The first is on and about common grounds.. duh.. three different pple[frens] have discussions abt certain issues and a retired seminary professor join them later to be their guide.. it is a good read.. many issues.. such as a christian dating a non-christian.. i know many feel that we christians are being close minded.. i cut and copy this whole conversation from the book.
lauren is a former Catholic corporate attorney.
conversation abt not dating pple who arent't Christians.
Mac Gregor considered this for a moment. "You're right, I did say that, and I'm glad you reminded me. OK. Lauren, those extremist Christians you have mentioned back home in Baton ROuge and at UT, do you really want to date or marry oneof those?"
"Heavens no," exclained Lauren.
"That's right. think about it. There might be really good reasons for you not to marry one of those extremists. Marriage between somebody like you and somebody like that would be complicated and hard, don't you think? You already know this: marriage is hard under the best of circumstances.
"And remember what you said earlier, about being frustrated by these handsome guys who end up not being communicators? You said you wanted to know a guy intimately, and you wanted to be known. That assumes a level of security but also of shared core commitments. DO you really want to know one of those extremists intimately or have one of them know you intimately?"
"No."
"When you think of the guy you marry, don't you want him to be your soul mate? Someone you can commit to be with and he commits to you, and you share life--you do life together."
"Yes, that's exactly whati want."
"Well, if a Christian loves Jesus Christ more than any other person ot thing, if living for Christ is the core of core commitments, wouldn't it stand to reason that that Christian is only going to find the best marriage with someone who loves God just as much? It's about both the man and woman sharing the most important commitment--Christ--even before their commitment to each other. God is not some closed-minded ogre trying to stir up bigotry, but rather his command for Christians to unite their soulds only with other Christians who place Christ above all else is for everyone's benefit. It's smart. It's practical. Does that make sense?"
hmmm.. does it make sense to you? it did... it did.. for me, it such reinforced this knowledge... so for freunde who asked if religion is that and really important when i choose a mate.. it is a resounding 'aber ja!' heheh..

the other is the latter.. the author parts it into 3.. the right place, the right time and the right moves... under each parts.. there are others too.. never mind abt it.. the book makes use of what we know before hand... the story abt God making Adam and Eve.. u think it's simple? it is.. but it's detailed and in depth when u take the story apart and put a magnifying glass to it.. i paraphased..
here it is... who did God created first.. okie.. Adam right? heh.. yes... Adam's task was to work the Garden of Eden and take care of it. *busy busy* "The LORD God said, 'IT is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him'" (Genesis 2:18). God decided that Adam needed a mate not himself. *yada yada* Adam was put into deep sleep. when Adam spet, God went about creating a helper for him, one he knew Adam would like. more yada yada... to main pt.. God maede a woman out from the rib he had taken out from the man, and
he brough her to the man. from here, we see that Eve allows God to present her to Adam and she allowed Adam to recognise her as God's choice and gift.. confession time.. how many of you 'help God'=present herself relentlessly to guys? ok.. i did.. but did anything happen? maybe.. but hang on.. Adam woke up when Eve was finished.. are you ready already? this is just a tiny portion.. and so the book goes on to tell more... go and read it!
darlings... surrender to God.. just do.. u know who u are.. so dun think need to sae ar...

i think i'm more glad than ever that my trip is cancelled, now. did some thinking and all.. when i sms'ed my mummy.. she just replied, 'it's ok, safety first.'.. i wondered if i had been too selfish just wanting to go despite the danger.. at the pt of time when they told us... i was peeved.. i wanted to go no matter wat... but when mummy replied.. 'hey, u have a family here.' went thru my mind.. like reminding me... and i mass messaged alot of closer frens from church, class and 'others'.. ;o) i was looking fer empathy.. haha... cos i had been anticipating for so long! i had some... and i also had some replies from 'older' frens[u noe who u are. thanks!], who weighed it out for me... saying things like, 'there'll be next time', 'safety more important.' 'sayang sayang', and many more.... and also my family.. messaged my mum and bro.. then bro also said next time.. told dad when he came back at night.. he was 'teasing' me.. 'oh, xiao ying bu ke yi qu le.' meaning i cannot go...haaha.. but i think deep down, he's relieved.. many a time, he very worried abt me going overseas.. when i was in australia, mum told me he kept asking why i did not contact them.. haha... i did i did! i messaged and called kays! haha... well.. apart from all that earthly beings... i have my supreme being! few days before the in-charged told us.. i heard, 'i do not want you to go to Laos.'.. i argued.. i reasoned.. i have been yearning to go since year 1 when i knew abt these community services trip.. and u told me i was going to Laos after my interview.. y this? i did not accept the talk at all.. but after knowing.. i was like.. ok, u win.. hahha... so just wanna thank God.. actually, i suddenly got a lot of time... and some things are sorted out.. i can go thru my water baptism next saturday.. b4 changes, i was to fly on the 19th[fridae], meaning i wld have to miss my baptism.. but now.. i can! hallelujah! with time on my hands.. read some books written by Christian authors.. which i have not been doing for ages.. read [common grounds] by Ben Young and Gleen Lucke.. and also [is men are like buses, then how do i catch one?] by Michelle McKinney Hammond.
next post.. heheh
