thoughts

So as I sit here watching The Bachelorette on television, I really begin to understand the meaning of the word..needy. Needy for love, needy for a partner, needy for a relationship. I almost find it kind of funny that guys can get like that. I know it has always been said that women are the needy ones but watching these MEN compete for a woman's heart like this is crazy!
Last week I was at my church's camp and one night the speaker talked about what men/women want from themselves. He said men want to feel strong and that they're good enough, like those alpha males on movies. Women on the other hand, want to be loved, want to feel wanted...aka needy. Now hearing somebody else tell me this I realized how true it is. Most everything a girl does is to either draw attention to themselves or feel important and loved. God created humans to have that need for love. Now that's exactly why we have reality tv shows where people are competing for love. They have to fill that need somewhere.
I think one of the best parts about being a Christian is that, even when we can't find earthly love, we have our Fathers neverending love! Christ fills and overflows our need for love. Think about it, I am always complaining about whether the guy I like doesn't like me back, or someone likes me and I'm not too interested...but we have a Father who we can always look to and no matter what we have done, will always love us! That almost just gives me chills that God loves us THAt much!(:

summer lovin'

.

steady as a preacher, free as a weed. couldnt wait to get goin but wasnt could ready to leave. so innocent, pure and sweet.  like american honey. its two feet on the dashboard, young love and an old Ford. and my whole world begins and ends with you. and when that summer sun starts beatin down and you dont know what to do, just go and grab someone you wanna see in a bathing suit and drive until the map turns BLUE.
