Hello!Readers.. :)
I'm back..nagustuhan nyo ba yung unang story :) that was really quiet a story :)
I pray na magustuhan din ninyo ang story na to'
In this chapter we'll use one couple's story to illustrate principles that can help you with the how and when and with whom questions of courtship.But more important I pray it reminds you that finding these answers for your life involves a journey of faith that you can't sidestep by reading a book.What you read here can help,but you still have to sweat through these questions in real life.

Again this is not their true names for privacy purposes.

Enjoy Reading :)

When Chealsea Riveral found out that Daniel Ty like her and that he asked her father for permission to pursue a relationship with her,she burst into tears.
They were not happy tears.
Chealsea was upset.Throwing herself down on the couch,she pounded the arm with both fists and yelled hysterically,
"No!No!No! He's messing everything up! I've never thought of him like that. I'm not interested in him! Oh, he's messing it all up!"

Her reaction bewildered her parents. Since Chealsea and Daniel were good friends, they assumed that she would at least consider the possibility of a courtship.
But Chealsea already knew whom she wanted,and it wasn't Daniel. She liked Nathan ------- and Nathan liked her. He too had spoken to her dad,but because Nathan was several years away from being ready for marriage,Mr.Riveral had asked him to wait on a courtship. So even though their relationship was on hold, Chealsea and Nathan knew that they liked each other and were confident about their future together.

In Chealsea's mind, there was no possibility for romance with Daniel. He was her good friend ------- that was all. She'd imagined being married to different guys,but never to Daniel.

He was like a brother. Now she was sure that their friendship has been ruined. Why did he have to do this?
Why did he have to like her?

She didn't even need to pray about it,she told her parents. "Of course it isn't right."

Our True Condition

What if the girl you like responded to your interest like Chealsea did to Daniel's?
What will you do if the wrong guy starts pursuing you?Or the right guy doesn't?

The question of when and with whom we pursue a relationship ------- or in Chealsea's case,when and whom we allow to pursue us can be confusing and uncomfortable.Most of us would prefer not to face them.Walking by faith isn't our idea of fun. We want the the discomfort and risk removed. Before we make a move we want God to make the situation crystal clear.

Do you see the problem?
Our mindset is: " God,tell me who,tell me how,tell me when ------- and then I'll trust You."
What God wants us to see is that if He did this,our trust wouldn't be real.We want a definitive answer so we won't feel vulnerable,weak, and dependent on Him.

But guess what? We are vulnerable,weak, and dependent on Him.
And its only when we realize our true condition that God can demonstrate His strength and love on our behalf.

At this point I think you'll find the rest of Daniel and Chealsea's story helpful.Your own experience will probably be different from theirs,but as you read about how God worked in their lives,I pray that you'll be encouraged as you see His faithfulness, His creativity, and His impeccable timing.
