close
    New plan... PLease give opinion.

    Some of you may have noticed I am kinda falling apart.  I have tried everything to get myself back together. I think I need to get back into church. I feel I am going to need the support of the church the farther down this road I go...


    I am scared to give up control. I am scared I am without redemption. I am scared the will fail.

    Good advice from PL.Gather your family around you,hold them close & hang in there.If you think your church can help,go there.I am not a believer but I know that fellowship with other people can be helpful & a good place to find fellowship is in a church group. Keep your chin up Jenn.We are all pulling for you.

    I start to fall apart little by little when I get out of the habit of reading my bible and going to church every week. I think you are certainly on the right trackby wanting to get closer to God again. As for as giving up control, God really knows what is best for us. You may actually find yourself experiencing a lot more serenity in your day to day life by letting go completely and giving it all to God.

    Thank you. I am lost. ANd need to be found.

    Good Luck Jenn!


     


     

    Jenn I kinda went without god or church for several years. I was mad at him, maybe down right pissed..A friend and I talked for a long time and he finally got through. I received my sign that he was there and started going back to church .. I'm glad i did

    Jenn

    Thank you. I am not mad I am ashamed. All He does if wonderful. Even taking my loved ones away from me and into his arms.

    Yes church is the first place I would start along with family and friends. Go back to basics and forget all the material crap we dont need , forget tv and always feel your a beautiful person. learn to be happy with yourself and being alone, we ar lucky to be born in a country above poverty and life is good. Enjoy the simple things in  life.

    If you feel you need to go down a path then go down it.

    We had a Television ad for holidays in the Northern Territory in Australia and the catch phrase was:
    "You will never never know if you never never go"

    If you want my true advise I feel you need someone who will be non judgemental and unfortuneatly you do not always get that in so called christians. It has been my experience also that they can`t keep their mouths closed re peoples personal affairs."Oh the poor dear she is having a really bad time of it" and everyone knows when you brushed your teeth and what toothpaste you used.

    Your life, your decision, I would, if it were me, try meditation under a good guru, a good psyhchiatrist. And trust me there is not stigma in seeing a psychiatrist. Nothing to be ashamed of and I will prove it.

    HEY EVERYBODY OUT THERE I SUFFERRED A SEVERE BOUT OF DEPRESSION ABOUT 11 YRS AGO AND I WENT TO A PSYCHIATRIST FOR OVER A YEAR.

    If you have a sore foot you go to a Podiatrist, if you have a dodgy heart you go to a Cardioligist. They are just names for people who have been trained to treat different areas of concern.

    As I said it is your life and your choice and you are the only one who can decide but do not take a path that you are worried about because it will NOT WORK.

    Now I await the tirade from some corners. No Jenn not you my sweet.
    Jenn

    You and your advice are the reason I asked it her. I am Christian. But there are other avinues I should also concider.

    I was in therapy for years. Until I moved here and all of the "doctors" wanted to tell me I was molested because I grow up with 5 brother and 3 different step fathers.

    I found such peace when I was active in the church. But I am not blindly lead and I just dont fit in the church. I ask questions, I argue pionts, I am vocal.

    I want the peace that passes understand. I cant find it without Christ. My daughter is crying over the stresses presently in our lives and my son in becoming withdrawn. My husband is a wreck. I am just so tired and broken. But still my hubby and I put a face on of strength. We need something to strenthen us...

    Hey Jen, we all get vengeful, I was, but I solved in the only way I could. I wrote a fairy story and she (my daughter-in-law) was the antagonist, the star and I posted it to her. She flew into a rage and most likely tore it to shreds. I was very satisfied and then I smiled and I've been smiling and chuckling ever since.

    Jenn it sounds as though your angry with God as well because of a sick family member. My father died two days ago, and I feel betrayed, by family especially who could have done more in the final hours. Right now I'm not feeling a lot of love from or for the Big Guy.

    Keep the faith,even when things seem bleak,he is standing right behind us patiently,God is very faithful!!God bless you,my condolences to you and your family.

    I'm sorry about the loss of your father Ed. I hope good memories fill your heart with peace.
    ed shank

    Yvonne. Thank you. There are many found memories. Thinking about what I should have said the last time I saw him. I hope one day when we meet again, he can forgive me.

    Jenn, I am concerned for you and I would ask you please read the meaning and not the words in some of the replies from god fearing folk well intentioned as they may be..


     


    "God knows what you need" sounds a bit cultish to me. Don`t be fooled and get trapped, you know and I know you know the worlds` cults all have their foundation in the US.


     


    I have offered my willingness to help you in the past and I do so again, just talk to Colleen.

    My Dear jenn you will never fail you have been through a awful lot in your younger years and you have done so well,  I have known lots of woman who have got no familys and cant even get dressed in the morning and are drunk and are on drugs all the time who have also been through what you have been through  in there younger years so my dear pat your self on your back.    I do think you and your Husband need to preyer together for the moment and take it a day at a time.


    I would like to say that I do not go to Church as I have never found a Church round where I live that I have felt that I belong and as you say dont fit in but still prey every day for my family and my friends and all you guys on this site but anyone dare tell my that I am not a Christian woe be tye them if you do find strenght in a Church good for you God bless you Jenn xxx 

    Jenn

    Thanks babe.. I prayed for years for my brothers to find Christ.. Now that they have I seem to have lost him. I am on my way back...
    melandrupert

    thanks Jenn you will get back and you havent lost him its just a bit dusty in the head department just get your duster out and get rid of those cobwebs :)

    I was without GOd in my life for many years I thought but he was always there waiting for me. I have no way to to explain it oyher than he put people ,and trials in my life to show me the way home.I searched for peace everywhere but inthe arms of my savior.Ipray you find the peace I have found.

    Jenn

    beautiful.... thank you it almost makes my trials have meaning...

    Don't you have a family behind you? I haven't found you falling apart. We all go through rough periods sometimes. Keep your chin up and keep on keepin' on.

    Jenn

    I do have a wonderful husband and children. But I am brocken non the less. Angry and vengfull.

    PMA ... Positive Mental Attitude.  Think of the good things in life ..... and there really are lots Jenn! Sometimes, just sometimes you need put yourself first an do things for you! Go treat yourself, and remember, always keep a smile on your face no matter what. You can do it girl! xxx.  

    forget the church at least for know , what you need is salvation through christ then you'll will become a member of an eternal church, which fears nothing but the lord.

    Jenn

    I have Christ. I havent not been walking with him. I just feel I need to fill my life with his presents... i want it to take up all of the spaces I have filled with regret, shame,and worldliness

    join the club their kid we all especially me tend to get caught up in the flesh. the good news is the conviction of the holy spirit is working in you or else you would be numb to this.don't forget your part of an erternal family that will never reject you!

    JENN YOUR TRIALS HERE DO HAVE  MEANING IF THEY BRING YOU IN TO THE ARMS OF JESUS LIFE ON THIS EARTH IS JUST A VAPOR.THERE IS NO TIME TO WORRY ABOUT THE PAST OR THE FUTURE

    Jenn , I truly care about you, and want to help you any way I can.  Most of the answers above are great replys. You have many others here who care about you.  I hope all the best for you my friend.

    Jenn

    Thanks Banks.... Take a little PMS, add stress, sprinkle with heartache and you get Jenn nutting up a little.... LOL...I am doing better. But Still plan on going church with the family.

    If you go to a church and they don't preach from the Bible don't let the door hit you as you leave. A church is like a good car you need to test drive a few to find one for you, the people make up the church and christians have personalities like every one else, there will be clashes. 

    Jenn

    For sure!!!! I am very cautious about he churches I want to help raise my family.

    Do we control our brain, or does our brain control us. What or who controls our brain?


    frist of all ,you have to be born on earth frist.someone had to rase you,until You could thing for your shef.that mean your brain was here frist can you control your heart....exe.you can"t control the brain but you can control what your brain take in or out.You tell your brain what to do when you see some, hear something, smile something,tast something,fill something,and to carry all of your body parts including your brain your feet. in the bible it said a man of God footstep or order by him.so who is controlling your walk.you ,and i did"t have a chour of being born on this earth,and we don"t  have the power not to live this earth.so who is in control.but there is some hope for you  .when you say what or who control our brain.You control to do right or wrong way to walk.
