For this past week I have been reading a book called God Girl, written by Hayley DiMarco. In chapter two there are articles about family, strangers, enemies and BOYS. If you are a young Christian girl like me going through an "Obsession" or "Phase" with guys, please keep reading
Take a look at how a God Girl acts with boys. She isn't competitive, always trying to one-up them. She isn't one of the guys. She appreciates them for their differences and doesn't try to make them intro her best friend. She knows that a relationship with a boy is very different thing from one with a girl. She is aware of how boys think and does what she can to protect their hearts and their minds by not leading them on or tempting them. She also knows that their way of relating and hers are very different, so when she is interested in a boy, she doesn't treat him as she wants to be treated. That means that loving a boy means willing to hold back a little instead of telling him all of the details of your life. It means allowing there to be some MYSTERY, some unknowns between you. A God Girl doesn't need a boy to be fulfilled and doesn't need to be heard by him to feel complete. She doesn't ever allow the pursuit of boys to be more important than the pursuit of God, that makes her very attractive. The confidence that the God Girl has in her relationship with God allows her to not be needy or clingy. She doesn't chase boys, call them regularly, text them many times a day. She has her own life and pursuing her own purpose, and she won't allow her emotions to overshadow that. Therefore, she doesn't let boys become her OBSESSION by dreaming of them all day and talking to them all night. Though she feels feelings of excitement and anticipation in his presence she tempers that with other pursuits, choosing to keep her focus on the bigger picture.
