Joshua Harris
Been reading 2 books concurrently by Joshua Harris and I am really blessed by it. Knowing that I am not a avid reader of all books, being able to say that a book is good really meant a lot.
One thing that I've learnt from his books is that I am not alone facing all the questions about relationships in my life. His 'boy next door' approach towards the various issues asked by so many young adults regarding relationships made me see and view relationships do's and don'ts in a very different light. He made me realised through his books that relationships aren't a set of Do's and Don'ts and let alone a set of formulae waiting to be acted upon.
Ok, so the big question is what is a godly relationship then?
A godly relationship is one that is borne out of patience and waiting upon the master chef; God to serve up the dishes one at a time. In other words, a relationship should go through the various stages (accuinqtance, friendship, close friendship, relationship) before arriving at the last stop. Even so, by following the above steps, it doesn't mean that you will have a fool proof relationship. However, it does help to guide the couple along in a more defined manner. On hindsight, the dots always seems to connect. In my case, as I looked back pondering on why certain things didn't work out in the past, everything seems to joined up to what the books are talking about.
Yes I am still waiting. However, unlike the past where I am just waiting, now while I am waiting, I am keeping myself busy too! Been involved in small projects lately and initiated a new idea for my cg! Haha..yea just keeping myself busy till ahem ahem...the big day!
Anyway, been really blessed by reading the books! So you should go and grab one!
Ok, got to go back and work liao..choir pract tonight!
