Thanks :) So... Hello everyone, I was hoping for a few thoughts on this situation, as it means a lot to me and I really need help figuring this out. Thanks :)

So here's the background to the situation:

I met a guy who I fell completely in love with. I have never felt this way about anyone, and he has told me he feels the same way. Well, to make a long story short, he has a friend/ex gf who was jealous of the attention I was getting from my bf and she tried to tear us apart, and while that factor didn't really break us up, I couldn't get over it, and our fighting broke us up.

I was very upset by the breakup because, although we had our issues, I know we still really cared about each other, and I felt like we were meant to be together. So, not knowing where else to turn, I began praying for he and I to work things out and eventually get back together. I had faith that this would happen. And in time, he and I began to talk and work things out and now we're back together. The problem is, the girl who tried to break us up is still in his life, and she continues to hurt me (although not as much as she used to) and she continues to play games with my bf and she hurts him and uses him, but he won't admit it. It really hurts me to see this girl hurting both my bf and me and I just want the pain to stop. I find myself getting upset and crying often because I care about him so much and I feel powerless against the situation. I know he cares about me, but he won't end his friendship with her. Since my prayers were answered with my bf and I getting back together, I began to pray very intensely about this situation, praying for her to go away and for her games to stop so my bf and I can move on with our life together. I have a few friends who I've been confiding in about it and they are also praying for me. My prayers have been unanswered so far. I know I've only been praying about it for a few months and I know prayers aren't always answered right away. But I'm at a point where I'm beginning to lose my faith and I don't know what to do. I fear that I'm beginning to go down a bad road, and I don't want to. I'm beginning to wonder if my bf and I will ever be rid of this pain and game playing, and I wonder if I should just give up and end the relationship or keep fighting for the relationship and keep praying. I just don't think I can take this girl much longer. Although I've only been praying about the situation for a few months, I've been dealing with it for almost 2 years now.

I really need help and support in this matter, as I am greatly suffering. I would like to hear your ideas on faith and prayers being answered please based on my situation. Thank you so much for your input :o ]]> Ash20 http://www.loveshack.org/forums/showthread.php?t=210542 http://www.loveshack.org/forums/showthread.php?t=210464&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:02:56 GMT Recently my cousin dragged me to some tarot/metaphysics/nutjob convention, really didn't believe any of the stuff they were doing. Cousin then says she wants us to get aura reading, she does hers first, I zone out through most of it but think it is some dumb vague horoscope stuff that anyone can apply to their life. I then hesitantly go, just give the guy my mothers and my birthdate, he then proceeds to describe my personality accurately, my SAD, issues with mother controlling life, fact I cant get laid/scared of everything, etc etc. Basically turned me a little bit into a believer but I've been trying to google it and cannot find anything about it. It was called Sumerian cipherology, and he said it was completely different from numerology, all I've found is some excerpts from a book here: http://www.sumero-cyfrologia.com/eng/tom1/rozdz3.htm. It was in Poland so it may have a different name, but can anyone help me with finding out more info on this or pointing me in right direction?

GENEVA (AP) — Islamic nations are mounting a campaign for an international treaty to protect religious symbols and beliefs from mockery — essentially, a ban on blasphemy.

Documents obtained by The Associated Press show that Algeria and Pakistan have taken the lead in lobbying to bring the matter to a vote in the U.N. General Assembly.

Such a ban would face great resistance in Western nations that enshrine freedom of expression as a fundamental right.

The countries that form the 56-member Organization of the Islamic Conference are currently lobbying a Geneva-based U.N. committee to accept its plan, a first step for it to eventually be put before the General Assembly.

If that occurs, Muslim countries and their allies in the developing world would stand a decent chance of mustering the simple majority needed in the General Assembly to adopt such a treaty. ]]> Midnight Rider http://www.loveshack.org/forums/showthread.php?t=210381
