• 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

hey :wave: all

I'm making this thread for me, but I want to invite any and all who want to join in on my challenge to join.

The reasoning behind the challenge is that in life it's easy to forget to reframe our minds to be fixated on the positive aspects of our mission here on earth, especially for those who have extra physical or emotional challenges; yet, in order to make bountiful our good acts it must be done. God calls us to strive to be holy even as He is holy, and I want to do that as much as I am able. So I am challenging myself to write down statements to help me in this mission, and in combination with my prayers and devotions I believe I can move forward.

The challenge is to refine and reflect on my positive mission by writing out statements of the powerful objectives of that mission, I also am formated it in the form: some fruits that come, my intended offering, and finally my intended commitments, to maximize its impact. I will use the fullness of my character to not include “will not” statements. I will add more as I commit to more and begin to implement more in my life, though I shall remain committed to all that I have laid down and reflect on each one. :prayer:

My first: Investment
I will receive identity, purpose and direction by investing in strong organizations that encompass the principles I believe organization should encompass. I will know these organization by their genuine interest in new ideas and curiosity toward solution originated methods of production. I support them with my time, money and ideas; I commit to looking for these organizations and opportunities to invest by devoting time to the search and making this commitment a part of my life style. I have confidence in myself and my ability to invest in these organizations and that even a small investment shall compound by Gods grace to make a large difference! May God, guild me in His will on this matter, and by the Holy Spirit may I gain the strength to be continually reminded of all I have stated here today :)

My first:

I realize I am not alone in my depression and that this state of mind is an attack that is mean to keep me from Christ. Focus on helping others in my same situation and together rise above it, be happy, and closer to God. I am working on a website dedicated to those depressed and feeling alone - a place of community of lost souls looking to connect with others to talk and feel a sense of togetherness. A place that share biblical guidance as well as human community. That is my challenge - to make that happen and realize the positive outcome of such.
