    Anyone here that participated 2007-2009

    Hi Sampa, I think I was here. I can't remember. I have been on and off here for a long time. I am not sure why I came in tonight. But praying that you are well and everyone else in the forum. Blessings

    Pastors guilt singles into sticking with the proposal?

    It is always hard when we seek advice to know the motivation of the people you are asking. I have asked for advice in the past and sometimes received the worst advice possible because the advice giver has their own idea what needs to be done. Discernment when asking advice is essential...

    Celibacy

    Oh I understand this. I have been single for what seems forever now that celibacy has just creeped into my life. It wasn't intentional, it just happened. And trust me, I am so far from the standard men want for Christian women I have a feeling I will be staying this way until my dying breath...

    I'm Sheldon Cooper (at least in person)

    Hmmm... I am not sure which fictional character I would be. I am not sure if I want to compare myself to people in shows as I like to think I am unique and nobody could capture me in a fictional character. I know which characters I would like to have traits of and Sheldon Cooper is brilliant at...

    Do Their Friends Matter?

    Hmmm.... that is an interesting and complex question. After all, her friends don't need to be your friends and vice versa but at the end of the day you need to trust her when she is with her friends. I have friends that my family etc don't necessarily like for a variety of reasons so they would...

    What are you doing to improve yourself?

    Recently I did Steptember to increase my activity level as well as raise money for a charity. I am reading a lot books on faith and Christian education/teaching for a new job that I will start next year. Other than that, I think I will have to look into some other things... I have a few ideas...

    Whats on your mind...?!

    I hope it all goes well for you. Just reading your post reminds of the many times I have faced the same struggles and I am so glad that you are recalling scripture and finding comfort at the time.

    Tired of being single. Advice needed

    Also, to reply to other discussion, I am pretty sure I would ever like to meet this in real life. In Australia both snakes and spiders are deadly so the combination of both would be enough to send me into complete mental breakdown.

    Tired of being single. Advice needed

    It would be nice to find my Boaz. I guess the importance of this discussion is not about Boaz as a person but finding the man that will be with you as Boaz was with Ruth. Though I thought it was hilarious when you said as I am not yet prepared to lay at a man's feet in the middle of the night...

    Whats on your mind...?!

    Thankful for some wise advice regarding my upcoming day surgery. Also, the wasabi on my sushi roll was too much. Strange ways the mind works....

    when it is hardest to be alone

    That is hard. I do hope and pray that you will find someone. It is even harder that you have to stay a night. I hope it all goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

    when it is hardest to be alone

    Oh that is good. It is great to have a doctor who cares for you. I am glad that it is something you can handle. For myself, I have a few tests and a minor surgery to go through soon. I am ever thankful for my parents to help me through it as, being single, I wouldn't know what to do if I didn't...

    Dating within Bible Study??

    It is very sweet and I am sure that she would be flattered if you took the time to get to know her better. It sounds like you want someone who is as Christ centred as you are and are willing to discuss Biblical principles etc. I would suggest you ask her for coffee and a chat. You said she seems...

    Struggling with smoking....

    My quit smoking, now over 11 years ago, was a long journey. It took a really, really long time and even now I sometimes hang around smokers just to passive smoke. I was also born and raised in a Christian family and I thought that the journey would be easy. Like a magic wand, I desire it and it...
