    help my friend win a quilting contest?

    Not sure if I'm posting this in the right section, but a friend of mine is in a contest to win quilting supplies. I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to help her out by voting for her? It only takes like ten seconds, and all you have to do is "like" the quilt shop page on Facebook, and then...

    Viewing people through God's eyes

    I'm looking for some Biblical advice (include Scripture references if possible) for how to view people through God's eyes, or how to view people as He does. Essentially, I want to view people as children of God, and more specifically, I want to view Christians as my brothers and sisters in...

    How to express emotions? (including worship)

    I have Asperger's, and one of the things I struggle with the most is expressing emotions. It just doesn't come naturally, doesn't make sense to me, and I don't know how to do it. It feels uncomfortable if I try to imitate the way NT's express emotions. Thus my emotions remain simply in my brain...

    How to know if it's God?

    My question is fairly simple, but I suspect it may have a complex answer. I'm trying to learn how to tell whether something is God saying "no," or Satan attempting to discourage me to keep me from God's will. How can I tell the difference? --

    What to do when God's will is unattainable?

    Part of God's will for the lives of all Christians is to fellowship with one another, correct? We are called to disciple each other, seek out Godly counsel, and partake in Christian fellowship. The whole "iron sharpens iron" and "cord of three strands" thing. So, what happens when a person...

    Accused of being selfish?

    I've had many people tell me that I'm selfish and don't care about anyone. Especially if I try to explain my Asperger's to them and/or mildly suggest that they should be more considerate and try to work around my issues or help me work around them. The thing is, I care A LOT about people, I just...

    Recognizing "Obsessions"

    I'm not sure if "obsessions" is the right term, but what I'm referring to is the narrow interests those of us with Asperger's/Autism fixate on. I've been struggling lately with people pointing out those interests. For example, one of my interests is video games; I was posting a lot on Facebook...

    Asperger's - how to connect with people?

    I was recently told by a therapist that I have Asperger's Syndrome -- for 24 years I've had problems socializing and understanding social stuff (among other problems), and never knew what the cause was until now; I always thought I was just weird, lol. Anyways, I've always wanted and needed...

    Going back to the past

    My fiance and I are going through pre-marital counseling. The counselor told me that I have communication problems...I can't explain what I'm thinking or feeling in words a lot of the time, and I have defense-mechanisms in place from the get go...I automatically am closed and in a cocoon, and I...

    satan, sex, and crickets

    A few days ago, I had a dream that satan was trying to have sex with me. In the dream, I told him "no" and tried to back away from him...I started praying and rebuking him and praying for God's protection (etc.)...but Satan just kind of chuckled and kept on moving towards me and "forced himself"...

    how do you love the unlovable?

    I haven't posted on here in awhile, but I need help, and I remembered this forum. I'm having problems with my fiance. It seems like he's angry ALL THE TIME. Like he's a monster...I don't even know him anymore. It's so bad that if I even make a wrong turn when driving, that's enough to set him...

    falling out of love?

    Is it possible to fall "out" of love? I've heard that when you fall in love with someone, you'll never stop loving them even if you fall in love with someone else and get married. Is that true? I know it's really all in God's hands...but I'm just wondering if it IS possible to fall out of love...

    alter-ego?

    How do you shed an "alter-ego"? Basically, a couple months back, I made an account on an instant messenger program, and created an entire false identity for engaging in sin...lied about my name, location, everything...I basically became this "alter-ego" while I was on the instant messenger...

    A few prayer requests...

    My church is in need of a financial blessing right now, and my pastor and his family need prayer as well because of this. So if you all could say a prayer for those two things, I would greatly appreciate it! Also, I've recently stepped into a storm of my own, and I need prayer for focus and...

    love hurts.

    This prayer request may seem small in comparison to others I've seen on here...but I guess no need is unimportant in God's eyes. I just need prayer because God has put some pretty strong feelings in my heart (love), and it's really hard for me to trust Him on it. It just hurts so much. I know...

    What's the Biblical Meaning of Dreaming About the Same Person?

    The same person keeps appearing in my dreams...over and over and over again (seems to be almost EVERY dream). I considered that maybe God is just putting this person on my heart, kind of moving me to pray for him. But I've already BEEN praying for him, as I pray for all of my friends earnestly...

    question...probably been asked a trillion times lol

    :scratch: if a guy is normally outgoing, and talks to basically everyone who's in the room, but doesn't talk to me at all, what is more likely: (1.) that he doesn't like me and wants to make sure I know that...or (2.) that he DOES like me and either (2.a) doesn't want me to know it or (2.b) just...

    Question about visions in general...

    Would I be correct in assuming that God does not give us visions regarding who our future spouse will be? I'm not talking about dreams here. I'm talking about visions that we experience when awake. I don't know how many of you believe visions from God do still occur (it seems to be a topic that...

    cough

    I've had a cough for several months now. My throat is kinda itchy...and the cough isn't mucus-producing or whatever. It's just a cough. I can't figure out why I've been coughing though...I don't smoke or anything, and I don't have allergies. I checked WebMD.com, and can't find anything relevant...

    a different prayer request

    This might be kind of a weird prayer request... A friend of mine has recently been dealing with some deep pain...I hate seeing my friends hurting, so I prayed in faith for God to allow me to help carry this person's burden, and for Him to take some of their pain and put it on me instead, so...
