Perhaps go to the English church once a month.

On the first Sundays of the month when museums are free entry in Paris and it is worth visiting the museums in the mornings and the English church in the afternoons. 

In fact that wad the reason I was there last Sunday. I went to the Pantheon in Paris in the morning. 

Panthéon where Napoleon is buried, right?

(Think the lady would be interested in going?)

Nope he wasn't buried there.

Let us see if she remembers me the next time and is willing to talk to me the next time and then we will see how it goes.. 

Chances are I didn't make such an impression on her as she did on me.

@missmuffet

Turns out that the French church that I attend now don't have a service on December 8th. Like they planned it. I had absolutely no hand in it.  I think that will be the day that I can go back to my previous English church with a clear conscience, knowing that I did not change my church attendance just for a girl..

Between now and then the girl may very well have forgotten me. But it is important to trust God and His timing...

LOL I went to a Christian campus ministry event today which was in French... and I was introduced to fellow PhD students and they added me in a PhD/Post doc Christians Paris WhatsApp group.

And guess what she is on the WhatsApp group...

Oh, how wonderful! ☺️

I understand I your reticence to attend/visit a church "just for" the opposite sex. I used to have a "purist" feeling about that, too. But, now, part of me theoretically wants to relax a tad bit and not be obsessive either way. I'm sure we can with good conscience attend for several reasons; however, we always need to check our conscience to see if we are doing right.

Alas, I'm still single in middle age! Argh... sigh. I have considered going to churches (or towns or workplaces) where the "kinds of guys" who I think I'd have an interest in are congregating. I have started to consider those places more concertedly. e.g., moving to Nashville, TN to meet intelligent guys in the Christian media sphere. I haven't done this yet, and if I did, I think the thrust would be because I want to be in that environment, but those "types" of guys would be there, too. Hmm, but I have a lot to pray about, and it must God's will.

If a specific person were in question, as in your case, I don't think it'd be a great sin to go once or twice to said church, but absolutely find true interests in something else so you can honestly have other reasons for being there. 

Anyway, I think we Christian singles can become awfully tangled up in our heads. We have souls/feelings, but are not to be too soulish; God gives us natural drives (dating, marriage), but we must act righteously, of course. Pastor Robert Jeffress says that nothing we do is of completely "pure" motives, but I think he just means that we can't 100% disconnect a thing from our human nature - however, I think we should absolutely strive to be pure - perhaps like coralling our nature? - but I think it's not a sin to want to see your Polish friend - as long as you don't obsess. (I've been trying to sort through such things myself, and I pray that God forgives me for any I imperfect advice here.) So, pray, pray, pray! Have an accountability partner, like a guy friend or pastor, who you can discuss it with, too.

It sounds like you have a natural opportunity with the WhatsApp group - praise God!

Thanks for sharing @LoveJoyHope-lady

I'm praying , trusting and waiting for Him to lead. Let us see what He does...

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
