Hi. I read your story and I thought I should write you something.

Specially, about raising your kids. I am deep Christian and I face the same problem. But my question is not how my parents want and not about choosing between them but about eternal life. I want to give you some material to think.. You are Christian also and you hope to go heaven once. How will you stay there once with knowing that you did not make everything to lead your kids to the right way? It is your responsibility on earth to rise them up in the light of the God's Word. And I can't just imagine if I will have kids and if I do not teach them right way! -because you know well what is the Right Way.

I am in same situation with you. I have been engaged for a year now. We have culture differences and religion differences but I love him. I can't think anymore also that I leave him because we are different. I try to get by. We have talked about how to raise kids and for now just we wait, we both give time to each other to make searching about our religions because we both find that one of us is right..and we want to find true way. Even we both know each others opinion that he knows I am sure in my religion and I know he is sure in his religion.Just I keep praying for him I don' want to lose him in eternal life. Just life is more than that we see on earth. That is just temporary and we need to prepare ourselves for eternal life.

That's why I cared enough to write you that don't think about your coming kids so easily.. don't misunderstand me, just my english expression is not so good. I mean that don't need to choose parents or him. Just let Holy Spirit talk to your heart and pray for it. Don't search God's hands to give you what you want but seek His face. Seek Him who is He and what He prepared for your life.

I would like to talk to you more!

Take care and God bless you so much. I can pray for you!
