• 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.

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
