Like, your perspective on relationships and marriage and if you believe in a one true love. I have been forming more friendships with guys than I have before and now that I am in a new place in Christ, I wanted to hear advice from other girls who may be going through the same thing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847343602704469697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326041191684355559.post-14037504577403589672013-09-06T20:23:41.617-05:002013-09-06T20:23:41.617-05:00The thoughts still keep coming.

Sex within a marriage can be just as impure as it can be outside of marriage.Jim Habeggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320817826382769445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326041191684355559.post-22042706973170026032013-09-06T18:53:37.959-05:002013-09-06T18:53:37.959-05:00Sorry, I keep seeing more that I want to comment o...Sorry, I keep seeing more that I want to comment on.<br /><br />You wrote:<br /><br />"His plan for my singleness has never been only to "wait for marriage," but to refine and transform my relationship with Him until I am madly in love with my Creator and satisfied by Him alone."<br /><br />Yes.<br /><br />Yes.<br /><br />Yes.Jim Habeggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320817826382769445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326041191684355559.post-48076811960160994842013-09-06T18:48:51.095-05:002013-09-06T18:48:51.095-05:00Recommended reading: "Love is a Story" b...Recommended reading: "Love is a Story" by Robert SternbergJim Habeggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320817826382769445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326041191684355559.post-37659495184438987992013-09-06T18:45:55.635-05:002013-09-06T18:45:55.635-05:00I see a lot of grief in the world today arising ou...I see a lot of grief in the world today arising out of what I see as modern superstitions about love, marriage, romance and sex, but I haven't found any way to help free anyone from those superstitions, and I've pretty much lost any hope of learning to. I'll pray about it and see if I get any new ideas. I've thought a lot about the power of stories, but I'm having trouble learning to tell stories, too. I'll pray about that too.<br /><br />Besides all that, I'm supposed to be taking a break from the Internet.<br /><br />I like this post very much. I remember noticing what you're saying about waiting, in college and in the Air Force. I had friends who were just drifting aimlessly in their lives, waiting to finish college, or waiting to get out of the Air Force, before even trying to do whatever they wanted to do with their lives. Later I saw people waiting until they had more money, or a better job, or any number of things. The temptation will always be there, to wait until you reach the next horizon before you start doing whatever you think you eventually want to do with your life. Just like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.Jim Habeggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320817826382769445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326041191684355559.post-52037435129373840822013-09-06T18:33:14.885-05:002013-09-06T18:33:14.885-05:00Long ago and far away, I decided I wanted to learn...Long ago and far away, I decided I wanted to learn to have a pure heart. I was in high school or college, I'm not sure which. When I wanted to learn something, I had a habit of finding a book about it and trying to learn from the book. I went to the library and searched through the card catalog. That was before everything was computerized.<br /><br />I saw this title: "Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing."<br /><br />I didn't check out the book. I didn't even look at it. The title told me everything I wanted to know.<br /><br />I focused on purity for most of my life, until a few years ago. Now I'm struggling to learn meekness and kindness, not because I've mastered purity, but because I just felt called to focus more now on those.Jim Habeggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320817826382769445noreply@blogger.com
