i've been too busy enjoying with so many things.
things so unusual as it was before.
although things can sometimes go mad, i hardly noticed catching myself from despair.
Everything is totally great and loving.
It is so fun pleasing God in everything you think and do.
And when i think back of the disappointments and heartaches i had on my past, i can clearly say, it was all too selfish. Love was selfish. It is a worldly kind of love. not God's definition of love. After reading a few pages of the book, "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" I can say im still innocent if in terms of His definition.
The reason that I have little time in blogging its because I want to spend more time pleasing God and to learn more about His definition of true love. (i've spent also time farming which adds up also to my busy schedule *grin*)
its hard to explain my feelings today. it's indescribable.. i smile without even knowing the reasons why. (im not being lunatic or what) Its an overwhelming feeling entrusting your future to God that everything would turn out fine.And it really is. I've turn richer than i could ever remember - not financially but spiritually.
Being single would never be a problem at all. =p
Reading Joshua Harris' book entitles "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" had inspired me throughout my journey -- to wait for God's timing. i have just started reading a few pages. And I really recommend you to read it too. Its an awesome book.
I KISSED DATING GOODBYE
Introduction
Thanks for picking up this book. Some people never get past the title.
"My friends won't touch it," one girl told me. "They hear the title and say, "There's no way I would ever do that."
One guy urged me to change the title. "More people would read it," he said. Maybe he's right. I heard the story of a confused bookstore customer who asked the owner for a copy of I Kissed My Date Goodbye. Now there's a book with a message people would read!
I decided to call this book I Kissed Dating Goodbye because I want to be up front with you - there are some radical ideas on these pages. Most other books on dating will tell how to make dating work for you. This book tells you how to make your life pleasing to God - even if that means taking a break from dating.
So let me make a simple request. Just read the first chapter. If nothing in it grabs you, that's fine. But I think you'll discover that something in this book could help you.
You see, I don't want to argue with you about whether or not you should date. Yes, I'll be honest about the problems I see in the way most people date today. But ultimately my goal isn't to convince you to stop dating. I want to help you examine the aspects of you life that dating touches - the way you treat others, the way you prepare for your future mate, your personal purity - and look at what it means to bring these areas in line with God's Word.
So even though in one sense this book is about dating, in another sense dating isn't really the point. The point is what God wants. Discussing if or how to date isn't an end in itself. Talking about it serves a purpose only when we view it in terms of its relation to God's overall plan for our lives.
You may not agree with some of the things I write. That's okay. My hope is that you'll stick around to see what I have to say. If you at least walk away from this book with a little more wisdom, my mission will have been accomplished - and your life could be enhanced. I pray that the ideas shared here will bring you a little close to God's desire for your life.
So thanks again for picking up the book. Thanks for reading more than the title.
-Joshua Harris
