Have any of the crisis points in your life focused around a romantic or sexual relationship? In what ways did the resolution of that crisis change you?

Yes, most definitely. I grew up rapidly following the crisis. I am not sure whether anyone monitors these answers, but if so I would be interested in the rationale for this particular question ? Why is “sex” or “romance” singled out as a category, as opposed to say “Fraud” or “Drunkenness”?

No

Yes, after my divorce, I decided to date and have relationships on my terms. It took a period of time before I returned to God but in doing so, I decided that if I ever had a romantic relationship again, it would be on God’s terms not mine.

I’ve engaged in illicit relationships as a young person and every time they failed, I felt guilty and shameful and have run from God thinking He was mad at me. Every time He called me back to Him and I am thankful for His mercy and grace. His grace helped me to respect myself and stay committed to one person now.

Yes, this has been a crisis point focus. The resolution changed me for the better and for the worse. The worse first: somethings you can’t undo. Somethings you cannot un-see, un-hear, un-spend the time on. That is unfortunate and should be avoided if possible at all costs- because the cost is very high. The better, however, is that there are some understandings about God, His personality, His grace and mercy, His heart- that I much better understand now that it is solidified in my heart. I can’t question His character and His love towards me. It’s undenying and I KNOW this now. Glory to God!
