Boy Meets girl review

I have just finished a book by Joshua Harris called Boy meets girl: say hello to courtship. it is a wonderful book that i enjoyed reading and i don't mind reading it again in the future. I recommend it to all young people in the Lord, those who are single and those who are married as well.

Its a great testimony of a Godly courtship that later led to marriage between the write and his wife. It talks widely of courtships with different endings because of different reasons. It was through this book that i learnt that courtship is always successful, whether it ends in marriage or not because the main idea behind courtship is to see if you can get married to your partner, live with your partner after marriage, just how compatible you are with the person you are courting.

Joshua reveals courtship as another level of friendship, not a sexual indulgence. he defines courtship as "a relationship between a man and a woman who are actively and intensionally together to consider marriage". He continued to explain that courtship draws on the principles and priority of sexual purity. From His definition of Courtship i picked out that courtship is a relationship that which a man and a woman engage in when they have intension of marriage. But these days we see a lot of people especially youth indulging in relationships and calling them courtships but without the intension of marriage thus totally dissolving the true meaning of courtship.

Another thing that caught my attention about Boy meets girl is that Joshua clearly explained that courtship is a relationship that has a very clearly stated purpose of finding out if God will have the courting persons marry. This means there can never be courtship if God is not involved. Any courtship should be guided by Biblical principles and whatever the LORD says at the end should be done, since the whole idea was to hear from him.

There are more things in this book and i highly recommend it for everyone,young old, its useful to everyone. I believe you can get it in any Christian book store near you or even order it online. The author is Joshua Harris.

Me over the years,(2 1/2 years)

i am thankful

I got up and started looking at the photos we took over the years. i came across the pictures of my University family, that is my house mates. These are the people that i have been staying with in this foreign country ever since day 1. We have been through thick and thin, ups and downs but the most important thing is that we went through it all TOGETHER.

I am thankful and grateful for this family that i got here, i could never ask for better house mates because they are simply the best. I thank God i met them and i thank God for keeping us together. This and that tried to separate us, but we were not ready to let go of each other, thats why we still together and our love for each other grows stronger, as we get more comfortable with one another and we learn more of each other's weaknesses. we learn to compromise, appreciate one another, celebrate each other and corporate. We are three different people but we live as one.

They have helped me to grow into a better person, loved me when i needed love, took care of me when i needed to be cared for. i love these guys, they are the BEST!

and their blog names: the guy will be known as Bishop and the lady will be Missy.

Finally i did it!!! Here i am

I have been wanting to blog for such a long time. i didn't know where to begin but i had a lot i wanted to write about. So now i have finally decided i am gonna do it. i am gonna do a blog of my own, keep records of my life, my opinions, my feelings, my relationship with God and my everyday life as well as my growth. And all other interesting things that will pop up in my life.

I have lived for 21 years now (2010) and for these years i have been through a lot of things that testify on their own that Indeed Jesus Christ my redeemer lives. I still live up to this day to witness his mercy and grace in my life. I go through challenges in my life, ad he pulls me through it all, i get to learn lessons from him and i also get to appreciate him more and more every single day. It has been a wonderful thing having Jesus in my life, He molds me, He strengthens me, He believes in me, He saves me, He loves me and He brings out a star in me.

This will be a journey with a daughter of Zion, a non perfect Christian girl who survives by the grace and the mercy of God.

Today, i had Live Group and prayer meeting at Church. it was wonderful, and very refreshing especially during this exam periods. I try by all means to avoid books, yet again i know thats where is should be. i am writing my first paper on Tuesday the 21st, and i am still reading through the material. That is to say i am not yet ready for the exam. I am really tired of these last minutes studying. i NEED a change in my life. i need a permanent change.

1. To do things well in time so as not to be exhausted during exam time.

all i desire to do right now is to relax, watch movies, listen to sermons and just do whatever that will make me relax, but i have to be studying.

2. have a more organised life.

when everything is messed up, stress is creeps in, but when all is organised and done according to the organisation, everything runs smoothly. I wanna adapt that character of Christ, doing everything well in time and doing it with a happy heart. Studying last minute exhausts me and i am definitely not happy right now.

3. Aim for the best not average

Deuteronomy 28-13The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. God never meant for us to be average but to be the best in all we do. I refuse to just seat around and resort to being average. i know i got the potential to be the best, as long as i do my best, HE will do the rest.

Well, for the first entry, this is enough. but i am embarking on a battle, a fight against averageness and under performance. Philippians 4-13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength. He did it all on the cross of calvary, the victory was won at the Cross. All i gotta do is claim it and live it. Father Lord give me the strength to fight until i see a change in me. Until the is actually a change. Lord i can do all things with you by my side. I am tired of being the same and going around with the same weaknesses, i wanna see change and change for good, not a 2 minutes revival Lord. Thank you Lord in Jesus name. Amen
