I'm wondering if anyone has some advice for a young adult moving out of the house for the first time.
I've been living with my parents and siblings all of my life, was homeschooled, never had a job..(and can't find one or get hired anywhere in the town i'm living) and currently the only thing i am doing is taking computer programming distance learning courses through an online college, which should be finished by January. One thing the Lord has been showing me is maybe I am not meant to have permanent residence in this town, and maybe a future lies ahead of me in a different locaton. So i've been talking it over with my boyfriend (I had a seperate post on a different area of this subject) and he and his room mate welcome me to their apartment (his roomie broke up with his gf) and now they have 2 spots for ppl, and my bf has reserved one spot for me there and he said he will support me until i get on my feet(find a job etc.) which he can help me with and he also wants to help me get my driver license my 'rents havent taught me to drive yet either but he wants to teach me to do that as well. So anyways it just feels like all this time God was planning for me to relocate due to circumstances made me unable to make any permanent connections/residence here in town and i am still being hindered in doing so, and the strong feeling i get when i pray is that God has a plan for me elsewere. so the conclusion is what is some advice for someone in my situation moving out for the first time..relying only on God and my bf for awhile? I've been praying about it and so far i only am more led to believe this is the path God wants for me. regardless what do y'all think?

Done the whole Gf moves in with myself and room mate, with me paying her share of everything while she looks for a job, and it ended, with her still not having a job up until the point that we broke up.
So until your not relying on your Bf, I wouldn't do it, because he is just that your Bf, not your husband.

If you are truly truly strong with the Lord then anything is possible but I would be careful with this matter because a lot of things could go wrong. If you do decide to go through with it, I would make sure that its for the right reasons. Don't do it if you just want to move out with your b/f, I've seen the end of that road (not first hand) and its usually because one was forced into it. In the case that I'm refering to, would be pregnancy.
Like I said, be careful and let the Lord guide you with your decision.
Hi!
I just wanted to put in my opinion, for what it's worth. Don't move in with your boyfriend. Boyfriend does not equal spouse, and to move in with him is only allowing temptation for sex before marriage (which is a sin, as much as people don't want to believe it. I know I won't be popular for saying that.).
That aside, your boyfriend can be a great help in the moving out process, and it will strengthen your relationship. If he's still interested, have him teach you how to drive, and find a job so you can afford a place of your own.
I'm so happy for you that you are praying for this, and that God is pulling at your heart. I think God will start opening doors for you, so if you keep your eyes open, He will provide an option that is more amazing than what you would have thought yourself.
Thanks for the input everyone!!! Alex and believe, you had some very helpful opinions and advice
We both understand the temptation risk and therefore when we do move in together we have discussed scenarios in where we'd be tempted and ways to avoid them if at all possible, and we plan on buying a few books and things on Godly relationships. He found a couple at his church's library that could be very helpful. anyways thanks alot y'all!

You're dating him - forget it for two reasons. One is the temptation factor. Two is if you break up for some reason, you'll still be under the same roof. Not good.

Well in reply to the second reason, it's very very highly unlikely..we are committed fully and entirely..we have made a commitment and promise to stick by eachother and not break up no matter what we will work through whatever may come. Our love is unconditional. However the temptation factor is a good and more serious reason yet we are well aware of that and discussed what we would do if faced with several tempting situations.
