I'm pretty sure I'm about to get myself unlinked from the Roger blog for not posting in a timely manner....
Fear not, I am alive and doing well. I finished pedi and general surgery in the prison, and now I'm in Houston doing plastic surgery at the VA, which I love. I am finally catching up to my domestic friends in the sewing department (hey flesh counts, right?).
Ok so the real reason for this post.
This lady.
I mean seriously, how is it possible to be convicted all the stinkin' time through a BLOG? Heather, you're killin' me!
But seriously, I love it. I love being challenged with the truth and letting the Lord teach me through this wonderful, crazy woman.
Lately Heather has been talking about dating on her blog again. Now honestly, I kind of hate talking about this topic, but I feel like it is something we so desperately need to talk about. The way we approach dating, even as Christians, is terrible. We focus on ourselves, our wants, and our needs, take our eyes off of Christ, and end up with wounded hearts, broken friendships, bitterness, and anger.
This isn't the way it's supposed to be.
I honestly think so much of this is because we are selfish, stubborn people. We want to find the perfect person for us. The one who will fulfill our every want and need, and make our lives wonderful. Do you see the problem here? What is wrong with us?
When are we going to figure out that life is not about us? I find that I am the most discontent with being single when I am focused on myself. When all I think about is how unfair it is that all of my friends are married except me, and how I deserve to be loved and adored, and how the Lord should give me a husband. Selfish lies.
So what do we do? How do we honor the Lord through the dating? What does that even look like?
I have no idea.
All I know is that we need to do things differently.
If you haven't done the Hendrick dating worksheet, you need to. Be warned now, it will make re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about dating. It will challenge you and frustrate you, but it is so good. The comments on each page are filled with wisdom from amazing men and women, both married and single.
So go do the worksheet!
Let's ask the Lord to change our stubborn hearts and show us His will for us.
Ready go!

i nearly vomited when you called some place you've worked at as a "sewing department" in relation to FLESH.
