Reference "Introductions-'Our Polygamy Story'"
First off I must say I was in quite the quandary of where to post this, but finally realizing that this is a lot for God still to accomplish I decided that it would best fit here. A few months ago I posted "Our Polygamy Story" which gives a brief history (Testimony) on how God has almost brought us to what I hope and pray is God glorifying PM. Let me bring you up to speed on what has been going on. For the last several months I have been as some have said on the forums stacking up a mountain of fleeces to confirm that God is in this relationship. Where to begin, out of all the people I listed in "Our Polygamy Story" only the pastor of our current church (which we have not attended for long) disagreed fairly vehemently with biblical polygamy. Fey agrees that it is Biblical but is not sure it is for her. (This is a prayer request). I have discussed with the movers and shakers in my family that it is indeed biblical who were quite shocked when they asked what I was going to do with the information and I responded become polygamous. They were equally shocked when they found out that my Wife Sue was totally on board. Sue's friend since they were very small did not respond very well to the idea and said this is the sin that caused the flood (Prayer for that relationship would be much appreciated.) Pastor Rich our mentor and child's Godfather along with his wife agreed that polygamy was Biblical though his wife said it was against the law (several times) and he doubted the merit of it in this day and age, but more for his wife's sake then anything else. Lets see besides those conversations over the last few months it has been amazing to watch God work in Fey's life as I have been praying for her every day. She is still getting over a hard break up (Which was with my best friend) and on top of that had seeds of bitterness growing in her heart towards God and life in general. In only a few short weeks of posting Our Polygamy Story she got a boyfriend who was not a Christian and rebelliously confessed that she was doing this even though she knew it was not the 'best'. God taught me a lot here because even though her rebellious actions were not really becoming of my love I was able to give it to her without hesitation. In ways God is showing us how he loves us even when were are rebellious towards him. Regardless after about a month of praying for her (and only two weeks with this guy) she broke up and though for a couple of weeks after that she still desired to have a guy in her life; God really worked in her heart. The difference from then and now are almost like night and day. She was planning on leaving to California just to leave but God has basically taken that desire away and she is staying. Please pray that I do not move to fast but neither to slow, but at God's perfect pace.
Here is our plan. This weekend we are going to talk to her Pastor Rich and his wife again (her pastor as well and the father and mother of her Ex-boyfriend) and pretty much tell them of my intentions toward her and see what they have to say about it. Although my best friend her Ex had told me that she was all mine and to go for it ... several months before I was really all okay with the idea of polygamy ... I am going to confirm that he has not further intentions with her. After that we are not sure what to do ... it does depend on their responses. However, I would like to talk to her parents about polygamy and make sure they are not broadsided with this news, but at the same time know that convincing them may take a long long time (all matters to pray about). Lately I have felt really motivated to ask Alaynna to give us a chance and see if she did not warm up to polygamy, but I do like Nathan's approach of being a really good friend to her first (I am just a good friend right now). The thing is that she does not really let guys be really good friends. Prayer, prayer and more prayer. God will work it out in the end, really it is only going to happen if he is involved. As my wife says if we become polygamous we are going to be forcing almost three small towns to take one side or the other on the issue. (More prayer) Thanks again for your prayer and support.
