Not good. I'm going to fall back into despair. :(
It's easy to get depressed and to feel despair if we lose sight of the bigger picture. You seemed to be much more content and at peace when you were focused on your personal devotions and spiritual life. If you find yourself slipping back into despair, just remind yourself of what you were doing that gave you peace. Return to that. The Christian life is often a battle and you can only make it through the tough stages by holding fast to the truth and focusing on God. I've found in my own life that I can feel very defeated and anxious whenever I focus too much on this life.

I'm rarely active on the forum now, but I felt like posting to give you some encouragement. Hope you have had a good Easter. Remember, Christ rose to give us everlasting life and whatever sorrows, disappointments, or unfulfilled dreams you may have in life, they will be completely erased in the next life. Christ also promised us that if we are faithful, we will be rewarded in the next. We will reign with Christ. Focus on that. It will help to soften the disappointment you are feeling.

I'm going to start getting upset about marriage again if I don't refocus on God.
Or is it the opposite? As you start to refocus on God, Satan puts up a fight about it?

I don't know.

May He Breathe upon you The Ruach of The Heavens filling your spirit and quenching your deepest thirst.

I am overwhelmed.
May the gentle warmth of His Kisses embrace you, soothing your spirit and bringing you a deep sense of peace.

In what way?
I disagree w/ a lot of it. I wish some of the denomination split sections were more active so we could share what we like together. I suppose it’s good for me to see regardless & I think people mean well. I should post in the Theology sections more than I do. I can just get hostile, it can be hard for me to do it in a good way & you can get wrapped into it. Before coming to CF I would do it on a site dominated by atheists, you can go for pages & pages w/ someone

We've talked about this section being less active than in the past from what it was a long time ago.

Do you think this is a sign of the times, or message boards just not being a thing as much anymore? I s/ scout the message boards I used to post at before coming here
