• Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.

12 years later - let me reintroduce myself

Shalom and welcome back.

Long ago and far away I have interacted on the forum as a first wife. You can search the name "SeekingGrace" on the forums to see more of that if you wish. I would say that I am not the same person I was back then having been a widow of 7 years now. I hope that y'all can give some grace if I am short on specifics at the moment of my journey so far. My husband died very tragically and it has been a very slow path to healing for me and my children. The path really sent me all over the spectrum of spirituality but has thankfully, as I always knew it would, brought me right back to Christ. I hope there is understanding if I choose not to be so publicly vulnerable with my story, but I hope to be able to be more open as time goes on.c

I can't figure out how to get my on my old screen name so I will post with my new one. I feel like new "me" so perhaps this is for the best. I hope to interact more with everyone and I appreciate the community.

Edited to add that I have 4 children

Hello Pretty Lady. I for one welcome you, and would like to just say hello.
 
I haven't been very active on the forum in the past year, so perhaps it is time for an update. Although my first experience being approached by and getting to know on the forum was great - he was quite a gentlemen and was very respectful of me - I had a bad experience the second time and I just basically ran away from the thought of plural marriage. Even left a community adjacent to this one with very kind people bc how I was treated in a completely unrelated situation. It was all too much for me at the time. A year on, I realize my basic belief system is quite different from many here and it is better not to really engage much socially, but I do come often to read the biblical discussions. I appreciate everyone's kind words of welcome on my post last year and I hope this put a little more context into my situation. I am in a monogamous relationship now, but I feel this forum is still beneficial to my life.

@Tamara Thank you for the update. I also enjoy reading the content here but hold a different belief than most it seems. For lack of a better term, I consider myself a plural marriage Evangelical Christian. I'd be interested in your experiences and what you dealt with. I'm not currently looking for a second, so that isn't my interest. I would like to meet more non-Torahist.

I wouldn't put myself in the evangelical Christian or non-torahist category. For me, Jesus is the way and I also speak in tongues. I considered myself evangelical most of my adult life and then my husband died and everything changed except for Jesus being the Way, the Truth and the Life. That is all that has remained. I have a respect for TK and Evangelicals but I am not on either path. I am still processing how I feel about patriarchy vs. egalitarianism but I do not bring it up here or contribute to conversation regarding it bc I understand the standing of Biblical Families and respect that. Some stuff is just too personal with me to put in a public forum to be dissected in certain ways. So, I said all that to say that I am not sure I am in the category of people you may want to meet more of, but I am not opposed to having a chat.
