Best of luck to you! I pray the Lord guides your meeting.

But I’m jealous you can go somewhere and get coffee together!!

Where do you dwell that it is so free?
Wisconsin for me!
This week our restaurants are open for service - We have only had 2 cases of Covid up here in our County! We will see what will happen now - especially since so many people from Chicago and Madison and Milkaukee have summer houses here - and there they had the most cases...

Where are you at?

This is a most exciting development and I will pray that it goes well and that you are both comfortable and relaxation and will take it from there. It is great that you talk on the phone every day. I met my wife on this site and before we actually saw each other we would talk on the phone every night.
I agree - He is soooo busy right now - because he consults Farmers on planting etc. So he makes extra time - is super intentional and lets me know ahead of time around what time he will call me and he never lets me hanging. It's very special to me - since quality time is my love language (And hugs)

I am so encouraged by your testimony tourist... How sweet that you met your wife online - Also my friend just got engaged a week ago and they met on Christian Mingle... :)

So this could truly work out... As long as it is the Lords will

Good new's! If you live in the U.S. all fifty states have eased the ban. If you don't see people out. I guess they don't feel safe. But yeah. Go for it!!!

Not sure where you got your info, but I can assure you my state, Pennsylvania, is not open. No restaurants, except takeout, no other “nonessential “ business at all. No Churches. Many other Restrictions. I heard the Wisconsin Supreme Court shut down their Governors dictatorial edicts.

Very happy for the young lady.

I will pray for God's will and desire to be accomplished in this relationship.

Hey All... I had words come together today and had to pen them down and then I felt like I should share them with you all...

What Satan once had planned to be poison to our growth and survival, has been transformed by God to fertilizer to help us thrive.
Our Pain and Tragedies go from stumbling blocks to the very stones which elevate us to ministry.
God is a Way Maker, a Miracle Worker, a Promise Keeper and the Light in the Darkness.
Your brokenness does not have to stay your weakness - it can become your greatest strength and asset!


Also:
I think I connected with a Gentleman over a dating site - We are going for coffee this Saturday or Sunday.
It's been unreal how it all happened. So I would really like to ask if you could pray for our meeting :)



Yesterday he told me that after seeing my profile he reactivated his account so he could send me a message (well no - the reactivation is so I could send him a message back if I wanted), he paid 50$ in hopes that this girl would perhaps read his message and answer it and to see if it could go somewhere...

And there are many more things that really have impressed me - During our first conversation he said that he under no circumstances wants me to ever feel under pressure - that he felt we should beginn as friends - build trust before we decide if we want to take a next step into a deeper relationship.

And each time at the end of our conversation he will tell me that he does not agree with any negative things I might have blurted out about myself. I am so used to putting myself down - I guess it's habitual because of years of verbal abuse during my formative years. (And almost zero encouragement during that same time). I don't ever remember what I have said about myself that was negative - because I guess I do it so naturally...

Anyways - I am excited and I am hopeful...

Love you all!
Girl, I’m praying that everything goes well and that those church bells be ringing anytime soon❤️.

He is not running away lol
He has his own house - family and all where he lives ;) But thanks for the concern! He isn't dating anyone else - he actually saw my profile and decided to pay 50$ so he could send me a message.

he seems genuenly nice and we talked on the phone every day
I ll let ya know how it goes :)
um ok well keep us posted!
funny on THIS site I thought it was free to send ppl messages until someone said they had to pay. I dont know how much it is.

Are you on a different dating site, and how can you be sure hes a christian?
hmm someone must be getting rich from the dating sites, or is it $50 for unlimited messages. Because it must cost an awful lot everytime you wanted to message someone....

all the best anyway.

Is the guy a christian HM?
Yes! I wouldn't even consider going out with someone who isn't!!!
he is from what we have talked about everything I have prayed for in a man as a matter of fact - kinda strange... haha But then again... I've seen that over and over in people who wait for the Lord in relationships!

Yes it's a differen't dating site.
And I am gonna go on a limb and say not everyone on HERE is christian either :)

But yes he is a Christian and how am I sure - from our talks and speaking about scripture and the bible and the way he prays...
He goes to an Evangelical Free Church and is quite involved in it :)
You pay 50$ for a months worth of messaging.

hmm ok
i guess thats a good test, ask someone to pray for you and listen to how he prays.

if he prays too long, hes just showing off.
if he waits for you to pray first, he doesnt know what to say
if he forgets the name of Jesus or to thank God...well he has no clue...
if he prays to you instead, or Mary, um...run...!

It is $50 USD per word. Nah, just kidding. :) At $50 a word I would be a man of few words.
