So sorry, but....

[CoolMom6]

Thanks, sister.
I have lived too much and learned not enough, maybe.
But, I choose to keep trying.
I choose to keep loving my fellow man the best I can.

I truly desire a husband.
I know God is aware of what I need.
It's all in His Hands as I daily lift it up to Him.

Everyone here is in a different stage of their life, and have different desires in their heart as to what would truly fulfill them, but we should all seek to align them with God's will.
That is what I ask Him to do with my heart.
I believe that is what my gentleman friend is doing too.

Hey Coolmom,

Keep trusting your Father and he will lead you. I'll keep praying for you as you discern what is his will for you. It is abundantly clear how much you want to be in God's will and I believe he will honour that. I pray you will continue to know wisdom, peace, discernment and joy. Only you can know what God is saying to you, rest in that.


Bless you heaps

I think what I will ask from all my praying sisters and brothers is that the Lord show my questioning bf just what he needs to know, one way or the other.

I am not so unsure, myself, but I will be good either way; it IS about what the Lord wants, not what I want, and I have consistently prayed for that.

But I guess he wants literal confirmation and I would like to ask for prayer for that.

I do have a quick question, CM. What is the big rush? Take it slowly. You have know this man for how long? I now we live in the age of microwave ovens and drive through restaurants. But please, for you own sake, go slow.

Hi honey

I just have a question.....what if the Lord wants you to stay single for a bit and just focus on your kids, will you be at peace with that?

I have, yes.
I have been single for many more years than anyone realizes here.

Praying for you CoolMom. Thanks for being specific about what prayer you need.

Bless you

It is not a "big rush." I just do not want to date for the sake of dating. I can wait, but I do not like to date.
Simple as that.
I would like to know that there is some purpose in this spending time together.

I would honestly be okay with the door slamming in our faces if it is the "wrong" thing. I would be okay with it just being a friendship, like all my other friendships.

Just, TBH, it is much more than a friendship, and that is what is obvious to me.
He wants a 4 x 4 upside the noggin by the Lord, and I am of the train of thought, that it has been that already for me.

I agree, dating for the sake of dating? Blah
But you can date with your future in mind with eachother without committing to a future. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, sweetie, I know...

For me, it's just a matter of not wanting my heart raked over the coals again, which happens every time; I give a piece of it to every single human being I get close to.
I don't think I have to tell you that, my friend

I know. I just dont want you heart to get raked over the coals either. Been there and it lasts for too long.
Did I tell you I love you through the fire?

 

[porterross]

His ways are not our ways and we are wrong to insist on anything.

Acts 1:7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority


Do not let this man's desires to fulfill his needs outweigh the need to follow the path that God has laid our before you. Please stay true to the Word and keep your eyes on the cross. I fear this guy would have you more focused on him than God.

Yes, my brother, you surely did
I thank you for that.

Will you marry me??!!
(Won't THAT be a topic for discussion around here??!!)

I would love to. If only I werent so messed up. There are times when I think I am ok, then all of a sudden I remember who I am. I know I have given you moments of hesitation.
Yeah, we would be famous I think
At my first and only wedding, some were making bets as to how short of time I would remain married. LOL

Only when we are together for a few hours, and then I stop and pray in his presence, and then we pray together each time.

I do get wrapped up in the company, but many times we have had others there, such as church or Bible study, and each time but twice, we have had my children, so we do have other distractions. We talk each night on the phone, so we are communicating about more than just the chemistry btwn. us. But what good would it be without chemistry, esp. for two people who are so "Physical Touch and Closeness" oriented?!

It all remains to be seen, yes, but I have been pleased at the way the Lord has slammed the door shut on the others in such a way it was clear to me. I just wanted community prayers on this.

His groups are praying for clarity for us, too.
I think they like seeing him happy, and I feel very welcome in his church groups. So, it would be very easy to integrate into his life. He also wants to introduce me soon to his grown daughters and his mom and brothers.
I look forward to all of it!!
