Re: Maybe I Shouldn't Wait Any Longer...

I hear ya!

Just remember, the signs of a possible wife doesn't require a jean skirt and poof. I KNOW God had a hand in meeting my wife and she is Assembly of God.

Thank God. I hate poofs. Glad to know I'm still in the running to be someone's wife someday!!!

Sorry, I'm beyond goofy tonight.

Maybe I shouldn't have broken up with that pretty lady in my picture. She is still available and still asks about me back "home" in W. VA.


I feel like I'm a weirdo sometimes when I'm at church. Maybe this is my own self-consciousness or low self esteem or something. I don't know exactly.


One thing for sure, currently there is not one eligible, Apostolic woman in my church that finds me attractive, where the feeling is mutual.



I didn't move back here to find a wife-- not my intention at all. I moved back here for spiritual stability and growth.

I'll continue to focus on these things as they are most important-- I realize this, I need this and I want this.


However, it sure would be nice to have some female companionship of the romantic type.



I feel like listening to some Al Green right about now....

But really...
If we are fasting to seek God's will on a matter or to commit to Him, I believe He will honor it. If we are simply going on a hunger strike to try to get the answer we want, it probably won't work.
How Kewl is this!! What are these odds? Matchmaker Matchmaker make me a match....

JD, keep those standards high! She should first be a Christian. A woman with a career is a bonus. RW, do you still have that pic of how a female "Christian astronaut" looks in proper attire?

I was told quite bluntly last Wednesday night by this beautiful Apostolic woman that I would "NEVER" have the opportunity of taking her out to dinner on a date. She actually emphasized "never", repeated "never" and did so in front of our shared friends.

Later she apologized and I told her I forgive her, but it still stings.

I feel so weird at church, like I am so different-- in a bad way. I think it's probably me or maybe even satan trying to discourage me. In a month or so, I should be helping out with the Jail Ministry and I'm excited for the chance to be used by God in this vein. I'm gonna stay focussed on the chance to be used by God.



There was another Apostolic woman, but she let her Dad do her dirty work and had him come tell me that though he respects the fact that I was in the service, she'd rather marry a guy who already has a degree.

There's an Apostolic woman at my church who would let me take her out to dinner, if I was actually attracted to her-- I don't like women noticeably taller than me.


Oh well.

I'm gonna keep striving to live for God and let His power work in my life. He knows the difference between what I want and what I need.
