Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilightseries.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.♥ Or better yet, date a girl who writes.

GOD’S PLAN IN FINDING YOUR MATE



                   Lord, I am about to be ready to commit myself to someone I fell in love with. Could I take him now? I have prayed for him for quite a time now.

                 But the Lord answered. No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by me alone. You need to give yourself totally unreserved to me because in me your satisfaction is to be found. And when you learn to commit yourself to me alone then, only then is the right time for you to be capable of perfect human relationship that I have planned for you long you thought at it.

      You will never be united with another until you are united with me. You will never learn to speak and understand the true language of love until you hear me speak it. You will never learn how it is to love and be loved until you feel the tender touch of my LOVE.

I want you to stop planning. Stop wishing and allow me to step in and

give you the most surprising and exciting plan that you can imagine.

You are my child. I want you to have the best. Please allow me to bring it to you. Fix your eyes on me and expect the greatest things as you watch.

Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM. Learn all the things I

tell you and be patient. Just wait. Don’t be anxious. Do not worry.

Don’t look around and feel at the things others may have got. Yours

will be different because I LOVE YOU.

Don’t look at things you think you want. They may not be the things I
want for you. Look up straight at me because you might miss what I want to show you. And then, when you’re ready. I’ll surprise you with a lover far more wonderful than what you would ever dream of. But I won’t let you have it until you are ready and the one I prepared for you is ready, until you are both satisfied exclusively with me and the LIFE I have prepared for you.


 God bless you^_^

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Psalms 30:5)”

 I always gives to God those things that weighing me down. Because as a christian , I must remove my weighty desires, distractions, goal and my sins.
My focus must be in Jesus. He's already faced unspeakable trials and he knows how to hupomeno.(to endure,to preserve: under misfortunes and trials to hold fast to one's faith in Christ)


♥♥♥Jesus is the best focus we can have !! Lay aside every sin and weigh and set our eyes on him. Whatever the adversity, He will help us to endure^_^!!!

God bless you.

Jesus is the light of life...

                I'd like to be a bearer of light to those people around me. No matter how small ,flickering or humble my light.. the darkness cannot overcome it. Surely, others will find themselves drawn to the light experiencing relief and gratitude that they too can finally see Jesus♥♥♥

                My heart was moved acknowledging that the only remedy for a dark world is the Light of Jesus. It would have been pointless for me to show anger or bitterness to those people who doesn't treat me good. Their behavior had been prompted by the evil one who had spiritually darkened their hearts and eyes.. so instead of askin' why people behaved so wrongly, my question became: How am i reflecting God's light to them?!

      ♥♥♥ I know the happiest person on earth is a righteous person. Righteousness is not a cod liver oil we have to swallow. Righteousness is shedding all of  the things that make us miserable and embracing fully the path God has laid out that leads to peace, joy, and fulfillment.
     ♥♥♥ I am loving , humble , giving person filled with peace and joy that's why I am one of the happiest persons in this world^_^
                                        *Righteousness leads to joy*
