No Boyfriend, No Problem (Love Languages)

That's the mindset I am trying to convince myself to behold. It is incredibly difficult, but I'm going through the persuasion process that God will send someone in His timing. Danggg..

OK so over the past year I've been learning quite a bit about the 5 Love Languages. They are Quality Time, Encouraging Words, Physical Touch, Acts of Service, and Receiving Gifts. About 2 months ago I read the book explaining and giving helpful hints about each.

Everyone has one main LL (Love Language), and most people have a secondary. For example, my mom likes for others to speak the "language" of Acts of Service. I, on the other hand, have found Physical Touch to be the one I appreciate most. Over the past few weeks I have discovered that it's FREAKING hard to be a single, Christian, teenage girl that comes from not a very touchy-feely family and have that be your dominant LL. I need someone to hold my hand when I'm at church, watching a movie, or just at home chilling. I need someone to hold me for hours when all I need is comfort, or someone to stroke my hair as I fall asleep. Those are things I desire desperately to have, but I can't.

Juli Jenkins. I've mentioned this wonderful woman in posts before, and here she comes again =) Her help for me in this area means more than she knows. I love it when during church, Bible Study, or just riding in the car I can reach my hand over to her lap, and she'll just hold it. That speaks so much love to me, ahh I can just sigh thinking about it. And I love just stroking her hair during Sunday service. I mean, if she did it to me, that'd be 10x better, but I don't need to be greedy. I admit, it probably looks odd to others around us seeing 2 women holding hands, but hey. It's what I need. She's a good enough friend to get past the "ridicule" and give me what I need, and I am greatly thankful.

So what's your love language? I suggest the book to anyone: teen, married, single, divorced. It's such a beautiful and eye-opening concept.

Update

1. I have no significant other.
2. It's summer time! ☼

Life has been so strange lately. A TON of Subway and babysitting ($$), boy confusion, friend confusion... it's all crazy. I seriously hope this week brightens up so I can have a great start to summer.
I want to hang out with my friends all the time. I want to make money. I want to continue to be in awe of God's glory. I want him. I want new music ideas. I want to complete the Love Dare for my mom. I want to be able to drive by myself. I want, I want, I want.
I need to see His beauty. I need healthy relationships. I need to care for His people with a strong desire. I need my family.

Craziness!
