    Are you ever afraid you won't "measure up?"

    Thank you for this. I am terrified but I just can't shake the excitement when I think about all the positions available to me. I've also thought about doing something in Juvenile Justice. I can really relate to the younger generation because of my past and all I've been through. I think I...

    Are you ever afraid you won't "measure up?"

    In the past, I have slacked off because the mood stabilizers made me feel numb and I hated it. I couldn't cry or feel sad, and I was never truly in a happy mood. I was always just...there. When I switched meds, it's not as bad. But it's still somewhat there. So, to answer your question...

    Are you ever afraid you won't "measure up?"

    I am in college studying Forensic Psychology within the Criminal Justice field. It has been a goal of mine to work for the FBI after graduation. At first, this seemed like an excellent idea. But lately, I'm intimidated by it. In the recent months, two people my husband has done work for...

    Do you ever feel drained or frustrated?

    Do any of you who are active in healing ministry ever get so drained or frustrated that you feel like you need a break? I am very active within post-abortive ministry and I feel guilty about wanting a break from it from time to time. It's emotionally draining to be surrounded by negativity most...

    The Official what are you drinking thread (9)

    Diet Rite, which surprisingly is good. I don't like diet drinks because I hate the taste of artificial sweeteners, but this is made with Splenda and isn't bad at all. :)

    Kaplan University?

    Just wondering if anyone here attends Kaplan, either on campus or online-specifically in the CJ field.

    The Davinci Code

    For the sake of education, Dr. Kennedy (Coral Ridge Ministries) is doing a 'counter' called The Da Vinci Illusion, which is supposed to air in early May. You can also buy it on VHS/DVD from his site.

    What is wrong with me?

    I used to go to a church that was really boring and I also reluctantly went because I thought it was my duty as a Christian. However, I soon realized that whenever something becomes a chore, it needs to be re-evaluated. I eventually ended up in a non-denominational church that I really enjoy.

    I can't save my husband!

    I didn't say it was justified, but like you, I don't respond well to criticism. And yes, there is ALOT more that no one here will ever know and has a lot to do with why I get so upset, but my confession was that YES, I regret it! But instead of getting prayers and understanding, I got told...

    I can't save my husband!

    I took offense to your post because you were pointing out how wrong I was out of nowhere, instead of trying to help with a solution. After reading your profile, however, I'm not as offended but hope you put your frustrations where they belong instead of on other people.

    Purpose Driven Life

    I don't know about that, I think it depends on the person in question. My husband isn't a Christian, but he really likes the book.

    Judgment vs Observation

    That's pretty much a no-brainer. lol I get what I have to do for my own sake, and I know to be patient with her (and others), but my concern is how to go about witnessing to her and being concerned without coming off as being judgemental.

    Is it simply a matter of moderation?

    I'm not interested in debating this conviction, if that's in the direction you want to go. I have my opinion, you have yours.

    Purpose Driven Life

    My husband and I are on chapter 7 today. He's a non-believer and, until recently, has pushed God away, but he loves the book and reminds me to read it with him every day! I think it has a lot of really great points for believers and non-believers alike. There are things in there that got me...

    Husband's childhood trauma

    I'm pretty speechless, but I don't think any sin is greater than another. PRAYER! LOTS and LOTS of PRAYER!!! And definitely a Christian counselor, or someone who shares your/his beliefs. I really don't know what to say other than that. I am so sorry that happened, but I believe he can get...

    Is it simply a matter of moderation?

    If our bodies are temples and need to be pure, and that list currupts the purity we need to keep, I would say I disagree that moderation is okay. In this case, there is black and then there is white, there is no gray as far as I'm concerned. However, I think if someone is going to follow that...
