Impatience can be crippling, especially when you crave to have a guy by your side. May this post from October 1, 2011 offer you the hope that Jesus extends to you: http://relentlessformyheart.blogspot.com/2011/10/this-ones-for-girls.html
Leslie Ludy:
"Authentic Beauty may very well be one of the rarest earthly treasures today. It holds a magnetism far beyond the loveliness of a properly painted face, and it possesses a charm that towers over the enchanting grace of a sweet personality. It is not ever to be discovered in the pomp and polish of high society, nor in the silk and satin of those conformed to popular culture. Rather, it emerges only rarely in each generation, and that in the life of a young woman--a young woman who is deeply loved by the Prince of her soul."
Paul Washer, to young ladies in America [listen to the full sermon here: http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=890718056]:
'The point im trying to make to you...is this: I want you to know what your culture has done to you. It has destroyed your femininity. It has destroyed your real beauty. It has destroyed any hope of elegance. And it has replaced it all with sensuality...If your clothing is a frame for your face, it's of God. If your clothing is a frame for your face, it's of God. If your clothing is a frame for your body, it is sensual and God hates it."
True Beauty - Leslie Ludy
"...so I want to challenge you that what we see all around us, and maybe even the version of Christianity that we've grown up with, that God is calling us to more than this."
Three Questions - Leslie Ludy
"It was like a honeymoon with Jesus..."
Amy Carmichael, mother to India's children:
"We often ask the question, 'what is the harm of it?'--about reading certain books, following certain pursuits, taking our recreation in certain ways. Perhaps we have been (working hard) and need a change of thought and rest of brain. What is the harm of the latest novel, even if it happens to be rather unprofitable? And we (who have not the time to read one out of a thousand of the real books that have been written) spend a precious hour by deliberate choice over something not worthwhile. We long to live a life to the uttermost, to touch souls to eternal issues. Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him is required. Is there no other path to reach our goal? There is not. Ours should not be the love that asks, 'how little?' but 'how much?'; the love that pours out its all and revels in the joy of having anything to pour on the feet of its Beloved. The question 'what is the harm?' falls from us and is forgotten when we see Calvary, the Crucified, the Risen-again Rabboni of our souls!"
