MISHMASH ROMANCE
"I'd rather wait than to have a Mishmash Romance."
(August 28, 2010)
What is Mishmash Romance? According to Joshua Harris (Boy Meets Girl), "Mishmash Romance is like going out to a fine restaurant with someone who doesn't have the patience to wait for each course of the meal to be served. The master chef has a wonderful plan that takes time to appreciate fully. But instead of enjoying each course individually, your date insists all the courses - the drink, the soup, the salad, the entree, the dessert - be blended together in a bowl of mishmash. Yuck! Instead of savoring the "courses" of an unfolding Love Story - acquaintance, friendship, courtship, engagement, marriage - impatient couples mash the sequence together. Before they've built a friendship, they start playing at love, before they've even thought about commitment, they're acting as though they own each other. Mishmash Romance, like mishmash food, is an unappetizing mess". I know for some people it's hard to understand what JH is trying to refer, but if your eyes and mind are wide enough, you'll understand that God wants us to be happy in all aspects of life. Especially, when it comes to relationship. I remember one of our speakers in Singles for Christ told us that God doesn't want to see us cry, unhappy and lonely. We have to let go off people who caused us tears, unhappiness and making us look like a monster. I know God won't give me the man that I want but the opposite of it. I want to meet an old school man, I know it's hard to find him especially when most of the people around you will say there's no such thing as like that. But no matter what God will give me I'll accept it with open arms. Because he's God's Gift and he won't give me a man who I can't handle. I know God won't give me a perfect man but a God-fearing one. It would be easy for us to avoid mishmash relationship if it wasn't hard for him to find me, make friends with me, court me, marry me, and love me. I love to write and I'm looking forward to write my own Love Story.
PSALM 1:1-6
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinnersor sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
