I KISSED DATING GOODBYE (EXCERPTS) PART 2
1) Friendship is about something other than the two people, something other than the two friends being together. The key to friendship is a common goal or object on which both companions focus. As soon as the two people involved focus on the relationship (intimacy), it has moved beyond friendship.
2) Include others (i.e. friends, family, or strangers) instead of isolating yourselves with just one person.
3) Seek opportunities to serve, not to be entertained.
Early stages of Attraction
In the early stages of attraction, when you have a difficult time remaining clearheaded, , think of an imaginary dialogue; something like this:
Q: What's you relationship to this woman?
A: She's a sister in Christ whom I'm instructed to treat with absolute purity.
Q: Exactly! She's not just a pretty face or a potential wife!
A: No, she's a child of God. God has a plan for her. He's shaping her and molding her into something special.
Q: So, what is your responsibility to her?
A: My responsibility is to make sure I don't get in the way of what God is doing. I should encourage her to keep her focus and dependence on God.
Q: Okay, good. Now to whom is your second responsibility?
A: My second responsibility is to the people around me.
Q: Why do you have to care what they think?
A: Because I have a responsibility to keep the unity of the group, to model the love of Jesus to outsiders, and to set an example for other believers.
Q: And your primary responsibility is to God. Correct?
A: Exactly. I am responsible to keep my way pure, serve others as Christ did, and love my neighbor as myself.

I KISSED DATING GOODBYE (excerpts part 1)
I don't know if its healing from his physical wounds or emotional but unfortunately I wasn't able to get a copy.
I saw the book again during a book fair in the office and I almost bought one but my emotional exhaustion prevents me from doing so, I got tired of self help books .
But when I read the excerpts I was convinced to grab a copy as soon as I visit my fave book store.
====================================================================
Seven habits of highly defective dating
1) Dating leads to intimacy, but not necessarily to commitment.2) Dating tends to skip the 'friendship' stage of a relationship.
3) Dating often mistakes a physical relationship for love.
4) Dating often isolates a couple from other vital relationships.
5) Dating distracts young adults from their primary responsibility of preparing for the future.
6) Dating can cause discontentment with God's gift of singleness.
7) Dating creates an artificial environment for evaluating someone's character.
Unless a man is prepared to ask a woman to be his wife, what right has he to claim her exclusive attention? Unless she has been asked to marry him, why would a sensible woman promise any man her exclusive attention?
============================================================================
Very profound questions right? I am very happy that they still publish books like this.
More to come ...

THE ART OF LETTING GO
"The Art Of Letting Go"
Put away the pictures.
Put away the memories.
I put over and over
Through my tears
I've held them till I'm blind
They kept my hope alive
As if somehow that I'd keep you here
Once you believed in a love forever more?
How do you leave it in a drawer?
Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning,
Learning the art of letting go.
Try to say it's over
Say the word goodbye.
But each time it catches in my throat
Your still here in me
And I can't set you free
So I hold on to what I wanted most
Maybe someday we'll be friend's forever more
Wish I could open up that door
Now here it comes, the hardest part of all
Unchain my heart that's holding on
How do I start to live my life alone?
Guess I'm just learning,
Learning the art of letting go
Watching us fade
What can I do?
But try to make it through
the pain of one more day
Without you
Where do I start, to live my life alone?
I guess I'm learning, only learning,
Learning the art of letting go.
Now I know why I refused to be attached emotionally not just to a person but to mostly everything.
I am a failure when it comes to letting go I tend to wallow in sorrow.
But I believe it's part of growing up. It's not going to be easy but the road to healing will be worth it and will make me a better person.
GOD is always with me... with us his children.
GOD BLESS...

Last Chance......
This is my only chance to do all I can do
To let you know that what I feel for you is real
This is the last chance for us
This is the moment that I just cannot let end
Before I know that theres a chance were more than friends
So dont let go, dont let go
Make it last all night
This is my last chance to make you mine
I kept my feelings so deep
I kept my dreams of you and me somewhere inside
Although I prayed that you would see it in my eyes
But this is my last chance to say
Whats in my heart before you stay out of my life
And then youll understand the way I feel inside
So hold me close cause it feels so right
This is my last chance to make it mine
Make this dream reality
So close and yet so far
Gotta find a way into your heart
Gotta speak my mind
Gotta open up to you this time
I cant let you slip away tonight
This is my last dance iwth you
This is my only chance to do all I can do
To let you know that what I feel for you is so real
So dont let go
Just make it last all night long
This is my last chance to make you mine, yeah
To make you mine
My last chance has gone and yet I still don't have you.
Heart wounded, mind puzzled, soul exhausted. May you find your peace.
I love you.

BUSY DAYS...
My work hours will stretch to 12 hours.
It will be beneficial for me because it will take my mind off every thing. In 3 months hopefully the money in my piggy bank will be enough to support my goals.
The number 3 has been very significant in my life.
