A Very Long Break

So...does anyone else think that this Thanksgiving break is dragging on for what seems like forever? I feel like I have been off of school for a really long time, but I have only been off for about 4 days! Today, I found something in myself that I didn't think that I had. My friend was talking to me about this guy (well for her, she is always talking to me about some guy). She kept telling me about how she always seems to push away members of the opposite sex. I told her that if this was meant to be, then it would work out. After that, I thought, how come all of these popular guys seem to be going for her when others don't seem to like her? I also wondered why I couldn't be like that. But then I realized, I could answer my own question. The answer is because I know who I am in Christ, and others are starting to see that. Basically, guys know that I am not going to give what they want, and they know that God dwells inside of me. Okay, maybe they don't go to the extreme of that, but they know that I won't lower my standards for them! I know that I am worth so much more than just giving myself to every guy around. I know that there is someone out there that God has planned for me. Last night, for the first time I stood up for myself and said no. It was the hardest thing to do because it was to someone I do love, but only as a friend of course. There is someone in my life, who helped me to do that. Well, along with God that is. Someone who tells me everyday that the reward for staying strong is pure is so much better than the reward after giving in. I am so greatful for those kind of people, but I am so thankful that I have a God that I can lean on when I am alone, and when I don't have those people around me to remind me of that! Ah...have an awesome 2 more days of break guys!
