Thank you Firm Believer for your prayers, they are much appreciated. I'm still working on the pulling, but in my heart I'm not sure if I'm ready for it really. I've joined a couple of Christian Dating/Friendship agencies, but nothing has come of it yet. I've had a couple of secular replies but...

Thank you all for all of your prayers. I made it to church yesterday, and it was good. We sat "Together" although with about 6 feet of pew between us, but that was ok. We shook hands at the peace and I felt peace towards him. He even bought me coffee after the service which was nice. The good...

Sean, it can be incredibly hard to cast off the chains of our past way of life, but remember that you are not alone when you are trying. Call upon God in your hour of need, His Spirit will fill you, uplift and hold you. If you fail, remember you are only human and if you go to him with a...

I'm so pleased for you that you have worked things out at the moment. I will keep you in my prayers that things will work out longer term. In the meantime, if you ever feel that you need to talk to someone, or just "vent" about your feelings, do PM me. I know how it can help to just have someone...

I guess I'm just too old for all this sort of thing. I'm divorced (my exhusband commited adultery with my live in childcare) have two children and am by myself. I'd like to meet a christian for a relationship, but most christians don't want to have anything to do with dating a divorcee...

I'm so sorry for your pain, I can relate to how you feel. My relationship with my mum as a teenager was filled with hurt and pain, rejection and mental abuse. As I got older I found the strength and courage to heal, resist and move on from it. The only thing I can say is that God loves you, He...

Feeling stronger again today, God is closer to me and is helping me through this. I had the details through today of a faith and ministry course our diocese is running and I got the daytime slot I wanted and can go to the induction day as my girls are with their father that weekend. I can...

It is, they are and He does indeed, Hallelulia. :)

Thank you all for you hearfelt words of encouragement, support and sympathy. Thank you mostly for the prayers I know you are saying for me, they really do mean a lot and I'm allready feeling the benefit of them. In a way I think Desi is right and perhaps God was/is trying to tell me something...

After 3 wonderful years together my partner has told me in the last week that he no longer loves me and doesn't want to be with me. I met him following a really horrible divorce, and I thought he was a "gift from God" and it was forever. My two girls (5&6) think he is their whole life, as did I...

I'm a bit of a late commer to this conversation, but here's my two pence worth anyway. I had the pleasure to use a Mac at work for 6 months before they "upgraded" to pc. well I have to say I'm hooked, I think Macs are brilliant. The only trouble was that in wanting to buy one for home, all the...

I can soooo agree with that last statement. I'm going through a patch where it feels like all my life is out of my control, and being able to play sims and have control over someone else is really helpful. But then I could just be a helpless adict??? :)

What a lovely way of putting things, I agree that sometimes it feels like you have a platter, but then again sometimes its only a teaplate. We've been suffering under the platter load for a bit, but your quote from your friend " if God brought you to it, He'll get you through it" is brilliant...

Thanks Lexy, its good to be reminded that our God is faithful to us. life seems better and I feel a lot more positive about things now. I know that God has a plan for me/us, and if I'm patient and pliable it will be easier for him to show me that plan. :)

In my humble opinion Christmas is too comercialized, its too easy to forget the real meaning behind christmas. But having said that, as a Christian, why shouldn't I go all out to celebrate christmas, its the celebration of the arrival on earth of my saviour and if I can't shout about that, then...

I agree with Lambslove, saftey consious or not, guns are dangerous things, and teenage boys aren't known for level headedness all the time. Maybe its cause I live in the UK where guns aren't a common thing, but I'd be furious in your situation. I pray for you all.

well, don't know what happened there, but having put my hand up, I suppose I'd best admit what for! I'm the partner of The Doctor, a wonderful man who did the hard work to find you all here, at a time when I really needed a break from the other "christian" site I had been posting on. thank...

Ok, I'll put my hand up :wave: :clap: 

I agree with you both, its not fair for the other children, that your children mix with, if you have told yours that santa doesn't exist and their parents have told them that he does. Why should you spoil the fun for other families that may not share your religious beliefs? and is it right to...

Hi Lexy, thanks for that insight, the book you mention sounds really good. And thank you for the reminder to be clothed in God's armour against the Devil. Sometimes you get caught up in the struggle and don't look at it from a distance and realise your armour has holes in it. At least I know...
