Good morning CF family! Ladies, I had an idea to start a fellowship thread. It will be a good way to get to know other believers here a little better beyond the prayer requests. I had the idea because today was the third time I read that a member here was older than me when I thought they were early 20s, ie Lissa, IWHH67, Lilanie. Also, this will be a good way for newbies to be acknowledged and not be complacent with lurkmode. Just copy and paste the following, feel free to add more tabs.

Favorite biblical man or woman: Since I'm at the house now I can go for a second. See the lady in the bible who was bent over for years who is my fav. See to most it was nothing but to me it was soo major. If you never been down-trodden,too heavy in spirit to look up to be able to function properly then you can understand. I see that woman and I see myself for so many year. Bent over still trying to do better,still praying but all God had to say was straighten up and all was taken care of. I feel like now in this phase of life God has spoken those words to my life and now I'm able to finally see what life and the beauty of God truly is.

What dont people here know about you? Idk

How did you find the CF? Happen to venture to this part of the forum after being on LHCF for several years.

What does your avatar mean? It is a quote by Neville Goddard, he did a lot of teaching about the law of attraction in the '70s

How did you find Christ? I saw the change in my sister and I wanted it for myself

What do you love most about God: He really only has one stance with me which is I am loved by Him. I may stray but revelation and love of the Holy Spirit is always there when I come to my senses.

Favorite biblical man or woman: The woman with the issue of blood. She believed so deeply in the God of healing that she saw in Jesus that the virtue of God went out to met her. She committed an illegal act of coming in public with her issue while Jarius, the one who could give the command to have her stoned stood by. She just believed so deeply, she pushed fear aside and spoke to herself, pressing forward. She didn't need an audience or special instructions, the edge of Jesus' clothing was enough for her. Now that is type of Woman of God I hope to be one day.

Scripture that reflects (or you desire to reflect) your life: Psalm 24:5 (Living Bible) They will receive God's own goodness as their blessing from him, planted in their lives by God himself, their Savior.

A spiritual gift you desire: Can't really think of anything at the moment

What group of people do you have a passion to help: women

Ministry you serve in (optional): I don't at the moment

Most important lesson you have learned on your christian journey: Love God, Love people

Denomination: (optional), Non-denominational

What dont people here know about you? I laugh really loud all the time, it is the kind of laugh that makes others laugh along even though they have no idea what I am laughing at.

Any else you want to add? Sometimes I make my walk with God so hard when I get those moments that I want to pick and choose what I will handle and what I will let Him handle. Time and time again He lets me go my own way until I reach my end and turn back to Him to take it all.

Great thread!

Don't mean to derail my own thread but girl, YES!!!! I want to please him too!! I have to be careful whose posts I read when I am in public, lol. When I read the first purple I almost jumped out of my seat, and the last purple statement, well...Galatians 2:20 just does something everytime I see it. I read a scripture by Paul the other day that said figure out what pleases the Lord and do it! I will post it when I get a chance, maybe tomorrow! You ladies are on fire for the Lord! I am loving these, thank you ladies!

Scripture was Ephesians 5:10, Message Bible.

What does your avatar mean? This is our main picture right? If so, mine is a picture of Jada Pinkett Smith because people always tell me I look like her.
How did you find Christ? I grew up in the church and gave my life to Christ at the age of eight.
What do you love most about God: I love the feeling of His presence when it engulfs you. I have yet to find something that compares to this feeling.

Any else you want to add? I want what God wants for my life and for His people. I am constantly trying to get closer to Him and it gets frustrating at times because I do not quiet my spirit often enough to hear what He is instructing me to do. I would also like to add, THIS FORUM is the main reason why I am still on this board. I have grown to know a few of you ladies in the CF and although you may not realize it, I have been blessed by you simply from your posts!

Ministry you serve in: At my old church I was a teacher (ages 13-23), sang on Praise & Worship, choir, Youth Board, Assistand Director for our newly formed non-profit extension of the church.
