My favorite lines: 
1.”So men, grow up! Put down the controller, how about you lead her with grace instead of trying to control her. 
2.”So for the singles, become friends first before you ever become lovers. Pursue Jesus as your foundation, before you get under the cover.”
3.”A strong friendship before marriage will make a good marriage after.”
4.”Marriage isn’t just sex, it is conversation and laughter.”
5.”You might share a checkbook or a house, but are you actually friends?”
6.”If marriage isn’t a commitment, then what is the point of the vows we say?”
7.”Till death do us part, really means till the feeling goes away.”
8.”It is not the love that sustains the promise, it is the promise that sustains the love.”
9.”When you trust in me, you no longer have to hide.”
10.”You are spotless, you’re blameless, there’s no sin in you.”
All of it basically haha!

This is what we do: we go out with someone, we get excited about them, and then they do something that mildly disappoints us. Then they keep doing a lot more things that disappoint us. Then we go into hyper-excuse mode for weeks or possibly months, because the last thing we want to think is that this great man that we are so excited about is in the process of turning into a creep. We try to come up with some excuses for why they’re behaving that way, any explanation, no matter how ridiculous than the one explanation that’s the truth: He is just not that into me.

Guys, if you were to get up the nerve to get close to a truly good woman, you would discover this surprising truth. Don’t let a girl’s maturity run you off. Welcome it. That is the very kind of woman you need for a life partner. Find a woman who loves the Lord, loves life, and will love you. And when you find her, pursue her. Don’t be passive. Make the call. When you find a woman who loves the Lord and makes your heart beat faster, it’s time to be a man and get with the program

After my trip to Haiti, I started dating a really great guy. Our relationship didn’t last long because I think we have different priorities in our lives at the moment , and we would have been fools to prolong the relationship any further.

  1. He was very intelligent, good looking, and fun to be around. BUT he didn’t like Jesus. I LOVE Jesus! This is huge for me. I always see myself with a guy who can help me grow closer to Jesus. A guy I can pray with. A guy who will pick me up on Sunday morning to go to church. A guy who will read the bible with me. I couldn’t do any of the above with him.
  2. I am very compassionate about the less fortunate, and money to me is nothing, literally. I want to live a very simple life. I want to do missionary work. I want to use my background and life story to raise funds for nonprofit organization. I have always told myself that when God will bless me with a lot more money than necessary, most of it is going to the less fortunate. Money is very important to him and he wasn’t planning to share any with the poor as much as I wanted and will want to later on in life.
  3. We both would like to travel, but I want to travel and do missions in the third world countries and he would like to visit all the beautiful countries and have houses in many of them. 
  4. And the list goes on and on!

It was very hard for us to be in a relationship with each other when we know that we had different lifestyles and different values and goals. It hurts a whole awful lot to not have him around because I liked him so much, and I still care about him. But, I prayed and God answered my prayers. With time and with Jesus’help, I should be healed. Until then I am enjoying my life loving God, caring for the poor, and pursuing my goals and dreams :)
