In my case, which didn't fit into the social mix back when my husband and I were put together by the Lord, our age difference really caught attention. I'm 14 years older than Dave; our backgrounds also extremely opposite in many ways. And yet the Lord called us. And it has blessed a lot of people... and we have been overwhelmingly blessed by Him and others. So, to me, the key has always been His call. Bi-racial has also been a significant part of my family and others for many years, long before it was accepted socially. Anyhow, to me, again, the question is "What does the Lord want"? That's all that counts.caryjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488368153291827383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212629330675886401.post-736743326330294372012-02-03T14:30:46.329-08:002012-02-03T14:30:46.329-08:00Being unequally yoked is not a great way to begin ...Being unequally yoked is not a great way to begin a marriage -but bi-racial is not a problem in my opinion. My pastor and his wife are bi-racial and married for forty-five years, many of the families in our church are bi-racial and multicultural. Their kids are great and our church is vibrant and a great place to be. Check out my blog for pictures of our church (http://www.xanga.com/wondering04) - click on the images for Passover on the left column and you will see a gathering. <br /><br />I was unsaved and did not like God when I married my Christian husband - he want to raise our children Catholic - I obeyed, hating God, then became born again. We now are more equally yoked - multi denominational. He lets me do things with the Charismatic church I belong with and I attend Mass with him. We are friends with all the pastors and are active in church.<br /><br />God did a great healing.Heather Marstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17442467779057850945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212629330675886401.post-6908777556338098262012-02-03T08:49:03.066-08:002012-02-03T08:49:03.066-08:00Sure major differences in marriage right off the s...Sure major differences in marriage right off the start may make for some difficulties. But imagine how much stronger those marriages can become in overcoming such obstacles. Much more than those who have "had it easy". Imagine loving through trials, imagine the unshakable trust that follows, imagine the power of that relationship to move mountains. That's my kind of love. :)Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019366435305475956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212629330675886401.post-25847436460160235522012-02-03T06:06:32.472-08:002012-02-03T06:06:32.472-08:00I agree there is much stress with marriage, being ...I agree there is much stress with marriage, being unequally yoked being the most difficult. Too bad we can't see each other the way God see us... but that's what makes us human. <br /><br />There was a youth leader at one of the big churches that many of my lacrosse girls went to, he just committed suicide a couple of months ago... Talk about shaking the girls Christian world... We need to protect our youth and we never know who we might need to be watching out for, only seeking God and maybe being a little over protective is a good thing...floydhttp://theregoi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212629330675886401.post-42873565413834340042012-02-02T10:24:45.801-08:002012-02-02T10:24:45.801-08:00Wow.

God can redeem any situation, and to suggest otherwise is a lie. The key is to invite Him into it.Brandee Shaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960175760263515363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212629330675886401.post-12406285031908867602012-02-02T07:51:14.396-08:002012-02-02T07:51:14.396-08:00I hope God doesn't have to go all the way to Z...I hope God doesn't have to go all the way to Z for me!momto8https://www.blogger.com/profile/13964950285763339907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1212629330675886401.post-47959574049018136872012-02-02T07:49:40.150-08:002012-02-02T07:49:40.150-08:00I hope God doesn't have to go all the way to Z...I hope God doesn't have to go all the way to Z for me!!!momto8https://www.blogger.com/profile/13964950285763339907noreply@blogger.com
