Feelings vs. Actions

Hey Girls!

Ok, so I like this guy at my youth group. I'm not sure of how he feels about me, but all of my friends & my mom are convinced he likes me. This is because back in March, our youth group made encouragement boards for one another, and everyone went around writing nice things on each others board. The guy I like, he wrote things that he would never say in person! It basically sounded like a love note or something!

Now this Thursday is our last youth group because it's not held over the summer. This guy is graduating, and then moving away to Santa Rosa.

We still talk at youth group, but he acts like the stuff he wrote to me never happened but he still flirts! We tease each a lot too.

Back in April, our youth group went on a weekend retreat to a camp. On the Sunday morning when we were to leave, me & him sat on the back deck of the cafeteria and had like a real conversation. I'm terrible at talking so I really didn't know what to talk about, but it was nice, and I'm pretty sure my heart beat was like a million miles an hour. I thought about telling him then, but I didn't.

Lately, I've been learning something though. That us as Christians, God Girls, we're not suppose to let our feelings control us. Like we're not suppose to follow our emotions, or follow our hearts as society says, because they can be deceiving. We should be following what God says and do what God tells us to do.

So that leaves me as to what do I do? I mean I know God is writing my love story and I trust Him with all my heart. I just don't understand.

I should mention that I've liked this guy since I first met him in the 3rd grade, that would be about ten years ago. And said boy has only come back into my life since I started going to his youth group back in October of last year. And I don't want to take things into my own hands because that will just make things worse. I realize God's in control here, but I just want to tell this guy I like him and be done with it. I don't want to worry about this because I know that God is faithful. It's just hard because I've never liked a guy this much before, and I don't know if I should be doing anything about it.

I'm just really confused. :/

Comment by Mykayla Turner on June 11, 2012 at 3:44pm: hmmm...well i totally agree that our feelings shouldn't control us, and i've actually thought about this a lot lately. so i think its okay to like this guy and everything, but you just have to trust God with it. so that would mean not letting this guy be your main focus. he comes second, God comes first. i think thats what makes some girls so attractive. yes, they like the guy, but they're not worried about what happens, because they're living for a greater purpose. so my advice is to love this boy like a brother in Christ, but dont get too worried about it, because God knows what He's doing! :)

hope i helped! actually, i just answered a lot of my own questions by writing this! lol :P

In my Bible study, all four of us girls liked a nonchristian guy at the same time, all different people/situations, yet so similar. Even though the guy you like is a Christian, you want to wait, pray about it, and see what His plan is. It may not be in His plan, but if it is, the relationship would have to consist of the Lord in the middle.

I know how hard it is waiting on God, but it's worth it. Don't listen to anyone else's opinions. Take them into consideration, but the only one you should be acting upon is Him, and the only plan you should be acting upon is His. Even though you're confused right now, He will reveal his plans and purposes to you. Write to him, pray to Him, don't hide anything from Him, and let him know how you're feeling...

God Bless,

Olivia

Comment by Mica D on June 11, 2012 at 11:31am: I have had the same feelings! what I would do is wait and see what God has planed for you!! I am nto a shy girl at all so I falt out told the boyI like that I liked him, and i took it in to my own hands! and did not wait on God to bring the right one into my life! and he took some things from me tha I can NEVER get back! just pray about it and see what God has planed! I am not saying the boy you like is like this boy but i am just wanting you to know what happened! and i was only 13 or 14 when that happened!!
