Admin	Happy...Sad...Confused... Posted : 21 Jun, 2009 06:10 PM So, I've been thinking and realizing that I know I can't deal with what I'm going through alone. I have been have a hard time in focusing and praying and listening to though the Lord about this situation though. I would say about 2 months ago if not a little longer, I started talking to a guy. We had fun talking to eachother and had a lot in common. Then like a week ago I ended up going camping maybe 15 minutes from where he was, so we decided to meet at his church. We ended up talking and whatnot for several hours. Ever since I've just kind of been a little confused in not knowing what to do. I know I need to pray and listen to God. Like I said above I've just been having problems focusing. Any thoughts, advice, prayers, anything, please!! Post Reply

Also, thoughts of like do I keep talking or just stop talking. I think mostly being able to find a way to focus would solve a lot, but I'm stuck on ways of finding focus. Post Reply

Seeing as how I'm horribly distracted by some lady all the time (I've usually got a "crush" going for someone!), it's annoying - because I agree; it IS distracting! here I am, trying to focus on praying or reading - and it's bad enough that I'm ADHD somethin' fierce... oh look, my sunglasses.. ...what was I saying? Oh - ya, ADHD something fierce, and also OCD (in a good way, as long as it's in submission to Christ), all of this causing me to lose focus on my Creator King, and get focused on a lady. It's difficult; BUT; it's going to happen no matter what. Paul was clear about this and why singleness is better than marriage - but most will be married, which is still a very good thing. But, having a spouse/lover will distract you from the Lord; there's nothing you can do about that, it's right and proper (so that you make sure you minister properly to your spouse) and not only does God already know you're going to do this - He created marriage in the first place! So does the relationship bring glory and honour to Christ? That is the ultimate question (just read that this afternoon). struggling with a lot of these same things lately, especially after meeting a "potential" and getting kinda focused again - really distracting.

Well, he seems like a nice guy and like he wants to keep striving for that relationship with Christ. I think only more time and talking will tell whats suppose to happen. I know patience is key but very difficult. ...maybe I have been bitten by the love bug and that's y I can't focus. lol! I know I want to keep everything centered around Christ no matter what happens.
