• 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

Prayer requests post here!

I did well on my three exams this past Friday and the one I had on Monday. I have a cumulative final this Friday, so please remember me in your prayers again, if you would. I have to pass this one, or all the rest will have been in vain. I don't understand how a course can be set up like this, but it is what it is.

Prayers!!

I hope things went well. :)
It did and I'm so relieved. Now I just have the NCLEX sometime in May (and I've been told it's way easier than a lot of what we've done up to this point).

Despite my increased church attendance and how wonderful Pascha itself is, I'm still struggling with the same issues I've brought up before. I won't get into it again, but it has been hurtful to me, and keeping in mind that I'm at church for my salvation and nothing else is hard to do in light of it. It's also unpleasant when I overhear people talking about other parishioners when they think others can't hear them. So, it's obvious I'm not the only one going through issues. On the bright side, my priest did talk to me for the first time in three years on Friday, so there's that. However, the idea of community outside of the body and blood of Christ is fickle. Please keep me in your prayers.

You are in my prayers!

Not prying into your business by ANY means, but sometimes I have had to get specific advice on how to handle certain things I've struggled with.

And some things it is still difficult to deal with even WITH specific advice. ESPECIALLY where other people are involved. I just can't bring myself to say what Fr. C advised me to say in a particular situation because I think it would just come across as too fake or holier-than-thou or something of some sort to cause more trouble than it solves. Lord have mercy!

You have my prayers, as always, such as they are anyway.

My sister is currently in the hospital with kidney issues. They don't know what is causing everything- which is why she's been admitted after being kept for observation all day. She's eight months pregnant (the baby is fine) and has had a perfectly healthy pregnancy up to this point (and was extremely healthy and athletic before pregnancy). She lives on the other side of the country so we aren't able to be there with her. Please keep her in your prayers.

my sister has been burgled of everything but her clothes and food in the fridge.
Please pray for her, but also for those that did the burgling.

She was insured thankfully but is living in an empty apartment till the claim is approved.

I've had so many prayer requests lately (and I have really appreciated everyone that has taken the time to pray).

As an update on my sister and my nephew, she is doing much better and he will be able to go home from the NICU this week. My parents are out there in CA now to be with her (we're staggering our visits so she won't be overwhelmed).

I take my licensing boards next Thursday (and starting the job I've been offered is conditional on whether or not I pass). I am understandably stressed out. I really need to pass. I've already had to reschedule once so I could go out to CA to be with my sister, and that has thrown off everything for a week or so regarding my study schedule. Please keep me in your prayers as I get last minute studying in and take my exam.
