josh's mom taught him two rules of grocery shopping. yes, we're that close. =p
i'd like to share my thoughts on the first rule in relation to dating. when you want someone too much, there is a tendency that you'll compromise your convictions and standards. you'd be swamped with regrets later when you finally realize your mistake, wondering why a so-and-so guy actually looked good. vulnerability clouds judgment...
one assumption when someone goes shopping is that he can afford to do so. i think it should be explicitly stated since people become intimate with others only to realize that we either could not afford to or are not willing to commit yet. my discipler was right. i blamed myself for my mistakes. but he also has a part in it no matter how many times he washes his hands. God is gracious to me. i shouldn't listen to the enemy's accusations. i am now basking in the freedom of forgiveness.

First, never shop when you're hungry--everything will look good and you'll spend too much money. And second, make sure to pick a good cart.he related the second one with relationships. basically, some of the girls he dated were considered as bad carts. the direction they had in mind did not coincide with his. the term he used was a battle of wills. besides wasting time and energy arguing with a person, they couldn't possibly glorify God together in that relationship if they don't share the idea that they should.
