Living together in sin...
Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2009 2:08 pm
After 54 years, in and out of the darkness, the Word has finally
sunk in and I am painfully aware of most of my sins.
The most painful being that I have been living with a woman for 16 years
(no kids),and am in need of guidance about separating or getting married.
I met her during my darkest days as a bartender and do not believe
that I ever was in love with her (and I believe that I am still not), yet
we are friends that have a lot of problems communicating with each
other and living with each other.
When it came to me about my sexual immorality (fornication) in
this situation, I immediately moved out of the bedroom and down
stairs(no friction over that), but, I am still living with a woman that
I have no plans of marrying and am EXTREMELY concerned with
pleasing God and doing his will in everything that I do.
My gut tells me, even if we're "just friends" that it is not right
to live in the same house with each other...
Now Santa Cruz is very expensive and we have no money to live
separately, yet I am willing to do anything to right this situation, but
I do not want to put her in danger (I have just enough income and she
has none). She has trouble walking and cannot work much. I couldn't
bare to see her in the streets of Santa Cruz. We have no friends or
relatives because we cut off everyone in our lives until we were alone
in the darkness...
She is a wonderful, Jesus believing person that is extremely "sensitive"
and I am not separating to find another woman or have sex somewhere
else. I am devoted to God from here on out, yet Paul said something to
the effect of not changing your situation in these days...
I hope someone can understand this quick explanation of my situation
enough to be able to guide me if possible (Steve?).
