• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Blessings from God

I am being blessed right now with a stormy day that is encouraging me to stay home and rest. I feel like GOd has really been trying to get across to me to " Be still and know that I am God" Psalms

I am trying to choose the better thing, spending time with my God rather than spending time serving Him. It is hard for me and so today is our day, God's and mine!

I am being blessed for stepping out in faith and trusting God with my sons education. I recently pulled him out of school and placed him in a private school where he only attends 2 hours a day 4 days a week and other than that the responsibility falls on me to see to it the work gets done... I was terrified of such responsibility for there are times I am unmanageable and fail to keep up on my end of things muchless manage someones education. But I felt that was the direction i was being lead so I did it...and my son has NEVER done this well ever. He is Bipolar and is a compulive loner being tested now for Aspbergers I haven't seen all A's EVER. Praise God there is hope!

Today... well, actually, in the past few days, I've gotten my relationship with God "back on track" - I really hadn't been praying much or anything, had let that slide and was feeling like He was aeons away - and with that came the realisation that I am blessed with the mental illnesses and problems that I have. I can cope with them, and they have taught me so much about life. And for that, I am thankful!!!

I mean, honestly, I don't know what I'd be like without bipolar (previously diagnosed as severe clinical depression, morphed into bipolar with severe psychotic symptoms), EDNOS with anorexic tendencies, and anxiety disorder NOS. And with all that ... I am still me!! And I can still function, still do well in college, still love and live.

And it has been over a year since I have attempted suicide.
THAT is AMAZING!!! As is the fact that I survived the previous attempts.

Life is good now, even at its worst.

I am trying to look to God in big things like soulwing shared and small, like I am about to share :)

I praise God that the insurance company for the young man that backed into my car is admitting their responsibility and although they have a horrible pay out etc history, I am trusting God to take care of me!!!

God doesn't speak directly very often but He did to me a few days ago. From the blog. (See below)

From the book Believing God by Beth Moore:
"...pray, I must. It's God's will even when I can't tell if it's changing a thing.

Though I may practice these disciplines in various ways, I do them virtually every day. Why? Because God seems to like them."


------------------

I can't do a lot to actively serve others. I just do what I can here and there. I was going over:

1 Corintians 15:58
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

I felt like God was telling me to continue to be a pray-er. Make sure I don't let that slip. That is what I can and like to do to labor in the Lord.

It may not sound like it, but it was encouraging to me. Sometimes I feel like I'm good for nothing but He's reminding me of an important thing I can do.

For me God has become clearer. Ever since my mind has been clearing up God has grown in my daily reality. I find it beautiful to become aware of God in my life from so many angles. I never have thought so deeply on God than I do now. And my life with Him is growing. We serve a wonderful God that much I know for certain.

One of the most important things we can do!!1 Thank you for your prayers and for reminding me that God has been talking to me about this as well as I have gotten busy and let this slip!

What a blessing to me it has been to read all of the sharings and encouragements of everyone her! Thank you for sharing!

Today I am taking a quiet day at home, hopefully will do some praying and then heading to the coast this weekend with my dear hubby to spend more time learning to be non-busy and studying about "godliness with contentment is great gain" I believe that is in 1 Timothy, but I have always been so bad a references!

Blessing to you all!

God Bless You,

Well to make a long story short my home church has finally ordered my published book " A Touch of Peace," for the bookstore and will contact me to do a booksigning when the books arrive within several weeks.

The truth is that the Pastor read my book and asked them to order it, in November or December but it never took place. I was discouraged, because many of the ladies in the cell-group I attend kept asking me when it would be available. I did not have an answer for them and I was a little embarrassed about it, but I had to believe that if God wanted this book to be placed in the bookstore He would make a way.

Anyway, I get this phone call and an email telling me the great news. God is truly in control of all things and He is always on time.:)
