:thumbsup: I am in my twenties and unmarried. My parents love me living with then but is it ok to move out? Amongst other annoying things is my mom asks me to sit with her when she is eating because she doesn't like eating alone. I finally told her today that I do not wanna sit with her while she is eating and she was not thrilled with that to which I felt guilt. Is it wrong for me to not sit with her? It's so annoying and she takes an eternity to eat and talks on and on about trivial nonsense or else doesn't talk at all!

As far as moving out before marriage, of course there's nothing wrong with that.

But I am concerned about your motivations for doing so. Do you not get along with your mother, that you can't sit and have a conversation with her while she's eating? Do you both not eat dinner at the same table at the same time?

Yes, especially breakfast and lunch,, I just grab what I want and my mom is always eating regular meals and takes an eternity to finish eating. Yes, my mother and I do not really talk or have conversations, I mean thats normal I think, especially if you live with the person, she isnt a stranger that I constantly have new things to say or catch up on the news with. I just hate having to sit there and watch her eat for 20 or 30 or sometimes 40 minutes!! It infuriates me that she would even demand such a thing! I would rather be off doing whatever I want to be doing and if she loved me she shouldnt want me to sit there and watch her nurse some soup and salad for an unbearable period of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I left home when I was 19, it was one of the best things I ever did, I loved the independence and I learned how to really take care of myself, and I started my own life. Of course for me it was a little different, we were always tight on the household budget and my dad basically told me when I was a senior in High school to plan on starting my own life after I graduated. (meaning job/military/college/own place to live). In retrospect it was a great gift he gave me, and I have a loving relationship with them today based on mutual respect and love as adults.

The 20's are a great decade of life, or at least can be.

It is totally ok, I would go bananas if I had stayed with my folks untill I was married.

This is just one person's experience, but I really had the devil come after me right after I moved out. I was a new two-year- old christian, so maybe that was part of it too. And I moved to an entierly diffrent town.

What I was glad I did: Surronded myself with Christian friends and commited myself to a good local church. Moving so far away from my folks. Making rules for myself before I moved out on specifically what I would and would not do. (Parties, etc) Making a dailey schedule with Jesus so I would never be idle and give the devil opportunity.

What I regreted: Moving so far away from my folks! LOL Dating! Not sticking with the scedule as strictly as I meant to. Hope this helped.

Do you love your mother?

Do you respect your mother?

For the person who gave you birth, changed your diapers, fed you all your life, sacrificed many things for you - what is a few moments of your time a day?

DoK,

I would like help to understand something please. In all of your posts, you want to be able to do whatever it is that you want to do and feel good about it, no matter what the Bible says about it. But then you get upset with other people for doing things that you don't think is Christian behavior and you seperate yourself from them. Why the double standard? Should those other people seperate themselves from you for the things you do? You say it's too hard for you to live like a Christian but you want other people to behave in a Christian way.

I don't understand... :)

Our Ms. Nebula is not a mother, lol! I think, however, she is someone who has great respect for her parents as most of us here do.

Nope - 100% single with no children.

I am however an adult who has been a Christian for most of my life.

If you want to follow Jesus, you need to follow His commands - and if you read the Sermon on the Mount, there's a little bit in there about "going the extra mile." Do you remember that?

Also, the Bible commands children to respect their parents.

So . . . will you follow Jesus in this? :)

    • 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!

    • 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.
