Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I was last involved in an online forum. Felt like I needed some christian fellowship, so here I am. I love Jesus! But my walk with the Lord has slowed down a great deal. The fight isn't in me as it once was. I need to find that fire that once burned in me. It's still there, it hasn't gone completely out, just needs kindling. Basically i'm warn out and having hard time getting back. I'm a wife and mother of 5 grown kids. Gone back to school, seminary studies for ministry work. My school work and stuff is suffering badly. I don't mean to come on complaining and stuff, just i'm a little lost at the moment and haven't a clue to what to really say at the moment.
God bless you all!
 
sorry about the previous (very brief) post. I was on my phone, and I don't have very good typing on the phone capabilities...

please feel free to post. coming here has "helped" tremendously...i don't think its 'therapeutic,' i think...the prayers of people here help(ed) facilitate God's work in my life, including the Big First Step--coming to genuinely know Jesus and surrendering to Him (that didn't happen in my life till I'd been posting here...I think over 2 years, maybe?).

seminary can be rough. im not super familiar with the whole thing, but it seems that people in ministry are often afflicted with more melancholy and such than the typical person. blah. Even David Wilkerson--he's a personal fav, for me--had his very low points. His wife, a godly woman, did also...she wrote a book about it, I think.

so...don't think/feel you're a burden. please. and...aside from the personal struggles, there's other material to read and respond to, topics of interest here, too.

so...this time, with feeling (no, really) : Welcome to CFnet! :)
 
Hi DelightfulinJesus and welcome to Cf. :wave2

I believe God draws us to those who will lift us up and edify us and that is my prayer for you as you explore the different topics here at CF. Please feel free to ask us anything as we all grow together in the word of God.

God bless you and may you grow Spiritually along with the rest of Us :)

First I want to say, I'm so sorry for coming on one day and disappearing the next. At that time I came in and read a few post here and there, and came close to replying, but didn't. I want, and need to get into some fellowship with other believers, and pull myself out of my hidden box, so to say. I'm hoping to find some encouragement here.

Hi DIJ,
Welcome to the forum....
I look forward to seeing your posts....
It'll be interesting to hear what you're learning in seminary.
God be with you.
