Hi there,
I have had long distance relationships as well. My most recent was only 2 1/2 hours away. We met on a Christian dating site. We dated for 2 years. God blessed me in my life and I got a job that brought me only 40 min away from this gentleman. However, let me say this.. we both had issues that God had to work out in our lives. We were dating amongst the things that God needed to deal with. We were sexually involved, which God did not want. We declared sexual purity this past January. I moved here in April. I told God the new job was not about the money, nor my friend. It was about where God wanted me. I broke up with my boyfriend within the last month. I knew it was what God wanted. You see, we both had not dealt with some serious issues in our lives. I still tried to control things my way. That just did not work! Now that I have put all in God's hands it is amazing the things that are happening. I have been led to an amazing church, the nicest home I have ever rented, led to a Celebrate recovery meeting to be a leader, and so much more. My friend is being led now by God to seek help with his issues. My counselor told me the best thing to do is to break away and if this is truly from God , all will be shown. This is where ya got to have faith and PATIENCE. In the meantime, I keep filling myself with God and having him be my husband for now as he prepares a Godly husband for me. Will it be this person that I loved for 2 years? God knows. He sees all and he does show if we just sit still and listen. Have a great day Faithwoman |

Greg: If I read this correctly, you haven't met in person yet?
I certainly cannot tell you whether or not this is right for both of you. That's between the both of you and God. ![]() My first advice is that if you haven't met in person, find a way to get together SOON! I "met" my wife on the Internet. I was living in Colorado and she was living in Pennsylvania. God opened many doors for us to be together. I had just started a new job and I actually had just gone on vacation, so I wasn't sure I would be able to take any time off to go visit her. Well, God opened the doors to allow that to happen and I went and visited her. After that weekend (in April) we decided that I would move to Pennsylvania. The lease on my apartment expired in May and I found someone to take my apartment after I moved out. There was a house right across the street from her that was available and everything "fell into place" for me to buy the house before I moved out there. After moving out to Pennsylvania (with no job lined up) a job became available. We got married the following year and we've been together 10 years now and have three kids! ![]() ETA: I just re-read your post - We can't meet for at least a year now, so you haven't met in person yet and you've known each other online for over five years? Greg! Buy yourself a plane ticket and get your butt up to Canada right now! Last edited by Photog4Christ; 08-27-2008 at 11:19 PM. |
