  • 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

I am going to believe good things will happen.. even if they don't.. I cannot live or really live if I had nothing good to believe for..

That's right sister, we have to have hope. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

and Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."

Romans 5:5 "Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

Keep praying sister. And in due time, you will see God moving in your life.
I hope this encourages you. I can't imagine being in your circumstance, but we all have our crosses to bear I gather. I believe all our trials are meant to lead us to trust in the Lord first and put Him first in our lives and that when we do, He is pleased and blesses us accordingly and usually greater and better than we could ever ask or think.

Hang in there peace :hug:

Even us weirdo witches believe that all things happen for a reason, a purpose...

even the bad stuffs...and the gods know I've had enough of that in my life as well ... but also remember we're doomed to repeat those bad things if we don't allow ourselves time enough to completely heal...to find our purpose...

Hang in there :hug:

Your friends love you and pray for you :hug:

LOL at the "weirdo witches" label.

I think we all have lessons to learn on this journey of life and yes, I do believe if you don't learn them the first time you get to keep repeating them in slightly different circumstances until you finally get it. And we all know how thick headed us humans can be, right? :wave:

YES Peacechild I will pray for Australia!

I need prayers too. Haven't had a computer at work for 2 days now. Got some BAD virus that wiped out our hard drive. Got it back today at the end of the day with no programs. Installed printer wont print. Then I came home to a speeding ticket in the mail, AND I broke my dogs glass bowl!!! Bible Study is tonight but I wish I could just go to bed and cry myself to sleep. Then I think about my friend that has CANCER and I feel foolish that these stupid things get me so upset! BUT!!!! I WILL STILL PRAISE THE LORD!! Just please say a prayer for me.
