This is one in a series of writings telling of the factors God worked together, as told us by Paul in Romans 8: 18-28, building the story of my life.

Just a child, almost 10, I gave my life to Christ
I learned to read the Bible for answers about life.
Sunday morning preaching every week I heard
All that lacked was a mentor to guide me through the Word.
But surely that would be okay; I was living for my Lord.
At 14, my boyfriend of two years acted against my choice.
So I searched my Bible to hear from God's own voice.
My search brought me to Deuteronomy 22: 28-29.
Then he asked me to marry him, so everything would be fine.
Girls let me be your mentor if you don't have another.
Those instructions were to godly men, not girls nor any other.
Consider 2Corinthians 6: 13-15
should you be faced with that same choice.
Don't let the Scripture Twister confuse you from God's voice.
There is no law that says you must become a sinner's wife.
Find someone you know will keep your trust and lives a godly life.
Talk with them of the situation that you face;
Repentance even when we are wronged is never out of place.
