• 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

Hello All-

I am seeking wisdom as to ordering my priorities. I am trying to determine ideal priorities and I can't put it correctly. The background is:

1. I am courting (her name is Catherine)
2. I am in college, full time.
3. I am a Hall Ministry Leader, a Resident Assistant at a Christian University.

Here is my list.


God, Prayer (Uninterrupted)
God, Devotional Time (Reading and Meditation)
Family (Calling, Emailing, Facebooking)
Masters Degree
M17-2: LPG Planning and Teaching
M17-2: Personal Discipleship /w Group Leaders (1 on 1)
Catherine, Spending Quality/Good Time
Catherine, Living Life Together
Working at the ILRC
Sleep
Working Out
Job Searching
Apartment Searching
Fun, Leasure Activities
Future Development
Reading Books
Growing in the Church, Community

Any thoughts would be received well!

I would rearrange it to look a bit more like this:

God, Prayer (Uninterrupted)
God, Devotional Time (Reading and Meditation)
Masters Degree
Job Searching
Future Development
Catherine, Spending Quality/Good Time
Catherine, Living Life Together
Family (Calling, Emailing, Facebooking)

You are at a critical stage in your life, and you need to become financially secure. This means finishing college, getting a good line of work and eliminating any debt you have accumulated. You need to prepare for your future, while still cultivating the relationships that are important to you.

This is how I would rearrange it. Some people may find it odd that I put Catherine so high up, but if you're going to marry her (assuming courtship is geared toward marriage) then she should be above your family. A man shall leave his father and mother (family) and cling to his wife. That means your bond with her needs to be strengthened above that of your family, IMO.

Anyhow, good luck with everything you're juggling. Our God is with you!!! :)
