My Obsession of the Moment
Wow, she dropped some serious jewels. The one about cooking especially hit home for me. I love to cook and cook for a man I'm dealing w/...wow, she's given me some food for thought. I'm guilty of that one as well.
That was good advice. I've heard that advice over and over again but for me it's a matter actually following through on it.
She definitely gave you some soul to keep without all the threats of fire and brimstone as church ladies often do.
ITA with Mrs.Saditty - I'm so glad she didn't spend half the convo telling you that you were going to hell...
Very interesting indeed! I wouldn't have listened to her if she used that approach. Fornicating is a sin just as having too much pride is so she'd better be prepared to hear from me too.
Good advice! Do you still believe in soul ties? I do believe that sleeping with people that you are not married to causes you to have connections that you would not have if you hadn't slept with them. I am still not sure what I believe about if somoene's spirits continue with you. I will have to keep thinking on that. But talking to her just gave me a lot to thnk about and act on.
I was just talking to one of my friends about all that advice church lady gave. I'm glad you gave me some additional ideas to tell her.
Great advice. I wonder at what point she feels it is appropriate for a couple to start cooking for each other and visiting each other’s home. Going out a couple of times a week gets expensive even if you are being creative. She told me that she didn't believe people needed to be dating in each other's homes until they knew they both wanted to marry each other. I didn't think to ask her how they would get a full picture of the other person without observing their home life. But what's funny is she never heard of the book I read "Choosing God's Best" but a lot of the things she mentioned are the same as things that were mentioned in that book.
Ooooooh, this would be such a good topic for a lunch.
Have you discussed this in the past? I have sooo many single gf that are excellent on paper. Attractive, intelligent, accomplished, goal orientated and they want to me wives/mothers. And they can't find a counterpart. Or they have one, but it doesn't seem to be a relationship of equals. Why IS that?? She asked me what type of men I was meeting and were they professional and what was the problem b/c she couldn't believe that I don't have men asking me to marry them. I flat out told her she hadn't been on a date in forever - men may have it to gether professionally, but they don't seem to be marriage minded.
I totally love her approach and I pray when I get married I can minister to young single women. I stopped seeking advice from older women in the church because I got the same dry response. I knew what the bible said but I wanted some practical advice.
I have a post about 'relations' in my head that I've been meaning to type - just need to get it out.
