love your Savior and your neighbor as yourself...

hi!

Today is club with the dad and I show. Praying it all goes well, and the kids have fun.

I just have been craving something (yes, I'm hungry right now) but it's more of a spiritual craving. I love reading my bible, reading my utmost for His highest, listening to Christian music, praying, and fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ, but there's something missing, and I can't figure out what it is. I was thinking possibly...a boyfriend? I have to admit I do get frustrated with the whole dating thing. I want to date, but people are stubborn and give me mix signals leaving me confused. I don't know what to do, I pray about it but I guess I just don't have patience for it (which I'm working on) I'm always scared I'll miss out on a great guy, but maybe God doesn't want me to? Maybe I should just love in general. Love my brothers and sisters in Christ as so it says in 1st Corinthians 13, and 1st John 4 and loving my savior and neighbor as myself.

Interesting conservation I had with somebody recently:

"I'm religious,but I don't take the bible as literal as you do, I pray, sometimes read my bible"-my friend
"As long you put substance behind the words, it's fine"-me
"what do you mean substance?" -my friend
"people read the bible, do not put substance behind the words"-me
"I will love my neighbor as myself"-my friend
"love your Savior and neighbor as yourself"-me
(irony)
"Well, it doesn't say that. It says "Love God, and your neighbor as yourself"-my friend.

I had to bite my lip because I knew she would refuse to listen, but I'll pray for her, and she'll figure it out.

the title is a song by Above the Golden State....title is pretty explanatory.

God bless! Faith.
