  • 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.

This is a sensitive subject for me .. I recently had a tubal reversal 6 months ago and my hubby and I have been TTC since November...I currently have 3 sons from a previous marriage which my husband is about to adopt within the month. I feel that I have very little time to conceive due to being 32 years old and i pray daily for God to bless us with a child. :help: My heart aches to have a child and to bring a child into a loving relationship with God as the head of our home means so much to me. I feel like I have days that I amjust depressed and without hope... Being a new Christian makes it evn harder because I never know where to turn in the scriptures for hope or encouragement. Do any of you have any suggestions?

my cousin just had her first baby, she is 47 and a great mom.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself to concieve quickly. Somtimes our bodies need time to adjust. I will keep you in my prayers.

Please seek out someone in your church, a pastor's wife, or maybe she or the pastor can direct you to someone who has experienced this who can help you.

Hang in there and keep your faith. Continue to pray and I agree that talking to people in your church - your pastor is always a great place to start or some other women that you are comfortable with - they might be able to point you in the right direction. Don't worry I don't think you are running low on time. Enjoy the time trying as much as you can and just keep your faith.

Hi southernsunshine :wave:

I can't imagine what you must be going through. It's important to find someone that you can talk to and that can pray with you.

I'm at present ttc and my favourite scripture has been so awesome and encouraging lately. Ps 61:2. It says, "when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I". God is the best counsellor and the greatest comfort ever. I pray that He will lead you and guide you to finding someone that will walk this road with you and that understands your pain. You're in my prayers. :pray:

Much love
pooky
