In all my years of being a saved Ive never felt led by God. I don't know what that feels like or how its supposed to feel like. All I know is that I need a place to live and I can get a preapproval letter tomorrow. I'm just going off my needs and doing the very best I know how.

These things take time. If it always seemed like He was there all the time guiding every detail, it would be too easy. Please be patient. Slow it down, not everything happens on our timeline or terms. That would also be too easy. Is it possible to request a grace period/extension for the approval letter? Just look after yourself, for no one can run on an empty vessel. Keep us posted

yeah. a lot of chrisians do more harm to other Christians faith. Anyway you guys will be happy to know I didn't move in with him/...but I still have another problem.

potentially buying a house for my family and having my credit tarnished or rooming with my brother who I don't trust financially and living in the living room..

 

Idk.

Hi, thanks for replying. Very true, not all "Christians" are on the same page

I'm actually glad you reconsidered, it really is better to pursue a future with a godly partner on the same journey as you

Really, this is a big decision, you should take more time to decide this before committing to anything. Now would be a good time to ask God to guide you. Let us know how things transpire 

Stand by your statement as you wish, George and I haven't had issues or he would've approached me, nonetheless people should be more gracious with their opinions 

No, it was your comment to my post being distorted and short-sighted that was scornful. I don't encourage this lady to go bed-hopping, just that the church shouldn't dictate that a would-be couple shouldn't cohabit before marriage 

Luke 6:37 

Amen and You're welcome 

Something needs to be done about the scornful comments on this post. People should check themselves before proclaiming themselves a Christian 

Amen

Hi, thanks for sharing. Cohabitation has proven to be the best tester in terms of the viability of a relationship. Although a lot of "rules" haven't changed, the church has accepted and embraced a lot of change. God only asks that you respect His Word and Ten Commandments. Any "fine print" and monopolizations dictated by the church are overthoughts 

Hi, thanks for sharing. I applaud your efforts at trying to bring a non-believer closer to God. However, if she continues to resist, it's not worth exhausting yourself. You have to think long-term. It really is to your benefit to find someone on the same journey as you are 

Hi, thanks for sharing. This is perfectly natural, as we don't predict "catching feelings" for someone until it actually happens. If you can't eradicate these feelings, would you be willing to change churches? You need to maintain a sound mind when you are consulting with a community member providing a service for you, especially at a spiritual level 

Hi, thanks for sharing. It would depend on whether you're using your phone or a PC. When using a desktop computer, you have to save an image to a file first before uploading/pasting it. You may have to Google instructions if you can't paste the image after clicking/tapping on the photo icon 

Hi, thanks for sharing. It's actually a good thing the relationship ended. She was married. She's proven she can't be trusted. You were her "side guy" for 9 years. Don't feel guilty about anything involving her. You're not responsible for her. She's a big girl and I'm sure she'll know how to deal with her spouse long after you fade out of the picture. Move on with your life 

Hi, thanks for sharing and reaching out. It takes a lot of humility to break your silence. First off, avoid all the negative people who don't know better. When people don't understand a disorder, they judge. Only associate with those who will support you. Second, I can understand it's difficult to network in an area or community that doesn't coincide with your spiritual life. Third, you and your boyfriend need trust. If you don't have that, it's not healthy for you. Fourth, now that you're now aware of your underlying diagnosis, try to access the help you need. Take care of yourself physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually

Hi, thanks for sharing. Sounds like a dysfunctional parish, and it's not healthy. This is definitely the reason their fanbase dwindled. Is there another church in your area or community? Are you planning to move again in the future? I don't advise you to revisit the church, as you've done your part being a blessing and it didn't suffice. Move on to a better church that will appreciate you more. In the meantime, maybe just have simple gatherings with family and colleagues 

Hi, thanks for sharing. Compassion is one of God's many virtues. However, so is loyalty. Sorry to hear about your ex's hardships, but you've also moved on to a better partner and relationship. Acknowledge your compassion for your ex, maybe offer sound advice. From there, move forward and appreciate your new girlfriend 

Hi, thanks for sharing. Yes, any inner voice speaking doubt into your life is the enemy. Ignore it and speak only words of faith and positivity 

Hi, thanks for sharing. A lot of people have daddy issues, 99% of the time it's related to infidelity. Talk to your dad, be straight up about how you feel. Understand too that marriage isn't easy. Whatever you do, try to love your dad unconditionally because people make mistakes 

Hi, thanks replying. Really, I didn't know about these other health issues. Is your frenemy literally the only pharmacist available to obtain the meds you need? God ALWAYS finds a way. This should not be entrapment, you are not stuck. Ask God to help you out and provide what you need. This is your health and spiritual life here

Hi, thanks for sharing. Do not give in to your doubt, it's one the enemy's forms of trickery. Jesus IS there for you, any doubt is a lie. The cross DOES have power. There are times it may not seem that way, but that's why you need faith and prayer.  If you didn't, that would be too easy. Establish a relationship with The Lord, you'll be glad you did 

Hi, thanks for sharing. The Bible did say these times would come to pass.  You need to avoid ALL heathen people and things, even if they are family. Stand firm in your relationship with Jesus at all costs, at all times 

Hi, thanks for sharing. Your son is older now, try to see if he'll come clean about his actions. If he admits accountability, he should consult a professional about these impulses. As for your family, it's not your job to fix everybody and everything. That's God's job, not yours 

Hi, thanks for sharing and reaching out. Jesus also felt the same way, so this is where you turn to Him about this. His power works best in weakness, and He will turn it around for you, as long as you obtain (and retain) your relationship with Him

Hi, thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear you have toxic in laws. However, bless you for keeping God in your life and your children's lives. That's the best thing you can do as parents. The drinking issue you'll just have to give to God, as it is an undertaking that will distract you from your kids. Don't overwhelm yourself if it won't help you. In the meantime, you and your family press on, continuing to walk your path in God's Light 

Hi, thanks for reaching out. It takes a lot of humility to break your silence. You sound very depressed. Let God mend your (currently) broken spirit. You are not a burden, don't ever call yourself that. You are a child of God
