"college kids"

The age old question:

What do college kids need to hear?
What do high school kids need to hear?

This question drives me nuts in a way; for multiple reasons:
1. When I was in high school, i wasn't the 'typical kid', so what I needed to hear wasn't what others needed to hear.
2. I have no absolute answer... but i think that's because there is no absolute answer.
3. I tend to feel that college kids vary more than high school kids. There are no longer 'clicks'; but there is more individuality.

So, this post is me brainstorming in the form of type; in an attempt to see if I (or maybe you) can come up with something

As I have been thinking about this question I have had a strange draw to the word 'desire'

Again, this may just be what I'm struggling with.

Maybe college kids need to feel like this God we talk about...that He desires them. God desires me. He wants my heart. He wants me to give my life to Him.

I'm single. The last couple years have been an insane rollercoaster ride as far as my heart goes. It was given away to someone other than God. And even though I kept telling myself that I was still in good grace with God, I was kidding myself.

Well, lately I have just wanted to be desired again.

i guess that I desire to be desired.. doesn't everyone?

I missed having someone hold my hand, or stay up till 1 in the morning on the phone, or having someone bring me icecream when I'm sick.

...but i'm desiring the wrong thing. I'm sitting here wanting to be desired; and God's sitting there saying 'hey, i love you! can't you see that? i'm always going to be here for you and if you trust in me i will bless your life. wake up jen! i'm right here!'

Gosh... i'm so dense sometimes.

I think that's something college kids (if not everyone) needs to hear.

Hmm... that's all i have for now.

If you have thoughts. feel free to share.

I love this:
'Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings, from the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me.'-Pslam 17:8-9
