coincidence

I am new to Christian naturism, and I have posted here before. My wife and I do not agree on this topic. Recently I put my profile on FLF, hoping to make contact with somone that could relate to my situation. For awhile I was the only listing for my state. A few days ago, a new listing was added, so I made contact. I could not believe this person was not only from the same small town, but we belong to the same church. On top of that, my wife knows both spouses. I have not, and will not, until they are comfortable, identify them to her, but she knows they exist. Is there such a thing as a coincidence.

I have heard a coincidence better called a minor miracle (are any miracles minor ?) where God chooses to remain anonymous.

Go very slowly and carefully with how you proceed. Pray for guidance and discuss the situation with those involved before you "out" anybody. These fellow church members may not be comfortable with anyone in their home church knowing about their lifestyle. That can get ugly quick. All it takes is one small slip of the tongue.

Pray, pray, pray, and then pray some more. Let your wife move at her own speed. Show her your beliefs, and why you feel being a nudist is beneficial and not non-scriptural, but DON'T force her. She may come around to see the truth of the situation, as my wife did, or she may not, but it has to be her choice.

God Bless
Kevin

patience produces faith

Hey, that sounds like a miracle to me! But how did you manage to get them to reveal their identity and location? Often that is a hard thing to do.

I can understand your reluctance to let your wife know right away, but be patient. Pray about it, be a good example, don't do anything that will make her uncomfortable, (especially when it comes to local legal issues) and continue living happy. But their spouses, if involved in natuirsm too, may be the ones to talk to your wife later in small talk about the subject. They can leak information about themselves, bring up the subject in an indirect way in a relaxed setting. They may be the ones to lead your wife to naturism. But it will have to be on their terms, the way they want to do it. You cannot be the prod in this one. Wives can sniff that out easily!

Glorify God with your whole body, you are no longer connected to the curse of Adam and Eve. You are living God's Kingdom.

I can see that God is working miracles. God has been working hard on me lately, (nothing to do with naturism directly) and I hope I can soon see what He is doing in my life, or should I really say, HIS life in me. I must die daily so HE can live daily in me and through me. It has not been easy. Seems like I have been under a curse, but it is not really that. If God is in me, then there are no curses at all! God is just working with me to realize that faith comes not by our actions, but a lack of our actions at times. Humility. Letting God work things out and not worry about the outcome.

Paitence that is built by humility produces faith, faith procuces action, not action producing faith,unless the "action" is patience based on humility. Sometimes we just have to wait and let God fix it.

Live nude and prosper...eventually.

Their email address was pretty informative.
