Complete
So I lift my eyes to You, Lord
In Your strength will I break through, Lord
Touch me now, let Your love fall down on me
I know Your love dispels all my fears
Through the storm I will walk on, Lord
And by faith I will walk on, Lord
Then I'll see, beyond my calvary one day
And I will be complete in You.

hey ppl. came across this from the book " boy meets girl", basically it's the sequel to "i kissed dating goodbye" by joshua harris.
some questions to ask yourself. what's YOUR definition of a successful courtship? What should the relationship become? after reading this book, i guess quite frankly, it helps me a lot. joshua harris believes that, if one is not ready for marriage, one should not even get into courtship in the first place! well, it is kind of true.. and i also read about many happy stories, and sad stories.
at the beginning of a courtship, a man and a woman don't know if they should get married. they need to get to know each other, observe each other's characters, and find out how they relate as a couple. this is what it means to get closer. but the fact is, the future is unknown, and it should motivate them to treat each other with the integrity that will allow them to look back on their courtship without regret, regardless of the consequences.
i guess i need to guard my heart and her heart when i'm pursuing this...relationship. one key phrase really stirs me - more than friends ; less than lovers.
` very true. of course, with all the peer pressure at school, i definitely look at my relationship with her and i ask, why am i not closer to her? why am i not like them? why doesn't she treat me the way my friends' girlfriends treat them?
well, i guess this may be God's test to me. the Bible states that if we are not married, we have no right to indulge in another's body. well, that's simple, that means not kissing her till mariage. and that may be quite simple to do.
the harder part is when i ask myself why she doesn't treat me like how my friends' girlfriends treat them. well, courtship/bgr is basically about serving the other partner. as a guy, i feel/ and i am called to lead the relationship. if she is not ready, i should not force/pressure her. she's now in the midst of exams, so i have to understand that she has to study, no matter how badly am i thirsting for her company. that is the only way i can further the relationship, if it is God's will.
quite frankly (and i don't mind declaring this out), my first kiss i plan to be at the altar. during the courtship, i don't even plan to touch her sensually. the most will be holding hands. protecting her purity and guarding her heart, that is my role.
