• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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

You are God's idea..Anything GOd thought of and created is already valuable. You belong to God. THerefore, when you need affirmation, approval, or admiration, reflect on what you came from (Royalty); remember who you came from (The King of Kings); recall why you came (to fulfill purpose and destiny assigned by GOd himself). THerefore, your identity and worth are NOT based on where you live, whom you marry, or what you do. Because you live, move, and have your being in Christ.. Just BE....

thanks Savedsis, I think it's just one fo those things that is really hard to grasp, that God could love me, soo many people struggle with it, it's like, you can know it in your head, but not know it and feel it in your heart! it makes no sense really as to why he would love us! but, he's our creator, at soul survivor, at the soul sister talks, RAachel I think her name was was saying about this pot thing that she thought was hideous that her mum had had ever since she could remember, she asked her mum about why she kept it there, this hideous thing ont he windowsill, clashing with all their habitat furniture, and she turned around and said, your brother made this when he was really little, I helped create your brother, and he created this, it is more beautiful than anything to me because it was something that gave in joy. it went something like that anyway, it was showing that as our creator, he loevs us completely, we are works of art to us, and he's soo proud of the thnigs we create and do for him! they are completely beautiful to him! one of those things that makes his love for us real!
