 "I can't believe you're single," is something that I've heard a couple times this week. It's spoken with the same kind of extroverted contemplation of a shopper inspecting a clearance priced item- for defects and scratches.Lol. Albeit still flattering! The problem is... and remains; I'm not exactly for sale. I've become more of a floor model. A floor model for all christian men, sometimes it seems. And the merchandised items, I'm told- are quite out of stock. "Where are all the good christian men hiding?" "All the good men of G-d are taken already!" You know the story. At least once a week I either hear this spoken, or I read of it blogged somewhere. As if we've all become exasperated that with our morning coffee and paper- there isn't a fresh list of eligible men or women-tailored to our most intimate characterizations of "our perfect mate;" delivered anew each day. I cannot answer with any authority where to find these- oft fabled Good Christian men of mystery. Heck I can't even answer where you could find me, if you're looking. Since I'm not lost, how is it that I need to be found? But I digress. I'm not entirely sure here, but I think part of the answer lies in the fact that I am today more representative of the shopped for item, rather than the shopper these days. If women come looking for me- and find me, it is they who have sought out something that they believe they might like. If not, they likely wouldn't be in the market perusing my department, right? I remember, as I'm sure most all men do, when I first started to flirt with women. It tries you're courage to say the least! lol. "What should I say?" "Will she reject me, and cast me into the depths of eternal embarrassment?" Lol. Then there was the... ...once they show a little interest...how fast do I progress things? How much pressure do I put on her to move towards the next emotional step in our relationship? I think men and women can both relate here. It's kind of a rat-race of wit, heart, and guts. But when I came to the realization some years back that I could only truly be happy in a relationship in which I am yoked together with a woman of extraordinary faith, things changed drastically. I was no longer nervous around women, because I no longer wanted anything they, by themselves, could give me. I want what is G-d's will. And what is His good pleasure to give me. Having a robe of salvation- that was bought at such an awesome price...we are men and women of Christ. "Thou shalt love thy God with all your heart, your soul, and mind." Having put on the new man, I am found and not lost. And how can I sell what is not mine to give?? I put great trust in the value He see's in my heart, mind and soul. His Word tells me so. Yes, I'm more of a floor model who is not for sale. I've already been bought and paid for. To whom (may) my Father gives my heart to- should be more His business than my own. It's no longer simply mine to give. "I can't believe you're single?" Well, I guess in actuality I'm not. And that makes all the difference. A three cord bond... GB, sabrefire Copyright © 2008 MAS |

Your post reminds me of one I did back when I was still ForEwe. It struck me that we've become a society of 'dating consumerism'. The link is: Dating and Consumerism......... and it that post I quoted a young man, by permission, who'd put into words basically what I was thinking. nathan colquhoun, says: (check him out with his name at the dottie c o m. Dating and Consumerism November 13th, 2006 | I’ve been talking to my friends a lot about dating lately. Many of my friends are married already, and some are engaged and then there are the few that are still in the dating process. For those of you that don’t know, the dating process is when you are looking for a mate. You weigh out the pros and cons. You make sure they fit your personality. You make sure that they fit into your dreams. You make sure that you like them and that you can see it working in the end. Most of us went through this process, and so its not to debunk the process, but after going through it, being hurt by it and just at the tail end of it, I think the process is a small sign of how our culture as infested itself into all aspects of life. Dating is not much more than consumerism of people. Basically it is just looking for the best possible deal. If it breaks or goes wrong you can always take it back and get a new one. You see how the product best matches your needs. You need something that can laugh at your jokes, take care of you when your sick, satisfy you sexually and of course we all want something that is smart. We check out the different stores of school, church and work and we find out what is available. Sometimes we test out the product in the store never really committing to buying it. Much of dating has been reduced to how we feel. We want to be around those that make us feel great and we usually would choose those who make us feel the best. I'm not sure what a good alternative is to this, but I do know that dating the way it is now doesn't make that much sense. It is self-focused and consumerisitc. At least in pre-arranged marriages you were forced to learn to love someone, something that happens anyway in dating but we think its easier for some reason when we pick someone based on looks and personality types. There is no trick in pre-arranged marriages, you realize that the person in front of you is the one you will spend the rest of your life with, when you like it or when you don't and you need to learn to love them. Dating gives the false impression that you can leave and come back at your own will. It makes us think that the relationship is for us and making us happy. It makes us think that our love for someone is based on some sort of criteria that we have made up ahead of time. So what happens when they fail to pass the criteria in the future? With dating, like pre-arranged marriages, you still need to come to the decision that you will love the person no matter what, even if everything you discovered in the dating trial ends up being different or changes in the future. You aren't choosing to love a package of options that you have decided upon, you are choosing to love a human being and they change, get better and get worse. Dating is not like test driving a new car. I'm not even sure what analogy to use to describe it but we need to get out of our consumerisitc approach to absolutely everything we do. Love is different. I'm not sure how yet, I’m very new at this, but I know its different. I know that the check list that Rachel passed when we first met isn't going to hold in five years and I know that all the things that Rachel loves about me may come and go over time and some new things will come up and vice versa. Love isn't like dating. Love is permanent, love is a choice and the checklist doesn't exist, so why should it exist in dating? Is it because we want to marry the person that is going to make it the easiest to love them? So where do we go from here? Today I also found another blog by Mike and Lisa Law entitled: Should we be concerned about Consumer Dating? They say, in part, that... Let me offer you three reasons why I think we should be concerned about the consumer dating culture. 1. We should be concerned about the consumer dating culture because people are unnecessarily hurt. Now, one must always recognize that people are bound to have their feelings hurt with regard to relationships. Let me be clear, that's not what I am talking about. I am talking about men and women being unnecessarily emotionally wounded. I can say will pretty full confidence that this will always occur when intimacy, whether physical or emotional, precedes commitment. Why will this almost always occur? Well, precisely because "test driving" cares not primarily for another but for oneself, and this leads us to a second concern. 2. We should be concerned about the consumer dating culture because it is a poor model. Does anyone want that to be the prominent way that our culture operates? A concern for oneself rather than other? I don't think that any of us want that, but modeling, whether intentional or unintentional, inevitably leads to imitation. Are you surprised that our culture is marked by this type of consumer dating? I'm not. It was modeled in the years before us and so it is imitated and perpetuated in our culture today, and this leads us to yet a deeper concern. 3. We should be concerned about the consumer dating culture because it reflects a deeper problem, self-centeredness. I think that this is the underlying problem, not just with the American culture of dating, but with the way that everyone in this world instinctively operates. Everyone naturally wants to be the captain of their domain. The guardian and keeper of their own lives. We are all continually obsessed with the way our life is going and what external forces will effect its current or hopeful trajectory. And what does this reflect? Well I think that it reflects our desire to be served rather than to serve.

Hey sabre, It is that very commitment you have just written about that inspires the question. Your a good man and faithful to God you serve. May He soon bring you your Sarah, Rebekah, or Rachel and may He guard your heart and keep you from the Delilah's, who's deceptive charm and vain beauty would quench the flame that burns bright in you!! God Bless You!! Grace, like water, always flows downward, to the lowest place. Amazing Grace!!

My nephew, Praise the Lord you understand this now and now After marrying the wrong person. You have just said one of the most important things that can be said. It took me six years to pray this through for myself. As you have said...the ONLY one for you is the one the LORD has created especially for you....so why worry with anyone else. HIS gifts are so far beyond anything you could ask or think...trust me...I finally found my Man of G-d!(nyman3 I prayed for 6 years!!!! Wow...if we give everything about ourselves to the Lord...life is as HE has designed it to be....AMAZING!

Heya Hellen...good stuff, I'm pickin up what yer puttin down! It's so bizarre what dating has evolved into these days, isnt it?

I'll take 1 of the two, any day over them both GB and I hope your recovery has been well with you dear! sabrefire I told her from now on when a guy tells me I'm beautiful and we should go out sometime... I'm gonna say great! This is where I'll be hanging out with my friends and we'll be there this sunday night. If you feel like hanging out cool I'll see you there! I'm serious- from now on if someone wants to get to know me they are going to be my friend first and do it the right way or forget it! Honestly it helps to be celibate and I have found that's a handy thing to tell guys... it makes them curious at first and then it takes most of them out of the running. It's sort of a tool I use in my process of elimination. I'm not being mean or anything... just honest and guys should be able to appreciate that. Someday getting to know me will actually mean something to some lucky guy who has a clue... I know I can be terrible but this is a woman who has been stood up one too many times. It's a good thing I have friends who love me anyway and will sing with me and help me laugh it off- but for real no more dates- I'm done with it! God's love reaches all- growing means thinking outside the box... love one another

This is cool... I just bought a devotional called "Everyday Blessings" by Max Lucado and this is actually what it says for today July 25th: The Lord God is like a sun and a sheild; the Lord gives us kindness and honor. Psalm 84:11 "Rejections are like speed bumps on the road. They come with the journey... You can't keep people from rejecting you, but you can keep rejections from enraging you. How? By letting God's acceptance compensate for their rejection. When others reject you, let God accept you. He is not frowning. He is not mad. He sings over you. Take a long drink from His limitless love." The funny thing is that I actually bought this little book right before I was supposed to meet the guy who stood me up on that date... I think God is really speaking to me through this and trying to get and keep my attention so I will continue to trust Him with this... thanks God... I needed that- I love you! -Sky God's love reaches all- growing means thinking outside the box... love one another

"I can't believe you're single," is something that I've heard a couple times this week. It's spoken with the same kind of extroverted contemplation of a shopper inspecting a clearance priced item- for defects and scratches.Lol. Albeit still flattering! That made me laugh! I hear that quite a bit too, it always makes me turn my head and say "Huh?" I can totally identify with what you're saying: We are not our own, we were bought at a price. This post makes me think back to a revelation I had just last year. God's love is enough to sustain me for the rest of my life, and I must put him above all else. Should God grant me a lifemate thats great and if not thats okay too. God loves me more than any guy ever could. My friends will marvel at me with confusion asking, "Why did you turn him down?! He was cute!" They find it strange that I say I don't need a boyfriend and that I'm not, as you would put it, "shopping" for the perfect guy. Seriously, your analogy was freakin' hilarious God Bless!

GoblinQueen Really though that's a tremendous attitude to have about your life and walk. It is entirely true that no guy will ever love you as much as He does. I did a blog about this a few months back too, its kind of a bitter pill for some people to swallow I think. If we are told to Love the Lord with our whole heart, mind and soul...there's an element of Love sickness that no person can ever fill in this life. I think it was the clearance item analogy that spawned my whole post. I'd heard the "I can't believe your single" line the night before, and that's immediately what came to my mind...lol. I amused myself with it...so, I'm glad I could share some of my amusing inner dialogue with you. I've noticed the "prettier" the girl, the more she dislikes being turned down. So if this is true for both sexes...you steer clear of those "cute guys." Lol. (Worst advice ever?) Gb and glad yer single!  sabrefire

SKY!!! I JUST HEARD THIS SONG AND WAS SING'N ALONG WITH IT!!! That's amazing! Wow! It's amazing how the Lord leads you to instances such as these...just to let you know He's there...watching, and keeping! I love this song. GB and thanks! sabrefire I really do believe God has a lighter side and He has fun and delights in sharing this with His children as most fathers do... sort of with a wink and a smile- God is awesome and even in the little things He never ceases to amaze me! God's love reaches all- growing means thinking outside the box... love one another

LoL... that's sooo cool! Things like this have happened to me before and it just encourages me to stay sensitive... it's almost like God is giving a reassuring hug letting us know 'every-tings gonna be alright.' I really do believe God has a lighter side and He has fun and delights in sharing this with His children as most fathers do... sort of with a wink and a smile- God is awesome and even in the little things He never ceases to amaze me!
