My boyfriend and I need prayers

[bakura_fan]

It seems that even though we get along just fine*ok...we get along extremely well*....our families seem to have dificulty understanding each other...and well...I feel like I'm in the middle of a Romeo & Juliet play. Both families have insecurities about the others....I'm not sure how much more I can take.
I guess the major problem is just with our families to work out their differences and accept each other. Micah's gonna write about this when he gets home and if his interent doesn't quit on him.


I have another prayer request for just me. I need to tell my parent's during this time where I'm feeling called *which I know they will not approve of. It's nothing bad...just they don't have the same opinions as me. you can ask about it if you want to*

[Ashley]

Goodness, I can relate to this. I was lucky; my boyfriend's parents and mine get along spectacularly, however I do understand how anxious I felt being so afraid my parents wouldn't like his family. You have my empathies, girl.

And the calling, oh boy. Well, if it's any consolation...if it's where you are truly called, God will provide all you need, including either peace from your parents or strength to press on without them. I don't want to make this thread about me, but I had to face telling my parents I wanted to walk away from a huge scholarship at one university to move out and transfer to a brand new school without any aid because of the call. So man, I really, really understand what you're going through right now. I will definately be praying.

all i know is GOd is working...and i turst that...i don't know what He is doing..but i know He will pull this out for HIs splender. But it is not untill both sides want to acctully know eachothers feelins and work things out that anythign will really happen...

[Yahshua]

I will prays as well.

I shall pray too sister, I felt the same way about my current ex girlfriends parents, espeacaly the Father, although my mother loved them, it seems that god gives couples these trials for a purpose, although I am not sure what that purpose is exactly.

[bakura_fan]

thanks.

and about the call I feel. I know I'm called to teach...but that's not the calling I'm tlaking about. I feel called to pursue a carrer in Voice Overs. It's been a major passion of mine...but my parent's feel it's a waste of time...I wrote to Vic *can't remember last name* since I missed him on tonight's chat...and he wrote back with this advice.

"Thanks for your Email. I'm sorry you missed the chat tonight. It was a neat time. I understand your dilemma, and that's a tough one. There is definitely a mandate from scripture to obey and honor your parents. But at the same time you MUST follow where you feel God is leading you. All I can say is to pray that God will soften your parents hearts, and that He will open doors and guide you in His paths."


I feel that this was an answer to prayer as to whether or not I should tell my parent's how I feel or not. You see...the other part of it is...I'd stop my schoolwork *no BA for me...only AA* But my parent's think that education and success are more important and that VA's usualy end up starving unless they are really good. I feel that I need to get opportunities in that. I know I most likely won't succeed the first attempt...but if it's where I'm supposed to be I'll feel at peace.

........
Sorry Micah....kinda got off onto me again. ^^, So yeah....uhm....I guess that prayers for my individual request will now more focus on parent's handeling the news and God's strength with me.

[bakura_fan]

well..things just went from bad to MUCH WORSE. My paren'ts....I just don't know what to do...they are the worst people in the world that I know right now. They are stubborn...then they turn around and say things to me that hurt me...and I'm not allowed to tell them the truth to them because "It's disrespectful". *long story*....My parent's are extremely insulted by his family...and are rejecting them completely now....because they feel rejected. I DON'T THINK I CAN TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS! IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT OF TOO MUCH! How can I live in a house where my parent's are going to constantly complain about the man I love and his family? Is it bad that I love him, and have always loved him more than my parents?

[termyt]

I feel for you both. In-laws are often a cause of strife. Look at the bright side, they don't really have to hang out together too much. It's probably just an adjustment phase at first, anyway - geting used to another family's way of doing things can take time and understanding. I'm sure it will get better as time goes on.

[Hephzibah]

Although this is a hard situation, can I encourage you to keep on honouring your parents and praying for them. It is hard on parents when their kids start growing up and making decisions for themselves (like who they love).

Anyway, I'll be praying for you matie. God will work out everything for good!

[Spiritsword]

I will pray.

[Rogie]

Just remember that parents are human and make mistakes, too. Although I don't know the entire situation, of course, try to remind yourself that your parents do love you and probably just want what's best for you. And the same goes for your boyfriend's parents, as well.

These things take time, and as long as you and your boyfriend both pray to God and rely on Him, asking for His will to be done in your lives, He will come through and lead you. I'll pray.

[dragonshimmer]

I'm praying as well.

[bakura_fan]

actually...the major conflict is between Micah and my parent's not accepting him and not loving him for who he is....and it's just a hard thing to see happen....

[Roy Mustang]

I will be praying.

Praying. I hope things work out.

[bakura_fan]

well, things seem to be a bit better..my parent's and Micah are willing to try and work things out...so I hope all goes well. Thanks for your prayers!
