how to get that boy to like you...

Ive had this thought in my head for over a week and haven't been able to blog at all.
I'm gonna try to get it all down now. Haha

"Where's my favorite guy?"
"Kiss? Kiss?..........kiss?"
"Where's that boy that I love?"
"How do I get that boy to like me when he already likes a girl with brown hair?"

These were just a few of the questions I heard from a 4 year old about my brother and to him.
And most of these questions she's going to keep asking for years about other boys I'm sure... She started young though.
I found it slightly ridiculous and real funny. Sometimes I wish girls were.different.

"Ooooohhhh!!! I know!! MaybeIcouldtellhimwecoulddowhathewantedtodoinsteadof (deeep breath) whatIwantedtodo.And wecouldplaywhathewantedtoinsteadofwhatIwantto!!!!" (This was all said in a raspy sqqqueeky 4 yr old voice. If you can imagine it. It's so great.) I seriously thought she was gonna have an asthma attack or something.
Sadly, I told her it was a great plan to get him to like her instead of the girl with brown hair.
Maybe there were 50 other things I should have said. Ehm, I dont always say the right thing though.
I've got a bigmouth, and I tend to say whatever pops into my head. Plus my motto used to be -its okay, as long as its funny.-
Turns out living my teenage years by that motto wasn't the smartest thing I could have done. Anyway,
All that to say, I didn't want to burst her bubble and I encouraged, well more like egged her on I guess.

And its given me a lot to think about since then... About boys. And girls. and the stupid things we do and say to get someone to like us. And we shouldnt have to get someone to like us. The right person just will. And all the time and worry and stress and thought that goes into who likes who and relationships and finding the right one. How I wish so many people could just be friends and be happy and have a good time... I wish people wouldn't be afraid. I love so many beautiful relationships I've seen. And I hope everyone ends up with exactly who God has for them. And I wish people would just have a good time and not worry about things. I don't like confusion and misunderstanding. I don't like being sad about things I can't change or fix.
I don't like people rushing into things. I don't like people dragging their feet. I don't like girls pursuing guys and trying to do something to MAKE him like her. I'm sorry when things don't work out. I'm happy when I see you following God and doing what you think he wants you to.
Idk, it was a lot to think about at once... Seems like things would be so much simpler if people would just trust God that he knows what's up. He has a plan. I love it when they do. So many people I know trust God so much. It's beautiful.

I love you. And you don't have to do what he wants you to do to get him to like you instead of the girl with brown hair.
God knows what's up. Keep trusting him. Your relationship with Him is what matters most.
