Hi all.
This is full on.
I'm Christian. I was Christian growing up, and by that, i mean i really knew Jesus. Veered away between 15 and 20, came back about 9 months ago...anywho...
I've been with this guy for almost four years. We love each other heaps, but we struggle with our own stuff. I decided that if we were gonna make it (ie; get married, kids, etc), he would have to get his pot habit in order and i would have to get my head together (depression, suicide, etc).
So we moved apart about three weeks ago. I'm now living with some Christian friends (they're fantastic people).
My friend John from church helped us move. On the second day, I think we were moving some of Pete's stuff (boyfriend), and i was talking to him out the front. Pete and i just hugged goodbye, and John and i were talking about something concerning the logistics of the move. Then a voice from within me, loud and clear, said "this is the man you're gonna marry".
Whoa!!!
I truly believe it was God (Holy Spirit dwells within us). It came from that place in your tummy, the part of u that u discern stuff with, like when u walk in2 a room and somethin feels wrong. U know what i mean...
So i was kind of startled, like "where did that come from?"...i looked away, but then i looked up again, and kind of stared past him so i didn't look silly. Since then, i've just seen light in him. It's not because it's suddenly appeared, it's because it's been revealed to me.
So a week ago, i broke up with Pete. He's pretty devastated, but i'm just at such peace.
I haven't spoken 2 John about it, but i know he's been praying for a wife, and from my experiences with praying with him, his prayers are always answered. They are so powerful.
I can't wait to come back here and tell u all about it when it's happened :-)
He is honestly the most amazing person i've ever met.
God bless U all :-)
