You knew I would reply, didn't you?
Well, I know I've talked to you a bit about this, but I guess things might have changed since then. First of all, I'm really glad to see you being positive about him accepting that this specific young man accept what his parents have laid down as guide lines for him. That's a very good thing.
About this guy who wants to date you: If you don't like him, definitely don't date him. That's just leading him on and it's wasting your precious heart on someone who you aren't seriously interested in. I would hate to see you spend any of your heart on some one who wasn't worth it.
Secondly, do you know about this guy spiritually. If you're not sure about where he stands with Jesus, then I beg you to stay away from him. There's just so much heart ache connected to that, and the last thing you seem to need now is more reason to be hurt.
How can D--*mumble mumble* just stop liking you? Not too very long ago, I considered this very question. It made me mad. It made me confused, and it made me hurt. I know, atleast part of, what you're dealing with. It isn't fun. But I think part of the way that someone might "stop loving someone" is that they get into a relationship and then they figure out that the reasons they're in that relationship are wrong or that this relationship is causing them to stumble. I think that we both know that D--*mumble mumble*, felt like he was doing things his parents wouldn't want him to do. Plus, sometimes people change. As you two grow, there will just be natural ways that you'll mture into different people. Sometimes, people get to a point where they realize that the person they were when they started something isn't the person they are now. Or that the person they started dating isn't the person now that they were when they started the relationship.
At this point, I think you're doing the righ thing by stepping back. I'll be praying for you, as I do already, that you'll both have wisdow to handle this and that God will tell you both what's best for your sweet, tender little hearts.
And I'm sorry this is hurting you right now, darlin'. I love you SOOO much, and I just hate seeing the both of you having to deal with something so painful. PM me or IM me if you want to talk about this ever, k?
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
