These are the 3 things I want, as of late. I don't feel as if this is asking too much.
1. I want guys to be INTENTIONAL with girls. If I don't stand a chance, don't flirt like crazy and make me think that I do, just to leave me with a broken heart later.
2. I want guys to actually look around. There are PLENTY of good, decent, wonderful women around that are just waiting for the day they catch the eye of that guy. Most of what's holding the guy back from just looking around him are completely superficial reasons.
3. I want guys to actually not give girls cop-out answers. Yes, 'You're like my sister' is a COP OUT, especially if you're known to flirt with said person. If she was really like your sister, you wouldn't flirt with her. Chances are, you're really meaning to say 'I care about you and don't want to run the risk of hurting you and ruining our friendship'. If you really feel that, if you got into a relationship with your best girl friend, the friendship would be ruined and that's not something you're willing to risk then TELL HER instead of saying 'Oh, you're like my sister' and continuing to flirt outrageously.
UGHH!!!!!!

For Jennilee and Matthew :-)
I'm not 100% if I've mentioned it before, but two of my treasure-friends (Matthew P and Jennilee) are going on an 11 month (!!!! in the words of just about everyone) mission trip called The World Race and they're both leaving in September. Being broke and jobless, I've been trying to help Jennilee with little things, like the barbecue dinner she did the other night and the yard sale she's doing in a few weeks (I love 'hands-on' help, honestly). She still lacks around 3,000 dollars to meet her goal, so if you'd like to help her be the hands of Jesus, go to www.jennileebaird.theworldrace.org (here's Matthew's link as well- http://matthewpoole.theworldrace.org/)
Both of these people have impacted my life in indescribable ways, and both of them have very powerful testimonies. Jennilee became one of my dearest friends, and God has used her to encourage me and remind me of what I needed to hear (even if I didn't want to hear it...and if I could count the times that I've said 'You told me so...'). God's used Matthew to speak truth into my life and encourage me so many times. I wish I could tell both of them how much of an impact they've had on me, but it would honestly take WAY too long to go through that.
During their trip, they'll be working with orphans, which is my heart, and I know is the heart of many people, especially families that have adopted. I'd encourage you to go to theworldrace.org and see if you can support them and this ministry.
:-)
(PS-went to see the Medallions in June...will post pictures soon, I promise. There's one that I obsessed over, because i wanted it to be pretty...which will take more explaining than the blog-o-sphere needs to have ;-) but needless to say, it's ended up being one of my favorites. And I may be taking the girls to see them soon, which will result in more cute pictures of Ellie and her BFF Josh)
