The following is a Note that I was tagged in on Facebook. I hope to fully embody this attitude.

A Word to my Christian Sisters
What makes you think that just because I am an Attractive woman of Godly intelligence that I'm incomplete without a mate? Who told you that without a man something's missing From my life? And if so, what would that be?
Love? I love myself. And more importantly I love the Lord He told me that when I delight in Him, He will give me the desires of my heart
Security? I have everything I need according to His riches in glory.
Intimacy? Now, how's a man going to get to know me when he doesn't even know who he is in the Lord?
See my Father told me I'm above a ruby's worth and a gem does not seek, it is sought. I'm single and that's all right with me.
See, it's not that I oppose relationships. It's that I detest co-dependency.
As a woman, I know it is not my role to chase after any man.
Esther 2:14 reads: That I am to wait on my king and when he's delighted in me. He will call me by my name.
My Lord does not intend for me to be needy or desperate.
I am to be Cherished, Relished, Valued, and Honored. It's not my job to convince him Or convict him of that. My mate will already know it, and consistently show it. He will stay on his knees daily, not just to adore me, but to praise the Lord for the virtuous woman he has found. So, when you see me by myself, I'm not alone, I know what I have coming to me. I'm single and saved, and right now that's all I need to be!

For Thought
A female's heart should be so lost in Christ that a male has to seek Him in order to find her.

I Am Evil
God, there's something You're gonna have to do for me. You're gonna have to humble me. 'Cause I'm still a bit confused. Enlighten me. I think the part of me that's human, like, the worldly part, is rising in me. Making herself known. The part that's like "Who is God? It's all about Man." I think I'm reverting back to that mentality that says "It's all about me." I mean, that's not even the main issue. I think the revival of my rebellious spirit/thoughts is the yesterday's revelation at Bible Study that I'm inherently evil. Romans 3:10-18 says:
As it is written
There is no righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.
All have turned away,they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.
Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips.
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.
Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
So, there is no good in me whatsoever. That's hard to believe. I mean, I know that humans think evil thoughts and do evil things, but does that mean we're evil by nature. Okay, I see how that is. You do evil things, you are an evil person. But, to group all of mankind under that umbrella? Like, I do not wish to slander or shed blood. I like peace and doing good. Like, I do bad things, but does that make me bad by nature? I thought that humans were inherently good but just not perfect. That we slip up. But it's quite difficult for me to accept that I am evil naturally. That is a strong adjective. Like, Satan status.
There were just so many questions that emerged after Bible Study. And so many weird feelings. Like, it's like Jesus is the white man that came to Africa to free us from our savagery. Almost like that. I mean, I what's so hard to accept is the fact that I am literally nothing without God. Nothing. Humans think they are the stuff, so when we hear that we are not in control/when we are called to relinquish it, it's like "No way." I don't know. I think I think I'm bigger than I am. But in a society that all about being the best that you can be, it's hard not to get gassed and feel like you've got control when you accomplish something. I dunno, it's all just so weird.
Going through this whole thought process, there's two sides of me. The side that loves God and wants to praise and worship Him, and the side that is confused and clings to worldly thought and logic. The latter part of me was explaining to my sister that the whole Christianity thing seems like a demotion. Like, a step down. I can't take care of myself or live for myself, so I have to give over my control to some being and bow down and worship this being. Then my sister says tho me that if I created myself, I could have chosen whomever I want to worship. But God is the one who created me. I didn't ask to be called into being, did not choose who my parents would be, my brothers, hair color, skin tone, the number of hairs on my head, none of it. It was all God. But then, I don't get why I am evil since God created me. My sis compared us to computers, how we create them, but they still get viruses. They have glitches. She that Satan represents the glitches in humans. But 1) Comps. are man-made and men are not perfect so the comps. are not perfect. 2) God is perfect, so shouldn't what He made be perfect? Maybe it's free-will. Like, God gave us free will so that there would be a chance for greater and deeper love. But He knew that that would come at a high price. That evil would be a side effect. Hmmmmm... I need to meditate on the Word. More to follow later.
