• 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

I can't remember whether I posted an intro before; it's been a long time since I posted here.

I'm a 39 y/o woman from South Africa. I live in a small town with my boyfriend of nine months. We eventually want to get married, but money is tight and there are other complications.

I struggle with depression, but I'm taking medication and leaning heavily on God for guidance. I'm an extremely introverted person who finds it easier to make friends online that I have common interests with, particularly fellow Christians.

My hope is to find true friendship and fellowship here. To be guided in my issues with depression and a sense of abandonment.

In this coming week I'll be blessed with a brand-new laptop and I have been offered a typing job. I pray that the Lord remains with me overall and continues to walk with myself and my partner, who has not had an easy life and still faces many struggles of his own.

Blessings and Jesus love to all.

Welcome to CF. If you need help with depression, I can try my best. You can post in the depression sub forum, if you want to. On the bright side, it is good that you are getting a new laptop. What is the marquee of the new laptop?

Greetings. One the things I practice and encourage others to do is sing the word of God.
I'd like to dedicate a scripture song for help in dealing with depression.

Your sorrow will be turned into joy, joy, joy.

Welcome to CF! I pray for healing for your depression and that the Lord would provide financially for your relationship. May the Lord comfort you in His kindness and guide you in His wisdom.
