    How is your relationship with your parents?

    My parents are everything to me. I'm beyond blessed having them in my life. My parents each have a heart for others in completely different, but loving ways. They have been great in every aspect of my life. They are both wonderful teachers, leaders, role models and wonderful friends especially...

    The Power of Loneliness

    Loneliness is something that probably everyone has dealt with at some point in his or her lives. It takes on so many different shapes and forms and it can be such a powerful life alternating feeling or experience. It is a real/deep thing that people go through and yet at the same time, it is a...

    If you could live anywhere in the world .......

    I do love where I live, but a change would be lovely. I've pictured myself living in Canada (PEI or Nova Scotia would be lovely) and Hawaii was absolutely wonderful, so I could see myself living there too. I have many places I'd love to visit.

    People you cant talk to

    I can talk with anyone. Like @melita916 , I tend to be more of a listener, but I think in working with kids, I've learned to talk with anyone about anything. I learn from everyone I talk with. Are there people I don't enjoy talking with? Sure, but I believe if the Lord has them cross my path...

    Your typical Thanksgiving thread.

    I love all the things you shared and the honesty that came with each one. This particular one gets me.

    Would The Story of Your Life Be a Best-Seller?

    As someone who loves to read and enjoys learning about people and why they make particular choices, I'd probably love reading about everyone here. Sounds kinda creepy re-reading that, but I think I'd enjoy it. Our lives really are like books with each season a new chapter unfolds. I personally...

    Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

    So much to say and no energy to say it. Part of me wonders if that’s the Lord’s way of holding one off. Something to be learned still.

    Severe Dressing Down

    Yes, we do have to pay a dollar. The money goes to the "sunshine" fund, which is used when a staff member is sick or something happens in their family, basically used to give gifts to the staff for a variety of reasons.

    encouragement vs criticism

    I remember this post way back when and it meant a lot to me then. I hope those that previously posted are all doing well, even though some aren't on CC anymore. I find that this is something I think about petty often lately. How we respond, really does say something about who we are/what...

    Severe Dressing Down

    For work, I have to dress-up (dress pants/blouse, skirts, dresses etc.), except for Friday. If you a pay $1 you can wear jeans and a blouse or dressy shirt. At home, I like to go for comfort. Jeans and a t-shirt/sweatshirt is common. Typically if I come home from school and I know for certain...

    Falling In Love Vs. Falling into Pain -- Is There a Difference?

    I love this topic and it has me thinking lots, but my initial thought is that love requires sacrifice and with sacrifice comes pain (typically), so in the end it could be viewed as one in the same. Falling in love in general can be seen as falling in pain. However, it’s all in how we choose...

    Time Well Spent

    If I were on my deathbed right now. My one regret would be that I have/had a tendency to fall back into worry/concern over not lining up with the norms of society. I wish I could tell my younger self that God’s place and timing in my life is and always will be perfect. I feel like I wasted...

    What has CC taught you!

    I have learned through the years of being here off and on that my own experiences and thoughts and opinions have changed at times. It’s fun to see what the younger me thought about certain topics. Some are the exact same today and others are not. I have learned that people have strong opinions...

    Mum

    Please pray for my mum. She had cancer and today found out that some bleeding she’s had recently isn’t normal. They say it’s a sign of cancer and she will need more tests.

    The Virgin Porn Addict -- Why Do We Differentiate So Much Between Sins of the Heart and the Body?

    I’ve often thought that virgins that desire to be married to another virgin, see that as a way to be equally yoked. They are somehow at the same level spiritually. I do see that that train of thought could be flawed, however I could also be convinced that it makes sense. Arguably one of the...

    Where Did the Saying "God is Preparing Just the Right Person for You!" Come From Anyway?

    As far as the saying goes, it’s not biblical, but I’d say it’s the advice giver’s fleshy desire that they put onto those that they are talking with. I know people who have no desire to marry have been given this “encouragement”. People have a hard time believing that marriage isn’t the end all...
