Is it wrong to have a crush?
First of all, you’re not in sin if you have a crush on a guy. Just wanted to clarify that, right off the top. God created men and women to be attracted to each other – goodness sake, that’s the first step towards marriage! BUT (and that’s a big ‘but’!), having a crush on a guy CAN be taken too far…it can become lust (we’ll talk about this more in Part 2).
In 1 Timothy 5:1b - 2, Paul exhorts his young friend: ‘…treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.’ This whole verse can apply to men and women alike. Like I said above, God created men and women to be attracted to each other…and He encourages us to find pleasure and attractiveness in the opposite sex. But we must do so in utmost purity.
Now you may be wondering: ‘How do I maintain my purity while having thoughts about a guy?’
Good question! And one that a lot of girls have.
First of all, just because you may think a guy is good-looking or that you think he’s fun to be around – does NOT mean that you have a crush on him. I really want to stress that because…well, I have said that I think certain guys are attractive (in their physical features AND in their personalities) and girls would just FREAK out and say that I ‘liked’ him, ‘had a crush’ on him, etc. Well, I didn’t…and I don’t. Just because you think a guy is cute doesn’t mean you ‘like’ him. (oh, and by the way, just for future reference…if I ever mention in a post that I think a guy is good-looking…don’t accuse me of having a crush on him…thank you ;)
Anyway, back to how to maintain your purity while having thoughts about a guy…
#1 – Ask God to help you maintain your emotional purity. He honors when we try to keep ourselves pure, and He will help us in that process. It isn’t easy! (Ha! I’m sure everyone could relate to that :)
#2 – Remember that it isn’t WRONG to think about a guy…but when you realize that you are a little too often, try memorizing verses and quoting them whenever you start to think of the guy.
#3 – Ask yourself how your future husband would feel if you told him (later in life) that you used to think a lot about this one specific guy. I think he’d be really hurt…don’t you? Guard yourself against having to confess this to your husband.
I’d like to share something with you about my parents…they are so adorable together. :) Well, for example, my Mother would make a casual remark about a guy (actor, friend, etc.) being a nice-looking dude – in front of my Dad. Do you think my dad freaks out? Of course not! He already has his claim on Mama. ;) On the contrary, my Dad would usually say something like ‘Yeah, he is pretty nice-looking’ or ‘No, no. I don’t think so. Do you really?’ And the same goes with Dad. He’ll see a girl that is attractively dressed, has her hair done nice – or whatever! – and remark to Mother that he thinks she’s really pretty. But, people! Just because they find someone of the opposite sex handsome or pretty, doesn’t mean that they LIKE that person. I mean, would it be wrong to say that my brother is good-looking (which he is, by the way ;)...would it mean that I 'liked' him? I mean, seriously!
Anyway…I felt lead to write this post because I got an e-mail from a girl not too long ago, who wanted to know my ‘opinion’ on crushes…because I had made a casual remark about a Christian singer being good-looking. She made it sound like I had a crush on the guy, and honestly, I started to laugh. :) So, my opinion on crushes?
You can’t help but have them…but have them purely.
Keep an eye out for Part 2 of this series.

You know it's cold outside when...
Your chore boots freeze to the porch.
The grass freezes and when you step on it, it crunches.
When the barn door doesn’t open.
When your cleaning cloths for milking are frozen to each other.
When the small stream coming down the hill freezes over.
When it's snowing...
Yes, my dear readers...this is a true story.
Love's Enduring Promise
Okay, I think THIS movie, in the Love Comes Softly series, is the most-loved. And I THINK I know why... ;)
This second movie in the Love Comes Softly series, mostly focuses on Missie Davis...
We still have Pa and Ma Davis (Marty and Clark)
But Missie is all grown up (played by January Jones)
They also have two little boys (not pictured)...but I liked this photo :)
Well, well, hello there, good-lookin'! ;)
Willie LaHaye, played by Logan Bartholomew
No wonder this movie seems to be everybody's favorite!! :D Or should I say...the girls' favorite. *haha*
Looks like blue eyes has some competition... :D
So anyway...these aren't spoiler posts, so I'm not going to say the plotline or anything. Just that if you saw the first one and haven't seen this one, you should. ;)
And if this is your favorite...comment and tell me so! :)

The Ultimate Gift
Okay...
Three things you should know about this movie...
#1 - Great casting
#2 - Great storyline
#3 - You will cry
That just about sums it up ;)
Drew Fuller as Jason Garner
FABULOUS job!! First time I saw this guy in a movie, and I loved his acting!!
At first...you really don't like his character...Jason is just a selfish little brat.But in the end, you can't help but fall in love with him.
Abigail Breslin as Emily
I.love.Abigail!! Go, girl!
She is such a sweetie in this movie!! ♥
Their relationship doesn't start out very well...but it's so sweet how much they think of each other towards the end...
*SNIFF*
Adorable scene here :)
Ali Hills as Emily's mom, Alexia
I.love.her. And her relationship with her daughter was so sweet! ♥
She's so pretty!
And reminds me a LOT of Lisa Pepper (Saving Sarah Caine).
It was about TIME!
(sorry...that may've been a small spoiler ;)
MUST see!
Great family movie...
there are only a couple scenes that could use fast forwarding...
Parents view before children is recommended.

*heehee*
Oh, by the way! Has anyone ever heard of/read the book called 'Darcy Takes a Wife' or 'Darcy and Elizabeth'? They've both by the same author...and are only a couple years old. I was tempted to buy them at a bookstore that I went to a few days ago, but hadn't really heard anything about them, so wasn't sure...If YOU have read them or know of them, please tell me your opinion! :)
~*~
Thing I made:
Well, I'm sure you've all seen the artwork that I have been slowly progressing in...
Portraits are my favorites! :)
Oh, by the way...here are the long-awaited William Mosely (High King Peter [Pevensie]) and Skandar Keyenes (King Peter [Pevensie])...what do you think? :)

You can see my other portraits in my post, '2nd period - Portrait 101'.
So...I'm pretty much done with the Narnia portrait series...well, I still have to do Eustace, but I have a feeling that won't take long. (No offense intended there!)
BUT, I'm thinking of doing a Lord of the Rings series...any 'yes'es out there?!
