Response to Meghan: This sounds exactly.. EXACTLY... like my situation. Wow. The issues it seems like your man is experiencing seem the same as mine. And what you have been experiencing in your relationship with God and your understanding of the situation is so similar to mine as well. As much as I would never wish the pain I've experienced on even my worst enemy, it is also comforting to know I am not alone in it. God is so sovereign over all and so good, no matter the circumstances. And when we let go of things even through the despair, trusting in Him, I think it is definitely an act of worship. Reply »

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! :) True, true, true is what you said Alicia! I know in my case, Chad (that's the guy) definitely doesn't get what "love" is - not just a feeling, though those are always involved, but it is also a CHOICE and an ACTION! I am there emotionally - but he just isn't. And I know that. He is a very logical guy - and very godly -just a bit immature, especially in the emotions department. I know God has a lot of work to do on him, but on me as well, just in different ways. I love this site so much already! I love when we can be the church to one another, even when we can't meet face to face. Love and prayers! Reply »

O my goodness! Where should I begin? Two Sundays ago - a great, seemingly godly man who I loved so dearly - who had promised me marriage, had told me he loved me, and who I had set my direction with (We had decided to get married in the fall, and move out to Illinois to go to Seminary in January) - decided that he wasn't ready to get married and didn't want to marry me. It was a complete shock. I was just waiting for him to buy me a ring. This man had promised me marriage. This man was a man that everyone knows to want to be godly and strives for it. And here he was, at my doorstep, failing on all of his words. For no real reason. So, yes - yes I do know the pain of the broken promises. I am living in it right now. And it's not the first time. I was actually with a man for 3 1/2 years and we were actually engaged - when he broke it off. That was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced, but God was good to me in it. I see why He did that now - but this new ending that I just told you about - I do not get it. But I know I will. I am trusting Him. You can read my blog to kind of see how I've been dealing with it : livinginhisstubbornlove.wordpress.com SIGH. What are with these men who promise forever? I also struggle with wondering if I will able be able to trust a man again. This latest guy is like the 5th guy to tell me he loves me and wants to marry me - and then take it back. I call them my "Just Kidding Guys." I mean, I told him (the most recent guy) about what had happened to me in the past, and told him to please not do that to me. If he didn't mean it - then please don't say it - because I don't know how I would be able to live going through another heartbreak like that. But - he did. And all I can do is pray and trust Him - that even though I DO NOT GET IT - He knows what He's doing. Anyway, I don't know if that was helpful, but do know that you are not alone. And feel free to write me. I am so excited for this site. I just found it ri... Reply »
