"My dear, you''re slow dancin' in a burning room"

I think it's funny how people pick and choose what they think God is telling them.

I was talking to a friend recently who is having all kinds of boy issues. I used to feel bad for her, but the more and more I listen to her the less bad I feel because I've figured out that she brings it all upon herself. She thinks that God is telling her things and giving her "signs" but it's pretty obvious to anyone lookng from an outside perspective that is a horrible idea. She manipulates everthing just so she can have reason to think that God wants her to be with this specific guy. Then she overreacts when he doesn't return her calls or texts (which is pretty frequently) and says that he just isn't close enough to God and isn't listening to God's plan well enough. Well sweetheart, did you ever think that God doesn't want the two of you to be together and that isn't part of his divine plan? Hmmmm.....how about we put two and two together now hun.

I know that I am no one to judge what God is showing her and what he isn't but it just kinda seems like she cares more about having a relationship with this boy instead of with God. It seems like she tries to convince herself that her relationship with God is more important, but from what I have witnessed, this boy is her god. When her relationship with him is good, then her realtionship with God is good. Or, I have also noticed that when this boys is struggling in his realtionship with God, she suddenly starts struggling too. I don't know. It just frustrates me when I see someone spirling downward and they don't even realize it. Or maybe they realize it but they feel like they have already put up such a front that they aren't allowed to struggle and question God's plan. At least own up to it when you are doing what you want and defying God's plan. Stop trying to twist God's commands to make them fit your plans.

Am I preaching to the choir here?
