[GCFL-discuss] Opinions and Advice

Fri May 7 18:06:34 CDT 2004

Quama,
ask your parents why they object and see if they have a reason that you can live with.
You should always honor your father and mother, so to just defy them is not in God's perfect will, but He also does not say that you must give in without a reason since you are an adult and pay your own way.  Again, prayer is the key and a level attitude when you ask them why.
