A New Relationship

There are so many things that are hard to understand when trying to lead a Christian life as best as possible. Many people give advice to not enter into a relationship with someone who is unequally yoked, which certainly makes sense. It's understandable and I never really questioned it, though many times I have tried to ignore it and reaped the consequences. But there is also biblical evidence of times where God has called someone to be with someone who is obviously unequally yoked. For example in Hosea...God called him to marry Gomer. Yes, it was to serve a very specific purpose, but when God calls us.. it is always to serve a specific purpose. I have recently met someone who is new to Christianity, but I feel like I'm supposed to be with him. Usually I can feel conviction or a gut feeling that it is not suppose to be that way, but for the first time I feel an "ok" from God. It kind of scares me. Not only do I not feel Him going against this, but things seem to be lining up and falling into place. I'm a little worried that people outside of this relationship will not understand, will go against it...will ridicule me. But I feel like it's a divine plan that the two of us met. I kind of feel like blogging about it, I'm not sure why. I just felt led to blog about it. Today, we both decided to give our relationship to God for His glory. He has begun a relationship with God and it is so obvious that God is moving in His life. I can see it, it's incredible. He hasn't touched alcohol or drugs... out of the blue. He just stopped. Completely. He is nothing like the person that I met at first. I did not even tell him to start reading or to seek God. I merely told Him about God, a little of who He is, why I am the way that I am, and how much God loves him....God took over from there. It is one of the most incredible things I have had the blessing to experience. Seeing God work in his life in many ways renews my faith that has grown weak and weary. It just feels like a divine appointment that we two met. I just pray that this is real, that it is in God's will and that He continues to seek God's love first. This is the first time I have began building a relationship on the foundation of God. It's new to me, and I can't wait to see what God does with it.
