<p style="text-align: left;">[ <a href="http://www.sloppynoodle.com/wp/sacred-romance-discovering-what-true-love-really-is/" target="_self">Read article in English</a> ]</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Eu li hoje nos jornais como Paris Hilton e seu namorado Benji Madden terminaram seu relacionamento. Hilton disse que ama ele, e mais &#8220;ele e um homem maravilhoso e ele e meu melhor amigo ele tem sido muito bom e leal. Nos sempre seremos muito proximos. Vamos ver o que  acontece no futuro.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ela culpou o fato de ambos terem agendas cheias: &#8220;Nos tomamos essa decisao juntos como dois adultos,&#8221; ela disse. &#8221; nos estamos agora somente dando um tempo.&#8221; Tao triste, eu pensei! Como e desvalorizado e conveniente e o ideal de amor e romance nos dias de hoje.</p>
<p>O que vem a sua mente quando eu digo as palavras:&#8221; Verdadeiro amor&#8221;?</p>
<p>E muito bom passar o tempo com outra pessoa? O ritmo acelerado do seu coracao quando voce olha dentro dos lindos olhos da pessoa amada? O sentimento que alguem tem um valor importante para voce?</p>
<p>A verdade nao e nada disso sobre o verdadeiro amor. Deixe levar voce a uma jornada de descoberta, aprofundando em um sagrado romance, e descobrindo o que o verdadeiro amor realmente e. Respire fundo e reflita nas palavras desse artigo, porque nisso se encontra o poder de salvar o seu futuro casamento, &#8211; mesmo antes de começar o namoro!</p>
<p><strong>Meus Pais</strong></p>
<p>Eu gosto de passar tempo construtivo com meus pais. Para estar com eles e poder respirar um ar fresco em um ensipido mundo. Eles gostam um do outro, &#8211; nao como Romeo e Julieta, mas eu algo maior, em uma forma mais significativa&#8230; Eles mostram e demostram o que e o verdadeiro amor.</p>
<p>Ainda vivendo em casa, a maioria dos sabados a noite eu fico com meus pais em casa para um dos destaques da semana, &#8211; o que e um passeio para um refeicao noturna no Nandos, -  peri peri restaurante de frangos ( restaurante muito famoso na Englaterra )&#8230; tao distante eu sei, -  E o melhor restaurante de frangos do planeta.</p>
<p>O tempero peri peri pode ser dosado em no frango em em tres variacoes: &#8220;medio&#8221;, &#8220;apimentado&#8221; e &#8220;muito apimentado&#8221; , &#8211; mas nada disso pode ser comparado ao amor dos meus pais.</p>
<p>Talvez voce esteja pensado, Oh! isso e tao romantico&#8230; semi fast food restaurante que vende saboroso frango. Nao tem velas nas mesas, o ambiente e de muito barulho e o ceu azul estrelado tem uma larga espessura de gesso entristecido entre nos e ele.</p>
<p>A verdade e: o verdadeiro amor nao e relativo a uma ambiente que nos estamos, mas estabelecido o ambiente que nos escolhemos fazer.</p>
<p><strong>Um coracao de entrega</strong></p>
<p>Minha mae ama suco de cenoura e desde de que Nandos nao vende suco de cenoura, meu pai cria um ambiente de &#8220;amor&#8221;  e por muitas vezes ele sai do restaurante para ir a um mercado proximo para comprar suco de cenoura e trazer para o restaurante onde estamos. Minha mae embeleza esse ambiente de &#8220;amor&#8221; segurando as maos dele, conversando amavelmente e desmostrando que ele tem valor.</p>
<p>E triste e inadequado como pessoas assume o verdadeiro amor como algo que eles desejam encontrar um dia. O verdadeiro amor nao e algo para sair pelo mundo procurando encontrar. Nao e encontrado nos encontramos a &#8220;perfeita&#8221; e compativel alma gemea. Essa pessoa nao existe!</p>
<p>Na verdade o verdadeiro amor e algo significa a sua auto entrega a uma outra imperfeita pessoa e isso faz com que haja crescimento.</p>
<p><strong>Estabelecendo a nossa vida para criar o verdadeiro amor</strong></p>
<p>Verdadeiro amor é o que estabelece a nossa própria vida o &#8216;eu&#8217;, &#8216;único&#8217; e &#8216;independênte&#8217;. Podemos, então, prender-se a outra pessoa a quem nós escolhemos para amar.</p>
<p>Jesus demostrou o verdadeiro amor entregando sua vida em favor de nos.</p>
<p>&#8220;Por tudo isto os homens saberão que sois meus discípulos, se você ama um outro.&#8221; (Joao 13:35)</p>
<p>&#8220;Este é o meu mandamento:  Amai uns aos outros na mesma maneira que eu vos amei. Não há maior amor do que para entregar sua vida em favor dos outros. &#8220;(João 15:12-13)</p>
<p>Meu pai ama verdadeiramente minha mae e ele vao para o ultimo nivel, apenas comprar os presentes que ele sabe que ela ama &#8211; como suco de cenoura ou roma. Ela respeita e valoriza ele. muitas vezes entregando de sua propria vida para estar la com ele quando ele precisar, para lhe preparar um jantar, passar as camisas dele. Ela levantara bem cedo para preparar um suco fresco para toda a familia.</p>
<p>Essa acoes sao tipicas do verdadeiro amor: colocar voce mesmo em favor de outro, para sacrificar os seus desejos e conforto pelo o outro, e construir uma &#8220;vida&#8221; juntos.</p>
<p>Eu perdi a conta de quantos namoros e casamentos eu vi passando por problemas, &#8211; e muitas vezes fracassando. Tristemente a razao e porque pessoas preciosas nao entendem o que e necessario para que o relacionamento funcione bem, isso requer que duas pessoas entrenguem individualmente suas proprias vidas e trabalhem como um time &#8211; por uma razao: A gloria de Deus!</p>
<p>Ficamos tao abituados aos previlegios de uma vida de solteiro, quando Deus quer que movemos para uma proximo estagio em nossas vidas com nossa alma gemea, talvez nos podemos chutar ou gritar sobre isso. Talvez nos podemos apreciar a neve no inverno tanto como uma linda primavera esta vindo, se sentindo quente e claustrofobico.</p>
<p>Meu pai e minha mae sao meus heroes. Juntos ele tem uma vida &#8211; para servir a Deus junto e ver as pessoas serem transformadas atraves do poder de Jesus. Eles trabalham como uma equipe por um ideal. Alguma coisa ou alguem que tira eles dessa visao de equipe e deixado para traz para que esse segrado romance continue.</p>
<p>Eles sao perfeitos? Nao! Eles cometem erros como todos nos&#8230; mas eles sabem que eles precisam manter o foco e construindo em Cristo, o relacionamento deles e a familia atravez do poder de Jesus.</p>
<p>Eles tiveram que tomar grandes decisoes para manter esse sagrado romance vivo. As vezes viajando para outro lugar, fujindo de amizades perigosas, ou deixando de lado grandes oportunidades pessoais, &#8211; qualquer coisa que levasse ao limite dentro desse sagrado romance precisou ser minimizado.</p>
<p><strong>Tempos dificeis promovem grandes oportunidades do verdadeiro amor prosperar</strong></p>
<p>O verdadeiro amor nao faz com que a vida seja facil e bela como um botao de rosa, De fato isso vai ser visto nas mais dificies circunstancias. Meus pais tem dez filhos sem a propria consederacao de gastos. A vida foi dificil algum tempo na pequena propriedade de cinco acres onde tinhamos animais domesticos, vacas e galinhas, e algumas vezes muito pouco dinheiro.</p>
<p>Quando meus pais se conheceram, minha mae sacrificou ela propria para vir a ser uma enfermeira para o meu pai. E depois ela se tornou professora. Depois meu pai  deixou um dos grandes sonhos de sua vida por ela.</p>
<p>Eles viveram em muitos paises e se eu contasse algumas das experiencias que eles tiveram, voce iria se maravilhar como eles ainda estao juntos, em amor, envolvindos um ao outro, e Deus.</p>
<p>Em tempos dificeis, muitas vezes pessoas nao concondam. Sempre permitem que seus proprios desejos dominem e o amor verdadeiro desaparece.    Quando eles são críticos em relação uns aos outros, o relacionamento começa a murchar.    Somente quando sacrificar seus próprios desejos e falar o melhor de cada, que este romance sagrado pode realmente prosperar.</p>
<p><strong>Sacrificando nossa propria vida para encontrar a &#8220;alma&#8221; na alma gemea</strong></p>
<p>Quantos namoros/ relacionamentos que voce conhece que e totalmente egoista?</p>
<p>E comum para nos procuramos pela pessoa de nossos sonhos e ira varrer nossos pes.</p>
<p>Em vez disso, quando nos mesmo varremos os pes de outra pessoa o que poderia ser nos mesmos experienciamos o verdadeiro amor. Quando uma pessoa faz tudo para varrer os peus dos outros, eles ficam exaustos, quando duas pessoas trabalham como uma equipe escolhendo varrer os pes um do outro o esforco e a pura felicidade!</p>
<p>Quantos casamentos voce conhece os dois decidem abandonar os proprios desejos em favor do outro? E penso se nos verdadeiramente conhecessemos e vivessemos o amor de Deus, nos nao veriamos tantos divorcios e rompimentos.</p>
<p>O verdadeiro amor e somente encontrado somente quando aprendemos verdadeiramente entregar. Deixando nossas vidas de lado em favor daqueles que dizemos que amamos. Para aquele que ainda nao se casaram, &#8211; cabe a nos aprender como o verdadeiro amor com nossos amigos, familia e alma gemea, &#8211; e isso vai salvar o seu futuro casamento &#8211; antes mesmo de comecar o namoro.</p>
<p><strong>Jesus nos mostrou como fazer isso</strong></p>
<p>Se nos somos verdadeiros cristaos, nos vamos entregar nossas velhas vidas totalmente rendidos por Cristo em seu poder. Somente quande sermos nada&#8230; e ele ser todas as coisas, o poder de uma vida crista pode ser experienciada.</p>
<p>Paulo compara o relacionamente de Cristo e cristaos ao esposo e a esposa. um esposo deve sacrificar, dando toda a sua vida por sua esposa &#8211; como fez Jesus, diz Paulo.</p>
<p>Eu sinto muito triste por muitos rapazes e mocas que ve esse verdadeiro amor como um &#8220;controle&#8221;. Ao inves disso Deus direciona para o sagrado romance, completando o relacionamento que Jesus mesmo demostrou para nos.</p>
<p>Deus quer dar para nos o melhor dos relacionamentos com nossa alma gemea que sera um  grande casamento&#8230; mas cabe a nos fazer com que isso aconteca!</p>
<p>E idiota dizer que estaremos deixando a independecia e a vida de solteiro depois que casarmos!</p>
<p>A verdade e: casar nao muda muito o relacionamento, &#8211; apenas a liberdade para ter intima relacao fisica.</p>
<p>Se nos estamos em um serio namoro, nos deveriamos estar treinando nos mesmo a estar vivendo como &#8220;um&#8221; para a gloria de Deus &#8211; a frente do tempo.</p>
<p><strong>Entregando nossa vida a Jesus permitindo nos a sacrificar nossa propria vida para a alma gemea que ele da a nos</strong></p>
<p>Nos nao podemos entregar nossas propria vidas para nossa alma gemea ate que nos venhamos para o fim de nos mesmos. E comecar a jornada e tomar a decisao de deixar nossa propria vida e encontrar em Cristo.</p>
<p>Seja inspirado hoje a entregar a sua propria vida, e independencia a Deus&#8230; &#8211; e somente entao poderemos deixar nossas vidas em favor daqueles que ele colocou em nossas vidas!</p>
<p>Pare de tentar encontrar a pessoa certa e ao invez disso seja pessoa certa. Se duas pessoas tentam encontrar a pessoa certa, &#8211; eles podem passar toda a vida procurando por uma pessoa que nao existe.</p>
<p>Se duas pessoas trabalham para ser a pessoa certa, que e a auto entrega, e vai durar para toda a vida quando entao encontra sua &#8220;imperfeita&#8221; alma gemea</p>
<p><em>O amor não é amor<br />
O que altera quando se ve alteração,<br />
Ou curvas com o removedor para eliminar:<br />
Ó não! é uma marca cada vez fixo<br />
Isso parece tempestades e nunca é abalado;<br />
É a estrela de cada maravilhoso latido,<br />
Cujo valor é desconhecido, embora sua altura ser tomadas.<br />
Amor nao e perda de tempo, embora corderosa lábios e bochechas<br />
Dentro de sua flexão foice da bússola vir:<br />
Amor não modifica com sua breve horas e semanas,<br />
Mas assume que, mesmo à beira da desgraça.<br />
Se este erro e ser baseada em me provou,<br />
Eu nunca escrevi, nem nenhum homem jamais amou.</em><br />
- William Shakespeare</p>
<p><em>Love is not love<br />
Which alters when it alteration finds,<br />
Or bends with the remover to remove:<br />
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark<br />
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;<br />
It is the star to every wandering bark,<br />
Whose worth&#8217;s unknown, although his height be taken.<br />
Love&#8217;s not Time&#8217;s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks<br />
Within his bending sickle&#8217;s compass come:<br />
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,<br />
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.<br />
If this be error and upon me proved,<br />
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.</em><br />
- William Shakespeare</p>

<p>I read today on the news how Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Benji Madden had separated. Hilton said that she loves him, and added, &#8220;He&#8217;s such an amazing man and he&#8217;s my best friend and he&#8217;s been so great to me and so loyal. We&#8217;ll always be very close. We&#8217;ll see what happens in the future.&#8221;</p>
<p>She blamed their busy schedules: &#8220;This was a decision we made together as two adults,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Right now we are just taking a break.&#8221; How sad, I thought! How cheap and convenient the ideal of love and romance is in this day and age.</p>
<p>What comes to your mind when I say the words: &#8220;True Love&#8221;?</p>
<p>Is it enjoying spending time with another person? The flutter of the heart when you gaze into your sweethearts beautiful eyes? A feeling that somebody is valuable or important to you?</p>
<p>The truth is that none of the above are true love. Let me take you on a journey of discovery, delving into a Sacred Romance, and discovering what true love really is. Breathe deeply the words of this article, because within them lie the power to save your future marriage, &#8211; even before you begin dating!</p>
<p><strong>My Parents</strong></p>
<p>I love spending quality time with my parents. To be with them with them is often like a breath of fresh air in a stale world. They love each other, &#8211; not as Romeo and Juliet, but in a much greater, more meaningful way&#8230; They show and demonstrate what love truly is.</p>
<p>Still living at home, most Saturday nights I join my parents for one of the highlights of our weekend, &#8211; that trip for an evening meal to Nandos, &#8211; a Peri-Peri chicken restaurant&#8230; and as far as I know, &#8211; the best chicken restaurant on the planet.</p>
<p>The Peri-Peri sauce can be doused on your chicken in three spicy variations: &#8216;medium&#8217;, &#8216;hot&#8217; and &#8216;extra hot&#8217;, &#8211; yet none of these flavours can compare to the love of my parents.</p>
<p>You are probably thinking, oh, how romantic&#8230; an evening with candlelight&#8230; soft music playing in the background&#8230; star-lit sky&#8230;</p>
<p>None of the above&#8230; Nandos is a busy, semi-fast food restaurant that sells tasty chicken. There are no candle lit tables, the atmosphere is loud, and the starlit sky usually has a thick bandage of &#8216;overcast&#8217; between us and it!</p>
<p>The truth is: love and romance is not reliant on the atmosphere that we are in, but instead the atmosphere we choose to make.</p>
<p><strong>A Giving Heart</strong></p>
<p>My mom loves carrot juice and since Nandos doesn&#8217;t sell carrot juice, my dad creates the &#8216;love&#8217; atmosphere by occasionally disappearing to a nearby restaurant to buy some carrot juice and bringing it back to the restaurant we were in. My mom embellishes this &#8216;love&#8217; atmosphere by holding his hand, conversing lovingly and showing him value.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a sad misnomer that people assume true love is something they will one day find. True love is not something to go out into the world and search for. It is not found we meet our &#8216;perfectly&#8217; compatible soul mate. That person does not exist!</p>
<p>Instead true love is something we give of our self and plant into another imperfect persons life to grow.</p>
<p><strong>Laying Down our Life for One Another Creates True Love</strong></p>
<p>True love is laying down our own life of &#8216;self&#8217;, &#8216;singleness&#8217; and &#8216;independance&#8217;. We can then gift it to another person whom we &#8216;choose&#8217; to love.</p>
<p>Jesus showed us what true love was by laying down His life for us.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.&#8221; (John 13:35)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. <strong>There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.</strong>&#8221; (John 15:12-13)</p>
<p>My dad truly loves my mom and will go to the endth degree, just to buy her a gift he knows she loves &#8211; like carrot or pomegranate juice. She respects and values him, often giving up her own single life and wants to be there for him, to cook Him dinner, to iron His shirts. She will wake up early in the morning to make a smoothie for him and the family.</p>
<p>These are the actions of true love: To put one&#8217;s self out for another, to sacrifice our own wants and comforts for another, and to build &#8216;one&#8217; life together.</p>
<p>I have lost count of the many dating and marriage relationships I have seen suffer, &#8211; and even fall apart. Sadly the main reason is because precious people do not realise that in order for a relationship to work, it requires two people selflessly giving up their previously single lives to become one team &#8211; for one reason: The glory of God!</p>
<p>We get so used to our single &#8216;fringe benefits&#8217; life, that when God wants to move us on to another season of our lives with our one soul mate, we may kick and scream about it. We may enjoy the snow of winter so much that when beautiful spring comes along, it feels hot and claustrophobic.</p>
<p>My mom and dad are my heroes. Together they have one aim in life &#8211; to serve God together and see people transformed through the power of Jesus. They work as a team toward this goal. Anything or any person that drives them away from this team vision must be left behind for this sacred romance to continue.</p>
<p>Are they perfect? No! They mess up like all of us&#8230; but they know they need to focus on building up others in Christ, their own relationship, and their family through the power of Jesus.</p>
<p>They have had to make enormous decisions to keep this sacred romance alive. Whether it be travelling to another country, withdrawing from dangerous friends, or turning down amazing personal opportunities, &#8211; anything that drove a wedge into their sacred romance needed to be minimized.</p>
<p><strong>Hard times provide an opportunities for true love to thrive!</strong></p>
<p>True love does not require life to be easy-going in order to blossom. In fact, it will blossom in the most difficult circumstances. My parents had ten kids without fully considering the cost. Life was difficult at times on the small five acre plot of land where we had pet cows, chickens, and at times, very little money.</p>
<p>When my parents met, my mom sacrificed her aim of becoming a nurse for my father. She became a teacher instead. Later in life my dad gave up one of his life-long dreams for her.</p>
<p>They have lived in multiple countries and if I told you some of the harrowing experiences they have endured, you might wonder how on earth they are still together, in love, committed to each other, and God.</p>
<p>In difficult times, people don&#8217;t always agree. Whenever they allow their own wants or desires to dominate, true love disapears. When they are critical of each other, the relationship starts to wither. It is only when they sacrifice their own wants and speak the best of each other that this sacred romance can really thrive.</p>
<p><strong>Sacrificing our own life to find the &#8216;Soul&#8217; in Soul mate</strong></p>
<p>How many dating/courting relationships do you know that are totally selfless?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s common for us to search for that person of our dreams who will sweep us off our feet.</p>
<p>Instead it is when &#8216;we&#8217; selflessly sweep that &#8216;other&#8217; person off their feet that we can &#8216;ourselves&#8217; experience true love. When one person does all the sweeping off their feet, they get exhausted. When two people work as one team choosing to sweep each other off their feet, it is effortless and sheer bliss!</p>
<p>How many marriages do you know where both people choose to lay down their own wants for their mate? I think if we truly knew and acted out God&#8217;s selfless love, we wouldn&#8217;t have so many divorces and breakups.</p>
<p>True love is only to be found when we learn to truly give, to lay our lives down for those we say we love. For those of us that are unmarried, &#8211; it is up to us now to learn how to truly love selflessly with our friends, family and soul mate, &#8211; and in turn save our future marriage &#8211; before we even start courting!</p>
<p><strong>Jesus showed us how to do it!</strong></p>
<p>If we are truly Christian&#8217;s, we will give up our old lives and totally surrender them to live for Christ in His power. Only when we become nothing&#8230; and He becomes everything, can the power of the Christian life be experienced.</p>
<p>Paul likens the relationship of Christ and Christians to a husband and wife. A husband should sacrifice, give his all for his wife &#8211; just like Jesus, Paul says.</p>
<p>A wife in turn should submit to the Godly leadership of her husband, being cared for, giving up her own independence &#8211; just like Christian&#8217;s should give their all for Jesus.</p>
<p>I feel so sorry for the many guys and girls who see this true love as &#8216;control&#8217;. Instead its Gods way to a sacred romance, a fulfilling relationship that Jesus himself demonstrated to us.</p>
<p>God wants to give us the most amazing relationships with our soul mate that lead to a great marriage&#8230; but it is up to us to be willing to make it happen!</p>
<p>It is foolish to say we will only give up our independence and single life after we get married!</p>
<p>The truth is: Getting married doesn&#8217;t change much in a relationship, &#8211; other than the ability to have physical intimacy.</p>
<p>If we are in a serious dating relationship, we should be training ourselves to live as &#8216;one&#8217; team for God&#8217;s glory &#8211; ahead of time.</p>
<p><strong>Surrendering our Life to Jesus allows us to Sacrifice our Life for the Soul Mate He gives to us</strong></p>
<p>We cannot give up our own selfish single lives for a soul mate until we truly come to the end of ourselves. The start of the journey is to make the decision to lose our life and find it in Christ.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be inspired today to selflessly surrender our own single, independent lives to God&#8230; &#8211; and only <em>then</em> we can selflessly lay our lives down for those that he puts in our life!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s stop trying to <em>find</em> the right match and instead <em>be</em> the right match. If two people try to find the right match, &#8211; they can go through their whole lifetime searching for the perfect person who doesn&#8217;t exist.</p>
<p>If two people work to be the right match, that&#8217;s selfless, giving, &#8211; and it will last a lifetime when they find their &#8216;imperfect&#8217; soul mate.</p>
<p><em>Love is not love<br />
Which alters when it alteration finds,<br />
Or bends with the remover to remove:<br />
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark<br />
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;<br />
It is the star to every wandering bark,<br />
Whose worth&#8217;s unknown, although his height be taken.<br />
Love&#8217;s not Time&#8217;s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks<br />
Within his bending sickle&#8217;s compass come:<br />
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,<br />
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.<br />
If this be error and upon me proved,<br />
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.</em><br />
- William Shakespeare</p>

Big mistake. I accepted Christ on my own and didn&#8217;t really know much at all, so I went back to my old life of just being whatever. In college, my whole life changed accurately for the most part. Representation was everywhere about different religions. I look at Muslims and they made it clear they were Muslim, I look at Buddhist and they made it clear about their religion, I look at my fellow Christians and I didn&#8217;t see it so clear. Many said they are Christians but if you were to talk into my class, you would hear swearing, sex talk (uncensored), talking guys&#8217; bodies, girls&#8217; bodies&#8230;etc. IT WAS CRAZY!!! I felt so convicted at the moment because I had to serious asked myself, CAN THEY SEE GOD IN ME? Can you ask yourself that? I had to change just about everything about me. Thank to God alone that can only happen because I was seriously depressed at the moment with the thought. If you look at 28:19-20, it talks about the great commission and what was left for us to do. Can you see God in me? Can you hear him in my voice? Am I living the Godly life? Is it the God in me? Or even check out 1 Peter 2:12. It is really powerful when you think about. Sometimes going and talking about God is embarrassing but you have to ask yourself, do you want others to have the same experience as you? I remembered, in high school, I was ashamed to talk about God and tell it to my friends. I was afraid they would laugh at me or even ditch me. But I thought to myself, I don&#8217;t care. I LOVE GOD. I lost a lot of friends but I gained many sisters and brothers and everyday we help each other. We endure so much from non-believers but we say, we love you and help them still. Crazy right? No, not at all. I love God and I want others to experience a relationship with him as well. My roommate and I decided not to go to bars and parties that are worldly. Why? Have you seen all the liquor, grinding, drinking and so much more? Why go there and get labeled as a party- goer? I don’t want that title.<span> </span>So far, we have seen many fights outside of our windows, many girls walking like drunks, and with guys, I am pretty sure they don’t know. I didn’t want that. I prayed when I saw a girl like that a prayed that she got home safely, or didn’t get raped that night. I prayed for those who fought because it might seem funny then, but losing a life nice is a killer. Are you getting my picture? Do you want to represent God like that? Ask yourself this question. Life isn’t always going to be easy. Not on earth. But with God in your life, He will protect you , heal you from pain, give strength, courage, and knowledge unreachable to any non-believer. Read his word, I can tell you from experience; it has been a wow experience. I love you guys.</p>
