• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Marital Status
Private
I sit here in the darkness of my room
alone with my thoughts and the screen
I have no ides where this feeling is coming from
But at the same time I do

Over and over again I have been let down
My heart starts to hope for possibilities
But at the same time I am guarded
Not completely allowing myself to dream

I see people being matched up
I hear my friend talk about her man
I see my other friend giggle over texts
I see the joy in my married friend's eyes

Oh how I have longed for that kind of joy
How I have desired to share a life with another
My eyes fill with tears as my heart grows heavy
I am saddened by my lonely state

My heart has been broken five times
Each new time has been worst than the last
This past time I doubted I would ever recover
For the damage reached into my spirit

I have recovered and am now starting to hope
My eyes seek out words of love and tenderness
My ears strain for affectionate whispers
My heart yearns to be ignited with passion

I am saddened by my desires
For as much as I hope and dream It cannot happen
There are no suitors that have come to pass
And God has not yet released me

Or if He has then I'm ever waiting
Waiting for the man He has for me
One who will protect my spirit through my heart
Who won't use lofty words without meaning

My heart and spirit are crushed
I dare not hope for fear of being denied
I dare not dream for fear of rejection
Yet I want to dream and long to hope

Whatever am I to do
My heart is sad and my spirits wane
I don't think that love will come again
I don't believe that it could bear to be broken again
