• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What’s on your mind?

Would it be helpful sleeping elsewhere?

She really must've been a kind soul. What'd she see I wonder.

Yes, however, there are only a few places to sleep in my aunt's home.

Right now, I just can't help but feel frustrated and rejected.

People on other sites have called me stupid, some told me that Jesus isn't real, and I see others spread theology that's either based on misguidedness or outright heresy. It's all so tiresome.

I struggle with wanting control over everything even though I know that's a fool's errand.

Praise God though, I'm getting a house soon. The moving part itself is going to be stressful, but I know it's going to be worth it.

I love your "Abe's Odyssey" avatar. I feel the same. The older I get, the more I see that control is kind of an illusion. I'm trying to be ok with that, though. Just pray about stuff and leave it and head outside for some time in nature.

I'm grateful you're getting a house, man! That's an awesome step. Mine's wee and full of mice, but I count them as "bonus friends" and it's good to have a backyard.

Thank you. It's been one of my favorite games since I was little, and even now, as a follower of Christ, I appreciate the general theme of a person that the world considers "lowly" being chosen to accomplish a seemingly impossible task.

Mine's going to be a simple single story, but the backyard has a nice view. And the monthly payment is less than how much I'm paying in rent.

Am I worthy? Am I worthy of love? Am I worthy of compassion? Am I worthy of understanding? Well… am I?! Am I even enough? It is truly a shame that you still see me for the girl that I was instead of the woman that I have become and am still improving upon every single day. I wish there was a way to prove it to you. But then again, you are the one who is not worth it, not me. So, it's all whatever, right? Right!

Trying to figure out how to be at peace with the idea of being single for the rest of my life while still desiring to be married and have kids.

I used to stress myself out over it so much and I'm finally recognizing that it's just not worth stressing out over. It still doesn't feel great, but it's not the end of the world either.

Your desire is natural. It's hard to be content with singleness when you have the desire to marry and have children.

Sometimes what helps me is distractions - reading, hobbies, etc.
