Hi Ell, I sent you my email address. Looking forward to hearing from you. :)

I cannot think of any scriptural mandate that says you need to provide her with confirmation of your need to put your children above your ministry. Remember, just because somebody is in leadership does not mean that everything they say is accurate. She's human. She makes errors of judgment based...

Hey Trish, I understand the need for meds (I've been on meds since 1998 for my bipolar) and I can understand the desire not to take them. I also know what it's like to dread speaking to your therapist. I stopped any long term therapy a while back b/c my secular therapist just couldn't wrap...

Hi unclean... I could identify with your post. I don't know if you've heard of this website... but it is a wonderful community for Christians who struggle with inappropriate content, masturbation, and other sexual addictions. http://higher-calling.com/ There is also a really good accountability...

oneishmael committed suicide on Friday January 19th. Please pray for his family and others who struggle with depression and addiction.

Hey oneishmael, don't give up on yourself or on God. You might not be able to walk those steps out of the pit you've allowed yourself to fall into, but his arms are long enough to pull you out. His grace extends to you. Praying.

Hi Im-revived, That's actually how I found CF a year ago. I have bipolar disorder and my best friend looked on line to find out more about it and found CF. I've been posting in the journal/blog section ever since. My journal is called "The Adventures of Bipolar Girl" and I have found great...

I'm a school teacher so my voice is my life. Last week Sunday I started losing my voice. By Wed, it was cutting in and out on me... and by Thursday I could barely speak. Friday I had no voice to speak of. I couldn't speak above a squeak or a whisper. Saturday and Sunday I was down to writing...

Amen to that! I definitely could not have prayed words more compelling than that.

Lord? It's too easy to take a sound mind for granted. It is with the mind that we know the world around us. It is with the mind that we first become aware of you. Our minds influence our hearts and our hearts influence our actions. People who suffer mental illness... bipolar... whatever... they...

God? It's so easy to get wrapped up in your own concerns and your own struggles that you forget to care about the hurts and needs of others. It's easy to look away from eyes that are filled with tears. In the wake of something so horrilbe and so inconceivable, it is easy to feel helpless and...

Hi Blondielashes, Since you asked me to read your thread and then give feedback... I read it. I could give you a knee-jerk answer, but I'd like to pray for you before I say anything. I'll send you a PM later this evening or tomorrow at the latest. Holy Spirit, Please give...

And I thought that I was the only person who's seen it who thought that! There were parts in the movie that I liked and all the history was good... but I couldn't get beyond Depp's lispy childlike voice because it reminded me of Michael Jackson. His interactions with Mike TeeVee (??) got down...

I just moved to Maui as a missionary. God has been blessing me immeasurably since I stepped off the plane. He has provided a wonderful place to live with an awesome older woman who is a pillar of faith. He's provided me with really wonderful new friends; a great new church; a bible study and a...

Hello CBS... Welcome to CF. As for your initial question? I'm figuring that it's rhetorical... but since I majored in Rhetoric in college... it's in my nature to respond. How can you believe in such a god? You don't have to... belief in God is a choice and you can choose not to believe in him...

Schreys, I just typed a really cool welcome to you and then accidentally deleted it because I'm using an unfamiliar laptop. :( So... the short version: I'm glad for you that you've turned to Jesus. May you and your family grow closer to him and to each other. I pray for you dad that he...

Welcome Geekghost! I can echo the profile: When I was in college I went from froo froo bright color girl to 99.9% black clothes girl. Hair in face... to hide the pain... and all that. Dark depressing music. I knew the depressions were coming and there was little I could do to avoid them. I...

Hello! Welcome to CF! I came to CF about a year ago because I was in a deep depression and a concerned friend went online trying to find resources for Christians with BP. I am SO glad my friend cared enough to hook me up with CF... because I was a MESS when I first started corresponding with...

Today was the last day of school. I was loved and hugged by most of my students. I'm moving out of state and it'll be a while before I see them again... but I KNOW that God hasn't closed the door on us just yet. Thank you God for all of my children! "Many are the children of the barren...

Awesome that you would share this... I do the same thing too.. just to remind myself that no matter WHAT happens, there is always something for which I can give God praise. I hope it won't offend you that I list my own 10 Things to Praise God for: 1. God has given me a single mind (I...
