Kissing Sanity goodbye....

So, yeah, I think I'm getting over my Texas DR/JH hangover and possibly moving toward some rational thoughts.
Here goes......

I have had some great insights into the whole boy/girl thing that has seriously pervaded our entire household.
For instance, what does the whole "courting vs. dating thing" look like?, I've been asked, and honestly, we don't have a model for it so we are sort of muddling through it and asking questions with every step taken.
We have talked to the parents of the "boy" and they seem to have the same attitude towards this and we seem to be on the same page if things "progress" like we HOPE they won't, but we want to be ready(is that possible???).
UUUHHHHMMMM, I have had numerous conversations with other friends who are walking down this path and, let's just say, we're all wingin' it!!!
We'er wingin' it together.
Seriously, we don't know anybody who did the dating thing right, but we all seem to want to teach our kids a better way, that is, God's way.
And that feels right.
I've read, "I kissed dating goodbye" and my girls have read it and I think we should read it again.
It just feels right to embrace the idea of courtship and begin showing our kids what it can look like and then letting it happen, naturally, of course.
I think I would rather it happen now, while they are under our roof than when they are out and on their own so that we can be part of the process and available to them????
It's funny because a year ago I was saying that boys are NOT going to be part of our family and my girls are NOT doing the dating/even courtship thing until they are out of school!!!!!
And then it happened.
Boy.
Boy happened.
I had to get over it.
Getting over it.



Pray for me.....fervently....
