Going back to God!!

[qpmomma]

I was raised in the church. I graduated from a Baptist high school. I went to Bible college. But for the past year, I have been ignoring God to persue my own carnal desires. I've been dating a non-Christian. I never slept with him, but I did things I am so ashamed of. I can't beleive I gave so much of myself to him. He broke up with me Thursday b/c I wouldn't sleep with him. He ended up finding another girl who would. I feel so lost and alone. Last night I made the desicion to go back to God. I feel like a big weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I'm getting back in touch with my Christian friends. God is so amazing! I can't believe he forgave me and took me back!! PRAISE GOD!!

Now, I have to live my life. I have to live with the decisions I made. I'm afraid I'll go back and do the same things again. I don't want to. I'm so afraid I'll make the same mistakes again.

Christina,

our life is full of mistakes...

making a mistake is in our human nature...

overcoming our mistakes and going a step further is our spiritual fight...

take care and good luck!

Well I'm proud of you for sticking to your guns and drawing the line even though it cost you.
I think the biggest crime between you and him is the fact that he didn't appreciate you as a person.

Go to http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/home/ and take the course "purity Chalange" It is actually written for teens, but I'm sure you will find it very helpfull. It adresses purity as much more than sexual purity, but as purity in all aspects of our lives.

2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Ro 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:


Clearly we are told to be vigilant, but fear is another story. God is able to cause you to stand. Satan would love to paralize you with fear....next best thing to making you fall! or should I say next worse thig??

Wow, you are just my age. You know, I was just in a relationship like that. I'm hoping that you'll be able to break away from your attachment to them, just as I did. I found that just ignoring them is the best thing you can do!

Why? Because their words can seduce you into the same patterns of thinking as you were in while you were in a relationship with them, and doing wrong things with them.

Hopefully this helps, if not feel free to ask me some more.

Many are the falls we all have. God is bigger than them all.

Many Christians are caught out by their sexuality. It is a very strong and integral part of us, but we are often told "don't" more than we are given really useful and healthy information about how to be a single, healthily sexual person. One result is that our sex drive can suddenly 'erupt' and take us somewhere we did not plan, as happened to you.

Feel free to PM me if this raises some questions for you, or post them if you feel free to do that.
