Joshua Harris describes in his book Boy Meets Girl the dynamic of relationships/courtship and allowing God to guide you with his wisdon (instead of our feelings alone) by using the analogy of a kite and a string.
He writes, “The relationship between wisdom and romance is like the one between a string and a kite. Romantic love is the kite that catches the wind and tenaciously heads to the sky; wisdom is the string that holds it back. The tension is real, but healthy. Without the string, the kite would quickly come crashing to the ground. In the same way, romance without wisdom will soon take a nosedive… Like a string on a kite, wisdom enables romance to really soar. It anchors it, disciplines it, and brings it to its highest potential.”
Passion based in ignorance or haste can invite disaster (Prov. 19:2)
Don't let your feelings say "I want this right now!" and forget about patience or seeking the reality and wisdom provided by God's incorruptable word. Our feelings should be based on the information we have recieved from God, controlled, and shared in line with what he desires and what will ultimately glorify him.
Just thought this was a cool analogy and wanted to share

Truth. I find myself doing this more times that I'd prefer to admit. Which is unbecoming since I am a firm believer that Patience is a virtue and wisdom is worth more than gold.
Nice blog.
Bless God! Thank you so much for visiting. :0)
