  • 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

The most amazing turn of events in my life are just now taking place.

Today, my parents lost their injury settlement, a source for future money for me to go to school. They will appeal or ask for a review, but it will take a lot more time than I have. My job also has cut my hours from 15 to 10 hours per week (after dropping from 40 two weeks ago). There are no jobs in the city where I am, and housing is expensive.

All doors just closed to me going to school. My parents can't afford me to live rent-free, and I either have to find two jobs in two weeks to continue staying (which wouldn't make financial sense for both my parents and me) and all hope for school this spring has just fallen out the window.

I need prayer for God to open the right doors for me to go through, so that I find myself walking in His will.

Three weeks ago I was presented with a job offer in another state. Today I was asked to send in my resume. I ask for your prayers in its consideration, and that God would continue to reassure me that this is in fact his will for my life. For some reason, the doors in this direction have remained opened.

It looks like I am moving to College Station, Texas, April 1st to work for a company doing clerical/data entry type work. I pray for the right circumstances, the right timing, and the right situations if this is in fact His will.

I can hardly believe it myself. The good news is, my grandparents (who live three hours away from College Station) are willing to let me stay with them until I can find a place to move into - which shouldn't be hard because I also just happen to have $1100 back from taxes, so anything is possible at this point. I've never felt so centered at a crossroads. I just ask for your prayers for God's guiding hand to move things along so that I can finally move out and into His plan for my life.

God bless you, and thank you. :)

in Jesus,
Ryan

I am praying for you.

I have been in your situation many times. Some of the most awesome experiences that brought me closer to God was when it was when the situation was over, and I looked back over the events. I had walked through the newly opened door, and looked back. I could see how things fell in place and ended up working out for the best.

At this time you are looking at what is going wrong, but it is only wrong in your plans, not Gods. What is happening is God taking you off your road and putting you back on His. Once you are back on His road you will see why each thing happened.

These are verses I lean on when in your situation...

(expectations not met, unexpected direction or leading)

Gods ways are not our ways. Who can understand the mind of God.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths...

All things work to good, for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.

Hope they give you peace.
