Love versus Sex .........

 Love and Lust are inextricably intertwined.

Now inextricably mean:
Difficult or impossible to disentangle or untie.

Intertwine mean:

 Spin or twist together. 

Lust is ground zero for hormones -- it's nature's way of bringing the sexes together to mate.

In fact, without Lust or shall I say some form of physical attraction, it's doubtful that Love between our species would have a chance to prosper at all.

The driving force of the sexual imperative  {Absolutely necessary} bridges the gap between the almost incompatible brain styles of the two sexes. 

Men fight wars over Lust, but they make homes and families for Love.

For men, Lust is a heady experience; the brain goes on hold and red-hot surges of testosterone run the show.
It is said the Lust -- like Love -- is truly blind. 

However, I do not believe love is blind. Not true love. Men and women many times choose to see what they want to see. A man or a woman will always show you who they really are, it you would but open your eyes to see! Especially if they have the wrong intentions in mind for you.

This is why, especially at the beginning of a relationship, it can be hard to tell whether you're in Lust or in Love.

Lust says I want it now ... lust does not care where, but it does care when, lust does not care if it is wrong. Lust simply want what it wants right then. Lust is very impatient.

On the contrary, love is patient, kind, considerate, and love cares. Love want the best for you and loves cares that  right always win.

So how can you tell the difference between Lust and Love?

Here are a few tips to help you sort things out:

If it is lust:

1 - You're totally focused on looks and body.
2 - You don't care about anything she/he has to say.
3 - You only want to be with her/him to have sex.
4 - You make excuses not to spend time with her/him, except for sex. 
5 - He/She is your booty call.
6 - You leave after sex.

If it is Love:

•  The chemistry between you is remarkable.
•  You get lost in your conversations and the hours pass like minutes.
•  You're more than willing to listen to him/her when he/she talks about his/her day.
•  You find him/her beautiful when they wake up in the morning.
•  You want to spend time with him/her.
•  All you want to do is to be with him/her, whether you're having sex or not.
•  You see or fantasize a future together.
•  You introduce him/her to your family.
•  Lust is short-term fun; 
•  Love is the long haul.
•  Even though the two sometimes masquerade as each other, 
•  you should be able to tell the difference.

 But remember ..... God has a master plan already for you and that

 special someone. So, be patient and wait on the Lord to reveal his plan to you for your life.

......The real trick is in deciding what you want and that's up to you;

To My Daughter Christina ..... Persevering ... I Love You!!!

There are two types of people in the world, the pessimistic and the optimistic. Unlike the pessimistic persons, the optimistic people always set their goals high, no matter what challenges come about.

When a challenge comes up to a pessimistic person, they put themselves They can end up having low self esteem. Optimistic people would welcome those challenges and overcome them. Know this Christina, you are an optimistic person. The other is : Fear and Caution.

 Fear and Caution may both have a similar way of operation.While one has the ability to prevent you from reaching up for your dreams and goals by masking your vision with false evidences that in your minds eye may appear real, the other one allows you to take your time in every step of the way till you reach your goals and make your dreams a reality.

Which of these two does what is described in the two instances above is what you have to search deep inside yourself to find. Be sure which one you are allowing into your soul. Know this, never give in to fear.

You have accomplished so much in such a short time of living. Continue to press on.

Never forsake God' wisdom and guidance ..... forever seek His face ... forever hold His Hand.

Life is about overcoming, persevering and believing, and you Christina DeLoris Edwards have embraced each.
