  • 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

That's beautiful Jaelyn, I love your name as well!

My positive thought is that in the past few weeks, I have really felt like I am progressing well and that all of my hard work is paying off. More and more people are noticing it. Secretly, I am really enjoying having other people notice. But I also want to keep a level head about it because I know there's still a long way to go, so I would never really talk about how nice it makes me feel, as I don't want anyone to think I am vain or full of myself. I am blessed to have been given the strength to make the right choices and to work on myself. I am grateful that I've had friends and family who have supported me as I have been changing. I have so long to go, but I have come very, very far in the past 5-6 years or so.

That is so wonderful, Tins, and I am really happy for you. I can actually totally relate to you in so many ways. I know how it feels. And don't worry, there is nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself. You are God' creation, His beloved masterpiece, and you bring a smile on His face each time He looks at you. God's will is that we love ourselves and satan's will is that we become prideful and vain, but if you keep your focus on Jesus and I KNOW you do, you will never be trapped to do satan's will. Cause you have crossed from death to LIFE! God bless you and I pray He will continue to work inside you and bring you to being more like Him. He is going to do so much more than you can imagine or dream about. With Him, impossibilities are playthings.

So my random positive thought for today is that... God did not give me a spirit of fear, but of courage. He is perfectly able and will surely guard what I've entrusted to Him.

I am so grateful for the letters and cards that people sent me when I was a teen and young adult. I kept most of them and am now sorting through them several years later. I forgot most of what they said, but in reading them now I see just how much I was loved even though I deemed myself so unlovable then. I was so messed up, and hated myself, but my best friend then and my grandmother both loved me so much and sent me letters and cards. I've kept letters from other friends too and each of them means so much to me. It's a lost form of special communication...nothing like a hand written card or letter...I admit I don't even send them that often to people. But it's great to revel in what used to be. It puts a smile on my heart. ♥

"Anchor"

I have this hope
As an anchor for my soul
Through every storm
I will hold to You

With endless love
All my fear is swept away
In everything
I will trust in You

There is hope in the promise of the cross
You gave everything to save the world You love
And this hope is an anchor for my soul
Our God will stand
Unshakeable

Unchanging One
You who was and is to come
Your promise sure
You will not let go

Your Name is higher
Your Name is greater
All my hope is in You

Your word unfailing
Your promise unshaken
All my hope is in You

Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
