I don't care much for blackberries but this thread is making me crave cherry cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. Might have to make a trip to the store. ^_^
I'm puzzled by something I experienced at my local congregation this past Sunday evening. My husband and I attended a special Christmas service which we had assumed would be like previous years with singing and a short devotional. About halfway through the service our worship minister (song...
My DD is an only. She always asked for siblings when she was younger but now that she's preteen she seems happy to be an only child. She is outgoing and makes friends easily. She doesn't fit the "selfish only child" stereotype at all. I see many of DD's friends who have siblings and there is...
Then you have done everything you can. It's time to turn it over to God now.
Yes, I would be hurt. I would be hurt by the first betrayal as well as him not introducing me to his new g/f.
The relationship between the two of you sounds very one-sided, with you doing all the work. It doesn't...
You can't control how others treat you but you can control how you react.
I'd like to suggest a book for you. It's called "Healing From Family Rifts" by Mark Sichel. I read it recently and it brought a lot of things to light.
I'll keep you in my prayers. I hope you can find peace. :pray:
Good question. :thumbsup:

My husband was told by the doctor before his vasectomy that the longer you wait to reverse it, the less likely you will be able to father a child. It's really something you and your husband should discuss with a doctor.
You do have a reason to live. God would not have put you on this earth otherwise. I realize at 13 you don't know what that reason is but someday you will. Pray to the Lord to lift your depression. Ask him to send you some Christian friends to keep you on track. 13 is a tough age but it does get...

I agree with Johnnz. It doesn't sound like an issue of whether you have forgiven your brother or not. It seems more as if the relationship with your brother has been mostly one sided with you putting forth most of the effort. It's up to each individual to forgive but it takes both to truly...
I love Casting Crowns. It's hard to pick a favorite song though. I love the entire "Altar and the Door" CD. I'm anxious to hear some of their earlier songs as well.
