:muahah: That happens to me all the time! I'm too lazy to draw them lol! Of course, sometimes I can't remember all the details either. :laughing:
I feel you completely!!!! Same for me!!! hahahaha!!!!! :muahah:

yeahhhhh xD
She tried to tip me and I told her we couldn't accept tips, so she suggested that she was a very good cook, and could bring me food, which I also declined. Then she told me her daughter is very beautiful :aarh:
Oh my goodness!!! She was really trying to bargain with you there! That's hilarious!!! :ahah::ahah::ahah:

But that's of course from my own point of view and as you have noticed, my mind on certain things is flawed and sadly still hinged on secular mentality. Clearly we have a different opinion of chaste and viginity. But I know you're right and it's me that have things I need to continue to work on.

Continuance is the tipping point. You’re not in that place anymore. And you don’t have to be ashamed. That’s the bigger point I’m after. :)

If a woman or a man for that matter can keep away from themselves period until they get married, they have my utmost respect.

I’m not a virgin. Obviously. But I maintained my abstinence while dating. That meant more to my companions than the other. The willingness to deny myself (and him) while facing temptation and influence commanded their respect. I’ve been tested and tried but my position is unchanged. They know they can trust me.

Don’t assume your faux pas is unredeemable. We’ll make some lemonade. ;)

Based on this post. I like your line better than mine. I know my line is in a grey area at best as is it leads back to patterns of this world.

Right now. But that isn’t forever. Make the adjustment and keep going.

I am committed to wait to marriage. I have changed my ways. I have quit porn like I said, but I will keep from the rest too of course.

You have a testimony. You’ve overcome something many spend years battling. And it didn’t take long. You went all-in. No waffling or shortcuts. You met it head on and called it by name from His perspective. That’s why you're delivered.

When you tell your story don’t leave that out. That’s the holy crescendo. He didn’t bring you to that point to leave you hanging. That mountain is no more. You must come up a little higher. You’re ready for the next.


What if man and a woman is in a relationship. What about kisssing or french kissing? is that covered under exchanging fluids and therefore lands on the no no list?

Kissing is harmless for some and stimulating for others. It doesn’t fall in that category. Engagement is a personal choice.

Clearly lines have been crossed. But I never had intercourse, and have learned my lesson, I will stay abstinent and reaffirmed my committment.

That’s enough. You confessed, repented, and live differently.

I hope I meet a woman that can accept my past and I can tell her things as they are, that's the whole point. I don't want skeletons in the closet.

You get what you expect. It sounds cliche but its true. If your psyche believes otherwise you’ll draw (and be drawn) to that sort. But if you’re determined to have the other reinforce it spiritually.

You’re ready for the book. It’s time for specificity. As your understanding deepens about yourself and what He desires of you; you’ll grasp the correlation and what you require from her.

Every woman doesn’t possess the tools to help you be a better man. Never forget that. Some will hold you back or keep you stagnant. Rare ones help you soar.

Your ability to face the truth is your superpower. That’s why I’m hard on you. :D

Thanks for all the information. I would like to try this out myself. But not this year. I will have to prepare myself more for something like this.
Yes it does take time to prepare and I still don't feel like I'm ready yet. Maybe tomorrow I can spend some time in preparation.

So a friend and brother in Christ that I made a connection with at a 30th reunion last Summer has cancer and I have been supporting him. Tonight I had asked him about getting a pedicure or nails done, and he has two young adult daughters. Because of that conversation he has decided to book an appointment for both his daughters. He liked the idea and I think he's going to go with some naval academy colors. Since that's part of his background and he's also working for University with those colors. His time with his daughter's is so precious, as I don't know how much more of a life he might have if things keep getting worse.
That's so sweet!! :)

Oh, you guys know. Just being Saucy and all.
LOL! Yep, sounds about right! :muahah:

That's so thoughtful of you to ask. I've been on an up and down emotional roller coaster. 16 hours of work on Thursday, 6 hours of sleep and then working Friday.. I'm hanging in there. It's not as bad as the week before though.

Worked today... was not too happy about that... lol.

Like my weekends intact...

Really... anything above 40 hours and I'm done. Especially when my commute is about 2 hours a day (both ways).

Oh wow! That is a long drive!! I currently am in an area where driving to some of the nearest cities is almost an hour away, so I really feel you there. I can't imagine working overtime and travelling that far every day!

Being closer would be nice. :)

I can relate! I have a hard time with the radio sometimes so usually I plug in my Bluetooth adapter and play music from my phone instead.
