    Need some advice about work...

    Well...I'm a pretty tough cookie when it comes to patients. They come 1st. You're definitely between a rock and hard place...but let me say this: What you're doing isn't working. Try something different. (That's the entire gyst of "Who Moved My Cheese?") If you are not being effective with what...

    hurt feelings & heavy heart

    I know how you're feeling. My mother can sometimes be very selfish, too. I don't think that there are words that will make you feel all better. I wish there were. All I can say is, a great injustice was done. Unfortunately, there's no compensation for that. When I feel like I've been treated...

    Am I being guided....or misled?

    I think one of the best suggestions I've ever received was to study that Bible. The Lord speaks to you on a personal level when you seek His word. There are so many people who give advice that really aren't qualified to...including me. If you seek your wisdom from the Bible, you'll be getting...

    Teen mom needs help(I didn't know where else to put this.)

    Wow. I feel bad for you. You've already been criticized for reaching out for help in the wrong section, and people expect a legitimate reason for your parents hating you. Sometimes there just isn't a real answer. Sometimes you have to make a leap of faith. I think religion would certainly...

    Is it OK to date non-Christians?

    I had to add that some people claim to be Christians...only their actions say otherwise. Remember: standing in a garage doesn't make you a car any more than going to church makes you a Christian. They've got to walk the walk, and talk the talk, and act the act. If she's very considerate and...

    Please help me and my child.

    Well, thanks to everyone. E-beth, tried to send a message to you. Can't do it for some reason. (I don't know what I'm doing wrong.) I did work when my child's daddy was at home to watch her (when he had a specific "start" time at work.) It was actually a relief to get a break from being a 24...

    Is it OK to date non-Christians?

    I wasn't looking for a husband when I met mine. Now we're married. We have different opinions about what is important in life, and it makes for an excruciating marriage. If you're determined to provide the best home for yourself and your future children, I wouldn't go anywhere near a...

    Please help me and my child.

    He says he "gets it." What he says and what he does is a big, fat contradiction. I'm not hearing anything back from my applications. I still don't know who would watch her if I did get a job. Scary. Found this: Heb 12:5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons...

    Please help me and my child.

    Thanks, Ebeth. We don't qualify for anything because my husband's gross income is $50,000. Of course we live on the net, which is $25,000 for the three of us, two visiting step-children twice a week, a dog and two cats. I'm trying very hard to not hate the ex-wife who has all of our money. Her...

    Please help me and my child.

    I've been running three different work-at-home companies. They all require your friends to have "parties." I've partied out everyone I know. I do have a few prospects that are reluctantly thinking about it. I printed some flyers to post in the grocery stores. I'm in a pretty small town. Our...

    Please help me and my child.

    I don't think I can babysit in my home. I have a one bedroom, one bathroom house, and a husband who works shifts. He's at home, sleeping quite frequently in the day. If I had a house full of kids, he'd never get a decent night's sleep (OR day's sleep, I should say.) Although I'm tempted to try...

    I am not asking for your money. I am asking for your prayers and advice. Thank you.

    Please help me and my child.

    Though emotionally distraut, they're my family, and they're trying to be supportive. Unfortunately, they are unfit for having a part in raising my child. They have the option of visiting us here...at home. Leaving my baby with them, unsupervised, is not an option; although they are the only ones...

    Teen depression/anorexia

    I've been there, too. I do know that people decide to NOT eat when they feel like they've lost control over everything else. Bottom line: she needs to understand although she gets a great feeling from controlling what she eats (or rather doesn't eat) that it's a physical control that turns into...

    Stay nearby

    Please continue praying that my husband go to God. I've been so relieved and answered by posting here. I thank all of you for your prayers and good wishes. Please pray that my family becomes one, that our needs are met, and that we all become closer to our Father in Heaven.

    Please pray for my son...

    May you feel the presence of the Lord, and know if your child was healed in His name. Prayers to you and yours! It certainly seems as if a sigh of relief is in order. It makes me wonder if God performs miracles that we're all just too dumbstruck to acknowledge! He must get so frustrated...

    Scared baby girl.

    Thank you. I've shooed it away in front (and behind) of her! She laughed. She said she was still scared, though. I'm not sure if it's imagination or real. Who am I to know such things? I've prayed with and for her. I wouldn't pretend that it was real in front of my little one, even if I was...

    Kidnapped and Assasinated

    Lord, as Your people are slain for preaching Your word, please let the rest of us realize how strong and forceful Your words are. Certainly worth dying for. As Christ died for us, still more die in Your name. Please mark Your flock that no other can disturb us. Please give us Your strength and...
