God is Faithful in our Singleness

http://sheppsnsk.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sad-man.jpg Today I was driving home from a date that I had with my fiancee with the tears in my eyes.  It's been not even four months that we are officially dating from a time when she said yes.  The tears that filled my eyes were not the tear of happiness or satisfaction that I am dating this beautiful gorgeous godly loving girl.  But a tears of guild and shame for the conclusions that I came when I was still single. I was remembering my single life, the moments when I was in my deepest pain, thinking that there would be little chance for me to love someone and be loved by someone.  I am twenty six now, and most of my friends are married.  I've gain new friends (to my advantage) but their are five to six year younger by me, but still friends—I was able to develop a good and solid biblical relationship with them.  But still, I was different then they.  What I mean is that I was older, and that puts me in a spotlight for a dis

Lead me in the way Everlasting

O L ORD , you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O L ORD , you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's wom

Me and Ira

Finished "Knowing God" with Ira

I finally finished the book that we are reading ("Knowing God" by J.I. Packer) with Ira.  This has been an amazing journey, a little over a month of reading, but it's worth it.  I guess it's harder to read a book with someone because you are dealing with two schedules instead of one.  But still the conversations between us are unforgettable and enjoyable. Why I suggest this should be the book that others should read as they start the relationship.  Most of the time when there is someone dating, they take the dating books that talking about marriage, and which is good.  But don't pay that much attention on their faith, what they believe about God.  It's one thing that a guy would be telling a girl what he believes, and with that, uses the bible to prove his point.  But it's totally different when a professor, pastor, and a good influential respected Christian speak about the truth that are just too essential for our daily lives.  Too many people are worri
