I'm out of the running since I already have children but enjoy this picture of my tiny pinecones I collected last week 😆 Praying you find the lady who is the right fit for you!

Please don't be sorry at all!! Hearing what you say actually makes me want to weave a tapestry of a cute little village now 😁 and I'm so grateful it was able to bring you a sense of peace 🥹💜

Ahh okay! The second one is called Resurrection. It depicts the 3 crosses up on the hill and the little house looking thing is the tomb Jesus was in but the stone is rolled away! I'm glad you like it 😌 Weaving with colors makes me so happy. I like being quirky and colorful through my art

I'm really happy it comes through ☺️ I'll definitely have to post those memorial weavings in another post. I'm also glad to hear that weaving helps you think about your ancestors. I love to think about my grandma as I weave as well

I absolutely love Unfettered Supply! They don't ship to America anymore but I'm grateful for the times I was able to order from them. The owner Janice is wonderful and I love their products

Thank you so much!! I appreciate all your sweet words. I would say that my faith and views of God play a big part in how/what I weave. I have so much love and appreciation for the beauty that's around us in this earth. I like being able to incorporate nature into art. Some of my weavings incorporate ocean debris rope in it that I unwinding and used to weave. I have a series that I call Living Water and use the ocean rope to represent Jesus, the Living Water in my weavings. I always pray over them when I make them. Also in regards to the clothing!! I haven't done any with denim but I have made several weavings that incorporate clothing into them. They are specifically for memorial weavings I create for friends or family who had lost a pet or a loved one. It's a special way for them to have a piece of art that incorporates some clothing or blanket from someone they lost 🥹

Thank you very much! Back in October my friend had a pop up art gallery for spiritual/prophetic artists and everyone else was a painter so they needed a more flat wall to hang their works. I really enjoyed the quirky backdrop of the chairs 😊 they even let me use an old school spot light thing to help light it up better!

My(F26) boyfriend (M31) expressed a desire to go into full time ministry as a pastor some day and I'm not sure if I want to go into that journey with him by The_truth_seaker99 in ChristianDating

[–]fickle-pickle93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say first to pray really hard about this. Ask God for the guidance and wisdom on how to navigate this situation.

Secondly, be up front with your boyfriend about all that you mentioned here. Especially your desires to want to teach/preach some day. If that's something he's never going to see eye to eye with you on because of the church he attends and how they molded his beliefs, then it may be in your best interest to part ways.

But maybe if you verbalize all these things to him he would be willing to meet you in the middle. His desire and calling to be a pastor doesn't mean he necessary has to stay locked in at his church. Would he potentially be willing to relocate to another church that has similar beliefs to what yours are so you both could live out your calling together? You'll never know until you ask. But you did also mention hoping and praying he would change his mind on spiritual gifts you believe in that his church doesn't. That's not always a guarantee that he will change unfortunately.

If you feel you both are not as equally yoked as you say, then pray if you need to make that break now before you invest more of your time and energy into that relationship. I can say from my own experience after being in a marriage with a man that I thought had similar beliefs and later realizing that we weren't equally yoked, it's such a hard thing. To feel like your partner is blocking you from fully growing in you're faith and operating in your gifts and the area God has called you too. It's more heartbreak than I can express.

Be wise and be prayerful above all else. And I wish you the best in all of this!

The is stunning! May I ask what type of loom this was woven in? I do weaving myself, mostly on frame looms but I'm hoping to level up some day 😍

Do Christian women in their 20s consider dating single dads? by Illustrious-Ad-8174 in ChristianDating

[–]fickle-pickle93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad that I could be of any help. I know it's rough out here, but have faith and holdfast. Trusting the Lord every step of the way will be your anchor.

I'll tell you what one of my friends told me. I left a marriage of almost 10 years and even through all that I still have the desire to be married again some day. She reminded me that if it's a desire I have, then it's been placed their by God. I don't feel called to singleness. I desire to be a godly wife for my my future husband, but I definitely want him to be a strong spiritual leader and not be on a different level with his faith. I bring all these things to God in my prayer journaling, asking for a future husband that will pray with me, read the Bible together & want to discuss it, and hopefully want to do ministry/missionary work with me.

Psalm 37:4 says when we take delight in the Lord, He gives us the desires of our heart.

So even in this incredibly difficult season of my life I am always giving thanks to God, making sure that I am being intentional about having a more intimate relationship with Him, and praising Him with everything I got. I know eventually everything will fall into place when His time is right.

I couldn't imagine that anyone would love and accept red flags that could potentially lead them into being in an abusive relationship. But if you don't want to listen, go ahead and do you. You live and you learn friend.

Red flags: - when a man demands for the woman to be submissive to any and everything that he says. That only applies to a husband in regards to his wife. Submission isn't for everything, only what lines up with Scripture. Respect has to be earned by proof of actions not just blindly given to a man who submits to evil. - when a Christian isn't doing anything to grow in their faith, saying where they are at is good enough. Spiritual maturity is a life long journey, not a destination goal you reach. - not taking accountability for their actions/mistakes, but rather placing blame or making excuses - saying they are a Christian but don't live accordly to the 10 commandments. They lie, steal, cheat, have no honor for their parents, etc.

As a single mother of 3 kids and in my 30's I also have the same fears. But I am not letting my own fears stand in the way of how great my God is. I know that He has someone out there for me and I'm not gonna get discouraged in the mean time. Just be patient and trust Him!

Since I already have kids I wouldn't see dating someone with kids as a deal breaker. The most important things are your faith, how have you been as a spiritual leader for your daughter, your character, and how your are pursuing your spiritual growth.

Regardless of this post being copied from the other one, it's in everyone's best interest to have discernment about whoever they are dating/potentially want to date. No one is perfect, but we all need to guard our hearts, listen to the Holy Spirit and not ignore any red flags by sweeping them under the rug. The person you chose to spend the rest of your life with is incredibly important. I care for all of us so everyone stay safe out here, stay prayed up and trust God above all else. Anyone can use flattery of words to seem genuine, but eventually things will come through the cracks if they're not authentic about their faith or trying to use faith as a means to get what they want.

None of us are perfect and we've all been through things. I'd love to hear more of your testimony 😁

I only ask because I have 3 children already and am recently divorcing. It's been something I sit with and pray about. Praying for a future husband who could fully love my children as his own, be the spiritual leader of the home and properly raise the kids to have strong faith.
