For most of us, there is something in our life that is starting to take over. Sometimes the best thing to do is talk about it. Feel free to share and talk about your life struggles here. We are not here to laugh at you..point the finger..or make fun of you. This is a place where you can share it and everyone else will pray for you to overcome it.
Thank You! I have had a hard life but than again to some it isn't even comparable. My mom and dad divorced when I was a few months old and then when I was two my mom re-married my step-dad. I have a full blood brother and a whole lot of halfs and steps, but I love them all the same. My real dad has not really been alll that supportive of me and my older brother, he struggles with loving us because he does not have Jesus. I have had a lot of trials with my dad and I have a hard time forgiving him for not loving me and for how he treated my mom. I guess what I am trying to say is I can use some prayer for forgiveness with my dad. Thank you once again for encouraging words of wisdom.
Lord Bless- Leah

My job search has been weighing me down tremendously...I had this false hope that I would graduate in May and start working at a school in August...that didn't happen...and here I am a year later, still getting rejection after rejection! It's hard! Especially when I've been doing 5 other small jobs....I hate knowing that those were so easy to get, yet for some reason, I can't get the job I want. And seeing all my friends land jobs didn't help either! But Jeremy's first fan blog post actually helped me out a lot. Even though he spoke to people wanting to become musicians, he ended up speaking to me as well! He talked about how sometimes you just wanna be in the spotlight singing in front of millions of people, but sometimes God wants you to sing to just two people. Helped me realize that I'm in all these little jobs because God wants me to be. He brought me to Kids Club for a reason...He's got me subbing for a reason....and in His time, He just might hand me that teaching job....but at the same time He may not. He knows what He wants for me, and I just have to realize that it's all about what He wants for me and not what I want for myself.

Keep praying that Jesus helps you forgive and love your dad. He will give you what you need. I'll be praying for you, too. And for your dad's salvation.

Kelly, you have SO MUCH to offer and are such a blessing to so many people. I know that the Lord has a perfect plan for you and He's working on your behalf right now. Keep your chin up! Praying for you.

Well, when I was 12 yrs old, i was very depressed because i had just moved to GA, from NYC and i had lived tehre my entire life. I never knew the Lord because we attented a catholic church in New York and i hated it! So to deal with my depression i turned to self-harm and i would cut myself to relieve the pain inside and i did this for about a yr. Then my parents took us to this adventist church and the people there were so loving and so on fire for Jesus. And We went to this family retreat as a Pastor's guest and i remember we were talking about innocent blood being shed and i just staretd crying, the holy spirit took over my heart that night, and it was then i knew that i wanted to be bapized. It wasn't easy quiting my habit it took yrs to get through it butbetween the highsand the lows through those past yrs i always knew Jesus was there to help and that he loved me. When I was just 13 I was baptized as 7th day adventist and it was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me! I am now 15 yrs old goign on 16 in august but my point is God din't want me to leave this world to an accident that happened from too much blood being shed. Now I try to help others who are in similar situations trying to quit the same habit, and i plan to grow up to be a school counselor. My point is, God can use everybody to witness to others about him, only if you will let him.
