  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hey everyone, I posted this in the teens section and was advised to post it here as well so here it is.

I'm having a bit of a problem at the moment. This might seem like yet another "girl help" thread but I could really do with some other opinions on the matter because I havn't really spoken to anyone els about it.

Next year my girlfriend is going off to New Zealand or Australia for a year or two, I still have one more year of college to finish before I can even think of doing anything independant. I really love this girl, and yes I know 18 is young, but she is different to any girl i have met before and to save you all that typical soppy talk i will leave it at that.

What I'm not sure about is what to do after i have finished next year at college. I have a job so i could save up money and head over to meet her and see what happens from them on, or i could go to university, like the rest, and maybe only eventually see her many years down the line.

I'm not sure what we should try and do when she leaves. I would like for us to stay together more than anything in the world but she is one of thoes people who will always say that anything can happen, which doesn't do too much for my confidence, so she seems to want us to spilt until she either gets back or i go to her....

I've been with her for just over a year now and she really is one of thoes life changing people, if anyone could give me their opinions on what you guys think would be a good idea, maybe with some spiritual back up I would be really greatful.

On another note seeing as this is in a more relevant forum. How do i know when my feelings about some one are more than that simple teenage heart throb? I know 18 is young but I feel as though I'm really in love with her. If some one was to ask me if it does feel different when you you love some one compared to when you find them attractive I would say deffinately.

I feel as though I would like to marry her some day (obviously not planning it for a good part of the next decade but still eventually). I'm just not sure weather or not i can trust my feeling or if they are simply the doings of a youthful, easily swayed heart...

Anyway, any help would be great! :)

Thanks

Firstly, if its real love(for both of you) and meant to be , your feelings will still be there a few years down the line.

Pray for wisdom about what to do, and for GOD'S will to be done.

But like I say, if God's put you 2 together, the relationship will still be there in years to come and you can pick up where you left off from.

Just trust Him and rely on Him to do whats best for you.
