I'm reading my sister's blog right now and new thoughts have entered my mind. She has told me not to follow in her footsteps before. I'm sure she knows what she's doing may not be right. I've also thought about it.
What are MY expectations for my spouse? The main one: He has to be a Christian. Will that really happen? I mean, if I come across a guy I really like later....and he's not a Christian what will I do? This used to be my sister's expectations of the guy she likes too, but when she met Jason, it was totally different. I'm starting to wonder if that will ever happen to me. How will I react when I find someone who I really like and then find out that he's not a Christian -- or in fact, a Christian, but only on the "outside"?
After finishing up her blogs, I thought back to my relationship with Geoffrey. Was I really not ready for it? Did I only act according to what was happening? It's true that I don't regret anything that happened....but now that I think back, I really wasn't ready for a relationship. Maybe that's why God didn't let it go on.
Back on track. Yes. I don't wanna follow in my beloved sister's footsteps, but what will I do if the same thing happens to me? Recently, a lot of things that happened to her with my mom has been happening to me. We basically have the exact same upbringing. My brother on the other hand, is just like my mom and follows EXACTLY in her footsteps. He tells her everything on his mind -- or tries to. My sister and I are on a total different level with my mom than he is and ever will be.
Although I'm just like my sister, I still don't wanna follow in her footsteps for my future. I love her dearly, but it's just not my dream to follow her. As for now, I know that this is true -but will it be in the future?

Hmm.... I think this passage fits the questions in the 2nd paragraph: 1 Corinthians 7:12 - 16
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, foot steps are something that Jesus left. Follow those ones. Actually.. Reading all of 1 Corinthians 7 is good for us.
God has things He's planning. Whether we get married, have kids or not is up to him. Wait for him... He'll provide. Don't search or look for a spouse. When the right one comes you'll know. But don't let yourself be clouded by secular thoughts when doing so. Otherwise you might misinterpret it.
