Courtship Analogy

Jen Ig was commenting about courtship on her homeschoolblogger blog - as WE are deep in the throws of putting theory into practice, it caught my attention when she asked for advice or comments about it. 

While reading some of the comments (before I made my own) I came across a REALLY GREAT one by Couriouscat.  The Lord gave her a dream that is an awesome annalogy of being "used" vs. the blessings of keeping oneself pure until marriage.

This is well worth sharing with our own teens.

P.S.  Jen is also a Homesteadblogger.

I had this dream about a week ago... maybe I should write a teen's storybook lol. All around were men shopping for cars, but they were looking at all the used and abandoned ones along the roadside. Millions of used and abandoned cars were along the roads. Some just "driven around the block" and then left, some driven for a long time by one man and left, some abused and looking pretty beat up, driven by many. Some cars were "re-done" to make the outside look great to attract the new man who would drive it.



Whenever the man would check out the used car he was interested in he popped the trunk and there would be numerous baggage left in there by the former man or men, it was permanent, and if left unattended it started to decay and stink. Some trunks had no room left for yet another person's baggage. The insides were conformed already to the previous driver too, memory-material seats and gear shift that someone else's hand has gripped, even some with stains, burns, and trash.



Why would the men shop for and accept used cars along the road? Because they and the used "women" were not educated or told about "God's Car Lot" as a child. They all started there but didn't recognise it or even rejected it. Some of the cars in the car lot left on their own because they were tired of waiting for Mr. Right and thought they could be the Lord of their own life. But now they can not return to their former unused state.



(Here's the moral to the dream part) It is for our own (and future spouse's) good that God's best plan for us includes a pure undriven "car" and doesn't your (unmarried person) future spouse deserve it? -- end of dream
