Author	Thread: I think I might've messed up. :(
Admin	I think I might've messed up. :( Posted : 19 Aug, 2011 04:17 PM About 6 months ago (when I had my first profile) I had this young lady who was interested in me...and like an idiot I let her get away from me because I was concerned about having a long-distance relationship. She lived on the other side of the United States from me. She sounded like a really sweet young lady. However, she's no longer on here unless she changed her profile name. How important was she??? Important enough that I still remember what her profile name was...and what state she lived in...and where she told me she worked. Looking back, I could kick myself in the behind for letting her get away...because she really seemed rather interested...and also because she deactivated her profile for a while after she found out that I wasn't willing to move there. Honestly, the distance wasn't worth losing a chance to be with her. How could I be so stupid??? I mean yes, she kinda indicated that she hadn't been in the faith for very long...and that kinda was one of the reasons I let her get away from me...but it wasn't worth it! I should've given her a chance! Does anyone notice what happened to the apostle Paul??? Paul was converted to the faith, and immediately began serving God. What I'm trying to say is...WE ALL NEED TO QUIT BEING SO STRICT ON THE ISSUE OF WHETHER A PERSON IS A "NEW CONVERT". I think I might've missed out on someone really great due to that kinda foolishness. :'( Post Reply
View Profile History	I think I might've messed up. :( Posted : 19 Aug, 2011 08:05 PM FocusOnTheUnseen For our own various reasons, we may sometimes miss out on good people, who may have been a good mate for Us. However, we should proceed with caution when meeting anyone oneline, because it is hard to Really know the person. I myself do not limit meeting someone to my area, because I live in a Rural City. lol I've met men from other Christian sites in person from South Carolina , New Mexico and I do not believe they were right for me either. So, who knows this young woman may not even been for you. But you would have known that better if you two had been able to meet In Person and spent time one on one. Post Reply
teach_ib View Profile History	I think I might've messed up. :( Posted : 20 Aug, 2011 01:38 AM I suggest posting a thread to the 'former' (insert old profile name). If you had a different profile name, add that in there. Tell her how you've grown and could consider relocation, etc. Who knows, she might respond...or a friend of hers might see it and let her know. I had a coworker who posted a personal ad in a hometown newspaper ( in the 90s) looking for his ex-fianc� from 30 years prior. She happened to read it and they eventually married...finally. It can work... Post Reply
vkjewell View Profile History	I think I might've messed up. :( Posted : 24 Aug, 2011 07:38 PM Dear Fellow Failure ~ In this part of God's Country, Abba is speaking to the church about His son's passionate, pure romance with each earthly fiancee for whom He suffered so unspeakably. That may be you. It's definately me. And what sort of Princess Bride am I you wonder? Well, frankly, if Jesus were to reveal our courtship these past four seasons, it would be fair to say that I daily left Him standing at the altar. Sadly, remorsefully, I have become aware that I devoted so much time and energy to one magical earthly courtship that I sorely neglected My First True Love. And now that earthly courtship has vanished . . . like a jetstream across a summer sky. There is not so much as a trace of it left, and this leaves me stunned and speechless still. Who is there to disolve lumps of woe from my throat? Who restores the crushed coronaries of my heart? Who strengthens me for my weekly work with Heavenly Joy and loans me moment to moment a Holy Tenderness I do not feel to continue to pray for the one who is gone? Who but a Perfect Prince would desire this fickle fiancee? Rarely do I endorse a specific item that displays on on my blog store; but I am almost desperately and passionately recommending "When God Writes Your Love Stove" (LUDY), the book that God used to open my eyes to the truth of how I was handling my desire for a mate. It's humbling to realize that these two young people ~ half my age ~ have twice my wisdom about how to express true faith in this area. I read this little gem in one night and then tucked a note from Mom inside and gave it to my 18 year old son who discovered young women last year. How I pray he has the wisdom to read it, own it, use it. And then I pray he will give it to his older sisters. Beg, borrow, or -- always better -- BUY this for yourself today as a gift. See if you have the faith to surrender this one choice that will mean the whole world of difference for every other meaningful choice across your life line. Dearest Jesus, How I wish I had . . .
