Are you kissing frogs? I’ve been there, done that. Unfortunately, I wasn't raised in a devout Christian home. I knew a tad about Jesus but I didn't know Him intimately, so I was boy crazy, really boy crazy. In fifth grade alone I had sixteen boyfriends (yes, I used to keep count.)

I always wanted to find my prince and started my hunt for him as early as Kindergarten. Guess what I discovered? They were all frogs. Not one of them was a true prince, a hero; someone I could trust my heart with, who would protect it and care tenderly for it. I couldn't understand why none of these boys could love me the way I believed I loved them. (Looking back, I realize what I felt for my fifty-three exes was not true love. It was

actually worldly infatuation, based only on physical attraction...aka lust. It was emotional satisfaction because I liked the attention I was receiving.) I call guys who don't know and love Jesus, "frogs." Sure, they have potential to become a prince if they give their lives to Jesus, but until then, they are to be avoided at all costs.

In my eBook, Kiss A Frog, Miss the Prince, I focus on four frogs we girls can jump into a swamp with.

1. The Infatuated Frog

This is a guy who can't get enough of you; in the beginning. He texts you all the time, he skips school to see you, and he spends money he doesn't really have on you. You're the little fly he cannot get his big, froggy eyes off of. It doesn't take long for him to tell you he loves you. Here's what he doesn't realize: He isn't in love with you, he's infatuated with you.
