I’m slowly re-learning to let go and let God.
This constant wanting for an “other half” to pour my love into is basically blindness. And teenage hormones, I guess. But really, that love can be redirected into so many other places that are, at the moment, much more important, namely the Father’s work.
Here’s to refocusing, refreshing, and renewing.

It is perfectly natural to want to love and be loved in return, to desire to date and marry and share your life with someone. :) Don't beat yourself up about the normal desires we all have at some point in our lives.

I agree that obsessing about it can be an issue, as it can become an idol in your life, so I applaud you on your decision to refocus and set your attention on God. That is key. I was only able to accept that desiring to meet someone and fall in love and marry was natural once I had fallen in love with Christ. He is the only one that truly satisfies. :)

Feel free to IM me if you ever want to have me pray for you or if you want to talk. :) Thank you for sharing and have a blessed day.

Just eat right, read the scriptures, and exercise daily to occupied the mind until you have reach maturity. Chasing after little boys is not going to get you nowhere, but in a big mess; I know you think you are mature enough, but it is really the hormones that is doing all the thinking for you. so just be patient.
