I have this guilty pleasure, it is MTV’s Teen mom and Teen mom 2. The show is like a social experiment gone wrong. It takes teenagers that have had babies and follows them around. I think its the perfect show if you want to scare your kids out of having kids but I watch for the relationships.
There a number of things that shock me about t
PINIMAGEhe show and one of which is that no matter how poorly the girls are treated they always go running back to the guy. In the last episode Janelle (who has currently signed over custody of her son to her mother because she herself was an unfit mother) and her pot head boyfriend Kiefer broke up. It was dramatic as all eighteen year old break ups are but more than that it made me really sad.
As he was leaving she began to chase the car screaming after him and crying, “but I love you” and I couldn’t help but wonder how much of this was that she loved him and how much was it that she didn’t want to loose the part of her heart that she had given him? He was literally driving away with her heart.
We have all seen this in the halls of high schools every where. The girl that just can’t let go of the boy who is no good. Why though? Parents always wonder, teachers talk about it, and friends gossip about it. Sex, thats why. This is what sex outside of marriage does to girls. It binds you to the point where you can’t let it go. You’ve seen these girls, they run back to the boy time after time even though he’s not worth it. I’ve been that girl, my heart has been trashed but I ran back begging him to make me whole again because he had a part of me that I could never get back.
I wonder if you’re like I was and all you wanted was your heart back. You didn’t even really want him you just wanted to be whole again. Running back never mended what had been broken but running to the alter a few years later brought the healing my heart so desperately needed. Jesus is a healer, that was part of who he was on earth and he is no less of a healer now. He can mend your broken heart and give you a new life. All you need to do is ask.
Matthew 7:7
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
Lindsey - This is an amazing word! Such a powerful message! Even though I have never been in such a position, I will use this to help those around me that have or are!
Thank you!
Vanessa - I have been that girl and my heart breaks when I see other young girls making the same mistakes. Thank the Lord He restores!!! We r all made new. 🙂
Holland Cox - this statement is such truth:
“I couldn’t help but wonder how much of this was that she loved him and how much was it that she didn’t want to loose the part of her heart that she had given him?”
