  • 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 new to this. I needed someone to talk to because my life has not been going according to plan lately.
I've been messing up things a lot in my life and trying desperately to get my life on track.
I'm 24 yrs old and have been out partying way too much. It has been affecting my work and my relationship w my family.
My mother is the most important person in my life and we are doing awful. I feel like I let her down so much in the past few years and now again.
With the holidays coming up, I'm trying to correct things, but I really have no one to talk to or help. I think everyone is just giving up on me. They've tried to help me so much, and I just keep screwing up.
I haven't been to church since Easter and want to go, but scared. I'm afraid God is upset and disappointed as much as everyone else is.
Guess I'm just looking for a friend or friends to help me through my hard time. :help:

Hi Angelovemine,

You can count on my prayers.

Although you may feel you've disappointed yourself and your loved ones, please keep in mind what the Apostle Paul said,

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

There is nothing you have done that is bigger than God's love for you. Please don't let anything, not even your own feelings of guilt, stop you from intimacy with God. If you open your heart to Him, He will embrace you. The Holy Spirit will also empower you to overcome the temptations in your life that lead you to fall.

The road may not always be easy, but it's well worth the fight to overcome.

Signed:
Been There, Done That, and Empowered to Overcome,
Midnight Oil
:pray:

angelofmine,

I understand. I started getting high when I was about 17, and it ended up being a trap that got deeper with time. It destroyed all of my relationships (including my relationships with God and myself), and I ended up driving away most of the people who I ever loved or who ever loved me.

I couldn't quit until I stumbled into Narcotics Anonymous, and although there are lots of people there who aren't Christians, it ended up being the path that led me back to the Church.

There IS hope. By the grace of God you can stop using, lose the desire to use and find a new way to live.

Do yourself a favor: stick with the ladies in this matter, ESPECIALLY in private mails. There are a lot of guys who'll take advantage of you; for my part I only exchange posts with women in a public forum.

And God understands better than any of us can possibly know. Turn to Him.

The grace and peace of our Lord be with you.
