    The "What I appreciate about my spouse right now" thread

    I appreciate that my husband always give “an ear” when I need someone to listen. He’s my number one supporter and best friend.

    what are you feeling right now? (24)

    Hello friends! Just checking in...it's been a productive day and I feel very motivated for recovery...that's not saying that things don't feel hard, but I am able to push through it and do things that I need to do to help myself, while at the same time practicing self care by taking breaks and...

    what are you feeling right now? (24)

    Good evening! :) Thank for for all the encouragement and prayers. Yes, depression is definitely a roller coaster ride for sure and there are steps forward as well as steps backwards, but we keep going. I really need to follow your example and get back into volunteer work via church and my...

    Is hating homosexuality is a sin?

    “For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God's laws.” James 2:10 Sin is sin and all of it separates us from God, there is not one sin that God says, “well, that one is a little better so I’ll overlook it because it’s not as bad as that...

    Is hating homosexuality is a sin?

    Do you feel just as angry about other sins? Sin is sin. Are there any sins you have committed lately - that you feel angry about? All sin should anger us in the same way because sin is sin and sin separates us from God. I'm thankful for the LORD Jesus Christ, who saved me from sin and redeemed...

    what are you feeling right now? (24)

    Good morning friends! Last night I did some self care (colored my hair and did a face mask). I'm having a really bad body image day and feel dread as my body changes as I gain weight...it doesn't help with the depression/anxiety. But I know I have a distorted view of myself and can't rely on my...

    Unrealistic beauty standards?

    I agree, I think in general nobody really cares and expects anyone to look a certain way but we end up putting those expectations on ourselves likely due to medias influence of how woman (and men) 'should' look. Unfortunately, we are heavily influenced by the media and critical thinking skills...

    Why I fear Church

    I really don't have any advice to add, as Aino's advice was good, but I wanted to leave you a note to encourage you. All Christians, I believe, struggle with some type of sin and it's sad that you feel like you can't go to church because of the particular sin you struggle with. I empathize with...

    what are you feeling right now? (24)

    Today I feel like my depression is hovering over my head...recovery is hard to face every day and it's exhausting and I'm worn. It seems like it would be easier to give in to the depression and allow myself to isolate and avoid everything in life, but I know that will only make things worse, so...
