I am too old and out of shape to beat around the bush so I'll give it to you straight. If you want sugarcoating go to the candy store, you won't find it here. Sometimes a little good old fashioned honesty is just what the doctor ordered!

hen I was 12 years old,I met a young man about 13.We met in church.We hanged out alot and we were close.He left the church with his dad who was singing there at the time.
I am 24 now and he is 25
I moved to another state,and he is still in California
3 years ago we got back in touch through Facebook.At first we were texting and talking always,and throughout this period we had times of seperation due to personal problems,not neccesarily with eachother. The times that we kept texting we just kept getting closer and closer.And we love eachother.
We are planning to see eachother in September.Ive saved money and Im happy.
The problem is is that I have beliefs.I am not Jewish,but I keep Shabbat and Bibical Feasts.And the Bible clearly states that I cant be un-evenly yoked with a non-believer.He does not believe in any of this stuff,whereas,I havent talked much about it.Hes very serious about me and wants to marry me.My mom is very strict about our Bibical beliefs and she won't have a heathen with her daughter.I also don't want to go to hell and lose the beautifullness I have with this man that I love.I feel torn.Should I stay or tell him goodbye and be with someone who shares in what I believe? I dont want to leave him,even thinking has left me crying for hours at a time.Please,what do I do??

Issues of faith are something that must be taken very seriously, especially if you plan to marry and have children. You really must have this talk with him as soon as possible. Have you explained to your boyfriend how important your faith is to you and your family? If he is serious perhaps he will consider converting but perhaps not practicing the faith. If he refuses to do this then you will have to decide how important it is to you to continue in your faith. You will also be risking your relationship with your family. If he loves you I believe he will probably make this concession for you even if he chooses not to practice it.Good luck!
