[__ Prayer __] I don't know how to be open...

[Nicole L. Sattler]

About 2 years ago I moved to a foreign country. I love it here, but I am having a hard time breaking out of my shell. I have always been a shy person, but I am really sick of it now. I know that God did not give us a spirit of fear, but I seem to be filled with fears. I don't know how to get past them.

I have troubles with being social and speaking the new language (because of shyness). I have made 2 friends since I moved here (which is better than none), but I don't think that is good enough.

I would be so grateful if somebody would pray that I can receive strength to overcome my fears. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you,
Nikki

I DID wonder what a person with YOUR name was doing in MEXICO!

I can't think of a reason I'd ever even consider moving there.

Haha... sorry if I confused you. I moved here to get married. I suppose I can go a bit into the story... (I am a bit worried, though, because the last time I did on another forum I got judged for it) It is has nothing to do with the request.

Like I said, I moved here to get married. I have known the guy a little over 4 years, and we have been together for about 3. He is from here in Mexico, so we need special permission to have a civil marriage. That is why I am so interested about what constitutes marriage and posted an opinion thread about the subject.

That is what Christians do: They judge one another. Sometimes, it's done in the right spirit, sometimes not.

Your relationship is between you and God. I cannot imagine what hoops you will be required to jump thru to get married in a foreign country.
