for the sake of those who do not know, my wrong relationship with someone back in my old days (haha!) led me to a deeper and more intimate relationship with Christ. i guess we all have that. the reason(s) why you get tired of the ways and patterns of the world that makes you want to change, to be different and be better. well, that's the version of my story. i've tasted how the world offers love and i don't want a sip of it anymore.
since i received the Lord Jesus in my life, one of the greatest conviction of mine is to never go back to the old ways (ofcourse, that should be the mind set of all christians) which means to kiss dating goodbye (oh i love josh harris!) and to wait patiently and prayerfully for the right guy :)
i've been single for 2 years and it's still going to be a long journey. before i had that 'kiss dating goodbye and waiting for the right guy' conviction, i really went through a lot of reading, and podcast, and short films, and devotions, and prayers until i told myself that it is indeed worth waiting, and im going to wait whatever it takes because the next guy who i'm going to say "i love you too" with also waited for me and fought the urge of his masculinity.
i know many people find it hard to believe that a person like me can actually hold on to such conviction. you see, i cry over romantic movies and tv shows and memorize remarkable lines. so, how can a hopeless-romantic person like me can actually put dating out of priority. i can testify that there were actually times that i too doubted this conviction i have. thoughts like 'how sure are you that there's actually a guy out there who cares about that belief you have?' 'you're waiting here, fighting for purity and holiness without even knowing when will that guy come along or if he will ever come' crossed my mind.
****you may think na ang bata ko pa para isipin ang mga to, and yes its true that im too young to even think about stuffs like this, i'm seventeen for God's sake but my environment and my generation is telling me that im old enough to engage myself to romanic relationships and not to mention my social status (no bragging inetentions) - the people i know and my friends' way of thinking is faaaar advance (i dont call it mature)and it is pressurig me!*****
then after watching this video presentation (i hope you guys watched it) i realized that there are guys out there who actually believe in my stand; there are actually guys of my age who live in the same kind of world i live in, feel the same pressure i experience and yet value their relationship with God and view dating in a Godly perspective. now i know it's worth fighting - this purity, passion, holiness, dignity, modesty, the big V thing is worth fighting :D
P.S.
no offenses ment to all my christian guy friends, i know you guys are having a wonderful walk with God and i honor you for that...but, i hope you get what i mean. haha!
