I have an interview on Thursday that I would appreciate prayers for. It comes after a long time of getting rejections even before the interview stage. It could mean I get to move back to the city and it is for a job in the actual area of law I specialised in. Very nervous, can't sleep, really...

I have a job interview on Thursday. It involves an interview and work-based testing. I would love some prayers, I am very nervous and this could mean ending my country stint and moving back to a city. :clap: My current job is fine, don't get me wrong but it is far from the area I specialised...

This is something I have never really heard of in relation to modern day usage. Then again I also had never heard anyone speaking in tongues before attending my current non-Orthodox church. So I guess I really have two questions. Have you heard anyone or know of anyone who speaks in tongues and...

I met a lady who told me she lives with her mother and husband, when I commented that this was an interesting arrangement she said she had always said she would not leave her mother and wouldn't marry her husband unless he agreed to it. I was shocked! I cannot imagine this arrangement, not the...

I live in an area without an Orthodox church. No Orthodox churches around unless you want to catch a flight each Sunday to go to a major city! I went to a Catholic church a couple of times but for the past year have been going to a non-denominational Christian church. I have never taken...

Do you wear a prayer bracelet (komboskini)? Or a prayer necklace? I wear a prayer bracelet and I have two prayer necklaces hanging off the corner of my bed.

For those baptised as infants, do you still have your baptismal cross? I had mine until I was a teenager and then the diamond fell out and my Godmother took it to have it replaced...and then lost it! I kind of go on searches all the time to see if I can find a cross similar to replace it with...

Oh my, I need to vent. I have had such a bad week. Have been sick since last Monday, have a very annoying constant cough and the doctor won't give me anything.

A lady at church said this to me today, when she asked me if I have a boyfriend and I told her the truth, I don't get noticed pure and simple. While it is a nice sentiment for singles and I hope singles are encouraged by it the church will have to realise that there are single Christians...for...

To the professionals, or anyone willing to give me advice... Have you ever found yourself with too many degrees and not enough experience to land the job you want? I do have a job in my field at the moment and have been there two and a half years. I need a change, it's fine but it's not an...

So I've been dating this guy long-distance for a little while. He spoke of marriage very quickly. The thing is, he isn't willing to DO anything about it. He's not willing to move to be with me at all. He speaks about coming to visit me but has never done it, he always expects me to go and...
