Hello everyone,
I have been on this site for almost six months and I've had the privilege of corresponding with some Godly people in which I am thankful for. But over that time I met someone; we met a little over a month after joining and we simply hit it off. We began by writing emails back and forth then soon after we started to chat on the instant messenger and for a long while now we have been conversing over the phone. He reminds me repeatedly that at this present state he is not prepared for a intimate relationship and I want to understand that. It's not like he's leading me on or anything, he's blatant about it. I have been reading "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and it so happens that he has the videos, and so for the most part we are on the same page. I guess at times I feel as though I want more, and I can't help to question him about "why doesn't he feel the same?" but one of the principles in the book (I agree completely with, but it seems for me hard to do) states;
"Instead of waiting until friendship fully blooms, we rush into romance. Our impatience not only costs us the beauty of friendship as singles; it can also place our future marriages on shaky ground. Strong marriages are built on a solid foundation of the mutual respect, appreciation, and camaraderie of friendship."
I want to wait on God concerning him. Yes, I like him
(A LOT) but I know that instead of pressuring him or expressing my feelings to him. I will continue to express my feelings to God and I know He will do what he sees is fit. A maiden in SOngs of Solomon says, "I want you to promise me... not to awaken love until the time is right."
The Author brings conviction in my heart with this closing paragraph, he writes;
"If you really think about it, the need to blurt out our feelings is usually motivated by selfishness, not by a desire to enhance the other person's life. We want to know if our feelings are reciprocated, and we can't bear not knowing how the other person feels. This kind of selfishness has the potential not only to destroy the delicate beginnings of a relationship, but it can also make us feel like fools later if our feelings change. You'll never regret the decision to wait to express your feelings."
Well Put. God has given me a comforting conclusion. "Love is patient." If I truly care for this person I'll wait for him. And later on he'll desire me if it's in His divine plan.
Pray for Me
Memo
