Ecstatically Single

Good gurief! What to write about? Not because there is nothing, but because there is so much to write about. It's gotta be short and sweet, because I am strapped for time, so ...

Roight, then, that narrows it down. :)

My mum and sister got me a book called It's (not that) Complicated, written by two sisters, Anna Sophia and Elizabeth Botkin. The sub-title is: "How to Relate to Boys in a Healthy, Sane, and Biblical Way." Only a few chapters into it, but so far it's a good read. It's well-written, meets the reality-check, and has laugh-out-loud humour in it (which always wins me over).
One thing that jumped out at me is making one choice at a time (roughly put, because I don't have the book on hand at the mo).When I look at the long-distance view of guys and relationships, and doing right in every single situation, it gets a bit overwhelming. But they talk about pleasing God one glance, one reaction, one conversation at a time; each time asking one's self, "Am I going to please God or my flesh?" If only I remembered this 24/7! It's too easy to get caught up in life, in loneliness and desires, and forget what's really important.

Thought-provoking quote: "Don't sacrifice the permanent on the altar of the temporal."

Speaking of choices, a lady, while speaking to a group of girls, said, "For every one of you girls in this room, there are three men who want to marry you." (Ooooh! lol) "The devil's choice, your choice, and God's choice."

Wow.

Sobered,
