  • 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 almost full term on this lil one now, and it seems that the closer I get to the due date, the more life speeds up. First, my husband has taken a second job in order to make up for the time I will be off this summer. PLEASE pray for him as I am worried he will work himself sick. He will be working two full time jobs. :cry: However, along with this job, I am home alone ALOT now and that makes me miss being with my family (they are 500 miles away) and I worry about going through baby stuff all by myself. I have been having dreams of going into labor and having to get to the hospital and deliver all alone. That is scary for a new mom!

Also, after the baby comes my dear hubby will still be working two jobs so I will still be here without much of a support system. I want to do everything right, but I can only do what I can do with God's help.

So my request is for prayer that I will make it through all these changes and that I will feel the Hand of God with me no matter who is physically with me. And that we get our money situation fixed so my hubby can be home more.

Thank you! :)

E-beth,

Is there NO way you can get along with just one job?

Can you cut back on expenses somehow?

I feel sad that your husband is going to be lost to you and your baby because he will be working so much. The baby years are priceless, worth more than all the cable tv and cell phone bills put together.

Maybe moving to a smaller house would help make time for your husband to be there for your baby? I just hate to see him lose out on all the joys of fatherhood for the sake of money.

Praying for all of you!

I pray that God blesses you financially, because he is already blessing your family with a new child. I pray that he blesses your husband with time, to spend with you and his new baby. Being a parent is difficult, especially if the most of the work is on one person. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. I pray for your health as well as your childs, i pray for your husbands strenght, he is a good man to try and provide this way for you both. God Bless, and keep us informed

Thanks for the prayers everybody!

Lambslove, we are gonna try to move when the lease is up, which will be in August. Hopefully we will find a place that is cheaper and that will take the edge off. Right now on rent payweeks we are tapped out until the next payday. The new job will help with that some.

I know that God will provide and that all burdens make us stronger. It is just scary in the meantime.
