  • 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

Feeling useless...

Lately I've been feeling useless within the family...I know this isn't true...I watch my son 24/7...but I feel like I should be contributing financially somehow... I'm expecting again and there's no real point for me to return to work right now...in fact, I quit my job after my last maternity ran out because it would have only been for a few months and we don't have a second car anyways..

I just hate being in debt and not helping with it at all...

I've tried a home business..which I didn't have the time for since it required a lot of phone time and I couldn't manage that with my son around..which put even more onto our debt..not a lot, but enough...

Please pray that I will find what I can do to help...I just feel so unsatisfied and like I'm not doing something that I should be...Please pray for guidance...that I'll find out where God wants me..

Thanks.


I guess I should add..Even though helping my family financially would be nice...I just need something to help me feel...productive...even if it's not financially profitable, I need to feel...like I'm doing something to help, that wouldn't get done if it weren't for me...if that makes sense..

Father, thank You for blessing this mother with a son to take care of. This is her first most treasured job, to take care of her and her husband's precious son. I pray and ask that You will grant her guidance as to what kind of job she can do on top of that to contribute to the family income. Bless this family with health, and peace and financial stability, so there won't be any lack, In Jesus Name, Amen

Dear Lord, this sister of mine is wanting a more productive life (even though she is being very productive by being a mother). For this, I thank You and praise You. Lord, You are aware of her deepest desires and her inmost strengths. Please help her find ways to contribute financially, or if You have other plans for her please show her the way to serve You even more. Lord, I ask that You use her greatly for Your purposes and continually bless her for her desire to serve.
