"preach it sister..."

In the last couple of days, I've found myself in situations where I'm suddenly being asked for relationship advice. New relationships, old relationships, secret crushes - they've all come my way. Oh the irony, I'm the last person I'd take advice from at the moment. But I think that's the point. I need to take some of the advice I am so merrily dishing out. I need to trust what I am saying to others wholeheartedly. Whether it is as big as aknowledging that God is control and I am not God, or as small as following my own advice and removing the poke that was allowing me to see (and obsess over) Matthew's facebook profile, I need to heed what I am hearing in my own heart. I'm looking for someone to give me the answers to the issues I face, when in reality, deep down, I know what God needs me to do. I just have to get right on it.

There are a couple things that I was really hit with today. One was that boyfriends/ girlfriends are a gift. Matthew belongs to God. I need to treat him like that.

The other was that each of these people who have sought advice need prayer. I need to get better on this one.
