelings for someone else, but these days we all want things to be easy, so if you're starting to fall in love with someone, why not give in to that feeling? Love is great right? Yes, it is!! But not if you handle it like a product you can buy, try out and bring back to the store to buy something else if you didn't like it. So many love relationships arise from selfish motives. I love that person, I want that person to love me, I want that person to take care of me. But if I would go into a relationship with that state of mind, would I be aware of the things that happen in the heart of my partner? Would I care about his feelings or only about my feelings?

Well, I see that it's such a large subject that I could talk about it for hours. I still have not totally figured out the ríght way to handle it, but I already am aware of some wrong ways, so that's nice, hehe :D.

The number one rule for any relationship is: place God on number 1! Pray together, ask God for advice and guidance in your relationship as friends or as boy- and girlfriend. I can not imagine how I could have a relationship with someone who doesn't believe in God. Of course, it is possible, but it would make things so much harder. If you would find any problems within your relationship, you would not be able to pray together and listen to God's voice. If you would make a certain decision because God told you to do that, try to explain that to your partner...

God is number one in my life and always will be. I pray that He will lead me on this subject and I know He will, because He already is leading me! I really want to follow His ways, because God's ways are gooood!

Now I think it's time to sit in the sun and relax. Yep, that's what I'm gonna do!
