new and suffering from lonliness and depression

[castingcrowns]

Hi there! Doing chores and attending with the babies are really tiring. My advise is to talk to your husband & ask him to help you in any way he can. I am sure he would understand. Share your thoughts to him so you can meet half way, you are a COUPLE so you have to help each other. Pray for him as well. Don't worry too much.

God Bless you.

Thanks castingcrowns and lilly00 what is teen challenge?

Teen Challenge is a thirteen month faith based discipleship program for men, women, and teenagers who struggle with life-controlling issues, such as drugs, alcohol, self-injury, depression, anger, bulimia, anorexia, etc. any life-controlling issue that seperates fellowship with God.

It was started in 1958 by a man named David Wilkerson who ministered to Teen gang members on the streets, and opened up a safe haven for teens to go into. Now there are over 250 centers in the United States and 77 in other countries.

I know the info because I just graduated October 6th, and work here now as the praise and worship leader, intern, and music director.

There are adult centers as well as teen centers. you can check it out here.

I talk about it a lot, because God has just transformed my life through this program...

but I love when people ask, because it gives me an opportunity. I just don't want it to get to the point where it is counted as spam. When I first got on, I was just telling everyone, and decided to just put it in my siggy, because it is a part of me now. It is my ministry, and I am a full time missionary. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be free from any life-controlling issue and wants a stronger relationship with God. the hard part is being away from family for 13 months, with only 2 calls a week and no internet. but it is so worth it. because I am free now.

Hi Song

Yeah very relaxing and also I found I had lots of 'connections' when I sewed.

I think the 'sewing up' of things, made me, in my brain, put things together and make connections. It was effortless too.

Right that s it, Im looking for a sewing machine right now.

I got so much pleasure out of it.....it was good for me

I just love material, textures etc.....sometimes I just go into fabric places just to take it all in and run my hand over the different textures.

I need to make a plan

Do you have a machine Song?

Hi i'm new and really feeling down. I guess I just need some support. I am a SAHM of three year old twins and my husband is gone all the time. I feel so alone and like I just can't do this anymore. I have been alone with the twins for five straight days.

Praying for you!

Praying for you, that you would feel God's presence and be comforted.

Hi Honey,
It's so difficult to stay at home with small children, anyway. Many mothers experience alot of loneliness, but with all your dealing with it would just make it all the worse. I think you are alot stronger than you think. I do believe you should see a doctor to see if you can get help for your condition......I can't imagine how you feel, so I'm just going to say that. I know there have been many famous people who have had it, also. Do you remember Willard Scott, the weather man for the Today show. And also Paula Deen on the Food network.

Of course, you need relief now. I hope for now you will find the christian community and support you need. I am new and totally amazed by this forum. I had looked for something like this for many years. I believe God is speaking thru these gifted, loving, kindhearted people.

Be a mom is the most rewarding thing in my life. Besides knowing the Lord and also my husband. You, of course, have needs for social interaction and just to get out there in this world. I pray in time, you will be helped. I believe that the Lord will be with you every step of the way. I know Dr. James Dobson and Focus on the Family a radio program and they also have a website. He instilled in me thru his guests and his own opinions, that motherhood is the most important ministry a woman can ever have. He stressed that when possible, the mom should be at home. I know you don't think you are having an impact, but I know you are.
I was home with my pre-schoolers without a car. I'm not in the same position as you, and I don't know how you feel physically, but we used to just sit on a tablecloth and have a picnic. You can have it indoors or outdoors. Little things are huge things to children. I was too exhausted to read to my children at night, but before nap time we had a routine where I would read to them. Then we all took a nap. Also, is there a christian group for stay-at-home moms. Also, home schooling moms are great.

One more thing about your haird. Call the company who made the product and they will guide you thru how to change your hair. It is important how you feel about the way you look, and it was great that you tried. God Bless, I will be praying for you.
