A couple of years ago, one of my favorite people in the world-Mark Allen, gave me and Allison the book: "Master, Mission, Mate" by Pastor Ken Graves. I've since read the book, about a Gazillion times, and love it more, everytime I do so. It's a great book to read if you're a Christian single, and sometimes forget WHO you're #1 priority should be. Ken Graves, also does a great job of reminding us how to keep your heart in check, and how to refrain from getting emotionally attached to someone. He includes 4 points that are CRUCIAL to staying level-headed.
Living as though your heart, already belongs to somebody. -Ken Graves
(1)Brother/Sister-Everyone is your sibling until God says something different.
(2)Refrain from any and all romantic expressions of affection: keep your emotions in check. (You ARE promised to someone) No flirting! They ARE your sibling.
(3)Pray for God's will for everyone you meet. You can't go wrong in doing this. You don't want it any other way! You want God's perfect will to be lived out in your life, as well as the life of your future mate, and in the lives of your brothers and sisters. "Praying God's will, reminds you not to seek your own."
(4)Be busy about your Father's business. There's KINGDOM work to be done! Keep yourself occupied with whatever work God would have you do, and WAIT for HIM to bring your mate to you.
I love you guys. <3
