THOUGHT: With plans that far surpass our knowledge, we can only trust what He's trying to tell us.So .. question that's been on the mind is: should we do it and knowing me, I can't leave my future undecided and uncertain. So this afternoon there's been a lot of soul searching. Here's the thought process:
I decided to look at the pros and cons
Pro:- love
- it won't be a sin anymore
-love
- the
one
- no insecurities regarding cheating/flirting
- dress and suit is ready
Con:- parents could find out
- school/OSAP could find out = what happens?
- have to lie to many people
But then I realized, the only pro I need is love and knowing that he's the one and whether that one thing is worth the cons .. so that kinda got me no where.
But in the same minute I also realized that none of that matters. It's not about what I get out of it and what I want. It's about
what God wants and here's my list:
- faith = reliance
- repentance from sin
- to challenge our strength
- to test our faith in both each other and in Him
- for us to "do hard things" = stepping out of our comfort zone
My whole life I've always been looking fro the easy way out of things. Never applying myself, never pushing myself. It's only recently that I realized that this isn't what my life's suppose to be like. It's not suppose to be comfortable and a breeze it's suppose to be challenging. That's why I chose Mac and that's why I also think we should wait .. doing it in August would be taking the easy way out. Waiting is the challenge. Waiting's the difficult part ... I thought 4 years was gonna be hard .. but that's nothing compared to your 7 years : P
