A Letter from Miss Desperately Confused

Hi everyone, one of the things I love to do during the week is to co-host with Pastor Love in his  Young Lives program at DXFE . Yesterday, we received a letter from one of our listeners. The sender described herself helpless in her desperately confusing  situation. 

This once again had shown us how our world is in desperate need of people who are willing to listen and journey with them in the desperate moments of their lives. 

Below is a copy of her letter.

oOo

Dear Pastor Love,

Thank God for you program that encourages a lot of people especially the young people like me.

I am writing because I need your advice about my situation.Ganito kase yon. 

May boyfriend ako na nagwork sa ibang bansa. During his visit nagawa namin ang hindi dapat.

.Nong naka alis na sya I discovered na nagdadalang tao ako. Nong nalaman nga mga magulang ko 

galit na galit sila sa akin. At feeling ko nga wala silang paki sa akin.NOw, It so happened that

i'm working in a company that uphold a high standard of values and my pregnancy without a husband

could be a ground of my termination from my job. Ayaw ko po talagang matanggal sa trabaho ko. 

Because of this nag agree kami ng boyfriend that they will 

produce Merriage Certificate by getting married in another place and since nandoon sya sa labas

at next year pa uuwi, we plan to ask someone to stand on his hehalf (marriage by proxy).

Hindi ito alam ng both parents namin.

I'm asking a friend to facilitate this plan on my behalf. Medyo hindi pabor ang friend ko dahil mali daw

Pastor Love heto ang mga questions,Tama ba itong gagawin ko? IS THERE SUCH MARRIAGE BY PROXY? 

WHAT WOULD BE THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS ACT? Ayaw kong matanggal sa aking trabaho.

PLEASE ADVICE ME.


sincerely,

MISS DESPERATELY CONFUSED.   

I hope by reading and reflecting through this letter, your eyes will be open so you would see the desperate need of people around you. And I pray that your heart will also be open to welcome others to help you in your own desperate moments.

Feel free to share your views about her problem. God bless us all always!

ms. desperately confused,

you are placed in a very difficult situation and you must understand that facing your problem today will help you in such that it will not add up into another situation that you will regret later...im taking about this proxy marriage...sorry to tell you but doing that is not the best option that you can do... let God guide you in your descision making...ask God to give you wisdom..

hmmmmmn..sin begets sin,if there's no breaking of it..like what King David have done,he covered his sin with another sin (murder to cover-up adultery)..and what's the consequence?suffering-not only to him but to his next generations- and even death..sin is very serious, so better break it now than to suffer more consequences..

I think there are only two options: (1) Stay with the job,continue to disobey God;and suffer MANY consequences..or (2) Obey God by not committing another sin;you may lose your job but only suffer SOME consequences.
..it takes humility to repent before God and people around.

so complicated.... just repent, take the risks, and learn from the consequences.

God is love and full of forgiveness... pray and never do the same thing again.

You might talk your boss about ur situations and ask another chance, anyway there is no harm in trying.

Be true to yourself.
