dag, im feeling these books by joshua harris...
i just want to share some excerpts from Boy Meets Girl that really stood out to me:
"A Couple commited to God's glory places their ultimate hope in God, not in each other. Before two people can please God as a couple, they most first be individuals who want God more than anything else and who know that only He can satisfy the deepest longings of their souls."
"It's not enough to simply have romnatic feelings. Anyone can do that! Long-lasting romance needs practical, common-sense wisdom that knows when to let the wind of feelings carry us higher and when to pull back. When to express out emotions and when to keep quiet. When to open our hearts and when to rein them in."
"Patience is important not only in waiting for the right time to start a relationship, but also in allowing it to unfold in a healthy pace. Impatience rushes everything. It urges us to skip the time and attention a healthy friendship requiers and to jump right into emotional and physical intimacy."
"Anyone can have passionate feelings, but only those who seek God's purpose and timing can know the true joy of romantic love fufilled"
DAG! All this good stuff and ive just finished only the THIRD CHAPTER. It makes so much sense its rediculous.
