F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking all, I trust Him)

[Momof2kiddos]

Me? I say it doesn't matter if you live a "good" life. You can be a saint, but if you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior then your in trouble. You have to believe that God sent his ONLY son to earth. You have to believe that Jesus died on a cross to save you from all your sins, and you have to believe that he ided and rose again in 3 days. I believe that if you don't believe that way then you are NOT saved and you will NOT get to the kingdom of God.

i believe the same

I'm praying like I have never before.But I feel guilty that I'm not attending church & my Granma said only last week I should start going back because she is sure it will bring me some luck?? Does anyone think heading back to church will help?!

I too believe the same. The Bible says:

Romans 10

"The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[d] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[e] 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[f]

.......

17Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Wow!! There's been a lot going on since I was on here yesterday! I will try to get to everyone here......

Welcome Titi! I am glad you can join us! I see you have been ttc for quite a while, I pray you get your BFP soon!!

Guppy- of course you can join! This thread is for all of us sisters in Christ. We all need the fellowship one way or another! I also love your idea of making a group and having a special bible verse on our signatures. That sounds great!

Welcome to you too Rachel! I am so sorry for your losses. You will be in my prayers! I can't even imagine what that is like.

Dipar-I'm kinda jealous . . you are sooo close to testing!! I will def. be keeping you in my prayers, hope you get your BFP!

To answer your question Eskimo- yes, I hear God's voice a lot, I may not always heed what He says, but then looking back, I can always remember him talking to me. Oh well, how else do we learn?? Glad you can join us Eskimo!

Mrs. T. . welcome to you too!!

Rafwife, I am with the other ladies. I believe that unless one has accepted Christ as their savior and has Him living in their heart, they are not saved and will not be going to Heaven. I do not believe that just "being good" saves your mansion in Heaven. I feel as though you must have a personal relationship with the Lord. I will be praying for your DH, God can do anything, and I believe that He can change your DH's heart and turn it towards Him.

Mrs. LP, it may not be "church" that you need as much as fellowship with other believers. Someone that you can go to and pray with. Like it says "where 2 or more are gathered, there I am, sayeth the Lord." He wants us to have fellowship with other believers so that we may grow in faith. So, perhaps you should start with church, make some girlfriends or get connected into a sunday school class. All it can do is build you up, encourage you, and make you a stronger Christian. I am sure you will figure out what is best for you. Pray about it and see what He says.

Well, I think that is long enough! I hope everyone is doing great! I have one more day of work, then a day off, yay!! Have a blessed weekend everyone!!!

 

[jiboo44]

Hey ladies! I would love to connect with you all. My hubby and I are trying for our first - we are REALLY hoping that this is the month, so we can share the great news around Christmas!! Anyone else in the TWW right now?

 

[Guppy051708]

I wish I was in the 2WW! I am in the 2WW for the LOL Still waiting, slowly, to finish this cycle. Trying our best to wait out the time frame the doc gave us. Blessings to you! XoXo

 

[jiboo44]

Guppy - thanks! I'm new to this site, but very much smack-dab in the middle of the TWW (7DPO tomorrow)...

 

[Guppy051708]

yay! Your so close to testing day!!! So happy for you
Do you have an FF Chart or anything like that I could look at? Keep us updated hun

P.S. when did you get married? Looks like we've been married for about the same amount of time!

 

[jiboo44]

We were married on 3/30/08 - best day of my life! And you?

Well, no chart...sorry! I've been tracking my "symptoms" - but over the past few months we were TTC I know that many of those symptoms can be misleading!

Strangely, this month, I feel the most "normal" - maybe that will be good luck!

My wedding day was also the best day of my life!
We were married on May 17th, 2008. I love my DH so much, i dont udnerstand why other wives dont have that much love to give. God truley sent him to me, i am convinced! This April we will have been together for 6 years. High school sweethearts, and he is my everyhing- next to God of course

 

[jiboo44]

That's awesome!! Isn't it awesome when God is so present in your marriage? I love it. The more we put Him in the center of our lives (as a couple), the more blessings are pouring out. How do you become buddies on this forum?

 

[Guppy051708]

Hmm, i think there is a "Buddies Thread" however, I have never used it. I usually just ask the person if they want to be my buddie. Would you like be one of my buds?

 

[jiboo44]

Yes... I'd love that!

 

[Guppy051708]

Sweet dear! I will add you to my signature!

I have to say I don't think it's as cut and dry as the posts previously answering this question make it seem.

Should we all strive for and commit to a relationship with God? Absolutely. But at this time on earth we are removed from him and God has deemed it necessary for each of us to travel a different path. We are not the ones who know where the paths lead. Only God. We may speculate, but only He really knows.

I have a very close family member who is more Christian in his daily actions than most of the people I meet who consider themselves to be Christian. He has faced obstacle after obstacle in his life. And even though he has not found his relationship with God, I know there is one there. There is no way that someone so selfless, caring, and devoted could not be influenced by God everyday even if he hasn't come to realize it while here on Earth.

Again, I just don't think it's as cut and dry. I also am not sure this is the right place to debate this either. We are all Christian women and we should be pleased with that common ground. We will have different beliefs within our Christianity and that is okay.

Girls, I have a question regarding people who are atheist. Now I don't want to start this into a debate about religion, as I only want to discuss my own family.

I am a Christian (Protestant) as I said in this thread. OH is atheist. He will go along with the 'notion' that there is something out there but he doesn't know what. He doesn't mind going to church, but he won't make the commitment. He seems to just be hedging his bets.

Now my reverend says that as long as people live a good, honest life then they will be rewarded but their life will be more fulfilled with God in it.

I know some people take the hard line with it though.

What do you think? It upsets but, but I want to respect his choices.

It always helps...if even just to grant you peace for one hour...it helps.

I'm praying like I have never before.But I feel guilty that I'm not attending church & my Granma said only last week I should start going back because she is sure it will bring me some luck?? Does anyone think heading back to church will help?!

Rachel - My heart hurts for you and your husband...I will definitely be praying for you both as you TTC again.

and hi to everyone else who has joined up...I am sooo excited for this board!

as for me, I am 8dpo and feeling a few interesting symptoms. hope you don't mind me sharing: full, extremely sore, achy bb's...normally I only get this for a day not for a week straight. Also, the aching woke me up last night...it hurts to hug people, to hold my cats next to my chest, and to put a bra on. have quite a bit of "tugging/pulling" cramping down there, and am extremely moody. that's it. I feel scared, though, because for two cycles I've had a LOT of symptoms and no result. I feel like if that happens again this cycle, I will officially be tagged a crazy lady!!!

anyone else testing this Friday?

 

[Guppy051708]

Willynilly, unfortunatly i will not be testing this cycle, however, your symptoms sound promising! Will pray that you get your this month! Do you have an FF chart I could look at?
