At the moment I have started to read "Boy Meets Girl" by Josh Harris. Very good!!! It's about how to handle a God glorifying relationship. Josh Harris calls it Courtship.
Most people freak-out when you tell them you don't really date, but rather Court. You normally get the response, "Isn't that what they did in the 1800's?" I'm not a big fan of the name either. Think about it! It does sound kinda funny to stay your in a courtship! haha I like how Matthew (the youth pastor at Kingsway) called it "dating with a purpose". That's exactly what it is!
One part in the book really stood out to me, I even underlined it! haha Chapter 4 is called "Tell Me How, Tell Me Who, Tell Me When!", and he is pretty much talking about that!
He says in a paragraph;
"Our mindset is: "God, tell me who, tell me how, tell me when -- and then I'll trust you." What God wants us to see is that if He did this, our trust wouldn't be real. We want a definitive answer so we won't feel vulnerable, weak, and dependent on Him. But guess what? We are vulnerable, weak, and dependent on Him."
This was very eye opening to me! I never thought that was not trusting God!!!!
