Thank you, all 3 of you for your responses!

I was studying last night and I came across a few verses I really did not understand.I was wondering if anyone could help me out.. to the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his believing wife and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise you children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 1 Corinthians 7:12-14

Beth is alright! I am on the phone with her. When she comes back she will tell y'all how she is doing!

Great analogy! That is very inspiring! E.

I am getting cruel PM's from this person saying how messed up my family is and saying we need help. In fact that me quote that part: And I don't even want to try to create peace, how can I be friends with someone who says stuff like that?

I had this friend, who just, VERY recently hurt me. I am wanting to avoid this person for a while, knowing I will say something harsh and rude, which is something I do not like to do. But this person is EVERYwhere I go. This "friend" goes to all the MB's I go to but one, including here, and they talk to everyone I talk to. It's really hurting me, because I am not going to stop going to messageboards that I go to because of it, especially won't stop coming here. But HOW do I get this person OUT of my life?

I am getting overly hungry y'all!!

I can make that recipe! My mom saw it in this book, I had been bugging her to get so she finally did so I make it. I LOVE Amish Bread.... yummy.

I would rather die for Christ than die doing something for the world. God is so much more important to me in that sense and I would rather know that forever I am to be with Him than to deny Him. Whats the price of denying Him? Or should I say what has happened to those who denied Him before? Think of those questions.

Okay, this I can get very personal with. I had that same problem. I did it because I believed it was the only pain I could control. Now I hate facing it because I have been asked so many times where I got all the scars I have. And now, feeling good about God, I say they are proof of the wonderful work God can do for people. Just like He saved me from that stuff He can save YOU. He is incredible and He will do it, you just gotta tell satan to leave you alone and allow God to work on you. God is the only one that can help us, and you gotta count on Him.

sex, in the short term may make you THINKyou feel better, but really it will hurt you more and more eventually. Like it is now, you think it will make you feel better, so you want it more but really its hurting you because you keep doing it, and knowing he's using you makes it worse. Sex just complicates everything if you aren't married. It makes you think you NEED it and need to stay with the person you have had sex with. My advice is to really move on. You don't need this guy, you need to know you don't need him. And you don't need sex to make you feel better. God is the only one that can do that for you. He is the only one that can ever change your life, or bring you peace and happiness. God Bless you and be with you always.

Well its incredibly hard to get along with people who are different from you if you let it become a problem. I personally know I am usually a picky negative person and I think I got along with positive people really well. It all depends on how you act towards or with them. If you let it bother you it will become a worse problem. If you don't let it bother you then you could really adjust to getting along with more people and being liked by more people. I know people who are REALLY positive married to negative people who are both EXTREMELY happy. And I have seen two negative people married and they end up sad and depressed.. you gotta stretch your boundaries and try to be able to be around everyone! sorry thats the best I got.

o0o0o0o mucho gracias! Great jewel! REALLY! thanks for sharing that WISDOM! :hug:

Great article.. very interesting.. unfortunately I only had time to read about half of it.. so I will read the rest later.. thanks for sharing it!

First off.. I second everything Cats said! Secondly.... Just leave this all in the Lords hands! He can handle it, and He will! He is faithful! Trust Him and things will happen the right way.. the way they are supposed to be! Just allow Him to show you the right way! God bless! Ericka :il:

I KNOW she has commited to Jesus as her Savior.. I know that.. I don't think this is a game.. I truly believe that she feels like killing herself.. she hasn't said anything to me lately, but I think its because I keep telling her I am going to tell someone...... I have no idea what to think or believe anymore.. I just pray that everyone can continue their prayers for her! Blessings everyone! Ericka :il:

Babylon Rising -Lahaye and Dinallio (something like that) <REALLY good if you like the story of Daniel and stuff.. great stuff to read! The Covenant -Beverly Lewis <AWESOME author!

I know someone who constantly says "Jesus Christ" out of anger and "God" followed by the "d" word.. That really makes me mad when she does it.. but I just say to her.. "you want Him to listen when you are calling him so angrily?" great ways to do it GymRose, ManofWork and papasangel!!

Rock of Ages Wings of a Dove Amazing Grace Peace in The Valley Just a closer walk with Thee Why Me (Lord) Turn Your Radio On Will the Circle be unbroken Love Lifted Me Ok and EVERYTHING Ron said.. I love the country Gospel.. and yeah

A lot of cartoons are for kids! Like.. Roccos Modern Life, and Charlie Brown and The Little Mermaid on Disney and stuff..

I can ask.. I hope.. is the anger mutual? at all? are you jealous of something? are there other problems? like.. budgets? anything like that?

first.. I'm sorry but I have to say that is gross.. a threesome? eww.. now I wouldn't change a word of what mcm42 said.

Well I think all these posts are from people over 18.. so maybe one from someone closer to her age...?' I am 15.. what I can say on this.. Any 16 year old girl likes to feel loved... its just our nature.. well.. anyone likes to feel loved but.. well you know what I mean.. anyway.. How do you know this is love? Love is a strong word.. and you have to prove to yourself, her and her parents that you are in LOVE with her. I don't know how you will do that.. but just saying it doesn't mean you mean it. There is a feeling nearly as strong as love, its called lust.. an infatuation with the eyes, causing you to believe you are in love..Not saying that is the situation here, but it may be. However you need to pray about this. If her parents do say you cannot date her, no matter what they say, and no matter how you feel, you need to back off. I am sure you will still be able to talk to her and whatnot... but.. back off, none of the seeing each other behind their backs, because if that is what you do, and you do not show them how much you love her, in front of them, they may be thinking "whats this boy really want with her?" And no matter what you want with her.. thats what they are going to think. I have some way to relate to this too.. Last year.. I was 14, really close to 15, but STILL 14, I was dating a guy who was turning 20 RIGHT after I turned 15. So 5 years older than me almost exactly. His parents did not care, and my parents.. didn't know. We knew what they would say.. and eventually, he did end up trying to knock me up (and I hope you know what I mean by that) so I ditched him. Unfortunately then my parents found out I had been dating him. They were really angry about it and I got grounded.. for.. well a long time.. No matter what they think or knw about what is going on behind their backs, sex is gonna be one of them. Lets turn a minute away from all the people here that relate to this subject and lets turn away from you... If you heard the question "What does a 20 year old want with a 16 year old?" I bet 90% of people would honestly think "sex." Its just the natural instinct, nowadays.. a lot of things are about sex, its just the way the world has turned.. and no matter how we try to change that, we can't. But talk to her parents, if they say no, and you truely are in love, you can wait the years until she is no longer a minor. Thats love.

Well.. I like cartoons.. lol.. I will never stop.. ima big kid.. lol who watches captain kangaroo.. and what kid wants to watch the discovery channel? lol its not just cartoons.. its EVERYTHING that is changing now.. every thing is becoming more adult and stuff...
