When God Writes Your Love Story

There are few books out there that are such a favorite of mine that I actually buy them and read them over and over and over and over again. "When God Writes Your Love Story," by Eric and Leslie Ludy, is one of my all time favorite books. (All of the Ludy books are wonderful, I highly reccomend them.)


Anyways, I wanted to blog a few quotes from the book:





Not without design does God write the music of our lives. Be it ours to learn the tune, and not be dismayed at the "rests." They are not to be slurred over, not to be ommited, not to destroy the melody, not to change the keynote. If we look up, God Himself will beat the time for us. With the eye on Him, we shall strike the next note full and clear. If we sadly say to ourselves, "There is no music in a 'rest,'" let us not forget "there is the making of music in it." The making of music is often a slow and painful process in this life. How patiently God works to teach us! How long He waits for us to learn the lesson!!
~Ruskin


But if a woman is aspiring to become a princess of purity, she must wait patiently for a Christlike knight. And though this kind of man is rare, God is raising up men after His own heart. And that kind of man is worth waiting for.




If our hopes are being disappointed just now, it means that they are being purified. There is nothing noble the human mind has ever hoped for or dreamed of that will not be fulfilled. One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.
~Oswald Chambers


(This quote is actually from Josh Harris's "I kissed dating goodbye" but it's still a favorite quote of mine)

"The guy or girl you will one day marry doesn't need a girlfriend or boyfriend (even though he or she may want one now). What that person really needs is someone mature enough to spend the season before marriage preparing to be a godly wife or husband."
~Joshua Harris

(When annoying people ask me if I have a boyfriend, I like to respond with: "No, I don't need a boyfriend, what I need is someone who is mature enough to spend the season before marriage preparing to be a godly husband." It really shuts them up, and usually the question isn't asked twice!!)
