Have you asked yourself if you're in the right places to meet a Godly woman? I'm 21, single, and at college. I feel ya man. I've got nothing against party's. I go to the ones where I know that either: a) the people who are there for the sole reason of getting trashed are in the minority or b)there won't be any alcohol at all (Yes, such parties exist. No, they don't suck. To be honest, the dry parties are usually alot better...especially if you throw in some home-cookin'[8D] the cool part about type (a) party is that the since majority of us are sober we can keep the drinkin' people out of trouble. Both at the party and on the way home. Sidenote: You gotta learn how to handle drunk people while sober) I go to bars with my buddies maybe once or twice a month. All the bars in this town are actually resturaunts, they have to be since its a semi-dry county. We don't drink, and we go when we know they'll be other people not drinking. We go to hang out and meet our other friends (some of whom will have a beer or two and stop) and enjoy ourselves. BUT I DO NOT PLAN on meeting Godly women at those places. Could she be there in the same way as me? Just there with a group of her friends, socializing and having a meal or meeting new people? Sure. Is it likely? No. Now if I met a girl I know from class who is a 'good girl'...and we sort of hit it off and it even comes up that she's a christian but half hour later she's holding a beer and dancing...."that way" with a guy. Her salvation isn't mine to decide. After all, she can always declare the classic line that "I wasn't drunk, it was one beer. And it's just dancing, nothing happened. Honestly." (I know a few like this...its just the way they were raised, they see nothing wrong with it.) I think I have to freedom to take her out of the running for "Godly Women" and certainly out of the running as someone I would want to marry someday. You've recently asked about going to church....yeah, um, hello? That's about as good as place as any bud!!! Now if you to go meet women, you've got it AAALLLL wrong. But if you're in the market for a truck, and not just any truck...you want a Chevy, right? Doesn't make much sense to avoid all the licensed GM dealers!!!! If you're looking for corn, don't spend all day in wheat fields.
A trouble here is if you struggle with drinking it is NOT smart to put yourself in these types of situations. One and your witness is blown...2 is easier after one....3 is easier after 2...................................
Also, how do the think the Godly women see you? 'Studies show'[8D] that 10 out of 10 Godly women are looking for, and interested, in Godly men. Are you 'eligible'? Again, if you just put on a front in order to get a girl, you won't ever be happy and if she truely is a Godly woman she'll see through it in short time. It would be like taking 2 steps forward and 36 back, you'll get nowhere in a hurry.

Fred..
I will be praying for you this year about that subject. God bless Fred,Fred, can you post a picture of yourself. I'm a visual person and would like to see who I'm talking too.
If you have asked God for a good, Godly woman to come into your life, then quit worrying about it and just trust in Him, and know that everything will come to those who are faithful , and asks, but only in HIS TIME. In Gods eyes, you may not be ready for the woman He has picked out for you, and so He is growing you and growing your faith.
As God has Commanded you, His people, to not be unequally yoked , God has also commanded Her to not be unequally yoked. You have asked Him, now show yourself faithful and work on getting your life right with Him so that He may bless you with Her.
P.S. - you have asked Him to handle it, so don't try to force it or do it your own way now...... it could lead to disasterous consequences. Like a relationship from HE**, where you are miserable, and she brings you down and into the " world ".
You must remember you are going to be the other part of the marriage. You too have to be a blessing to a young lady. Have you ever wondered if your finished maturing. Do you have the wisdom to be the leader of a Christian marriage. It takes millions of years for a lump of coal to become a diamond, give God time to make you the husband a Christian girl will receive. You don't want to short change her do you? Bob
These are your words, do they sound wise?
There are times when I dont really want to go to church. I am not 100% focused on God every day. Its hard sometimes I have school, you work, family. Then you have other things like watching sports, hunting, etc. That I would rather do then say maybe read the bible. Is this thinking wrong? Also I am not a big reader of anything. Its more fun to watch sports or something. I know I shouldnt be like this. I believe but am not 100% focused. Is this alright?
Don't give up looking for her. God will provide a good Christian woman to you in time I'm sure. Don't forget the scripture about being unequally yoked to a non-believe. Pray and never settle for anything less.

About the only place I can really meet a woman is at school. The church I go to is mainly just older people. I have talked with my pastor about this and he said let God bring you one. I am alright with that. I not very socialiable espically around women. If I see a cute girl across the room I am to afriad to go up to her and start talking. In this day in age guys have to make the first move.

And these older people have daughters and grand daughters. If they see you attending church, loving the Lord, and walking in a meaningful Christian lifestyle, whose to say they would not want to set up a meeting between you and their family member.
This should certainly not be your reason for going to church, but there are ways for God to make His will happen, other than having a good looking woman member of the church,standing there at the door of the church waithing to greet you the minute you get there. People have friends, and family and coworkers they might want you to meet, but you may have to get your life in Christ in order first.
As I said before, you need to be able to be a blessing to the one He sends to you, as she will be a blessing unto you. You may have to show your worthyness for a while first, though.
