Just here to meet other Christians who may have gone through something similar or some pain and needs a friend. Lonely world out there and it seems that everybody is fighting in it and just need peace and prosperity without a bunch of pain involved. How is everybody? Just lost my Dad and uncle that was a purple heart too. Mine was a marine veteran. Some people go then others just leave hearts dangling and lots of memories behind don't they? Happy Friday.
Catholic Widow just needs someone to talk to about a bunch of Baptists hurting me...

hey dude-- the one who goes by the screen name "Ugly" your Avatar is very offensive and very "ugly" and I asked the administrator to ask you to change it, since it is not something that a Christian would use for an Avatar. And your rude treatment of a Catholic visitor who came here for support, also is a pretty ugly way to welcome a stranger. So, if I see your post with your ugly avatar again in a Christian forum, I will again ask the administrator to ask you to change it, or change it for you. is this something you are able to understand? I certainly hope so--

As for Ugly being rude to catholics that's not true he is actually being "compassionate" because the "owner" of this site's beliefs as well as others don't support catholics as Christians and he simple let the new comer know so that they can keep from being banned and "get support" because the owner can "enforce this site's beliefs" if need be.
Thanks for all the welcomes...actually I was baptized Baptist and haven't been through formal RCIA with Catholics. Kind of stuck in between right now but still claim Christianity. Non denominal I guess. I can say thanks though to all the welcomes. I already feel better knowing there are other Christians here. I just need emotional support right now with everything going wrong in my life. I feel so lonely at times. Children out of the next. I have one mother but she and I are distant because she sued me for custody of my children...long story. And then drifted away from both parents to get close to my Dad again right as he died. And then my uncle died. The only one I have in my family is my mother and she never calls or acts like she is my mother or anything. And my cousin and children who have pretty much abandoned me since I am ill now. I can function still I just broke my back in a car accident and had a concussion and am now on disability. And no real family to take care of me. They have always taken advantage of me in some way. Starting dating a guy and became engaged only for him to run back to his first love. It is like the devil has a grip on my life and won't let go or something. I don't go to church because it hurts my back to sit up in the pews...so I pretty much worship online. I bet alot of people probably are like me too. Only don't say anything about it. Or some do. I can still walk but had to learn again. Now I suffer from memory loss and not able to do much manual work or anything. My life is pretty much limited now. No skiing or marathon running or anything. Glad to meet all of you!
Hi Shelly,
I'm ex-Catholic so I've been there and I don't condemn you over that. Welcome and I hope you can find some comfort here. The Lord Jesus loves you and is able to minister to you in turmoil. People will let you down as you have unfortunately been experiencing. Life can be really rough sometimes I know, I am so sorry if you are feeling alone. Glad to meet you my sister in Christ.
God made you unique, there is no one else in all the world like you and he cares about you.
((Hugs))

I would suggest to try visiting the Christian Ladies Forum section and the music & poetry section of the site. I would steer clear of the Bible Discussion part of the forum for a while if you are feeling emotionally tender. Only because people get very argumentative in there and it may not be the right atmosphere for you at this time.
I had just lost my wife to a premature death when I joined this site. There have been others here as well that have lost someone close to them such as a spouse. I was very broken, depressed and lonely but one day God steered me to this wonderful place. Hopefully, you will find as much comfort, support, and understanding from the members as I have. Glad to have you as part of our family. Welcome to CC.
If it wasn't for God I wouldn't be here. I could tell you about a out of body experience I had during the car accident that would chill you. It wasn't my time to go but God showed me that i have a soul. And everybody does. I am just to the point of giving up with my fiance or ex or whatever you call him. He broke up with me and hasn't made the effort to get back together since he met his first love. So I have pretty much licked the wounds there and accepted it. It has been two years since that happened but we still live together under the same roof which gets trying. I am so sick of it though and sick of being taken advantage of. He claimed to be Christian and lonely and proceded to tell me how God put us together and all this now this. It really hurt me, too. I have gotten in my mind that God won't let me down like a man will. My first marriage ended in divorce after he molested my daughter. My second marriage ended in death. That is the only way that marriage ends in divorce and death, too. I lived my life thinking I would find the perfect love just to be let down after every time I fell in love. Now it comes to this and he had told me how he was trying to find his other half and all this. I said whatever. So I have moved on. Anyway. He goes over to her house everyday and smokes pot and drinks with her which I don't like either. To each his own but I don't do it. My only habits are smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee. Got some on right now...anybody want a cup (_)? LOL...just kidding...only trying to be lighthearted. May the Lord lead my path. I have thought about moving out but there are no sections of town near here where my Doctor is that is good for a lady to be by herself. So I just kind of keep him here to protect me if nothing else. It is really disheartening though. I can remember when I was little my first love let me down and kissed my best friend and asked her out. (She stood him up...oh well). But I remember getting hurt then and looking at my Grandmother's picture of Jesus thinking I wanted to marry a man like him. Now marriage isn't so glossy anymore after what I have been through. I just give my life to the Lord and write some poetry at times to let the emotions outpour. That is all. My way of praising God and giving Him glory that I even lived through the car accident much less discovered that about the soul.
His avatar being offensive is only your own opinion. Your treatment of Ugly was rude. I hardly believe that the administrator of this site is going to seriously consider your request, and will probably find it to be without merit. Christians have all types of avatars. Fortunately you're not the arbiter of what is a proper avatar for a Christian. His name is not dude either, that's the screen name of another member.
Sorry to hear that. I know they hold a special place in your heart and in heaven. My veteran Marine husband fell and hit his head on concrete in our living room. It was inoperable so I had to pull the plug. He didn't want machines but the VA hooked him up anyway. I took them his living will to show what he wanted. And let him go. He knew he would go before me. He told me if he did he would be waiting at the doorway to heaven holding it for me. Sometimes that is the only comfort that I feel for it. It happened in the middle of the Iraqi war. I was left all alone without his smile or voice anymore...just a ST. Valetine's card and Easter bunny stuffed rabbit he had given me. I held onto it in bed for six months crying myself to sleep holding onto a glass of water beside the bed. Thinking my life was almost over myself. I have precancerous cells. They have been removed though. I know if I live my life right for the Lord I will see him again someday. So will you see your wife. Sometimes I feel like my husband let's all the little angels out of the doorway to heaven. So it seems...sometimes quirky things happen and I think of him. This Easter was especially hard. I gave the bunny rabbit to my granddaughter and she started collecting stuffed animals until she grew up and found ballet and her feet...lol.
In other words if you don't like your life, stick around in it...in 24 hours you can have a car accident, end up not being able to walk and needing physical therapy after being a physical therapy aide at a nursing home. Told to go get a desk job. Get a desk job as a paralegal after getting your certificate. Be across state line after a child molester. Go into the hospital in shock after you see officers down in the FBI building (law...and you are law too being attacked and almost strangled by an ex)...then go on with your life if you are told you aren't a credible witness against him anymore for needed psych help through it. Then marry the love of your life and in 24 hours lose him too. All alone. At war. In the midst of death. Where does it end. I live to tell about it.
