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.

tina I so know what you are going through. I hate change, just ask my fiancee, he will tell you. These past two years have been one change after another for me. I have moved 3 times already, and will be moving at least two more times by the end of this year. My parents also moved 7 hours away and now my sister is moving, to be closer to my parents. I am not saying that it is going to be easy or that I have had more changes than you, trust me, I am just trying to give you an example. Through it all I have found that change can be a very good, positive thing. now is the time to spread your wings, get closer to God and discover the world. Take every change as it comes. Like right now i am in the process of possibly losing my job just months away from my wedding and my fiancee comeing home after being in the millitary for four years. I have definatly grown closer to God and my walk has blossmed emensly. In fact on Sunday my future father-in-law told me how impressed he was with me. He has seen me go through alot, he has known me since I was 12 years old. He even saw me come to Christ. But what really struck him was how I handled all the things that are going on in my life right now. Some days it feels as though the world is falling apart all around me. But with God, I am making it through and so can you.

Hey tina, I'm sorry to hear about your situation and I know the feeling to a degree. Like you, I just graduated from high school and just this last week my best friend moved half way across the country to Idaho for his college. It's rough but fortunately we can still keep in touch.
I myself am actually heading halfway across the country in a different direction as well when I go to school in Texas next fall. The best advice I have is to pray about it and make sure you are sticking to God's will for your life. When you are doing what He wants from you, you'll have nothing to worry about!

Yeah, things get really interesting when you get out of high school.
But don't be scared. Nothing in life ever stays the same. You hang in there and everything will be fine. God never changes. Hang on to him through the storm.
*hug*

Tina, there is a book that I would suggest that you read. It's not very long, very easy reading. The book is called "The On-Purpose Person". Can't think of the author right now sorry. The book is told in 3rd person format about a buisness man who has everything but yet has no fullfillment in his life.
The reason why I mention this book is because you are only 18 and right now would it be a great time to read this book. This book helps you too realize that in order for us to be happy about what we are doing in life we must have a purpose. If you are out of highschool and do not have definitive plans this book will help you put in order and prioritize things in your life.
It's easy to dwell on the negative, like losing your friends to college, military, and what not. That happens to 90% of us. It did too me. I rarely see anyone from highschool anymore. And the majority of the ones that I do see, have done nothing to really better themselves. That's why I suggest you read the book.
18 for me seemed like yesterday, buy next month I will be 28.
Take the time to read this book, find what your passion is and what you want to do. Make that passion what drives you. You may be surprised to find out what you need to make a part of your life and what you can do without. But always make God first. "The steps of the rightieous are ordered of God".
I hate to sound like a father, but I hate to see young adults and teens have no direction.
Good luck, and don't worry, you will have more friends and people to meet. Remember you were in Highschool for 4 years. I now have friends that I have been friends with for close to 6-7 years that I have met after highschool. A new door is opening. Just walk through it because God is holding your hand as you go.
