    Yes, no, or wait.

    I always here Christians saying that God answers our prayers with a "yes, no, or wait." First of all, doesn't that limit God? Second of all, what if God is refusing to answer at all. What if He doesn't want to get involved in that area of your life? What if you are praying for a spouse...

    I feel discontent?

    Despair? Depression? Weary? All of the above? I'm not sure exactly. I saw a post recently that said, "How do you trust in the Lord?" I'm starting to wonder the same thing. None of the replies really helped me much, because I honestly try to trust him and seek him out in all I do. I pray...

    Love

    I never understood what love meant. Sometimes I wondered, could this be love? I've always heard that you recognize it when it's there, but our society has twisted the word "love." Many will never recognize it, and many will never find it. Most don't even know what they are looking for; then...

    Dependency

    The life I live, that surrounds me. Is not a life of plans, to plan is vanity. For plans I've had, and plans have failed, yet still I am.

    The pleasant trees?

    I don't exactly know where I am going with this, so bear with me. This post is as much for myself and for anyone else. It seems to me, that the common response to almost any dilemna is seek God and pray continually for guidance (Proverbs 3:5,6). Which I believe is true and I am definitely a...

    What I've been learning as of lately...

    God, what is your will for me? God, what do you want me to do? This question has been circling in my head for a good, long time now. I'm sure that it circles in many other's heads too. WE ARE THE WILL OF GOD!!! WE ARE HIS CHOSEN ONES!!! When we seek the heart of God and live our lives...

    the Holy Spirit?

    Can you be a Christian and not have the Holy Spirit? In Acts, there are several instances of new believers who receive the Word of God, but don't receive the Holy Spirit until a later day. Let me know what you think...

    haunted house?

    I have an opportunity to move into one of the oldest houses in the city I live in. It's a great opportunity and it will be used to host christian college groups weekly. It's a huge house and low rent, it even has a swimming pool. Everything sounds great and I'm ready to move in. But, I...

    Today, in church, I learned...

    If we lead righteous lives, God will begin to grant us the deep desires of our heart. All christians have "God-given" dreams, passions, or desires. When we live holy lives, He fulfills those dreams in us. And by us living out those dreams, we fulfill God's big picture; aka, His will.

    Trials and tribulations

    I just went through a year and half ordeal, where I thought that I was doing what God wanted me to do. I sought His guidance everyday and I cried out to Him everynight. I prayed constantly. My ordeal ended about an hour and a half ago. It didn't end the way I wanted it to, nor the way that I...

    Most embarrasing moments...

    I'll start... My junior year of high school, I wanted to ask Lisa to our Winter Banquet. (I went to a private school, so we didn't have dances.) I was at Dairy Queen with several friends from school, including her and some of her friends. I was sitting at a separate table with a couple of...

    A.p.b.

    I want to report a missing person. Songz777 hasn't been on CF since July 16th and it's kind of lonely around here. I keep looking for inspirational thoughts and verses and all I see the last couple of days are "What turns you on?" Bleh. Songz777 where are you?
