Personal Issues / Relationship Leading to Marriage?
« on: June 16, 2009, 02:00:33 AM »
hello everyone,
I need some advice on a relationship with a girl i have recently become friends with. We are both sophomores in college and are both good Christians. we have recently gotten to know each other and we have a lot in common.. etc.. we have known each other for a little over a month now and we have been friends for about a month. I feel some "chemistry" between us as we have gotten closer and have become better friends. To be honest, I am somewhat attracted to her but i realize that personality is the most important aspect and that it should stay that way. I really like her and i feel like she is "the one" for me and that we could be a perfect match for each other, but i dont know if she feels the same way. My purpose for this relationship is for marriage and nothing but marriage. I have also prayed about this situation many times and have asked God to help me. I dont think i am ready for marriage at the moment, but i will be graduating in 3 years so should be making a steady income soon after. I really feel like she is the perfect girl for me and I dont want her to slip away. I realize that we are only friends at the moment but i dont know what else to do. what would be the right thing for me to do?
Since this topic would most likely require first-hand experience, please keep this topic to members 18 and older. Thanks.
Please pray for me and for my weakness!

Faith Issues / Re: PRAYER...[EXTREMLEY IMPORTANT]!
« on: May 06, 2009, 11:21:40 AM »How can you be praying if you're not concentrating on what the deacon is saying? The deacon says "And Look towards the East".
If you just stopped daydreaming out of the window and just concentrated for a minute, you might just grow a bit more spiritually.
God be with you.
Not to start an argument here, but I dont think your comment was necessary at all! It could have just been a mistake, we are all humans, so just calm down QT.
"Do not judge so that you will not be judged." Matthew 7:1
May the Lord have mercy upon us all and forgive us our sins.
God Bless you all and please pray for me and my weakness.

Coptic Orthodox Church / Re: Irini Pasi
« on: April 15, 2009, 10:43:11 PM »
Abouna told me once that when he says Irini Pasi, it is actually Christ Himself who is speaking through the mouth of the priest. We are in the presence of God in His house, why wouldn't you make the Sign of the Cross on yourself?? God is speaking and we are in His presence. It is out of respect.
please pray for me and my weakness!!
