Love / Dating - Run as Fast as You Can!

-

This is something I wrote in February of 2014, inspired after seeing a quote and spending time focusing on the Lord and not trying to find a relationship. I wanted to repost it today to kick off February! <3 


Love/Dating - Run as Fast as You Can! #repost


 
I saw this e-card on a girl's Instagram and immediately thought,
"This is the best dating advice I've ever seen!"
 
Someone worthy of your time and [[possibly sharing your life]] will seek God just as diligently and earnestly as you do. If you're seeking God with all your might, you don't need to worry about finding the right person. He/she will be led by Christ to you.
This person will not take your focus off of Christ and His plan for your life. In fact, the right person will foster your growth in the Lord. You will grow in Christ together and help each other, not hinder each other.
 
If this isn't the case in your relationship, you are wasting your time!
 
 
Don't stay with someone who doesn't bring out the best in you most of the time.
 
Don't stay with someone who doesn't have your spiritual health in his/her best interest.
 
Don't stay with someone who isn't avidly seeking God like you are.
 
And ATTENTION GIRLS:
Do NOT stay with the guy that pressures you to be physical.
RUN from that guy. He does not respect you or have your best interest in mind AT ALL.
 
 
If the relationship is God-centered, then it will be healthy.
 
Until that is the case,
run as fast as you can towards God, and if someone keeps up, introduce yourself!!

Our Love Story

  Our Story This is how it goes... For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings. They knew each other, but they didn't really know each other. Beth went to High Point University, and Drew attended North Carolina State University. Years passed and sometimes they would say hey, but were usually too shy to say much else (yes, Beth Burroughs was shy around boys she thought were really cute). Even when they both accompanied the youth group on church camp trips, they didn't say much to each other. After college Drew moved back to High Point to start work and Beth moved to Boone to get her Master's at Appalachian State. The timing wasn't right yet....... When Beth was in her first year teaching at Southwest High School (2015), she sent Drew a Facebook message (ah, the era of social media) asking about apartments because she was looking to move out of her parents' house. She was also looking for the conversat

First #WeddingWednesday Post!

So I've been posting our story on our "The Knot" site. I've been posting in increments since I wanted to include the full story, but haven't had the time to sit down and type the whole thing! Also, I think people would rather read a little at a time... and it keeps everyone on the edge of their seat!! lol This was the first 'installment' I posted: For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings.

Things Unseen

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV) 17  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   18  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,  since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Lately I've been getting weighed down with the issues of the world. Yesterday I read 2 Corinthians 4:8-18 in my daily reading book. In these verses, Paul talks about being pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, and struck down but not destroyed... if you are a follower of Christ. The troubles of the world may weigh on us, but they will not overtake us. As we receive grace and sustenance for each day from God, we should become more thankful, which goes along with what I've been intentional about this week - writing a list of things I'm grateful for and thanking God for them. Focusing on these things will help us to see the world through His eyes. Verses
