Of girly-girls and jellyfish...

So I'm just back from a Lifeteen Women's Night. Which was awesome. Kate gave an amazing witness, which was along the lines of what I had been contemplating the night before.
Basically, the message is: God wants you to be HIS first and foremost. To be his spouse before anyone else's.
Which is definitely a trust-thing. I know I'm guilty of being the girly-girl who cries, "But if I surrender to God, he'll make me be a NUN!" But the truth is, God will give you the deepest desire of your heart. Which is ultimately... Eternity with Him.
But in my life right now... I feel like the deepest desire of my heart is just cheesecake and a good night sleep. Actually, I don't need the cheesecake. If fish are the symbol of Christians, I feel like a jellyfish. Mindlessly committing the same sins over and over... Drifting in the current without the strength or means to swim against it... And stinging other fishes with my ... stingers? Is that what they're called? It'd be a cool superpower, but as an analogy for my treatment of others, it is not so cool.
I guess the most important thing I learned (or relearned... a ha ha) from Women's Night is that this is pretty much the human condition. Not to be like, "I'm okay, you're okay" but more like "Oh... I'm not the only one that sucks? Good!" Something like that... God is good.
