In Leicester uni CU there are loads of beautiful and Godly single girls, many of whom I spend a lot of time with and know quite well.  It&#8217;s very difficult to maintain that level of &#8220;just friendship&#8221; with them, and very easy to let my mind wander into the realms of &#8220;what if?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that through my Church I know a whole bunch of the girls at DMU CU who are also beautiful Godly and single.  I think it&#8217;s often easier to let my mind wander with regards to girls who I don&#8217;t know so well and have less contact with.  I guess that&#8217;s because I don&#8217;t know then quite so well and don&#8217;t consider them to be close friends, so it doesn&#8217;t seem like I&#8217;m &#8220;breaking the rules&#8221; in quite the same way.<\/p>\n<p>My mantra recently seems to be &#8220;you are my sister, you are my sister!&#8221;.  It certainly helps a lot to think of other Christian girls in this way, because then I am far less inclined to think about them in certain ways, and far more inclined to put their interests above mine in terms of how I treat them.  In some ways it would be easy for me to try and &#8220;force&#8221; my way into a relationship by actively seeking one.  But I don&#8217;t want to do that.  As much as I look forward to being in a relationship, and desire that for myself, I also want it to be something that is based on God, and that he has layed before me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think that dealing with my singleness would be much easier if I didn&#8217;t know so many Godly girls.
