This isn't your usual introduction..
So let me know if it is in the incorrect sub forum or not specifically suited for this forum.
I am 29
I am here looking to seek God. There are a few reasons!
- I am in a position in life were I am a little confused on the way forward and need guidance.
Looking from the outside in I look happy, but I have no-one really guiding me, I am very smart, quite career driven, and have always done things alone without help. Which has left me a little emotionally detached.
- I would never have seeked a path like this if it wasn't for my girlfriend. (age 22, have known each other for 19 months) Her family on her mothers side are very strong Christians. If that is how you call it..
Her included.
At the age of 18 she was in a difficult time in her life and was kicked out of home, she abandoned God, she thought she could do it herself. don't take this as a rough upbringing! She is a beautiful girl with a loving family.
She didn't have the skills to enter the real world and this led her towards a 2 year life of dare I say the word. Drugs and erotic dancing. (hope I haven't broken any rules, let me remind you don't get the wrong idea just yet)
I work away in mining/oil and gas and we occasionally venture to these clubs. Which is where I met my girl.
Long story short. I pulled her from an aggressive, violent, drug fuelled relationship with her ex bf, provided financial stability. Whilst giving her the tools to control every day life. Something she is very grateful for as her parents sheltered her from the world.
2 years later. On new years eve 2016 was her final night of dancing. She was free.
She was pulled back to the church after this by a missionaries group that walked around on Saturday nights. She attends church weekly and attends the missionary group college nearly everyday. She is really loving finding Christ again.
And has shown me how it had helped her since finding him again, we are having a much better connection in our relationship, next month she will not be having sex anymore till she is in wedlock. It is strange for me. It is all new. But for a few months we have been praying together. She is showing me I can get guidance through him.
She is hesitant in showing me from fear of me leaving.
She has the ability to speak in tongue (if that is what you call it) and she has made it clear God comes first. He is number 1.
I am not her provider. He is. So any tips for a new comer are more than welcome.
She has male/female friends she can talk to and I have no one. So here I am hoping to potentially get some 3rd party advice.
Administration - please move to correct forum. Or delete it if it is in anyway disrespectful.
