I wanna be honest, I really thought we weren't going to last. You ask "Why ?" .. well, I can't give you a straight answer either. You know how you wish for the perfect guy to come along, that can meet your standards, and you finally meet him, but you have that feeling that something is missing ? I knew you met my standards, you are a gentlemen, you think of me before anything else & you respect me for me. You even tried to understand my religion better. Well, I couldn't ask for more right ? .. well that's what I thought too. But, the past week I've had this feeling.. is there even a spark ? And I didn't see us on the same level.. well I didn't think we could connect on a certain level. So, I left you txt messages that gave little hints, I talked to friends about it and all of them said that I should give it time. So, I sat back and waited, seeing if just there would be one time just ONE TIME when I would feel like you were the right guy.
Well, then I woke up today.
I found a gift in my locker today..
In my head at first I was like "aww" because this isn't the first shoe box gift I have got before xD , I believe 3rd ? +++ dead flowers :] But, when I read it in 1st period, I had that feeling. I knew you TRIED to get to know me better, I know your TRYING to make up little mistakes to me, I know your just looking to make me happy. I see, your trying, I know you are.. and you don't know how much I apperciate it.
See, when we were alone for actually 1ST TIME EVER today, I felt more "comfortable".. and when you still give me that Romeo&Juliet sweet talk about the sun, and you say all that corny stuff, I know you mean it. But, I'm just happy your happy with me.. well not with me, but you know what I mean xD I just wish you could be like that with me, all the time. But, that 30 minutes was the best 30 minutes we ever actually talked / spent together. And whenever it gets akward just standing there with you, I start to rub my face or stare into nowhere waiting for a kiss or something XDD THAT WAS SO STUPID TO SAY.
But, this blog is for you. I want things to work.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Michelle Reichenberger
aw thanks
ReplyDeletelove you too =D
I had no idea you were in a relationship. Having a boyfriend can definitely be a great thing, but it's also a great challenge. Were you there for Alex's message on biblical dating? I'll be praying that you honor and seek Christ in your actions. I expect to hear more about him!

ReplyDeletehey girl! i stumbled upon your blog action and was surprised to see that someone's got a bfriend. in addition to talking to people from the church, here's a good site with more info about biblical dating that really helped me when julian and i started dating way back when:

continue to be that light at school, in friendships... and now in relationships.
"Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life"
[Proverbs 4:23]

aww kathleen.
ReplyDeletei feel so sad that we go to the same school but i NEVER EVER see you and i RARELY ever see joanna. i didn't even know you had a boyfriend! shows how often i see you at school, right? haha.
but i wanna talk with you and joanna especially before i graduate. so i'm gonna text you two so we can hopefully get together sometime.
boooyfriendd?!?! i never knew!
just a little something i learned: remember to be careful and to continue to guard your heart because you and i are both so young. that's why i also need to be careful with these feelings that i have for andrew and i need to fully trust God with it. friends, boyfriends, people in general aren't perfect and they will let you down but God never will and God never changes. i just want to encourage you to keep being a light at school and to this boy and to guard your heart and make sure you are doing what God would want you to do.
i miss you so much and your dancing.. i love you so much kathleen! you and joanna's absence from bible study makes me sad! i'm praying for you both and i am very encouraged by you both!
press on!

Hey Kathleen this is Geneyem. I read your blog and it reminded me when I was in high school and there was a boy involved. It's nice to have someone there and someone to make you feel special. It's also nice to get awesome surprises that makes you smile. It's also nice to have someone who understands you and you can talk too. But I also remember how the boy in my life distracted me from my true love. I remember putting the boy first and putting God behind the scene.
ReplyDeletealthough having a boyfriend or having a boy there is not sin, it can be unwise. God calls us to be wise in different situations. Proverbs 8:33 says, "Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it." Be wise with your decision with this boy. Knowing that having a boyfriend now when you are not ready for marriage can cause many problems and cause you to forget or lose sight of Christ who can satisfy your every longing and completely make you happy.
I honestly regret having boyfriends before getting married (I had 4 before Caleb) because through those relationships I compromised my faith, I fell into sin, and I continued to lose sight of Christ. Those relationships did not draw me closer to God because they were very premature and didn't honor Christ. Those relationships were all about us, what will make us happy? We never thought about Christ or how we can glorify God in those relationships...especially since all of them were with non-believers.
Those relationships still affect me right now in my marriage with Caleb. They made me bring many baggages to my relationship with Caleb which made me sad. Why am I telling you this...because I want you to be wise and not regret the decisions you are making. I pray that you remember Proverbs 8:33 "Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it." Do not neglect instructions and please be wise.
Yes it might be hard going against the grain of high school that says having a boyfriend means you are special and that you are "cool" but remember you want to honor and please Christ first. So please consider if this relationship will do that in your life?
