• 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

It is 6am here and about zero degrees outsitde. I woke at 5:30 to the sound of my furnace, which ran for a few moments and then stopped. It's turned out that all the electricity in that part of my home has blown out, including the part that starts the furnace. I'm staying calm, but I need some miracles here. I do have a small electric heater that is helping, currently this is a very challenging situation. It's too early in morning to call anyone, and this is a mobile home and with the heating coils not working, I'm also in danger of pipes freezing and none of this is currently in my budget. so if you would keep all this in prayer, and also that I would hold steady in my faith. In the past, I've started out strong in these sorts of situations and then collapsed. I need to not do that this time.

God is much bigger than the mice who ate my wires, or whatever has happened.
Thank you so much.

Well it was an easy inexpensive fix, and I'm so grateful for your prayers. It took most of the day to get the right people in the right place to do the repairs, but I didn't freak out and even resolved that if it was a major thing, it would be an opportunity to trust God more than ever to provide. It also helped me look at my economics differently. I'd been hanging on much too tightly to the prospect of recouping financially. I lost a lot when I was sick a few years back. So when this happened, I thought my home might need a complete rewiring, I have no idea what that costs, but I'm pretty sure I don't have it. Not all that long ago, it would have made me very upset to think I'd have to run up a credit card to pay for it. But today, I prayed, asked you all to pray, and got quite quickly to a point of realizing if the credit card had to happen, God could handle it. I really attribute that change to His faithfulness and you all taking care of me in prayer.


I'm a bit tired from getting up too early and having to kick into gear and handle the situation, but other than that I'm in good shape. And my manager at work even agreed to let me do some work on Saturday to make up for work lost today, something they generally don't allow. God is good!

Thank you again for your prayers. It really means a lot.
Blessings and prayers,
a
