mixed motives for service?

Added a post May 15

Rachel wrote: "However, when it comes to "mixed motives" I'd say that running away or even a hardline pause and evaluation period may not be necessary. If you think that you might be called to a ministry and there is relationship-potential involved then rejoice in God's timing and accept it as icing on the cake. I think that the question to ask is "would I participate in this ministry regardless of this guy's presence?" If so, go for it. If not, re-evaluate." Hear, hear! That's an excellent answer. :) I wholeheartedly agree. You really hit the nail on the head Rachel--kudos. :) Reply »

Broken Engagements

Added a post May 6

You poor girls. :*( My heart breaks for both of you and for other women who have had their emotions and feelings--their hearts, really--trampled like that by guys. I don't know the guy's situations, but it sounds like they were letting their feelings lead them rather than their heads. Meaning, they broke off the engagement because they "felt" like it wasn't the right time, person, etc. instead of thoroughly thinking things through. In love, I believe that it's a mixture of feelings and rationale. Love is not devoid of all feeling, but people shouldn't get married on a mere whim without thinking about the gravity of responsibility that comes with it. It sounds like these guys have learned to equate love with "feelings" of love...which is dangerous since our feelings change day in and day out. Love...TRUE love is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13--it's much more than feeling. Real love is all about action. "Love is patient. Love is kind. Love....etc." True love makes it through the ups and downs of confusing feelings because there is real and true commitment involved. It realizes that it is committed to the other person, despite how one feels. My parents taught me this. They have been married for almost 39 years and always talk about commitment to one another. I think that that is what has held them together for so long--loving the good in the other person and loving them still through the bad and the unlovely. For instance, what if you blow up in anger one day? (I'm sure us girls are all accustomed to this once in a while...once a month...JK!) lol :D Your husband--your true love husband--will love you through those nasty times as well as the times when you're at your sweetest. :) I know that it's difficult to want to trust guys because you've been hurt so many times...It might be helpful in the future, to look at the fruit in his life before you get engaged again. See if he is living life by his feelings alone or if he truly thinks things through. See if he's more... Reply »

I love Disneyland! :)

I love black and white photography too! :)

You know, I started finding these little hearts left all over the place...

My family thinks that it means that I'm going to get married soon....

I believe that I will get married, but I also know that these little hearts are signs of God's Love for me, because I asked Him....

I've been finding these little hearts ever since. I don't go looking for them, they more or less just stumble across my path and lift my spirits with good cheer for the day. :)

Playing with Color!

Real color! :)

"Ever Ever After" :)

Posted by Alicia on March 18th, 2008 at 12:13am

This Valentine's Day has been different than other Valentine's Days. I think because rather than giving into the sad feelings of being single that tried to creep up me several times today, I instead focused on what God is going to do in my life one day when He brings my spouse to me. Whenever I saw two lovers walking arm in arm, rather than getting all mopey like I usually do, I instead imagined that that would be me and my own husband someday (because that is a part of the plan that I believe that God has for my life).

I purchased the soundtrack to the movie Enchanted (one of my fave movies--it's such a "me" movie, lol). I especially liked the lyrics to one of the songs by Carrie Underwood called, "Ever Ever After."

I hope that you will all be as blessed as I was when I read the lyrics--to not be afraid to dream about marriage because I believe that God puts that beautiful desire into each of our hearts.

Enjoy,

Alicia

"EVER EVER AFTER" (Record version)

By: Carrie Underwood

Ever ever after...

Storybook endings

Fairy tales coming true

Deep down inside

We want to believe they still do.

In our secretest heart

It's our favorite part of the story.

Let's just admit

We all want to make it to

Ever ever after.

If we just don't get in our own way

Ever ever

It may only be a wish away...

Start a new fashion

Wear your heart on your sleeve.

Sometimes you reach what's realest

By making believe.

Unafriad, unashamed,

There is joy to be claimed in this world.

You even might wind up

Being glad to be you.

Ever ever after

Though the world will tell you

It's not smart.

Ever ever after

The world can be yours

If you let your heart

Believe in ever after....

And no wonder your heart

Feels it's flying

Your head feels it's spinning.

Each happy ending's

A brand new beginning.

Let yourself be enchanted

You just might break through

To ever ever after.

Forever could even start today.

Ever ever after

Maybe it's just one wish away.

Your ever ever after

(I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss)

Forever ever after."

The time is coming soon for each of you! :)

I read this verse that greatly encouraged me and I wanted to share the verse with all of you. It spoke to me deeply and resonated in my heart about looking to the Lord expectantly for all that He is going to do as far as Christian marriage goes and His working out the situation for me to meet my future husband one day. I'm not sure if it's out of context or not, but it spoke to me about my singleness situation and I hope that it will speak to you all too.

Okay, so to the verse! :)

It's Habakkuk 2:3 (NCV). It says:

"It is not yet time for the message to come true, but that time is coming soon;
the message will come true.
It may seem like a long time, but be patient and wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not be delayed."

Be blessed! :)

I saw this on youtube the other day and it had me crying like a baby! :) The people have titled it, "The World's Best Proposal"--it's sooo cute! (Especially both of their reactions after she says yes). And what better place than in front of the Castle at Disneyland! After I found this video, I saved it as one of my favorites because it's soo darn cute!!

Enjoy!

Mr Right? What Does He Look Like?

Posted by Alicia on February 9th, 2008 at 12:34am

I was really encouraged by this article that I read in a Today's Christian Woman magazine from the year 2000. It was written by Stephen Arterburn about what "Mr. Right" looks like. It is some really good advice. :) I read the list almost every single day. :) I list it here for educational/learning purposes and to encourage you.

Be blessed!

--Alicia :)

WHAT DOES "MR. RIGHT" LOOK LIKE?

HE'S RESPONSIBLE. He'll want to provide for you and protect you in a healthy way. If he's irresponsible with time, money, talent or work, he'll be the same way or even more so in marriage.

HE CAN DELAY GRATIFICATION. He'l be able to wait for sex. He'll be able to save rather than spend. See if he has the strength to delay something that feels good now for something that will feel better later.

HE COMMUNICATES. You deserve a man who can talk to you. If communication's not there from the beginning, it probably won't ever be. Mr. Right needs to know how to talk.

HE HAS SUPPORTIVE FRIENDS. Be sure your Mr. Right has friends who can help him--and friends whom he can help. A red flag is a man who has no friends and no desire to connect with others, or whose friends are unsavory.

HE HAS A PURPOSE. He needs to have a life goal that goes beyond having a lot of money or a fishing boat or making it to retirement. Ask him why God created him and how his purpose relates to God.

HE'S KIND AND COMFORTABLE WITH WOMEN. It's astonishing to see how kind Jesus was to women. Is your Mr. Right the same?

HE PRAYS. Make sure he seeks God regularly. If he's not a man of prayer, there's little chance he'll grow in his relationship with God.

HE'S INTERESTED IN GOD'S WORD. If your man seems uncomfortable attending Bible studies or reading God's Word, it may mean spiritual intimacy will not be part of your marriage.

HE'S CHILD-FRIENDLY. Know that he's as committed to raising great kids as you are. If children are in your future, make sure Mr. Right knows how to love them.

HE HAS INTEGRITY. Integrity and character go hand-in-hand. Can you trust what he says and that he'll follow through on what he intends to do?

HE LOVES. Be sure your Mr. Right is like Jesus--that he truly knows how to love you and meet your needs, that his love leads him to serve you and lay down his life for you. Now that's a real Mr. Right!

-----------------------------------

Wow, isn't that super-cool? I love the guideline that he gives about finding a man of integrity, character and good, upright living. Sweet beans. ;)

It's good to discuss those kinds of things in a constructive way. I have a few other ideas for topics to discuss too. I'm not much of a writer though. I'm a science major and I work in a bank. English was never my strong suite. Hopefully, people were able to learn from others posts and put it into practice. Happy Easter.

I hope you're having a good week and that you had a relaxing Saturday! I sure did, it was fabulous. I got my Food Network fill and then hung out with Tammy all day--it was wonderful!

Do you have special plans for Easter? I don't really have plans, but I'm really trying to live this week like Jesus lived His last 7 days. I'm reaping the rewards from it already!

I'll put some recipes up for you tonight when I get home--you're working on casseroles, huh? Hmmm...I'll have to think about that one.

Have a great day! :)

Well speaking of Food Network, I was majorly lazy this morning (my Saturday morning) and watched Food Network for 3 hours straight!! I think I was deprived and needed to get my fill! I watched everything and loved it all (except for Sandra Lee). My absolute favorites, though, are the classics: Tyler, Giada, Rachel sometimes (if I'm in the mood) Paula, and the shows Unwrapped, Ace of Cakes, and FN Challenge. I don't care much for Alton Brown anymore, I met him once... I'm pretty bored with his show but you can learn a LOT from him. I also met Emeril, Rocco DeSpirito, and Mario Batali! There was a new guy on today, Danny Boome--I like him a lot, but we'll see how he does.
I'm so glad you're working on your cooking skills--what do you like to make? I love cooking pastas and making dessert most of all. What do you want to know?? I can help you out! :)
