Huh? To most people, running a fever means your body has a high temperature (very warm -hot). Besides, how do we know if she mentioned that word "hot" when she talked about her fever?
It doesn't matter anyway, my only point was not to throw all the apples out because of a bad one. ;) A good point, yes?
I guess her preference is for smooth skin. Is that a reason to break up with her? Well, if she wants you smooth (she is an athlete so this is not surprising - many male athletes body shave), and you really would prefer not to be, then of course there is a problem.
Just how big an issue is this with your girlfriend? Would she break up with you if you refused the shaving session? It may be just her preference, and you are pleasing her by going along with it.
But if you really dislike the ritual and it is not worth it to you to please her, you might be happier with a woman who loves a a bear of a man.
Talk it out with your g/f. Perhaps there are deeper things bothering you and part of you wants out. In the end only you know the answer to your question.
You need to know where your ex's heart is now, if he would support you in the future or hurt you that badly again.
If nothing has changed, it is hard to stop loving old flames, but you need someone you can trust for a real relationship and to protect your heart. As he was not there for you when you truly needed him, he didn't really care for you then. We support and protect those we love.
You need to talk about this matter with him and understand what happened, be assured things will be different as he apologizes for failing you, or you will be taking a very big chance on further hurt. Even then it is just words until they are proven. At this point, he doesn't seem to know why it ended, not a good sign for his sensitivity to you.
Bottom line: you won't be able to push this under the rug.
I agree that God speaks to us through the Spirit. (Spirit to spirit - heart to heart). I don't think I ever heard an audible voice...if I did I would worry, lol. That is why we need to be quiet and listen for His voice in our hearts - otherwise all the noise and activity drives out His voice from our lives.
These words give testimony from His Spirit: Know the Lord in His presence, and learn in His presence. AMEN. What are your daily ways to be in His presence? For me it would be prayer, meditation, and Scripture reading. I am open to learning more ways.
I believe the Lord protects America when its people trust in His Name (in God we trust). Once we stop doing that (which we are well on our way) I fear for our future.
Also, America has often come to the aid of Israel, His chosen nation according to Scripture and symbolic of those He has chosen/a people close to His heart.
Christians need to be open to God's grace for it to be transforming. Most Christians are so full of the world and their own desires, they fail in being a good witness for Christ. As long as a Christian is lord of their own life Jesus is not really sovreign. Happened even in His time, "Why do you call me Lord and do not the things I say?"
There are some holy Christians that bring God's love to others. They are the wheat among the weeds. It is only when we open up to God's grace and let go of our selfishness that we are any different from non-Christians. We have to allow our hearts to be changed...a very tough assignment.
I think it's part of our purpose to help others. Living just for ourselves is very empty.
Just be careful that you don't allow others to use you, or negate your own needs. Also, don't expect gratitude from everyone, or you will be hurt. Giving must be for the act itself.
You sound like a wonderful person. Best of luck to you!
It never ceases to amaze me how full of hate agnostics are toward God. If He doesn't exist, why carry on a rampage against His existence? You say that it has not been proven, but what man has created life?
Atheists have not disproven God with Darwinism, a failed evolutionary theory now dying on the tree. Darwinism lies on the belief that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor. Because of the tremendous advances made in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology in the last fifty years, we have learned that there are tens of thousands of irreducibly complex systems on the cellular level, a fact completely crushing Darwin's theory.
Then I would say you should think before getting married, because if a child enters the picture you may be taking care of more people than yourself. Also, if one partner becomes ill or unable to work. You may say you don't want to get married but a lot of relationships are roads in that direction (at least for those who want a family at some point in their lives).
If you tend to give a lot (gifts, money) to your girlfriends, or pay their electric bill, this might encourage the expectation to be taken care of. Show your feelings about independence at the beginning of the relationship and then you won't have the same problem with these types of women. Look for women who have financial security and understand and accept your feelings.
It's funny you should use the word crumbling because that is exactly what I feel God has been showing me lately in my life...that He wants us to have Faith even when everything around is otherwise (crumbling). Fragile faith must become strong faith.
I believe that God works through people and situations to answer our prayers, as another poster stated. To give an example, I have a dysfunctional family. We had a recent medical emergency of one of the family members that brought us and this dysfunction to the forefront. I found myself being treated so badly by some of my relatives that I told God when it was all over I would move away and did not care if I ever spoke or saw them again. I was convinced they did not care about me and there was nothing there to hold onto.
Not long after, I spoke to these family members and their attitude had completely changed. They were very kind, supportive, and basically blew me away with the reversal.
Keep the faith! I hope your prayer is answered regarding your little girl and you are able to be that father she so needs.
If we want to witness for Christ, we can't do it in a contrary spirit or we flail helplessly against it. As stated, Christ judges our souls in a private and personal encounter. His image in us is what we need in response to contention.
