    Last year i have a relationship with a single mom but we broke up because of money thats what I thought, but the reason she broke up with me because of the father her child. They still have communications and see each other for her she do it just for her son but guy take it as advantage to be with them again. Should i still wait for her and keep communicating her even though her ex live-in partner there in her life?

    I kind of disagree. I can think of AT LEAST 3 examples of women in my surrounding who committed to a "potential" and helped their partner come closer to God. All three men weren't Christians when their future wives met them for the first time. These men now serve the Lord and the couples' bond is getting stronger. Even God "falls in love" with our potential because He can see us not where we are NOW but where we COULD be. And helps us get there. One of the examples I am referring to is a pastor and his wife who've been married and serving the Lord for probably more than 25 years now. All I'm saying is that I don't think God called us to make our decisions from an intellectual point of view where it's obviously more reasonable to look for a spiritually grown Christian. But sometimes God plants things in our hearts and helps us see things in advance. I'm not talking about wishful thinking ("Oh, how I wish this was the one! I'll wait for him!"). But I really do believe that God can put a conviction in our hearts that this person is going to develop into a really faithful Christian.

    I was confused for YEARS about either waiting or moving in pursuing a relationship, and every time i tried to do something it failed, because i thought that by doing something i was acting on faith. And i always felt bad being single because most people i saw in church or in society were married or dating. When your contentment and happiness depends on having a relationship with a person more than God and Jesus, that is idolatry. I have repented of that, and now i am happy being a Christian only. If God wants me to be married or stay single, whatever his will is, that is fine with me.

    Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" I still cannot fully grasp where I went wrong interpreting all the "signs". For some of these signs/coincidences came at an unbelievable timing, where prayers have been answered in ways that go beyond my understanding. And I was trying to be very careful with this. However, looking back, I now do know and acknowledge that I was definitely consumed by tunnel vision, causing me to interpret coincidences into how I wanted to interpret them because I couldn't let go of my ex. I just hope others don't go wasting their time and heart for something that may/or may not be, and really taking the points in this video seriously. I wished this clip had been published sooner so i could learn from it back then, though that probably wouldn't have happened cuz i was blinded. Anyway, some time has past by now, and Im all over it thank God! God bless you all🙏🏼

    If it is meant to be I believe God will clearly open the door. Sometimes some obstacles can and should be overcome, however, when we have to jump through an excessive number of hoops, there's a good chance that the door is simply closed. We have to be willing to walk away. An unwillingness to adapt is often an indicator that we're over-emphasizing the importance of a relationship and not prioritizing where God wants our focus on at the present time. We need to be fully complete and satisfied in Jesus Christ before we are ready to embrace the potential of a Godly relationship in addition to that. God's timing is perfect, He won't let us miss the gifts He has in store for us, this includes a prospective spouse as well.

    Yes ma'am, God even means being friends or developing business relations with someone unequal. I married someone I was unequally yoked with and he really became more ungodly, even while telling me the things I wanted to hear. The spirit and absence of God is unsettling and the absence of that peace is telling. Run away and just trust God to bring your husband to you. The one God created for you is out there and he will pursue you. Before God gave Eve to Adam, God ensures his boy had a home and a job. That's how He will send our husbands. Equipped.

    Planning our lives around could's are not wise. Imaginary friends don't make good spouses. Even when God shows us all the signs, and we may choose to do the right thing, our feelings can still overwhelm us and may have us feeling like we're in a state of defeat.

    Personal story: I fell in love with a married man, he was married, but gay. His wife was living across the country and we had an immediate chemistry & connected on a deep level. I waited, as he professed his love for me. He swore loyalty to me, said that when his wife WAS around; they slept in different bedrooms and hadn’t had sex in over 20 years. That was all probably true. So, I decided to wait for him. That was in 2005. In 2007; I found out, from his computer one day; that no only was I NOT the only person he was with; he was a sex addict, and had hundreds of encounters and thousands of contacts. Unfortunately, I had become so intwined with him, and a death occurred in my immediate family right when I found out; and I was working for him; I stayed. I stayed, with promises of fidelity. We are married now. It took him until 2013 to get divorced, and we were married in 2019. I stayed at this point, for every reason - except love. That died when I found out about his philandering. He never stopped this behavior; and never intends to. I know I need to move on. But, now I’ve trapped myself in a lifeless, loveless marriage. If you’ve gotten to the end of this true story of MY life; please; PLEASE, move on. Once a cheater, always a cheater; and when they make you wait, without a date or even a promise, these are clear signs.

    I commend you for yielding to the Holy Spirit, instead of just going with your emotions and that she is godly. As someone that has had several counterfeits (got "confirmations", they were leaders in the church, etc.), I am appreciating and thankful for the wait because God knows the truth and is protecting us. Pray for wisdom and discernment, for anything hidden to be revealed, and for peace in the situation (whether to move forward in courtship or mutual separation). It may just be about timing, or maybe even though it seems like a good thing, its not God's very best for you. Remain faithful and strong in Him.

However, as we wait, we know that every good and perfect gift comes from our Father, if it's not from Him it's not good and perfect. Blessings for you Kristina.

    I’ve had a few signs about guys being in a relationship. For one of them, I had a crush on him (he went to my church) from 8th grade till right before senior year of high school. I eventually understood nothing would happen between us, and I was fine with that. Another guy I had a crush on after high school worked at the gym and was talking to a girl he went to school with. I eventually stopped having a crush on him, but we still talked sometimes. They broke up a in 2019 or something and then got back together in August 2020 or something. He and I still talk sometimes, but I’m not waiting for him to get out of the relationship. I totally respect their relationship; we’re just friends (closer to acquaintances, but still!) 😁

    Not sure if I've necessarily been waiting on someone, but I've known this man for 6 years. We've been friends, not super close but there. I feel like there's moments of this unexplainable connection, but when we get deep enough it just kind of dissipates, and I feel like I dont fit into his world. Doesn't really give me the time of day lol but in my last relationship God gave me dreams like he was coming around (not why I broke up with the last guy). Wonderful, serious man of God, but doesn't seem to be serious about us. Idk why God has given me certain dreams if its been for nothing.

    Be open to being pursued, but if he don’t, then don’t wait. Or just don’t miss out on someone new because of him. You said you weren’t necessarily waiting, so it sounds like this is what you been doing but you’re just curious about him. Just guard your heart and be open (maybe flirt), but let his actions speak. If he ain’t serious about you, don’t be serious about him, but let him know it’s all based on him. You probably know all this, though. It’s easy to see you’re wise. I wouldn’t worry about fitting into his world so much. I think if a man wants a woman in his life, he’s going to adjust everything else to fit her in it. I understand the dream thing, because I’ve had dreams that were misleading for me, so just be careful with those. Looking back, (in my situation) it was just my flesh and I liked her a lot. They were just projections of my thoughts throughout the day.

I’ve told many friends the story and some have said to give her time to think about what she wants, and some even said it may be better to just move on. From what you’re saying in this video it sounds like I should definitely move on. I’ve been single for 10 years now and so it seems it never really works out so it’s possible God is calling me to be single, or he may be having me wait for a period of time before he blesses me with a woman. We will see.

God can still be saying wait, things will turn around, or you just have to be patient. Maybe he wants to teach you to trust him that he can make things happen. I’m have been praying about this exact situation in my life lately too. I haven’t been sure what God is saying but I have strong feelings for this girl and feel like God is telling me to wait.

    @@LifeAboutToya I can tell you from my personal experience. *Please* don't date someone you aren't attracted to. Some people aren't meant for us.Take it as a sign from God that,that person isn't the one for you. 1 experience I've had is a man who I met a few years ago. (The similar situation about not being attracted to that type of person.) He is very kind,loves children,active in the church but as for me. There are quality about him in his character ect that I did not like. Extremely expressive in a more feminine way(it may be his culture) and extremely talkative. He is not gay but as for myself I had to decline spending anymore time getting to know him in a group setting and distance myself. But pretaining to what you were saying. I noticed he was on the heavier side when he first came to our church but getting larger by the year.Some time had passed,I remember we were in the elevator in our church with some others. Someone had said there was extra food & did anyone want more?(we had enough.) He hopped out of that elevator forgot what he was going to do and scurried so quickly to get more at the church bbq. I thought then, for certain,personally,for _myself_ and my life "I can't have a man who won't take care of his health.The man God has for me needs to be there for our future children. Active and being alive." I could almost imagine him being out of breath running after children. This isn't what I desire. He is still a good man and he ended up marrying a woman who completely understands him because she has family that's similar to him in his mannerisms ect even though they are form different cultures He is Brazilian and she is french. In fact, he found out he's called to be a pastor and he works with the children's ministry. It's Gods purpose to make him talkative & expressive to reach the kids. Especially during covid & having church via online. His wife is a daughter of a previous pastor at our church. She is a nicu nurse and loves children too. You see? This couple found each other organically.God brought them together. For certain I know they are right for one another. So take it from me. Where there's smoke there's fire. I know it's the opposite. There's no spark so don't force it. I'd be fooling myself a few years ago trying to "like" indivisuals when I know I am not attracted to them.You ever garden? Some things just take place naturally. You can't force love nor attaction. So free your mind from thinking that you need to settle. Gods word said the eye has not see nor the ear has not heard nor has it entered the heart of man the things God has instore for us. In encourage you to read songs of Solomon. The whole book is talking about love and character and how beautiful and perfect to that person their loved one is and likewise.Love is beautiful. Gods love is a reflection in marriages. You cant force it,its just something that grows and is. Lastly wanted to share a joke but also a statement. "One thing you don't run for is a bus,a train or man because when one leaves another arrives."

    @Dye Dye I have let him go in my heart as far as waaahh i want him back now😭😭😭 knowing that this is just horrible timing even if it were to happen. God has never let me down, or given me anything half baked. Him not being a believer and our current life situations are not conducive to that blessing. All we really can do is put these men in God's hands. No matter what we see or dont see in the natural, God is always working! He changed us and our lives, and He can change them too!

    @Dye Dye yesss I pray and talk to Him about everything! really do need to put Him on every day like you get dressed in the morning. Absolutely essential to get through life at all times. He knows we are feeling frustrated and waiting, but he is patient with us and understands our feelings. He will never give us anything outside of His timing.

    Girls be ware of a grown boy that pressures or rushes you to compromise your values. We need to require standards, boundaries,morals, and take your time. If a man says or acts by saying " it's what I say, not what you say!" Run as fast as you can!!!! It's not love but control and the benefits he's going to receive. Other red flags:no real job, bad past patterns, lives with his momma, car insured by someone else, shorty he sees and provides for at his convenience, and the two -faced -double -minded "church" man (question Christian character or any character that is contradicting). RUN RUN RUN. He will manipulate you by putting you on a pedestal and fake cherishing you, sex etc. then when he moves in he will devalue you so you don't leave. It's all about control.Then he will turn it all around on you and play the victim. This is about you being a part of their narrative not your individuality. Do not submit or bow down to a man with no plan and puts his own needs 1st. Love yourself!!! Especially if you have children. You wont know if your coming or going and walking on eggshells. Life will revolve around their wants and needs. You have been selected to do their bidding and regulating their emotions. A lot of these people have personality disorders. Tell yourself I deserve more, I deserve peace, I deserve to be happy, I am competent and responsible, lastly tell yourself their is a great big world and plenty of good men but you have to search in the right places and take your time. Just say I need to look through the lenses of abundance not have a scarcity mindset. Yes, I've been watching a lot of different coaching videos. Good luck and God Bless!!!!
