well things have gotten a little wrose. we have this old people thing going on in our house. Like we take care of them and they pay rent. Well we've had this for like almost a year. It's money but i don't like it cause i have to do almost eveything. Yesterday i asked her are they more important than your own kids? And she said yes. She said that i only cause pain and suffering and the old people bring her money. Thats all my parents think about. Money and thats all. My mom said that she didn't want me in the house any more and that i'm bad and i never shut up. I started to cry and yesterday and today i wanted to go jump off a bridge cause i felt like noone wanted me around. And i still feel that way but i know thats not what God wants me to do. So please countinue helping me pray. I need all the help i can get. Thank you and God Bless.

Cristina, Please don't give up. Being young can be so hard sometimes, but please know that other people care about you. I wish I lived closer, I would give you a big hug. Are you in California? Email me sometime. I'm a great listener. My email is cuddlymom@attbi.com
God Bless You! I will be praying for you and everything you are going through. Check out my favorite verse Jeremiah 29:11.

Cristina, God has a purpose for YOUR life. He allows us to pass through trials sometimes in order to build our faith...keep in there, I'll be praying.

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose.

well things are getting better. Yesterday i met this women and i am so greatful that i met her. She made me have more faith and more hope for me. She told me about what God did for her in her life and what she went through. I was belssed with what she told and i thank God for letting me meet such a women like that. She helped me believe more in myself and more in Gods love for me. She said that she couldn't believe that i'm still hear. That i still am following Gods path with all the things that are going around over here in my life. She said that she was horroned to meet me and i started to cry. I am so greatful for meeting her and i'm gonna go stay with her for a copule of days in portland. I'm so thankful and i thank you guys for keeping me and my family in your prayers.

i don't know you, cristina, but i know what you are going through. i will be praying for you and don't give up. i know it's hard that you are supposed to listen to your parents an obey them and sometimes it seems like they're asking the impossible, sometimes, they actually are, but you have to stay with God and trust in Him. HE will make it better. i will pray for you.
God bless you

Christina,
You are more of a role model than most adults, keep it up! Keep praying to your real father and ask him to touch your parents, tell him to take their stubborness away. Your parents are hurting inside and unforunately are taking it out on you. So don't get mad at them for their actions, but have sympathy for them that they don't have God in their life.

Don't feed the fire with insults, but be an example to your family through your acts. One day when they wake up and realize that they can't do everything on their own, they will look at you for guidance. When that day comes, you will be compensated many times for your hard work and persistance. God Bless you Christina, your one of a kind.

Wow girl, that's some hard stuff. I'm not going to try to give you advice on what you should do about your family, since I have never been through such a situation. But I WILL try to give you advice in trusting in God. I always try to think of my problems as small things compared to what God has done. What I mean is, to me a problem may seem huge, but He is God. If He made earth and its majestic views, the heavens, and even the universe that has so much information that we cannot begin to even conceive, then how can He not solve my problem? Also, He clearly states in Isaiah 43:2, "When you go through great trouble and deap waters, I will be with you..." He's always there for you through the thick and thin! Isn't it awesome, to know that no matter what He's always there next to you?! One more thing, when times get bad and you maybe start to doubt your faith, we can all get weak at times, remember that nothing is as good as knowing Jesus Christ! Philippians 3:8, "Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord..." Anyway though, I'm gonna keep you in my prayers, and I have faith that God will lead you to happiness one way or another! God bless you! :)

Cristina16, where is this "Romanian Church Of God" that you attend to.

i know someone who saw one parent try to kill the other w a knife. it was a very crazy situation, and the son had to talk to the parents to convince them to stay together for the kids and bc it was God's will. the parents are now going to church and getting along but the guy was totally drained from the shock. he fell away a few years later but is trying to come back to God. he feels like somehow God had changed his parents but left him by the wayside.

no matter what happens, pray for your parents, but dont forget to pray for your own strength and your own faith. pray for faith. remember that God will strenghten you for whatever you must endure. why must you endure it? because there have to be some REAL christians in the world, not just the fashion slaves you see in your local congregation's parking lot.

God bless you. Do not lose faith. Do not lose heart.

I have stoped praying and going to church. I know it's wrong but it's so hard for me right now. Things got way out of hand. I found out i was pregnant and my mom kicked me out. So i'm living with the father of my baby and his family. I miss going to church and i miss going to Youth night. Theres a hole in my life and thats because i stopped praying. I really need eveyones prayers, thats if you guys still want to pray for me. I know what people are thinking where i live, She's only 16 and she's having a kid. I'm turning 17 3 days after my son will be born. He's due on the 5 of January of 2004. Thats very soon, and me and my mom don't talk. She hates me so much for everything that i put her through. She said that all her friends are talking about me and that she dosen't want me in her house. I miss talking to her and i miss seeing my dad and brothers and i miss seeing her. I know i'm to young to have a kid, but people make mistakes. Why should i of made a bigger mistake of killing an unborn child that i love so much. He never did anything but come into my life. I very thankful for what God gave me and i don't really care what other people think about me. They say that they're Christian, but yet thery're talking bad about me and my family. It dosen't bother me cause i'm not perfect. I tried to be and look what happened. But please if you would like, please pray for me and my family because i would really like to spend Christmas with me mom and family. Thank you for taking time to read this. Thank you and God Bless.

God Loves You...bible says "dont give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the day approaching" you cant stop going to church or praying...you cant expect God to be this 'do everything for me' but you do nothing in return type of God... "but seek first God's kingdom and righteousness and all these other things will be given to you as well" --bible...you gotta focus on God first..you made mistakes...but you cant say..yah i made mistakes so what everyone makes mistakes and then forget about it and expect things to be grand...you gotta remember.. God is Loving/merciful etc...but he also hates Sin...you cant expect things to be all peaches if GOd is not in you...and dont expect it to go all peachy when God is with you...Satan hates it when he see's God in your life..you gotta remember where you want your faith at...do you want to give it up to God...or give it to the world??? God Forgives all...if you mean it with all your heart..not just your lips...and just cus your forgiven..dont think that its all gravy now..no...theres consequences to every action.. yah the sin is forgiven...but dont think that God still wont deal with it...you gotta repent from your sins and continue to fallow God..you gotta go to church and you gotta pray and you gotta get into his word..you gotta build that relationship with God that he wants..you cant keep pushing him away cus there will be a time where your soo far away that its gonna be hard to even look to God for possibilities...the kid is on the way..theres nothing you can do about it...the mistake was made...now focus on the present...cant change the past..dont worry about the future..cus God holds the future...focus on today! Get your Life straight with God..you do not want your kid to be in a place where God is not present..you dont want to mess up his salvation do you?? think about the spiritual lives your putting at risk by not seeking God and chosing him to fallow.....yours and your kids...i say this with the upmost love and respect...John 3:16 "for God so loved the world that he gave his only Begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not parrish but have everlasting life" tell me something...would you give up your son for the wickedness of the world??? i donno thats hard for me to say if i would do that for this world...but God did that and he did that for you!! choose him because he chose you!

Cristina16

12-06-2003, 02:57 AM

Yes i know i need God in my life and i'm trying to focuse on him. I want my son to go to church and i want him to have God in his life. I want that too. But i don't know that the church that i attened will accept me going there. Because i'm pregnant and i'm not married. I don't think they want me there. I love going there and i miss going there. I hope i can go there after my son is born. But for now i will pray and hopefuly things will turn out ok in the end. Thank you and God Bless.

KrazyEuro

12-06-2003, 03:42 AM

then find a church that accepts you!!! dont throw your salvation away based on some people you grew up and reject you...those are not the type of people you want to associate with anyways... find your "TRUE" friends and find comfort in them...Seek the Lord and Find comfort in HIM!!!! Find a church and seek COMFORT there!! dont wait on salvation Cus God never Gurantee's tomorrow!!

Cristina16

12-08-2003, 10:43 PM

i know i should find a different church, but i like going to this church where i went to. I really felt God when i went there. When i went to youth night i loved it. It felt like everyone wanted to be there because they loved God and because they felt his presence there at that church. I don't really want to find another church but if thats what i have to do then i will. But it will be hard. Things are going to change for me but they are changing for the better. Thanks again for praying for me and my problems. Thank you and God Bless.

Cristina16

12-10-2003, 01:25 PM

I think this Sunday i will go to church with my friend and her step mother. I hope everything goes will and i really don't care if people stear and say things. Even though they're not suppose to talk about people in church or anywhere for that matter. They're Christians right? Thank you for your help and God Bless.

God answered my prayers with your guys help and your prayers. I spent Christmas Eve with my family and my mom. She wasn't mad anymore. Thank you so much. And i got to spend Christmas day with my boyfriends family and him. Which was really nice. Thank you so much for all your prayers. But i still need to keep on praying for my family to work out. For everything to be fine with the delivery of my son and i hope New Years will be fine. I hope i can go to church some how and i hope i can do more things that are pleaseing to God. I need to do everything in my power to make things right with God and for me to worship him with my son. Thank you again so much for your prayers. Love you all and God Bless each and every one of you.

I thank him so much. I have everything i need and in a few weeks i can go to church again. I really do miss going and now that he's out i can go and worship the LORD with my son.

Oh woww.... this entire conversation is such a poweful testimony!!! You are so strong, Cristina! I thank God so much that He has worked in your life and helped you through all the trials.... and I am sooo sooo glad that you have decided to go back to church! I'm just sorry that I couldn't be here from the beginning... but God sent all these awesome people into your life to help out. I'm praying for you sweetie, and will continue to do so! Dont dwell on what others say or act towards you... for once forgiven, the past if forgotten. A sinner is a sinner... and we're all sinners. God bless and hold you in his caring arms!!!

Christina-- WOW, I am speechless!! God has worked so so much in your life and wow!! You are an awesome example to the young teens out there that are going thru tough times. I believe that God will answer your prayers and unite your family in Christ!! God can use you so much and don't EVER give up HOPE!!! I will continually pray for you, your son Gabriel, and your family! And I encourage you to stay strong in your faith and don't let NO ONE stop you from going to church, prayer or other christian activities. We are all sinners and we have no right to judge one another. Remember John 8:7 "If anyone is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." So, I believe you should rely on Jesus and let him be your #1 regardless what other's may think ans say. Just remember what Jesus said after that "Go now and leave your live of sin." I believe thru your faith and prayer that God delivers his children from sin. I will keep you in my prayers and be strong. We are here for you when you need us!! God bless you Christina and your family always!!

I really don't know how things are getting. I feel like i argue with my boyfriend chris everyday now about dumb things. But he's always the one with the last word and he yells at me for no reason. Sometimes i don't know what to do. So i pray and cry. I want things to get better with me and him cause i don't want Gabriel to grow up without his dad in his life or around. What else can i do to help chris and to try to understand why he's the way he is? I thought everything would be different but it isn't. Sometimes i feel like i'm the only one who had Gabriel. I do almost everything. I'm so tired and I don't get to sleep. I guess if i get an hour of sleep then thats fine for me. Sometimes i feel like i can t do it any more. But i still need to hold on for Gabriel. And with God in my life i will never give up. I just need help in figureing out what else to do. Please help. Thankyou very much and God Bless.

03-02-2004, 03:41 AM

Cristina, I feel for you!!! It sounds to me as if your b/f is really stressed out about this new situation that he's in and which he probably isn't ready to handle. Of course that doesn't make it right for him to yell at you all the time. Try not to take it personally, 'cause he doesn't know what he's doing. Always keep your eyes on the Almighty God, because He's by your side and He's more powerful than any situation. Whatever you do, make prayer a priority in your life, and make sure you tell God EVERYTHING.
It looks like you may have good internet access, so I would recommend a verrry good website that has a lot of great info. for you and everyone around you. I would recommend this website to anyone, for that matter. It's: www.family.org (it's the Focus on the Family website). Stay strong and courageous. Focus on today, and don't worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about itself. I'll pray for you. Remember, you and God formulate the majority! Trust in God. You'll make it!!! :)

Cristina16

03-02-2004, 01:58 PM

Thank you for your help. I will continue to pray and i will take you advice and go to that website. I think his streested because he couldn't find a job. He say that when he finds a job then everything will be ok. But i don't know about that. I mean yes he needs to find a job but i don't think that he'll make it better with me and him. Money isn't everything. He needs to have God in his life and i want him to go to church with me and Gabriel. I don't want him to run away from God. I don't know what i can to to get him to have God in his life. But thank you again for your help. God Bless.

03-16-2004, 02:42 AM

Thanks thats a good idea. I have a question though. I wanted to know, I want to go to church with my son, but he's not baptized. Can I still go or does he have to be baptized first? I really want to know so if any one knows please help me out. Because i really want to go to church. I miss going to church. Thank you and God Bless.

stinkinQT

03-16-2004, 02:44 AM

I really have no clue Cristina.. that's a good question though. Do you plan on having him baptized in the church(Binecuvintare)?

Cristina16

03-16-2004, 03:42 AM

well I'm not married so i can't have it at church. I really would like for him to be baptized.

Serbauti

03-22-2004, 06:45 PM

Cristina,
It's very good that u still want to go to church. When u say u want ur baby to be baptized, do u mean in the water? cuz that's not biblical, because first people have to believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and that Jesus died for their sins and accept Him as a personal Saviour in order to be baptized, and no one else can believe for them. Also, Jesus didn't baptize the children, he blessed them.
But if u mean to ask for God's blessings, then maybe u can call ur pastor and explain to him the whole situation, and tell him how u really feel about the whole thing (like if ur really sorry about it then tell him that). U could also tell him that u want to move on and get closer to God and serve Him (if that's really the case). (By the way, u might want to consider getting baptized if ur not already and if ur ready to make this step and dedicate ur life to God, which sounds to me like u are, but u know better.) Then u could ask the pastor if he maybe can come over ur place to pray for ur baby, cuz ur not married and u can't go in church, or maybe he has another better solution... He should be able to help u, cuz Jesus never rejected children.
This might not be very easy to do, but it's really worth a try, and U can do it! Don't give up hope!
Best wishes and success! May God bless u and ur loved ones.

Cristina16

04-01-2004, 02:29 AM

yeah I should call the pastor. But i think i want to get married first then have him blessed. I want to do that so i know for sure if he can get blessed or not. Thank you again and God Bless you all.

Cristina16

05-26-2004, 01:50 AM

well i did go to church 2 or 3 sundays ago. It was ok and i knew that people were going to say things about me and look at me wired. But i was very happy that not all the people were like that. Some people said that they haven't seen me for a while and they wondered were i went to. And i was happy that they missed me. And i'm trying to get back on the right track with God and do his word. Thank you all for helping me in paryer. God Bless you all.

^_^Bubbles^_^

06-16-2004, 04:14 PM

I will pray for you and your family. Just trust in God, He'll do His will in your life. Believe me, trusting is the only (and best ^_~) thing to do.

meesh

06-16-2004, 04:48 PM

yay!!! girl, im so glad that you went to church!!!

yeah.....for you son...that is called binecuvintare.....or in english...its called a "baby dedication". i dont know if the church requires you to be married or not.

but i want to tell you that God has that Baby in his hands whether you have a dedication for him or not. having a baby dedication is just really another opportunity for the whole church to pray on his behalf. that is all. it basically unites the church people with your family alittle more......making it more like a big family.

i will definitely still keep you in my prayers.....and i know that God can still work miracles in changing lives.

muuuahh! be blessed!!!

Cristina16

06-17-2004, 01:59 AM

well things have gotten bad. Me and the fater of my son broke up and now he is saying that my son isn't his. I don't know what to do anymore. I know that it's his but he wants to be like this i don't know why. I broke up with him because he didn't want to get a job and he didn't want to take resonsiblity of his son. My parents gave him time and he didn't find one. And now that he is living with his mom and stuff, we are having problems. I'm asking you all to help me again to pray for what has happened and that God will help me in doing the right thing. Helping me with this problem. Thank you and God Bless you all.
