Hi,
My name is Kristen.
I've joined for guidance and enlightment on Scripture. I accepted Jesus as my Savior at 7 years old. My faith has always been strong and has guided most of my decisions. However I have strayed in the last 20 years.
It was not until my husband suffered a heart attack that I truly started leaning on God and reaching out. Unfortunately he passed 32 days later leaving me a young widow two small children. This brought me back to the flock and I have been faithfully studying and praying since.
I had started a relationship with a fellow widower but we have recently decided to take it back to a friendship for now as the timing is just not right at the moment. So I am mostly searching God's word for guidance on being a widow and his promise for timing and relationships.
Thank you for having me :)

Hi Kristen;
welcome to CF; May the Lord Jesus guide you here as well as in the world; and may you find friends and what ever you need from the Lord here. I do have a question for you; do you like music--Praise & Worship music? Well we have a new forum here at CF just for P&W music and at the top is a directory of other Christian music threads around CF; come and take a look!:wave:

Praise and Worship Music
