This has been bugging me a bit lately so forgive the rant 😂 Many of you will remember a recent post of mine when I was in some kind of meltdown over my single status and how I may well be alone forever. Well, let's say God has been working in my heart and challenging these feelings. I took some...

Anyone reading any good books? Or have any recommendations? I've started a (non-Christian) book called The Unexpected Joy of Being Single, which is really good so far! I'm also reading (yep, two at once haha) a Christian living book by Banning Liebscher called Rooted, which is also really great!

I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I find myself surrounded by so much negativity, at work, in the media, even at home sometimes. I love positive words and quotes, and thought we could share some here for a bit of encouragement if anyone needs it!

God has been speaking some truths into my heart this past week or so. I hit a real downer mid-week and have been stewing over some stuff these past few days. God can say a lot in a few days. If I'm just willing to listen! My main anxiety has been coming from the fact that I'm still single and...

OK, so I need to get some stuff off my chest that's really weighing me down. I'm too embarssed to talk to friends about this so posting anonymously on the internet as one does... :LOL::confused: My life has felt pretty up and down lately but was on a positive track there and I felt like God was...

Hi everyone, I've been thinking a lot about social media lately and just wanted to see what other opinions are. I deleted my Facebook months ago now bevayse I found myself using it A LOT, more than I felt was healthy, and I posted something daily and obsessing over the number of "likes", who...

This is extremely long, but bear with me if you can. When I was posting here in early 2017, I had made a mistake with a friend of mine and we kissed one night, even though he had a girlfriend. The shame and guilt took it's toll on me, and at the time I posted on here a few times for some relief...

I'm not sure if anyone who read my posts when I was last here will still be here, but wanted to post this! This is extremely long, but bear with me if you can. When I was posting here in early 2017, I had made a mistake with a friend of mine and we kissed one night, even though he had a...

I realised something today, something that kind of shocked me. For all of my life, or certainly the years I remember; I have expected very little of God. The bare minimum really. I don't mean I have asked little in terms of how often I call on Him or anything like that - I have consistently been...

I went walking yesterday, in a place full of hills and climbing. At one point I was behind a father and young daughter - she was no more than 4 years old, and he held her hand tightly as they walked along over these bumps and hills. Her father always took the rockier ground and guided her small...

So much has happened in 2017, starting with possibly the biggest mistake of my life. I have worn myself out emotionally going over the whole messy thing these last months, and am finally reaching closure (I think). I finally understand what went wrong. I got comfortable. I felt safe. I have...

The scary thing about God is that He sees every part of us. He sees the parts of us that we share with the world, and more importantly He sees both the truth and the lie(s) in what we choose to share. He sees all the best parts of us: our talents, qualities, passions, interests, little...

So tonight I face my fears and stepped out in faith. It was hard. It may sound like such a silly, simple thing. Something most of us do every week, if not more than once a week. I went to church. This isn't something new for me, by any means. I have been doing some wandering and soul searching...

I have been on a rollercoaster these past weeks. I've had some highs when I could reach out and touch the sky, after some steep uphill climbs, followed by some stomach-churning drops, followed by a sense of relief as my rollercoaster slows and steadies a little - if only temporarily. I a left...

I've made a mess lately, and have been struggling to deal with the aftermath of my own stupidity. I made a horrible mistake kissing a friend who has a girlfriend, something I never imagined I would be capable of. I blocked it out for the first few days and just pushed it down as deep as I could...

Hi everyone, I have been posting on these forums about various things lately, and while I've been home for Christmas one of my deepest struggles has been brought to the forefront again. I keep pushing it down and trying to forget about it because it is just too painful. My mum is an alcoholic...

I have been struggling a lot lately, and my heart has been full of all sorts of restless feelings that I haven't been able to even identify, until now. It has dawned on me that I am deeply disappointed and dissatisfied with my life. My job is demotivating and the work environment I am in is a...

I have been thinking a lot about the rituals of prayer and fasting lately. It is something we as a church often partake in (it is optional of course) and I know it is one of the rituals from the old testament times that has survived while sacrifices and such have been dropped. It has always...

Hi all, Firstly - thank you for taking a moment to click on this post. You've found me in a rough place. I have a friend, who has a girlfriend, but who I have fallen in love with. I can't shake it off, even though I know full well how destructive and foolish it is to allow these feelings and...
