Hi guys. Please pray for Craig and for me, Rachel. We have been dating since Feb.(we are in our mid-twenties) and have gone through some trials in our life...He had some financial issues and I just had emotional issues that God was healing me from (relationships in the past, having a controlling nature over Craig, being jealous, etc.-God has been healing me of those things). We are both strong Christians, we made the mistake of co-habitating for two months in which we remained pure by God's protection alone! (we slept in separate bedrooms) but we obviously knew that was wrong-we did it for financial reasons and God convicted us both very strongly early on so Craig moved home to his parents. We took a month off to pray about our relationship and God's will for it....after he moved out....we didn't speak for those 30 days and at the end of them, we decided to come back and date again. We felt God blessing that....Well, we got back into the relationship and some of the things God wanted to heal me of from the past (past hurts, emotions, etc.) were not completely healed and I've cried alot, been emotionally unstable, etc. and I know God wants me to grow some more without dating right now....I have even doubted my love for Craig lately even though I know I love him so much and I know God did bring him for a reason-even if it's just as friends. Please pray for my anxiety over this to go away and for God to bless Craig and I for our obedience. I felt God wanted me to take this time away and I just ask that He would bless both of us for doing so.....I miss Craig and we still hang out but it's hard to think of life without him......I do want to marry him but I want God's will more and I need to be healed right now before I can ever be ready for marriage......Please pray for both of us and for God's healing and blessings on our relationship together. And for no confusion.....for He is not a God of confusion....It would mean so much..I'm hurting alot right now. Any wisdom on this would be welcomed to my heart...God bless you.
Love,
Rachel
Love,
Rachel
