[Faith-talk] updates on my current living situation

[Poppa Bear]

Wow Andrew, you said some very wise things, I am blessed that you can also
see the wisdom in Linda's words, Linda may have came off as over stern to
some, but I believe that she is just getting to the important bottom line
stuff and if a person took her advice then they would more than likely land
on their spiritual feet and not on their head and be walking in God's will.

i could not have said it better than linda  you need to  not block your
family out of the picture family is very very important.  all we can see
here is your side of the story  there are always two sides to the story.
you need to not get ahead of god and his will. you need to do things god's
way.  God's way is not to live together and if you two sleep together you
will undefile the bed of God.  you need to seek spiritual council from a
pastor or your church you need to first off if you are not in a bible
believing church you need to find one we may not like what god says but the
bible and God tells the truth as it is and the truth is the reality.  you
need to look at things through god first God needs to be put first before
your boy friend.
