On Matters of the Heart

So, people have got me thinking about love lately. It could be that it's valentines day, or that the people I live with or all dating, Adam's blog on relationships, or any number of other things. But it has got me thinking about it a lot.

I've been in two relationships. They were both fabulous at the time, but ended terribly. I think this is because I lost sight of God and his plans for me in those relationships, but that's a good lesson learned.

So I was thinking about it right before Christmas, and I wrote myself a dating covenant. A little "contract" if you will between God and myself, outlining the things I want to keep my mind on. I'd forgotten about it until this morning, and when I went back and read it again...well it cleared up a lot of issues in my mind. I am so glad I wrote it honestly at a time when there wasn't anything distracting me from how I know I want to spend my life.

I guess the point of this, is to encourage you to do the same. It's important to know what you are looking for, know what you are willing to sacrifice, and remember how God asks us to live our lives. If you are interested in reading my covenant, I would be fine with that. Just send me an email or something so I can send it too you, I'm not going to post it here for the whole world to read.

So yes, that is my mini, not very in depth thoughts on love.....


Intertwined
are two hearts
together
they make one soul
separate in body
but together in Christ
living
to meet the ultimate goal.
