Tulip89 View Profile History	Why are you single? Posted : 26 Apr, 2010 11:47 PM Remp hit a lot of the points I was going to make. Basically, nobody is perfect. We all need to grow, change, and mature. We all have to continually look at ourselves and see how we can change for the better. It isn't a question of being a different person to make other people happy, but rather making sure that you're putting your best self forward. We aren't called to be people pleasers, but we shouldn't be content driving most of them away either. Post Reply
View Profile History	Why are you single? Posted : 27 Apr, 2010 12:14 PM to be honest, maybe my choice to skip trial and error has been reflected in that post. i committed my future to the Lord, put in my request for a husband he answered and told me to wait. my point about seeking the kingdom of God first is that all the frustration and confusion of trying to make things work that God did not have a hand in from the beginning can be avoided. i have found that we go out and do our re-con then come back and ask God to make things work out. i chose to wait on the Lord. for young ladies it's imperative that we be rooted in Christ, i see no err in seeking the kingdom of God and having "all those things" be added unto me. i prayed, he answered and i'll obey. if you prefer to feel around in the dark then it's totally fine, he will work things out for your good once you love him... there is a short path through the desert, then there's everywhere else. i committed mine to Jesus. it's working out too, i pray to him, and he never neglects me.. Isaiah 65:24 (King James Version)"And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." so said, so done... because he answers!:yay::yay::yay: nyanda:purpleangel: Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	Why are you single? Posted : 27 Apr, 2010 03:41 PM Nyanda, your post makes very little sense. Most of what you've said comes out of nowhere and has nothing to do with any of my posts. In the future, please avoid personal attacks and telling me that I don't love Christ. That was rude and uncalled for. I still want to know how you think it's wrong, when someone is consistently driving people away, for them to evaluate and change some of their behaviors to avoid that in the future? How is it a good thing for Christians to be known as pretentious or stuck up instead of loving? And if I make changes to be more loving to people, how does that constitute "feeling around in the dark," "trial and error," or not being rooted in Christ? Post Reply
GraceMae View Profile History	Why are you single? Posted : 27 Apr, 2010 09:10 PM Nyanda, T, everyone ... (softly speaking...) Thanks for your responses. I posted the thread so we might be able to share of ourselves, and who we are/what we feel with one another. NOT for us to argue. There is enough of that going on elsewhere in this forum. I care about you gents and ladies, and respect the fact that we DO HAVE this venue to have ** F-U-N ** together and "let our hair down" from time to time, NOT "raise our hair and eyebrows all the time". Please, please, let us not attack one another (again "softly speaking"). If you must do, then do it privately... messsage yourselves privately... So, with that being stated... please everyone, we may continue now. I appreciate reading the various responses. Thanks!! ~ GraceMae Post Reply

Posted : 27 Apr, 2010 09:13 PM i'm sorry if you feel as though i attacked you but it was far from it. very very very far. i do not think you got the point of my post. it's hard to tell motives/tones online, but i can assure you that i was not attacking anyone! maybe it's the way i worded it....? sorry again. nyanda:purpleangel: Post Reply
raqsz View Profile History	Why are you single? Posted : 28 Apr, 2010 02:17 AM hmmm I am still single coz God is preparing me to meet this person who will really love me and take me for who I am and will not in any chance hurt me at all within the boundaries of marriage........:prayingf: Post Reply
raqsz View Profile History	Why are you single? Posted : 28 Apr, 2010 02:42 AM oh i forgot to put the advantages of being single..........for me being single gives you the time and the discernment to still choose the person you will marry and be with for the rest of your life and not commit the same mistake of choosing somebody who cannot keep the relationship for long.......another advantage will be deciding on your own on whatever things you need to do in all areas of your life......Hope i make sense.........

Tulip89 View Profile History	Why are you single? Posted : 28 Apr, 2010 01:30 PM Nyanda, perhaps I misinterpreted what you were saying. How did you expect me to take, "if you prefer to feel around in the dark then it's totally fine, he will work things out for your good once you love him," though? Post Reply
View Profile History	Why are you single? Posted : 28 Apr, 2010 04:27 PM it wasn't directed at you... i was focused at talking to this young lady. the first time i quoted you was not directed at you either. i have a tendency to remove people from the things they say to analyse it based upon my observations. so it was just the words, and the things that i attributed to it; "you need to do this for someone to love you" or "you need to wear this" or "your supposed to look like this" ... those were the things that rang out when i read that phrase. a weak person would just give in and a person with direction would seek the kingdom. i was focused on trying to point out to her to seek the kingdom of God first. people will always be wrong about a lot of things, but i don't hold it against them... i didn't hold that statement against you. it was the principle behind it. if i was attacking you it would be straight, and to the point, everyone would know it. i see a lot of young ladies carrying about daily life doing things because it is what is expected of them. most of them are sexually active and have boyfriends because that is what society expects. we see it all around. this young lady never expressed any sentiment that she accepted what those people said, i was in a position to encourage her.. in short it really had nothing to do with you. i'm really sorry about any hurt feelings though. it honestly did baffle me when i saw your response, nothing personal. nyanda:purpleangel: Post Reply
