When I first came to CF back in February... I was lonely... lost... and wondering what I was doing wrong in my christian walk. I felt like a failure and a fraud. I hated my job. My home was not healthy. My relationships were in shambles. I was isolated and bitter. I was mad at God for letting my life be so miserable.

Praise God for all the love and support I've found on CF. I gained the strength and conviction to stop viewing porn. I made a commitment to stick to my job as a teacher and learned to love my students and my job unconditionally. I took a leap of faith and moved into a new home and it is the best situation I've ever lived in... with the best roommate I could have possibly imagined. I'm no longer bitter at God... I know that I needed to walk through the past few years of grief... so I could learn more about him. My relationships are growing and developing and I want to get out and live the life that God gave me.

CF has been a huge avenue for healing. Praise God for Erwin and his vision... the moderators and their willingness to fill this need.. the people who have befriended me... and for the folks who read and responded to my journal. I no longer need to keep a journal here. God used it to fill a void in me. Now I want to see what the rest of life is like here on CF.

Praise God I've been healed. :bow:

This is so wonderful to hear, Laurel! :clap: Praise be to God that He led you to CF! :hug:


I second that praise! I've also decided to start journaling again in CF because it is still a good avenue for expressing the deepest needs of my heart. I found that I missed journaling in CF and realized that it's not an "either or" situation. I can be healthy, happy, AND journal in CF. God pulled me out of the miry pit... and I want the world to know about it. Thanks for the hugs and the rep. It helps to know that I matter. :)

Peace to you Kid.

That is an incredible testimony laurel. That God for His goodness and mercy towards us. God bless you so much.:hug:


Hey Jessica,

An incredible testimony about an incredible God. Who but God would give Erwin a vision for something so healing as CF? It never ceases to amaze me how far reaching this ministry is. When I see flags from countries I've never even heard of... and get PM from people on other continents... the world and it's problems seem that much smaller.

Thank you for your kind words. I needed them this week. :)
