Love desicion
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??
I dont want to abandon my faith,but dont want to loose my love!

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
Have you ever heard the expression "The perfect is the enemy of the good"? This man that you love may not be perfect for you. He may not believe everything you believe. Your family might not approve of him. But, I bet he is good for you. I bet he loves you. I bet he makes you happy. And I bet that love is a gift from God.
You are a human being. You are not perfect, and you will not be no matter how hard you try. Even if you think that in a perfect world you would have a man with beliefs exactly the same as yours who your family loved, that is not the way things have turned out. God gave you this man. It may not be what you or your parents planned, but you love him. And true love comes from God.
Is it bad that your want to stay with him? No. As human beings, our desires are never perfect. Our feelings are complicated. Life isn't that easy.
What matters isn't whether or not you follow the law of God exactly. What matters is that you love God with all of your heart. God understands our humanity. He does not expect us to be perfect. And He blesses us every chance he can, regardless of how imperfect we are.
Follow your human heart. Stay with the man, and pray to God for guidance on how to make the relationship work despite your differences. God must have put this man in your life for a reason.
