Hi all!

It is great to have the opportunity to be able to get to know all of you.

I am 23, a single SAH mum of two small children (Jacob almost four, and Imogen, almost three). I am born-again, and I am a member of Christ Embassy (Gold Coast Australia Chapter).

I am a vital and active participant in the ministry, and love to talk about Jesus. I love reading, dancing (tho I am not so good at it, lol), going to the beach and spending time with friends and family.

hmm.... what else?? I am Australian, I love God, and I love life.

Hope to hear from u all around the 'boards.

Take care, God bless

Welcome AngieMama, and may God bless you!

We're glad to have you aboard! May God bless your fellowship here, and Merry Christmas!

Hi,

I have been lurking here for a few months and have been so blessed by the truth and the fruit of the Holy Spirit that is evident here among you!

My name is Nikkoly (Nicole-ee). We live near Seattle, WA. I stay at home and hubby is a firefighter in Seattle.
My dad met Jesus at a coffee shop in Cali., and told me about him when I was a kid.
I found HIM prior to my Senior year in High School in 1988 at a drillteam camp.
I stopped compromising and really chose to follow HIM when I went to college in 1989.
I went to a shehpherding church that controlled my life while I was in college until Jesus set me free in 1993-thank YOU JESUS!
I married my high school sweetie in 1994.
I taught grade school in the public and private sectors for six years.
We have five daughters total. The oldest is his from a previous marriage.
I homeschool four of them.
WE left the institutional church in 2002 and have been growing up and being refined here in the wilderness.
Our kingdom made of sand was thankfully blown away in Aug. 2006. We found the peace that only Jesus can give. He gives and takes away yet will we praise HIM>
We have a few wonderful people in our lives that are like minded and we are thankful for them!

We are waiting on HIM, learning to pray, learning to obey, learning to be led by the Spirit, learning to test the fruit and spirits of those around us, learning to HEAR HIS VOICE ALONE, learning, learning, learning....we used to think we knew so much, but have found that all we truly know is that HE came, HE died, He rose again, HE is coming back! WE are learning to love not our lives even unto death. We know our flesh stinks, so we hope it will burn away quickly.

I am glad to be here.

Hello Princesswarrior. What a great name you've chosen. We're glad to have you with us. 5 daughters, whew!

You have no idea how wonderfully welcome you are

Praise God.

your brother

I have to say just like C that I am glad you found your way here. It is refreshing to have you here.
My hubby and I go to Rochester as often as we can. Love your area!!

Hi My name is Rob. I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and I'm a 46 years old Christian.

Can anyone tell me how many posts i need in order to create my own topic? I keep getting an error message stating that i don't have permission to create a thread. I can respond to a thread, but i can't create new one. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Rob

Welcome to the forum. Not sure about posting your own topic. I think if you post it at that time one of the mod's will approve it and it will show up.
Kim

Welcome to the forum, Rob. I look forward to reading your posts.

Gods Blessings,

Al

Hi there! I am totally new to internet religion, so I will just read for a while if that is ok?

Justice,

Hi everyone... I just joined this forum today. Not sure where to post, but this seems like a good place to start! I've lurked around for awhile now, but I'm looking forward to joining the discussions in the near future.

Boo,

Welcome to this forum. Com'on in, make your self comfortable and let's talk. In short, I look forward to reading your posts.

In Christian Love,

Hello Boo. I know you're related to someone on this forum. But I'll keep that a secret! >.>

Hi everyone!

Is there a section on the site to discuss Christian books ex. Wisdom Hunter?

Hi Tyler,

Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I look forward to reading your posts.

If you would like to have a discussion about books, why not begin a thread?

Gods Blessings,

Al

Hey There, I loved the picture!

By the way I have just joined, a friend Pastor Tim, invited me

Blessings

Thank you Adeline. I look forward to posting with you!


Hi, Wakka. It's nice to finally meet you. It's fine if you don't; heavens knows she'll tell everyone soon enough. She's very excited I joined!

I am new here.
I wonder where are these Newbie groups where a new member should write first.

Jouko Piho

Hi Jouko, and welcome. Write wherever you like!
You might start in the "How you became a Christian" area, but anywhere is fine. Jump in and enjoy.

But I cannot write anywhere I like.
I would like to post in prophecy section, but I cannot. There will be a message that I have no permission to write there.
Then I read the rules and I understood that I must first make 2 postings in some Newbie group. But I could not find any such group.
I know that I may reply everywhere, but how could I make a new post whre I want without that message that I am not allowed to do that.

Jouko Piho

Oh yeah. The admin. will let you post something new after your first few replies anywhere on the forum. At least that's how it worked when I joined. I think it might take a day or two. I forget. I don't believe there is a "newbie" area to reply in. Anwhere you like is fine. Admin will see it.

Hello everyone.

Just like my user ID says, I am lost and confused.

I am not sure what to anything any more. How can you when you have been hurt by so called Christians and Christian Churches? Hoping to find answers instead of a turning a blind eye.

See you all out in the forum.

LC

Welcome LC! You may find more people who had similar experiences here.
I do not follow doctrine from man but the Word of God, the mighty refuge against being hurt and the best place to heal.

God Bless You

Hello everyone!!

I have just joined the forum. It is good to be in a place where fellow Christians meet and are hungry for the Word.

Yesterday I was doing a Google search and found a discussion here about the Bible Wheel. I had some time to register today and now expect to participate in the discussions of interest. Now I'm heading to the Bible Wheel discussion!

Greetings!
Your brother in Christ,
Victor

Hi,

I'm Jini. I'm 27 going on 28 and I just joined the forum today. I'm a self-employed Belizean. I am looking for topics for christian articles and stories so if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks.

Jini

Jini,

Welcome to the forum and I am looking forward to reading your posts.

I'm new here too.

To God be the glory,

Hi everyone, I am new here. You can call me "Fere".

I am married with two boys, ages 3 and 9. I will get on here as much as I can to learn from all of you, but with a little guy (my 3-year-old), it is sometimes hard to find the time. I would tell you my age, but I am at the age when we begin to not like to tell. I currently live in Indiana. (I have lived in several states - Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee & Georgia).

I look forward to getting to know you and learn from you. I was really excited when I found this site, it is exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a Christian-based forum, so I can be with those who have similar views to myself. Before I came here, I was in another forum that had too many religious views (and even some anti-religious views) so I decided to leave.

From what I have seen here so far, this looks like a great place for me to be.

Welcome, Fere. Peace be with you!

Oppsie i forgot to say hi earlier.....

Hi everyone!

I'm 19 turning 20 in August, the big 2 0 woo!
I work in childcare, always dreamed of having 101 kids.
Never knew God, or heard much about Jesus for most my life.
Lived a party lifestyle, but something was always misssing....

Then i found God and it all made sense, and life is great now! Even if my friends do think i've become a weirdo because i don't want to drink, smoke, have sex with randoms anymore.

Well i'm just so glad i found Jesus, and here to just talk about what i know, and discover more from others who have found God too.
I've been here for a week or two, and it's really nice here, alot of open minded peeps, i love it! It's like having ears all over the world, with everyone speaking about what's going on.

Well it sure is a good time to be alive, lots of action worldwide, a great test i think, so i can show God he made a good choice in saving me =]

God Bless!

I think this is the new people intro thread so I guess I should post here first. Not sure what to say about myself. I'm a dual US/UK citizen currently living in England with my husband and 2 sons at home, one in Uni and a daughter out and about in the world. I in my teens fell out not so much with God but more with organised religion due to reasons I won't go into here. I have still not found a church which is a bone of contention between my sister and I, but thankfully not a huge one! I have moved around quite alot in my life and am currently contemplating a move back to the states as my sons have never seen a firefly before nor heard crickets at night. Strange the things we take for granted sometimes don't you think? Anyway I guess I will get stuck in, I have alot of questions probably so I ask for your patience in advance.

Oh My God, a lot of new people on the forum! Welcome to all, may your stay here be as pleasant as mine, and there will not be a bone of contention between brother and sister, like it is in heaven.

Fere, Andrew, Malangel,

So glad to meet new people on this forum, welcome! I look forward in getting to know you better.

Malangel, you don't have crickets in England? I love the sound of crickets on a warm and lazy night. I also enjoy falling asleep to the sounds of the crickets.

Peace be with all of you.

Gods Blessings,

Al

There are crickets but for some reason they do not sing the way they do in the states. Even when we lived in Wales we did not hear them at night though we could hear the sheep on the hillsides. I miss the sound of crickets
