A Girl's Guide to Guys and God.

Just Another Example

So almost every time I have any instance in which I can tell I like this kid the first time I see Avalon or Whitney I start out with "There's something wrong with me.". As if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Once I walked into lunch, sat down, and put my head in my hands and began with "Something's wrong with me." I can barely describe how bad I felt when Whitney responded with "Barry again?" She didn't mean easy harm I know that but I still felt bad.
When I got home I texted Avalon and asked her if my crush problems bother her. She told me with all the sincerity in the world "Akzimm22, your crush problems are NORMAL!"
Once again I had another one of those little run ins that are so small but make me so happy.

I'm working my school science fair running station with Whitney and another friend. Everyone gets a paper that has a question from each station. They must go to the station, get the answer, and a stamp from the station worker. Barry comes in for a period and I'm kinda excited for him to come over to our station so I can simply talk to him by telling him how to play our game.
I'm getting antsy watching him go to literally every station but ours. It's almost the end of the period when he finally comes over and I simply tell him how to do our Touch & Feel game. He does it and I check his answers. He's just being his usual happy self. I'm so happy that I'm suppressing a little girly, giggly smile.
The period ends and he leaves. The next period Avalon comes in and I tell her about it and she was so happy for me.

Girls if you're in a situation like me and feel the way I do. I'm just going to tell you that, just as Avalon said, those "problems" --also known as feelings-- are NORMAL. It's okay. Seriously, don't beat yourself up about it. It comes with being a teenage girl. The important thing to remember is that it's okay to crush as long as it doesn't crush your relationship with God. If God wants you with this boy he'll put you two together. In the meantime, it's your job to maintain your relationship with him with an unwavering strength. No boy. No crush. No anyone. No nothing should ever come between you and God.
