I finally found the time to finish reading "Captivating" by John and Statsi Eldredge. It is such a great book. everyone should buy a copy and read it !

To love is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it careful round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all engtanglments; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable ...The only place outside of heaven where you can be perfectly safe from al dangers ... of love is Hell -- C.S. Lewis

Its thundering so im gonna end this
