    What 1 thing do u need to make ur life complete?

    I've got a fear of living life without making a difference in anyone's life. As in, not representing Christ, or love, in the many chances to - in other words, living a life of waste (in my opinion). I am sure God will give plenty of opportunity. :)

    (Sigh) Why I remain agnostic...

    You know... I am going to throw this as just an idea. Why don't you just kind of look for signs of God in your everyday life? Sounds nuts, but at a time when I had actually left my city to get away from struggling with faith and stuff at home, crazy coincidences started happening all the time...

    A question about LASTING faith...

    Is it normal, or acceptable, just to feel like not even wanting to THINK about God/faith/etc for a little while, as if you need a vacation from thinking of all of that stuff? My faith seems to have lose it's zest more than in the usual downtime. Anyone have experiences with this?

    If you could ask God one question, what would it be?

    For some reason, I could see him answering our question WITH a question... HA!

    I just need to rant

    Thanks for the replies!! In response to some of them: No, he does not do it because he's interested in my wellbeing, he does it to break me down. He always drills the point that I am worthless, because he knows that's what I hate to hear the most. I'm just wondering if, as Christians, we're...

    I just need to rant

    What a silly way to do it, but I am so upset that I can't even think straight; I just had a fight with my dad about something stupid, but it turned into a big yelling match and him telling me that all of my efforts to reach out to inner city kids in the past couple weeks, which I have pretty...

    A little Canadian Student Loan rant

    No no no, don't move out - but when you are filling out the application form for a student loan or whatever, specify that you PAY RENT to stay in your home. That might be easier...

    A little Canadian Student Loan rant

    SOTF, I totally understand what you are going through!!! Yikes, it's totally unfair. The scale in which they look at is how much your parents make and doesn't vary that much even when considering HOW many people are in the house. I would honestly suggest just waiting until your debt is down with...

    Smoking?

    I smoke. :sorry: You know what's sad? that's probably the first time I have admitted it in over half a year - usually say I'm just "taking a break from quitting", which sounds ridiculous. It's so gross, but at the same time so good, and the stints of wanting to quite way too fleeting!!! I hate...

    While travelling, what is the worst storm you've ever been in?

    I had to stay at a Military Camp in Penhold, Alberta about four summers ago. I was there for six weeks, and one day the weather seemed quite off throughout the afternoon. Then, in the evening, the sky became green and purple and the clouds seemed like they were only 50 feet from the ground. We...

    struggling with doubt ... :(

    Pottersclay - wow! you know what? I bought that book a couple years ago and never got around to reading it. It's sitting on my shelf along with a few other philip yancey books. :) He's my favorite author, in particular for his book "what's so amazing about grace" - thank you very much for the...

    struggling with doubt ... :(

    You are right. Faith is so important, but are we supposed to ignore feelings of doubt? One thing I felt would happen when posting my struggle is that someone would just say, 'well then your faith is obviously not strong enough' (although thank you for taking the time to respond, i am thankful...

    struggling with doubt ... :(

    Hi there, I'm Christian .... and always try to push doubt out of my head, but in the last few days it's becoming too real. It started by talking about other religions - So many other believers of other religions face miracles just as Christians do. The question comes in of, "what if we make...
