hehe... when i started reading this book [a post-birthday gift from aj... thanks by the way...] medyo parang di ko siya ganun na nagustuhan... kasi medyo maigsi yung chapters tapos parang ha? yun na yun..? parang di masyadong naexplain yung first chapters.. nung medyo half-way done na ko.. hehe [at may lapis na kaya nakakapag-highlight na..hehehehe at sinisipag magpost]...
medyo naappreciate ko tong chapters na to eh..hehehe
read on na lang... ; ))
sabi niya dito...
"I learned that the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able honestly to pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy will be done. Acceptance of whatever that means is the great victory of faith that overcomes the world."
hehe.. medyo di ako nagcocomment na sa book ko eh.. heheh ngayon lang medyo hindi..hehe

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him. If I can say yes to that question, can't I say yes to pleasing Him? Can't I say yes even if it means a sacrifice? A little quiet reflection will remind me that yes to God always leads in the end to joy.
If the yearnings went away, what would we have to offer up to the Lord? Aren't they give to us to offer? It is the control of passion, not its eradication that is needed. How would we learn to submit to the authority of Christ if we had nothing to submit?
... it is good for a man not to touch a woman... it is a good thing for a man to have nothing to do with women; but because there is so much immorality, let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
... he [paul] never said, "Let each man have his own relationship"
oo nga.. after 50 years of meditating that line.. it dawned on me na kaya pala.. kaya pala... ganto...
My father counseled his four sons never to say "I love you" to a woman until they were ready to follow immediately with "Will you marry me?" Nor should they think of saying "Will you marry me?" unless they had first said "I love you." [hehe was just reminded again.. for the 4th time.. i've heard different versions of this.. first from te weng, a friend told her... next from kuya josh.. and next kay tita pearl.. tita pearl told me halos gantong-ganto..hehe yung sa unang dalawa not to say i love you lang eh.. kasi... read on... ] How much pain and confusion would be averted if men followed that rule. [understood...?]
yung iba next time na lang..hehehehe
