Tattoos.

I just love the things... if they are well done and tasteful. I enjoy hearing about why people put certain tattoos on their body and the meaning behind them. It's a beautiful, artistic way to show people what you are all about.

I posted on here a while ago about my tattoo and the reasonings behind why I had it forever placed on my skin. I don't regret it (good thing too, it's only been about 8 months!) and I never will.

But I am going to get another one some day based on Song of Solomon 8:6-

"Set me as a seal upon your heart,
as a seal upon your arm,
for love is strong as death,
jealousy is fierce as the grave.
... Its flashes are flashes of fire,
the very flame of the LORD."

It's so very beautiful and talks about how much the Lord loves us. This verse has been on my heart a ton lately, just thinking about the burning desire He has for me.

I've also been thinking a lot about boy/girl relationships and dating. I am definitely not ready to be in the whole dating/courting/relationship thing, nor will I be for a long while. In fact, I won't be ready until God hits me over the head with it... and that will be a long time. See, I've got a long way to go, a lot of things to do. Being in love with Him first is the most important thing and thus living in His will.

Lately, with re-thinking society, I've realized that few people exist who will come alongside me and serve. One is my dearest roommate, one is quickly becoming a dearest friend. They both seek to change how society places value on human life. They both feel the drive to serve, the need to show others what kindness, compassion, and respect looks like.

And for them I am eternally grateful. Thank You God for answering prayer.
