Of course, it's usually quoting Julian of Norwich :giggle:

Question to christians, is jesus inside of me and my eight year old brother?


The part of God which Christians gain when giving their life to Christ is the Holy Spirit.

Prayers please. Slipped disc or two on my spine. I need the strength to phone the doctors tomorrow. Not liking how this has all come right before I'm back to lectures.


That's awful! Praying for a speedy recovery :console:

If your nervous, I personally never go without writing a script for a phone conversation with someone I don't know well :smile: guess it's just a way of being more in control :wink:



I'm actually having some hard times myself and would appreciate any prayers. Parents just told us yesterday that they are splitting up (it was very out of the blue to us) because apparently my dad has had a string of secret affairs over the last few years that he has just now come clean about... and it's not even that he's admitted it out of guilt, but just because he was breaking it off with his second mistress and she had threatened to come out with it herself (so it would have gone on if he hadn't felt the need for self preservation). So yea, very surreal couple of days as we had always seemed to be a happy family, and indeed I had liked the dad of a couple of days ago, and am very confused at the moment that this seems to have been some sort of cover.. I'm coping ok, just a bit sick, confused, and depressed, but if anyone could pray especially for my little sister and mum who are really struggling, I would be very grateful. On a theological note, I don't think I ever fully appreciated why everyone in the bible is so down on adultery until now when I feel firsthand how utterly destructive it is.
Sorry to put a downer on the thread, but things are really bad, and I start uni in a week (talk about timing) so 1. I really hope this doesn't affect me there, and 2. I am worried about my family coping whilst I'm away..
Anyway... hope everyone else is having a better time of it and settling in to uni ok :smile: praying for you all

Definitely praying for you. :hugs: If you need someone to talk to i've been through parents splitting up, and it's never a nice thing to have happen, especially if it comes at a rubbish time as well. The circumstances my parents split up in aren't the same but will still be here if you need it. Also definitely praying for your Mum and Sister through this, and that they can cope with you going away as well.

Hey,

That's so awful, hun - I'm really very sorry to hear about this. It sounds as though this is a very painful and confusing time for you. I'm about to head out to Harvard but will try and do a rosary later for you, your mum and your sister :sadnod:

Remember we are all here for you to left off steam and for you to talk to :grouphugs:

So many prayers going out to you and your family. Verse I gave Tasha earlier today - Psalm 55:22

:hugs:

I'm always here if you need to talk.

Praying for you all. And I know it's difficult when you're heading to university and something major is going on with family, but I let family issues ruin my final year of college/the tiny bit of university I completed, and it really wasn't worth it. People are stronger than you think, and I'm sure they'll let you know if there's anything you can do to help them. (I'm just saying this because I always felt that I was 'abandoning' my family by being away from them and studying, and only after a lot of stress did I realise that it was the best thing I could be doing with my time, and things always work out in the end)
Has anybody been watching England v Turkey?

Hope everyone is well. :grouphugs:
