authentic beauty

I would gaze at the beautiful women in gorgeous flowing gowns waltzing around the ballroom with handsome, chivalrous men. Across the dance floor, standing near the punch table, would be the man i secretly loved. He was the perfect picture of a true gentleman. When the party was over, and i was preparing to leave, he would rush across the room to help me put on my "wrap", then he would offer me his arm and walk me to my carriage. He would politely ask if he might "call on me" sometime, and i would shyly smile, hesitate and nod. The next day, he would call on me. We would sit across the room, shyly sipping our dainty teacup, shyly glancing at one another and talking about the weather. The next few wks n months, our love story would blossom slowly and delicately. I would be cautions not to let him c my inner emotions, until i am absolutely worthy of such a sacred gift.

Such a romantic and extinct story. Modern time romance: Get to know one another, shared everything, hold hands, and become v v open with one another.

I just read a book from LIFE bookshop for young women about Christian romance. I fully agreed with alot of the authors ideas and views. In modern time, we seldom guard our heart. We got tempted very easily too. We believe more in physical love with the influence of movies, books and friends. We became so "ENVIOUS" and yearned for that kind of love, without realising we're sinking into sin. We, referring to young christian women, should remain pure and conservative with our hearts. We should turn away from temptation instead of going through it and THINKING that we can walk through without our life being affected.

We should not TRY to fit Jesus Christ into our life, instead, we should live our life around HIM. TRY means.. example, trying to fit bible reading into daily life, trying to spend some time to pray, trying to go church. Living our life around him means, those things are A PART of our life already. It's within us. We are letting him have control in our life.

I am still on the "trying" phase. Sad and ashamed to admit. I guess... instead of TRYING to find my prince, i should just let my future husband, the Lord, to decide my life. He would plan it in a such a way, that it'll be v romantic. Isn't those kind of slow relationship sweeter? It makes u treasure ya another half even more too. The slow and sweet process. The extinct romance...
