God provides when u dont expect it!

[looksgood]

I had been talking with a girl a while as pure friends. I wasn't expecting more than that. But with time I began to think of her more. Well I told her and she said she thought of it too. But we never desided to do anything bout it. Because we wanted God to be the one to let us know. Niether of us wanted to be an ex down the road. So we just left it to God.

Well I was praying and surrindered to God. I had peace in it and no fear. I relised if God wanted it He would make it happen. And I talked to her again. He had layed things on my heart to tell her when I finnaly gave her to Him. So I spoke those things.

It would just so happen that she had asked God for me to say those things if it was His will for us to persue a relationship. There is no doubt God is in it. Because I have ALWAYS been afriad of relationships. But God took my fear away in this one. I have no fear, and a great peace! Whats more is I am finding she is a GREAT help to my walk with God.

She has even told me she knew my calling before I told her. She said God had layed it on her heart to encourage me in it. And whats even more amazing is that I was told once I would have a wife who would be for my help in ministry. I didnt tell her that...but she told me she felt God was calling her to me a help in her future husbands ministry. Most wouldnt think of that as a calling. But God layed that on her heart.

Anyway we know so much about each other that my friends are worried. They think we are moving too fast. But God set this thing up. Its amazing!

So just an encouragment...Give it to God and He will give it back to you pressed down shaken together and running over!

Thanks for the advice! I want to keep God #1 for so many reasons. In fact I know that it is going to take Him being #1 to make this work. What God gives He will take if you turn the blessing into your idol.

I feel responsible for her spiritual needs. But I was praying today on that. We have been doing a bible study together and I asked if she was getting anything out of it. She said she wasn't . But I am glad she was honest with me! So that kinda made me feel bad cause I want to do all I can to help her in her walk with God. But I had to pray on it and I have some peace now in knowing that even though God layed it on me to watch for her soul...He has not layed it on me to make her gain from God.

What I mean is that He has layed it on me to only point to God for her. To be an encouragement for her to seek God herself! I want to seek Him with her so bad. But I know that all I can do is seek God with her, not find Him FOR her.

I am blessed so much to be with such a wonderfull christian woman. She meets every hope I ever had. And even the needs that I didn't know I had!

looksgood,
Are you sure that this girl isn't manipulating you? I know the question may sound a little harsh, BUT it does happen and its always good to be careful. I only ask, because you said in your op that you'd tell her certain things/prayers and she'd say things like, "I was just praying that..." etc..., I don't know, it just sounds odd to me...She may very well have been praying that etc..., and it may be a work of God. BUT its always good to MAKE absolutely SURE that its GOD speaking, and that its HIS hand at work and NOT the hand of the enemy.

IF this is infact GOD, then I think you two have an AWESOME testimony, and I PRAY that God heaps blessings upon blessings on your union.

Believe me I have considered that. And I have been carefull to not let my heart jump ahead of my head. But I have looked at it from many angles. And not only that but I have taken it to God as well. God gave me peace about it, and no fear.

But to let you know, it wasn't me saying things and her agreeing. We would actualy have conversations and she would bring things up. In fact I asked God for certain things to be mentioned just to let me know. And she mentioned those things. So really she spoke first about a lot. And I spoke first on a lot. It wasn't a one way thing.

As far as if God is working in it...I have no doubt. Both of us are much stronger in God because of this. In fact she helped me to win someone to christ!

Thank you for the warnings though. This is just something that I actualy thought through for once. Not only that but it is TOTALY in Gods hands. I am trusting in Him. And whatever His plans are that is what will be.
