• 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.

  • 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.

I really don't know how to cleary explain my question, but I'll do my best...
If everything is already planned out, and He knew us before we were conceived, then what is happening now is supposed to, right? I mean, you reading this right now is something He planned from the beginning?

Alright, that question's done. Now for the second part...
If that is correct (the former question) then why do I feel so lost? I'm sure others know what I'm talking about... the feeling that I'm not following His path, that's I've made a wrong turn. But that wouldn't be possible if everything we're doing is something He planned long before.

So all in all, how does one know if he/she is following the right path... His path?
Thanks...

God has the Plan.. but we have the choice.. it is called free will.. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman and will not come unless invited in..

Sometimes, we have a hard time hearing God.. and what His Plan is for us.. I get so caught up in my day to day.. and in talking.. talking.. talking.. that I forget that conversation is a 2-way street.. and I have to listen.. listen.. listen too...

And when I do.. I hear.. And then I must choose to keep focused on His will.. He woke me up twice on a Saturday night.. told me Take up your cross & follow me.. then Sunday morning.. I put my PC on and the "random verse' on my bible software is.. *Deny yourself.. take up your cross & follow me*.. not very random, I think..

So I have surrendered.. it is HIS Way.. Not mine.. HIS Timing.. Not mine..

More of Jesus.. Less of me..
