Hello from England

[Dana777]

Shalom,

Just joined this forum so thought I should say Hi and introduce myself.
I don't use this kind of thing a lot so apologies if I ever seem ignorant.

I am a married woman living in the south west of the UK. My husband is a fire fighter and a true man of the Lord. I have been a born again believer for just over 10 years and it was my wonderful husbands witness to me that helped lead me to my Lord Saviour who radically changed me.

I have an unbelieving 14 year old daughter who lives equally between myself and her father who is into a lot of occult type stuff - it is a real.spiritual battle for her. Things are really tough in these daydfor young people and they are truly under siege.

We have 2 rescue shelter dogs who we love dearly and enjoy walking in our fathers creation with. We are currently between churches due to a difficult event. Feeling very sore and grief stricken but trusting in the Lord and singing his praises!

Solid biblical churches are very dry so praying to find one rooted IN the true gospel that hopefully is not too far a drive (currently driving a 3 hour round trip to one on the coast as visitors to the fellowship, so no chance of getting involved in weekly bible studies/prayer meetings).

That's us in a nutshell.

Welcome to CF. Glad to have you with us, and thank you for the detailed introduction.I'll say a prayer for your daughter and your whole family. I work with the youth group at my church and would have to agree that our youth are in a constant spiritual battle.

I am very happy for you and it sounds like you have a really beautiful family, so hold it close!.

I hope that God may lead your daughter in the right direction, you are certainly right when you say that it is hard for the young but also for everyone else too in these dark days, so I hope that God will bless your family.

Welcome to CF

I understand how you feel about a long trip to Church - at present I have a 100+mile round trip - I'm not looking forward to the winter

Teenagers are really having it tough now - so many pressures on them.

Hope you settle in and feel comfortable here.

Hi Dana,

I'm from the UK too. I was in Surrey until 18 months ago; now live in Chester.
Hope you manage to find a church soon - my main reason for wanting to move was that I was sick of my old one. It was, and is, going nowhere.
I now go to a Methodist/URC LEP (Local Ecumenical Project), which has a few Bible study, and prayer, groups and fellowship meetings. My husband is in an Anglican church, and we are both preachers in our churches.

God bless

Welcome to the boards, if you want to get a Bible study going let me know. CF is a big place, if you have a problem navigating it just pop in and ask a few questions, it's a friendly board.

Greetings, and welcome to CF! I have another CF friend who lives in England, and he says it's pretty rough being a Christian when so many others around him are not. But he's managing. I think you did a wise thing by joining our site. This way you can have people to share your faith and struggles with.

We have 2 rescue shelter dogs who we love dearly and enjoy walking in our fathers creation with.

Wonderful word! I believe God gave us animals to share His creation with in order to take care of them and experience the joy of their company.

God bless, and let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

Welcome to CF, Dana777! So glad you're here! Hey, if you can register and post a thread here, you aren't ignorant at all at this! We all learn as we go . Blessings on you as you search for a church and prayers for your daughter.

 

[Seraphin29]

Hello also from the UK! I'm also looking for a new church! Keep praying, I think I'm being led by prayers to the right place., Watch this space! The fact that your daughter has some spiritual leanings is possibly good news in that she may be open to anything spiritual. God bless you and I will be praying for you, & nice to see some k ore UK CF members!

I've been to Nantwich. I don't know these places very well yet, but I'm getting there.

Never been to Essex, though. :/

Hi and welcome here.

 

[Dana777]

Hi

Thank you for your welcomes.
Have a blessed day

Off to church this morning and excited about that as the sun is shining so the sea will look beautiful as an added blessing. Makes the long drive worth it

It's not bad in Essex, now my home as I've lived here 31 years! But always find Nantwich folk more friendly! Talk to strangers a lot more than here, & love going back to visit family there!
