@Roland: in my life, I've come upon some dark times personally. Even through that, though, God through his people has helped me stand through it. It's an incredibly comforting thought to me that He's not only with me in the light when things are good, but also the shadows, when life (by human standards at least) could be better.
@Basillisa: Not sure why you assume that it's an abomination or God-ignoring. Our preacher teaches the Bible and I've grown a lot there. I actually used to be a member of a Southern Baptist Church, and God used that church to help me to grow closer to him. However, he led me to another church so I could grow in different ways. God leads us all differently sister
@Mary: I have a couple of brothers, and two parents who love me and are still together. I'm not married yet, actually, but instead am looking for a Godly woman and trying to use my time as a single to honor God as well. Still a virgin though!
