This is a long story, but I'll try to break it up into paragraphs. I am going to be referring to my history growing up because I think it has affected my marriage. I believe the lies that were thrown in my direction from my family caused me to just settle for the first man who would have me...

So a couple of days ago I was clearing out an old email address that I'd long ago set aside as a spam account, and found a message from a lady who claimed to be the birth mother of my half sister. My biological father was also this girl's biological father. The letter had been sent way back in...

I feel so far behind in this curse called life that I'm not sure I'll ever catch up. I was not taught how to drive because I was a strong willed child anyway and they did not want to let me do anything that would make me independent of them. Then too, a psychiatrist had told them that I...

How many of you look at the young adults forum in here and suddenly have found that you feel too mature for it? Then you come here to the 30s forum and feel a complete outsider because you're not living the same kind of life as everyone else this age, and feel either like you're slow or just...

Hi all, I applied for a scholarship for an online Bachelor's degree program in Bible. Due to learning disability issues I am unable to take full class loads (12 credits or more) per term. This program does not have that issue, as I can take it one class at a time (in fact I'm expected to) and...

Please pray that I get a better job. I was just hired in March but I was not told that my hours would be cut in mid May. I had been working at $3.25 + tips for 20 hours a week, making around $100 a week including my tips. Now, my hours have been cut to 8 a week and I don't receive good tips...

My landlord sold the house we've been living in and the new owners want to renovate right away. We were given until May 1st to find a new place. Well we looked and looked for a place where we could take all four of our fur babies, but the most we could find was a place that would let us keep...

I know, an odd title for the Childfree Marriages forum. My landlord sold the house we've been living in and the new owners want to renovate right away. We were given until May 1st to find a new place. Well we looked and looked for a place where we could take all four of our fur babies, but the...

My husband and I have to move out by May 8th, and we can only keep two of our cats. Please pray that we can find suitable homes for our little boy kitties. It's a wrench giving them up but our new place allows female cats only. :(

I get a base pay of $3.25 an hour, plus whatever tips. I work 20 hours a week. My shift is very slow. So I have my $65 a week and my average tips have been about $30 a week, so I'm bringing home about $95 a week for 20 hours of work. This works out to a wage of around $4.75 an hour. State...

Pray for my husband to respond to his lupus medication. This is the only one that Medicaid will cover, and if he does not respond to it well he has been told that he probably has a year, maybe two, left to live, as the lupus is attacking his kidneys. He is young, he turns 30 in July. We have...

...Or at least not helping those in their own community... Is it acceptable to take what you would normally tithe to your church and directly donate it to those in need? Or would that have to come from extra funds?

Looks like I finally got a job. I was hired on the spot. That was really the way it would need to go since I am 30 with no job experience. I'm going to be a waitress at a small, family owned Filipino restaurant about four doors down from my house. I'm only working 20 hours a week, at $3.25 an...

My husband has been emotionally abusive to me almost since the beginning of our relationship, which has been eight and a half years. I was so desperate I decided to marry him anyway. At times he has even become verbally abusive. I was about to leave when he decided to try to change. I can see...

My husband's parents are divorced, and I have never met my father in law, but we heard from his wife last night over my father in law's facebook that he was in the ER with what looked to be a stroke. Please pray for him, he is not a Christian and had been pushed away from the faith by his very...

I have been having several health issues lately. First of all I had a miscarriage on the 10th of January and I have not been myself emotionally ever since, even though I did not want a baby. I believe I am suffering some type of postpartum depression, and don't have the funds necessary to go to...

My best friend has seen the worst of Christians, having grown up in a so-called "Christian" home where they definitely did not walk their talk and he was badly abused by them. It has resulted in him believing that God exists and that Jesus is the Way, but he wants nothing to do with...

Three weeks ago I started feeling pregnancy symptoms, which was odd because my husband and I are supposedly unable to have children, the odds being less chance of me getting pregnant than a woman who faithfully takes the pill. Also was odd because I had recently had what I thought to be my...

This is an American citizen, a Christian pastor who has been detained in Iran. Please pray for his release, and if you are a US citizen, please sign this official petition (hosted on Petitions.Whitehouse.gov) for the government to step in and work with all necessary powers to help bring him...
