  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Have you ever been incredibly attracted to someone even though you know the odds of it actually working out are slim to none? Even tho you know deep down that even entertaining the idea of pursuiing something with them would most likely lead to frustration and heartache?

Have you ever wondered why that person keeps getting placed in your path, when you're praying for God to place "the one" in your path?

:help:

That's really weird V.....I was just thinking this SAME THING today!!!! :o (que in.....twilight zone music)

</IMG></IMG>
And what's more strange is, something much more is going on in my head (too long to explain), so me reading this post all ties in together! (more twilight zone music :D )

Something else that's weird that's been happening, is my thoughts about 'things' are coming to reality. :confused:
Case in point: My mind, lately, has been on a new cell phone (color, style).....I just received in the mail today an offer with my phone/cellphone company, for a free one (exact style/color I was thinking of) for being such a loyal customer.....so I called the company and I'm getting it in a few days and it's FREE!!! (after mail-in rebate). And that's just been one thing that's happened!!

So, yes, 'crossing paths', thoughts coming true.....all this strange destiny God is playing with me. ;)

So, I'm just 'kicking back' and watching it all unfold.

My frustration is not knowing if it's someone God is placing in my path or if he's just there and I'm "willing" it to be God's will. I so don't want to make that mistake. :sorry:

My past experience with that:
I recently broke up with a Christian guy, that I THOUGHT us, crossing paths, was 'God inspired' but then little 'things' kept happening, not in favor of our RL, at first, I ignored the things trying to make it hard for us to talk/see each other, but after a while, I started questioning why they KEPT happening, then I/he stopped 'forcing' trying to see/talk to each other and He AND the 'things' went away. ^_^

I'm in no hurry to be in a RL, anyway, so from now on, I'll just 'kick back' and see what's up God's 'sleeve'. :p
Maybe nothing :scratch: Who knows?

Yeah, I'm not in any rush for a relationship. It's just this guy in particular - he's one of those "THIS GUY" guys. KWIM? :sorry:

It's not often in my life that I run across someone that I can look in his eyes and feel instantly connected. Part of me wants to see if it means there is a possibility of something more and part of me wants to run for the hills. :doh:

Well, I have been praying for years for a mate. If the one God has chosen for me, has crossed my path, he hasn't made his presence known to me. There is a guy I work with, that I used to have a crush on, and I still think he is cute, but, if left alone with him for more than 5 minutes, he annoys the daylights out of me, and I might end up killin' him! And I think, what did I see in him??? Oh yeah!! He's cute!! haha! but, other than that, I spend my days at Kroger, and off days dealing with Avon. So, I haven't had a chance to 'look'.

I re-read this post and I think I sound like a 'looney'! ^_^
See what happens when all these weird things keep going on that I can't explain? :eek:

No, what do ya' mean? :scratch:

I call them "THIS GUY" moments...b/c there is THIS GUY that I am instantly attracted to, not just looks-wise, but when I look in there eyes.. :swoon:

It's only happened to me one other time. The first dude completely crushed me (I was only 17 - he was 21).

I don't know if that makes more sense or not - I'm really really tired right now. :sorry:

The short answer is yes. But isn't that called "being human"?

. . . Have you ever wondered why that person keeps getting placed in your path, when you're praying for God to place "the one" in your path?

:help:

Not anymore.

Sorry, I'm just cranky tonight. :sorry:
