Hi!
I'm a married mother of 2 little boys ages 3 and 11 months. I came to this site in hopes of finding great christian friends with my same moral values and views on living my life and raising my children and for advice and prayers on helping me through problems that are occuring or that may occur in my life. Currently we don't attend church because my husband is Catholic and I consider myself non-denominational. He refuses to go to a church other than Catholic and I feel uncomfortable in a Catholic church. I would love to have a church that I feel I belong to, that we could all belong to...I want that fellowship and involvement so badly. It is very important to both my husband and I that we raise our children as Christians though. My oldest currently attends Awanas and loves it. I want them to know Christ.
My husband and I have our problems...sometimes daily. It's upsetting. We see things differently and that makes it hard. We also are not in the best financial situation so it's put a lot of stress on us...it seems like we just can't catch a break. I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease about 2 1/2 years ago. It's called polymyositis. It's been hard on me and though we've tried a few times to get me off medication I just continue to flare. I'm currently flaring now and just started medication again last Sunday. I feel so stressed out and just wish for a little break. A Jeremy Camp song recently came out called There Will Be a Day. It's wonderful and speaks right to my heart. I have to remind myself that I'm blessed with 2 wonderful sons and a roof over my head, food on the table and clothes on our backs. ...that all of this that we go through and that we do will be rewarded in the end.

Hello and welcome to CF. I also have two little girls, I went through hard times in my marriage, and sometimes I'm really stressed with my kids, it's as you've said... sometimes you just wish to have a little break. But you know, with God's help, everything is possible! He gives me strength and peace to move on, even if this life is filled with all kind of problems and shortcomings. Trust in God, be sincere and pray to Him and I'm sure He will make things easier for you. I'm praying for you that you and your husband will agree on attending one church, and that your health situation will get better.
Remember, you are never alone, God is with you!
God bless you! :wave:

Thanks! Your quote from the scripture is one of my favorites. It's so true! Thanks for your kind words.

Hi Dez, welcome to CF, my wife and I are on a similar situation as regards to our Christianity, she is non-denominational and me a Catholic, she feels uncomfortable in my Church, but we met in the middle years ago and have no problems. But these are not your immediate problems, I will remember you in my prayers to do with your health and other problems.

It's good to know someone is in my same situation! May I ask what you both have done to meet in the middle? Where do you go to church at? Thanks!
