God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Women, too, need to remember the appropriate level of commitment and intimacy on a first date. Guard your heart and your expectations. Do not enter into a first date dreaming about marriage or trying out his last name with your first name; be emotionally prepared for it not to work out. One of the reasons the Christian man may be uneasy about dating is that the risk is too high among many other believers. If he doesn’t end up marrying her, his name will be mud with all the other women at church! Such a man fears to date lest he be forced to leave a church he loves. This kind of situation is unreasonable and unfair; the woman can help by keeping expectations in check and allowing the man to interact with her without easily breaking her heart. But insist that he treat you with respect and care, and do the same to him in return. Like the man, you should resolve that time he spends in your company will have been to his spiritual blessing and will have been pleasing to the Lord. If you don’t want to go out again, be honest. But don’t tell your friends about the things you found unattractive; protect his reputation and cover his flaws in love (Richard and Sharon Phillips).
You are most loving patient, kind and gracious when you are aware that there is no truth that you could give to another that you don’t desperately need yourself. You are most humble and gentle when you think that the person you are ministering to is more like you than unlike you. When you have inserted yourself into another category that tends to make you think you have arrived, it is very easy to be judgmental and impatient.
In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt on medium speed
until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 2 T. at a time, beating well after each
addition; beat until smooth and glossy and stiff peaks form. Add extracts
on low speed. Combine confectioners sugar and flour; gently fold into egg
mixture. Pour into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan. Bake on the lowest rack
at 375 for 35 to 40 minutes or until top crust is golden brown and cracks
feel dry. Immediately invert cake in pan to cool completely. Loosen sides
of cake from pan and remove. For glaze, melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in
the confectioners sugar and cinnamon. Add apple juice slowly until glaze
is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over cake. Source: Taste of Home
