• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

What's In Store For You?

I went to school for a while (to become a teacher), but dropped out to follow my low-rent artistic dreams. Since then I've balanced part-time retail jobs with freelance gigs in music, film and art. There's no consistency to the latter and new opportunities constantly open up in various fields, so I can only tag along for the ride until something full-time presents itself.

I have depression, and there's been no bigger or effective tool in helping me cope with and manage that than my faith. God is the one constant in my life and the source of my strength and motivation. It's what keeps me going through the thick and thin of everything.

Not in school.. Made some poor decisions in my past days, but have recently turned my life around. I work for my dad at his shop detailing cars 6 days a week. Only job I've ever worked at, and though I've only been there solidly for about two years I'm loving it.

Because of my past I've never given much thought as to what's in store for the future. But now surrendering my life to Christ our Lord just a few months ago I hope to follow in his footsteps in not only taking over the business when he retires, but also growing in knowledge of The Word to the point he has. He seems to have such an endless knowledge of things at work, spirituality, apologetics and related subjects.. Which is just the biggest inspiration to me.

It takes a lot of courage to quit school and do what you love. I hope it's what you get to do for the rest of your life! And I agree that my faith has helped keep my depression and anxiety under control. It's very comforting.

I've been there. I've made my own share of bad decisions but have worked hard to turn it around. I think it's awesome that you detail cars. What is that like? I hope your faith keeps you learning your trade and building a strong relationship with your dad. ♥

I had my last exam last Friday. I am in college, this semester is done, and next semester will be the last, with only 2 subjects and final things (exams essay etc. ). I will start working in January ( as a trainee ). I think I'll stay for master's. Career is really important to me and thank God it is better and better. :)

I had depression, panic disorders, OCD... But it is much better now Thank God, and my biggest goal to myself is to be completely healthy without any anxiety as soon as possible. :)

Had a rough patch in my life as of late, I am 27 years old and currently jobless. I do as much as I can to keep money in my wallet and food in my stomach all while searching for a stable job. I am capable of doing just about any job so it shouldn't be too much longer. I build and repair computers and electronics, I occasionally work as a part time contractor repairing houses, and have an exhaustive list of hobbies, so I can get along in life doing whatever. Thankfully I have Jesus Christ in my life again and without Him I probably wouldn't be alive right now.

I'm in college, again, and I am working a few hours a week.

I have a problem planning for the future, it feels like it's never going to happen. So I don't really have any long term goals past "what am I going to eat tomorrow?".

My future looks all grey and bleak, but it's always looked like that :hrelax: It's not a negative thing, I just can't imagine that far.

I have that problem too.

Everyone in my major is all about stuff like: starting a career before graduation! And networking with future employers! And marketing yourself! And I'm just like ... I just want to pass my exams :|

I guess I wish I had more ambition. But the truth is I have no idea what I actually want to do with my life :sigh:
