Hang in there Skittle...... and YES, while God is very clear on how He feels toward the issue of living with some one as if you were married when you are not - and it being sin - He also has a way of working things out for all concerned and for forgiving us of those sins.

Example: My husband and I were not married when we had our first child together and then we became saved and God still worked it all out for us - in that he kept us together (under the same roof) and touched our hearts to let us know that we needed to make our life a family matter for the three of us now, and that took 6 months from the point of us being saved to the point of us becoming man and wife.

God does not judge or condemned another as humans some times will do - God loves you no matter what and works on you from the inside out - and all while in the mist of your sins...... as HE did with His own Disciples, for we must remember that some of them were living with and with in sin when He personally chose them to follow Him - and it was not until after that moment and in time that Christ helped His Disciples to change from their sinner ways... no condemnation needed.

It is the sinful ways of mankind that God hates, and never that of the sinner...... God has the ability to look past the sin and into what will be when He is finished with YOU.
.... Seek and HE shall find You!
