I love the idea of maximising time.
Last week,
Everyday was a fulfilling one.
And I'm rollin' that oomph in for the next six days.
People, people, people.
Wholesome lunches.
Inspiring conversations.
And learning heaps of new things
From my pile of latest additions to my home library.
No, not fiction.
I've been poring over a volume of medical (but really fun) book,
Sean Covey's 7 Habits of Effective Teenagers (GRIN....I can't wait to share it with my darlings)
And a brilliant piece by Joshua Harris >>>
I Kissed Dating Goodbye
Ahem.
Please don't jump at it and say that's for nuns and monks.
Cos you'd be nuts to think I'm trying to be one by getting this book.
IKDG reveals a beautiful perspective of dating and relationships with people and God.
Without any exaggerration,
My light bulb going TWINK! at least once per page.
Let me throw you a few quotes from Harris:
(with slight modifications; for very purposeful reasons)
Relationships with the opposite sex can no longer be about
'having a good time' or
'learning what I want in a relationship'.
They're not about getting, but giving.
Every relationship for a Christian is an opportunity to love another person
Like God has loved him.
To lay do our desires and do
Wwhat's in his or her best interest.
To care for him or her even when there's nothing in it for us.
TO want that person's purity and holiness
Because it pleases God
And protects him or her.
I have no business asking for a girl's heart
And exclusive affections
If I'm not ready to consider marriage.
Until I can do that,
I'd only be using that girl
To meet my short-term needs,
Not seeking to bless her for the long term.
True love isn't just expressed in passionately whispered words
Or an intimate kiss or an embrace;
Before two people are married,
Love is expressed in
Self-control,
Patience,
Even
Words Left Unsaid.
I find these words so true and wise.
And guess what.
Harris wrote this when he was 21 year-old.
(gulp)
Okay, this' it for today.
I'm so tired,
I can feel a weird warmth over my head.
I'm knocking out.
