I can totally relate to you, we too have a 23 year old daughter who we believe has "settled" and is similarly immature in dating and relationships, yet has chosen to align herself with someone we would never have her even be associated with. I get it. It's tough stuff! We are in a season of...

It sounds like flirting for you is a way to gain attention that you crave, in essence, feeding your carnal "man" when what you really might be seeking is a closer relationship with Jesus. I've been dwelling on this scripture for a couple of weeks now, Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of...

You may not ever know the "why" of it all. Start your day handing over the entirety of each sales approach, each activity, every word that comes out of your mouth, may it all be for His glory. Lay down all your efforts and allow God to order your steps and lead you in the way you should go. I...

First of all, it's never to late to "train up a child", it's just that training takes on a different role kind of like sharing with a friend your excitement of your newfound beliefs. We too have a 21 yo daughter, at this stage they are looking for a real relationship, in every relationship in...

Awe Mom, I feel your heart and pain. I know it's hard to take in when you were blindsided with new information while trying to celebrate your grandson's baptism. I think there's a kind of mourning that occurs when our kids make decisions that we feel are out of order and could potentially cause...

I'm so glad you're reaching out for help! We've all been there!! The mental game is a tough one. I too have struggled in this area. Have you ever heard of Joyce Meyer? She's an incredible woman of God, speaker, author, sexual abuse survivor... just an incredible story she tells. Several years...

I'm so sorry you have lived with so much pain, hurt and heartache. I'm not sure any of us have the right answers to your questions, but I know someone who does know all, cares about all and LOVES you right where you are at, Jesus. He has left us His comforter in the Holy Spirit. There is no...

Your Nin was beautiful and what a beautiful tribute you wrote about her. Truly her light still shines through you to everyone you share her life with. Thank you for introducing her to us so that we can know her through you too. I believe one day we will be reunited with our precious ones gone on...

I'm reminded of the verses in the Bible that speak directly on the fact we all are given different, unique talents, abilities and gifts to serve the kingdom of God.

I believe that God sees our heart, He hears our cries for mercy and grace and He responds. The fact that you are obedient in tithing and wanting to do the right thing is a great step in the right direction. I would encourage you to wake up daily and give your day, your efforts, your...

OP, it really comes down to making a decision to trust and obey God. Do you trust Him? He LOVES you more than you can fathom. He knew you in your mother's womb, He has a plan for you, it is good and right. We don't know His ways because they are so much higher than our ways, so do you trust Him...

God's ways are not our ways and his will is not our will. I try to remember that, I am only human, He made me, I'm flawed on my own, but when God looks at me, through the veil of Jesus Christ, who redeemed me of my sins by taking them upon himself and who also sits at the right throne of God the...

Welcome to the forum! The most awesome part about the Christian life is realizing Jesus paid it ALL for my sins to be covered and He gave it to me, a sinner born into sin by birth, as a free gift that He graced me when I recognize my sinfulness and acknowledge Him as my only source of salvation...

Welcome! You are so wise and transparent, it's wonderfully refreshing! I'm so happy to hear that you have left behind religion and are pursuing Christ daily to become more and more like him daily. I can totally understand how you feel, getting lost in the Word is addicting and it's hard to want...
