To my dear little CF sister,

I know how hard this decision would have been for you to make. I just pray that the Spirit will move you to do whatever is God's will for you in this situation. If it is to be honest and forthright with your parents as to how you and Scott met, I pray that He will give you the courage and conviction to say that and be willing to accept any consequences if they do occur. If Scott is the man whom God wants you to marry, it may be possible that there will be bumps like this one. Trust in your heavenly Father and let His perfect will dictate what happens.

You are one very special and intelligent young woman, Jamie. I trust that your decision will be what God wants for ya. Luv ya, sis, and I hope to be able to chat to ya soon.

Kris

I had a feeling you were gonna say something along those lines, mate

Hope a good night's sleep has helped ya decide what God wants you to do, sis

 

[Mr.Cheese]

Just don't make me miss you again.

 

[white dove]

I pray that you & scot (w/ 2 't's ) will continue to be blessed in your relationship but that also the truth comes out...that your parents don't fret once they meet this strange guy ( again) and that you two hit it off great in real life. I would assume that you two will be dealing w/ the usual woes that come w/ long-distance relationships but I know that as long as you two remain centered on Christ, that you two will not only overcome those difficulties but triumph over them as well. God bless you both and stop poking us, jamie!!! grrrr

Yikes,I think ya'll are awfull young to be considering mairrage at this point in your relationship.You havn't even met in person! Slow down,please!Finish school,get your careers started,and then consider mairrage.How will you date each other if you live in different states? Mairrage is a very serious step,one of the most important decisions you will ever make.Have you ever been in love before? Is this the 1st time? Ever heard of puppy-love?
I just hope you pray really hard about the decisions you're about to make and seek 1st the Kingdom of God,and stay in His will for your life.
I'm just trying to help.

Thank you for your concern, but I must disagree with you on several points.

-There is more to knowing a person than physically being with them in person. If you take time just talking for hours a day for months, trust me, you get to know a person. If only all relationships started with simply talking and not from initial physical attraction, I think we would all be a bit better off. In most relationships, in my opinion, physical attraction comes first, then the willingness to get to know that particular person. Such is not the case with my relationship with Jamie. I fell in love with her for who she is first, then I discovered her external beauty as well. It's simply an added bonus. I love her for who she is.

-We are going to finish school before marriage. It's not feasible otherwise unless we go to the same college. Even in that instance, it would be delicately timed. Just because I know that I want to marry Jamie does not mean that I am going to immediately do it prematurely.

-Quite honestly, as important as a good career is to me, Jamie takes priority in importance. I know that whatever field I get into, it will be enough to provide for a family. I may not be rich, but I would be happy. I don't much care about earthly riches. But that does not mean that I will not try to start a promising career. Of course I will try to provide for my family as best as possible. But I obviously won't have a family to provide for if I don't have the love of my life there at my side. That girl is Jamie.

-How will we date each other in different states? This is a long distance relationship. We have a couple of very good friends whose physical distance apart is much greater than that of Jamie and I. It is not a problem. Eventually, we will be together. Next year, when we are both in college, we should both be in the same state.

-Again, thank you for your concern, but we did not enter this relationship carelessly. In fact, I never had it in my mind to start a relationship when I did. However, I fell in love - real love, mind you - and I could not resist. I had grown very close to Jamie as a friend, and then God began to change my heart and I found myself deeply in love with her. My love for Jamie will never cease. I pray about our relationship many, many times a day, and God has blessed us. This is a perfect relationship. I love Jamie very much. I do wish to, one perfect day, marry her. This is a Christ-centered relationship, and neither Jamie nor I will forget that. We have entered this relationship carefully and prayerfully.

Well, that's all I have to say...

I love you, Jamie.

that is quite true, scott (w/ two t's ) & it takes a tremendous amount of maturity to discover that..can't quite tell you how long it took lil' olllld me

the rest of this post was dripping with maturity as well...I know that as long as you & jamie keep your focus on God that the rest of your path(s) will be laid smooth in front of you...

I think that ppl who have given some 'warnings' to you & jamie mean well...I mean, it is the internet and some ppl do lie here...I always warn the younger ones I talk to about sharing too much information over the internet (or sharing too much w/ ppl you have 'met' over the internet)...it is not that I don't care; in fact, it is because I do..
I know sometimes I share abit too much but that is b/c I am a big-mouth and love to hear myself type and...

also, considering you two have not met yet comes into one's mind (I know it came into mine~but please remember there's not too much in there to begin with *wink* so let's move on...) however, there is a part of me that is abit irrational and sees nothing the least bit 'odd' with connecting to someone so well & though, having not yet met them, you consider them quite coo...

anyway, long post short, I wish you guys all the best *huggles*

take care & God bless you both

Thank you for your prayers and advice, Dove.

Well, I don't mean to speculate, but I always do, so I'll just go ahead and do it. It looks as if Jamie has told her mom the entire situation, and it didn't go well. Chris (caholla) got a text message from her that simply said "goodbye", and she is not answering her cell phone. I'll keep you all up to date.
