Blessings to all! Fellow brother in Christ here. I am new to this site as I'm interested in meeting new brothers and sisters with whom I can relate. A little about me...you'll know quickly that I'm very articulate with words--that is my art talent. I am currently a parent to 7 children who live in my household and 2 adult children who do not. So, I can relate to parenting, co-parenting, and blended family dynamics. I am also debt-free and can relate to those on that journey as well as those who have accomplished this. My current personal mission in life, in addition to fatherhood, is actively identifying the unhealthy roots in my life, uprooting them, and replanting healthy ones. I'm sure there's plenty of relatability there as well. In addition to having a broad range of experience, I am also searching for wisdom and knowledge from others. So, let what I hope will turn into many friendships begin!
Looking to inspire and be inspired

Welcome to CC! There is a lot here to take in at CC. May God bless
'To be spiritually inspired surely requires a personal "spiritual awakening", thank God, this
I can relate to.
Being debt-free is a good place to be in regard to finances. Good thing to do as you are doing in looking inward to root out that which does not belong. There are those here that are chock full of wisdom and knowledge to share. Glad to have you onboard with us. Welcome to CC.
Welcome Nittnylion04, it sounds like you are in a good place financially, and a blended family can also be a blessing. Glad to have you here.
Kudos to you, your quiver is full! We have another member who has eight children, most grown.
Very unusual, although a pastor of mine had eight children, and I come from a family of eleven children.

New International Version
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
