Thanks a lot for your words. I am doing better. I just get emotional sometimes.

Good I'm glad you are doing better

How is needing more human touch and another human being (one I'm not related to) to talk to and share my life with a carnal need? Maybe I'm just tired of reaching out to someone I can't prove exists or is talking to me in the first place.

At first I thought of telling you to go to the Singles forum, for there's many there to help you. Then I read this:

Which is one reason why I'm not looking forward to the next life, cause we're all going to be "married to Jesus" or some such nonsense like that and we're all going to love each other the same way (so there's really no point in having exclusive relationships now). Honestly, it sounds more like a hippie-club to me.

Like I said, God loves everyone the same way. So there's no real point in having an individual relationship with him.

I'd just rather be married to an actual human being than some cosmic deity.

At first you sound like you're not saved & don't care..... but then I read this:

Oh yeah, cause that's always a great way to motivate people. The doctrine of Hell didn't even come into existence until Augustine brought it in the fifth century, along with several other unbiblical ideas. Then again that's what happens when you mix religions.

Then couldn't God persuade someone without violating their free will? Isn't that what he did with Paul?

Now it seems we have an educated individual who knows their stuff. Switching personas on the fly..... IMO, that can only sum up one kind of individual..... a TROLL.

Sounds like you're the one trolling to me. You don't know me.

 

[Stephen63]

Guys are pretty easy to get. They are everywhere. All they need is food and sex and most of them will stay loyal. Pick one out and marry him.

This IS a christian site, isn't it? Or did I make a wrong turn somewhere?

I guess I should be glad you didn't "recommend someone to feed & have sex with".

If you'd quit switching characters on the fly I might. As it is, no one will.

And your point is? Men are easy to get hold of if that's what she's looking for.

 

[Fenner]

Too long to explain why. I just want to. I can only sum it up in three words right now. Empty, lonely, hopeless.

Im glad I read that you're doing better. I'm glad you reached out. I've been in that place too, it's hard I will pray for you.

Stephen, you're sounding quite reasonable at the moment, so I'm inclined not to take my usual tack with you. I'm really quite interested in this line of query you have introduced.

I was thinking the very same thing.....

To be able to find thread later. X Marks the spot.

Let me spell it out.....Christian men shouldn't suggest the ladies get any old guy that wants to be fed & bedded.....Sheesh.

Well the ladies could get a young guy that wants to be fed and bedded.

People also say “Love is an action, not a feeling,” and to some degree that’s true. But when you love someone, don’t you at least feel that they’re important to you? That they’re worth investing in? Unlike a lot of people, I don’t believe actions generate feelings. Paul himself said if he did all these great things, and yet did them without love, they wouldn’t mean anything. You can marry someone and sacrifice for them and stay faithful to them and do all the things you’re supposed to do, and still not love them.

Alrighty,
About wishing you had it together as we seem to;

I literally went home fell on the ground and started crying today.
I can hide that and make it seem like u have it all together, and I often do.

(Sorry for this ahead of time guys lol)
People here do not have it all together. We all struggle and stumble and many hide it.
You aren't the only feeling like you're breaking

I have it all together. I just put it in a really safe place, can't remember where it was, and think I threw it out.

I sometimes wonder if there is a secret ground where IT does come together goes, because I have yet to meet the person who does have IT all together. (I don't even know what IT is. lol)

Thanks a lot for your words. I am doing better. I just get emotional sometimes.

I'd like you to do yourself a favor. Take those words, copy them onto a .doc, enlarge them big enough to see from the other side of your room while keeping it on just one piece of paper, (which, if you're like me, will take hours lol), and then print them out.

And then post it in your room.

Why? Because when we're drowning in fears and worries it's hard to remember we get emotional sometimes. (and it's not a "just." It is very much a right into the gut terror when it hits.) BUT it gets better from there. Not always right away, but it does.

Love is also a choice. You're stuck with your family but you get to choose your spouse. Don't marry anyone who you don't love and don't marry anyone who doesn't love you back. And then once in marriage keep remembering why you love him and show it. Much easier than family.

Then again, God has been working on me loving my family for decades now. One I cannot. He has done such terrible things to me there is nothing to love. And yet, after all these years, God did some pretty spiffy work on both of us, and I do, very much, love him

Love, like 1 Cor. 13. Not love like chocolate. (Although chocolate is quite lovely, it's all about what I get out of it, not what I give it. So, love chocolate, but not the same kind of love. lol)

Choice is an action, and that choice is a God-given skill too.

I wish I had it together as much as all of you here seem to. I do know God and even do a prayer journal, but that doesn't mean I don't doubt or have my times. I wish I could make it all just disappear, but I can't. I know there's a life after this one, but I want this life to mean more than just working for God. I want to meet someone whom I can invest in, not just for myself but for them too.

I will say a prayer for God to search and find a man of your heart's desire.

It's true that you don't choose your birth parents. But that doesn't mean they'll love you. In fact, a lot of children who were initially wanted by their parents are also abused by them, even though they claim to "love" them. But that's not true. A real family is one that loves. You may be related by blood, but if you don't love each other, that's meaningless.
