• 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

What difference does it make?

Hi C,
I've been thinking about you wanting to know what your purpose in life is. I think that if we obey and trust God and are living in His will then His purpose for us will be revealed. We might not always be able to see it, but sometimes we might be able to. From our perspective our lives are like looking at the back of a tapestry, it doesn't look like anything. But God can see the tapestry from the front and He can see what it really looks like. I hope that makes sense. All I can say is trust Him and do what He wants you to do and hopefully you will see that your life does have a purpose.
:hug:

Hi C,
I really hope you do manage to do it, let me know. :hug:
Hi T.
I started one, but it's not my best, but all i need is the ending. It seems to be
elusive. I think i have it, then i don't, but it's getting there.
C:wave: :hug:

It's really good to hear, at least its progress. :clap:
:hug: :thumbsup:
Hi T.
I guess it's progress, unless it goes unfinished. Then it'll be like Beethovens'
unfinished symphony. Have you ever
thought of trying to write a song?:hug: :p

Hi C,
Any further with your song?
I've never thought about writing a song, I don't think just anyone can do it, I think you have to have the talent to do it, like writing a book.
Hi T,
Yeah, I've finished it, but i don't think it reads very well. It sounds okay with music, but just reading it leaves a bit to be desired, but here goes.

Where's the one who used to fill my soul.
Where's the one who filled my heart,
Where's the one who used to hold me up, whenever life got hard.
Where's the one who used to be,
By my side everyday,
Where's the one who used to hold my hand, and chase those blues away,
Chorus
The love you said all the way,
Would be by my side,
The love you said that would dry my tears, that filled my eyes, the love you said would calm the seas, whenever they got high.
Verse
Why do you think I'm not here,
Where do you think i would go,
Do you think i sent my son, who for you His blood did flow.
I told there'd never be a time, that i would leave,
I told you right by your side, is where I'd always be,
So why would you ever think, that I'd go away,
When it's for an eternity, with me i want you to stay.
Chorus
End.
Well that's it. I still don't think it reads well.
C.

Hi T.
I've read the way you write things, and i bet you could write a song if you wanted to.

My pleasure.

Are you doing any better? Do you think writing that song helped at all?
:hug: :wave:
Hi T,
I don't know if writing the song helped or not. Maybe. I'm not sure if i wrote it from what i know about God, or whether
God inspired it. I hope it's the latter of the two. That would be my desire anyway. What would you say? does it look inspired, or does it seem to be written from a memory?
C.:hug: :p :scratch:

Thanks but if I haven't said anything that's actually helped solve your problem then I haven't done very much have I? :sigh:
:hug:
Hi T.
That may be so, but the things you say may be helping to build the road to
recovery. So if you say something that has added a brick to the road, you've helped. That's what i feel recovery is, putting things back together one piece at a time.:hug: :hug: :thumbsup: C.
