Hi Worthy, I'm Chancer, a used-to-be avid poster on Worthy. I was a young teenager when I used Worthy the most, and I've been meaning to join up with the community again. As glad as I am to be back, I'm saddened by my reason for needing to post currently. I'm an 18-year-old Christian female, and my older brother (who is away at college) and parents are Christians as well. Both of my parents are very involved at my church (as board members, sunday school teachers, etc. etc.), and I've always had great respect for their spiritual maturity. I'm very thankful for this, but at the moment I'm being faced with something that I'm not sure how to handle. My family is very close and I love them very much, but I'm afraid I've stumbled upon something that could put a damper on things. While looking for a college website (on my parent's computer back in January) I found some links to questionable material. I didn't immediately panic, because I knew that sometimes questionable pop-ups can come up by themselves. I decided to check the computer's history just in case, and I was shocked to find that the previous three weeks of history contained questionable links as well. This is a computer that my father uses quite often, and I knew that he was the one accessing these links. I printed out the computer's history and have continued doing so up till now. I didn't say anything before because I thought maybe it was just a phase or something that conviction would take care of. No questionable links showed up for a few weeks even which had me thinking it was all taken care of. The links have begun showing up again though, so I feel now is the time to act. I'm not sure what to do. I feel that my mom deserves to know, but I don't like the thought of having to be the bearer of this type of news. If I don't tell, I feel like I'm lying. If I do tell, I feel like I'll be causing problems. I will only be living at home for another year or so because of college, so I won't have to deal with this much longer....which makes it tempting to me to just pretend everything is fine. I can't bring myself to do that though. Any advice would be very appreciated. God Bless! Chancer

Oh good topic! I have always wanted to meet Rebecca St. James or Renee O Connor. Rebecca St. James is such an amazing woman of God along with being an awesome singer. Renee O Connor has always been one of my favorite actress' because she is so down to earth and always seems to play good clean roles.

Hey Sandok, I feel ya brother....it is not easy is anyway to be a Christian. I am a teenager and am surrounded by those who think Christianity is crazy or not true all day long at school. It would be very easy for me to turn away from God because of all the pressure, but I know God is real and I just can't turn away from him. You have to make up in your mind that you know God is real and no matter what you are going to live for him and believe in him. Stay in God's word and meditate on it. Sometimes the scripture is the only thing that keeps me going. So please brother don't give up....Be strong for the Lord! Your Sister in Christ, Chancer

This story broke my heart. To think that they purposely killed this innocent little baby is horrible. I do agree that they should be punished, but to what extent is the question. They need Jesus. your sister in Christ, Chancer

Hey Sandok, I am sorry to hear that you feel so lost. You don't have to feel this way. Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior loves you so much and wants to dwell with you. In loving you so much when he is in your heart you feel the love he has for you. I remember before I was saved I felt the same sense of not belonging to anything. I admitted to Christ that I was a sinner, asked him in my heart, and now I am a new person. Your feelings of being lost can be taken away in an instant through a relationship with Christ. I know it is hard to believe in Christ and Heaven, etc. If you ask how I know it is all real....well I know he is real because of the peace he gives me, I know he is with me all the time and will never leave my side. If you just keep up the faith, he will make himself evident to you. God Bless You Sandok, and I hope my comments helped. Your sister in Christ, Chancer

Hey Bob, I know I have felt like that at times and I am sure I am not alone in saying that.You said you know you are not a fraud so it is the devil telling you that.I think that is one of the main ways that the devil tries to get Christians to turn away form God he gives them doubt.When i begin to feel like this I immediately pray and ask God to keep this doubt out of my life and to give me strength and faith.God Bless! ur sis in Christ Chancer

Hi Lexismom, I am also very sorry to hear about this.The only thing I know to do is pray with faith that everything will be ok.I know things seem so horrible right now but this too shall pass and good will come.Try ot be patient with her and this situation.God will help you through this.God Bless! ur sis in Christ Chancer

Hey Rerun, So you know that she likes you like more than a friend so maybe she is quiet like that because she gets nervous around you.It is not your fault if that is the case it is just that she is probably trying to be really careful and not do anything that she might feel stupid about later.You know she may just be quiet like you said and if she is she probably does not mind you talkin.Most quiet people are good listeners and do not mind listening to others talk a lot.(I am a talker and the only way I know that is because one of my quiet friends told me when I thought something was wrong because she never talked and just answered me if I asked her something.)God Bless! ur sis in Christ Chancer

Hey, Well what I do is read my Bible every night for a few minutes then pray and usually write some things in my prayer journal.Something that I think is worth while is reading a christian book series.Not necessarily a devotional book but a christian series.The christian series I am reading is Diary of a Teenage Girl.They are great books!Another thing I like to do that i think it productive is listening to Christian music.If you want to watch TV you can make it worth while and useful by wathcing christian television programs.One that i really like is the 700 Club.Another thing that I think is very very productive is coming on Worthy.You can get into a good Biblical discussion,pray with others about their needs,and maybe discuss struggles that you may be having.Oh and you could try writing maybe a christian poem or story.I also like the ides of memorising scripture.There are many Christian Bible games that you can get a Christian stores that are fun to play.You can sing praises to God or play praises to him on an instrument.Oh a very important one would be telling others about him when maybe you are out in town or are on the phone.If you are on the phone with a christian friend you both can discuss something about your christian walk.I also like to research Christian topics online for myself which can be very fun and interesting.God Bless! ur sis in Christ Chancer

Hey Barracuda, Well it is according to when I am reading.If I am reading late at night I usually do get really tired but tht may just be because it is late and I am tired.When I read during the day I usually do not get tired.God Bless! ur sis in Christ Chancer

2bba, Don't Give up!!! Cleave to the Lord in time of struggle! God Bless! ur sis in Christ, Chancer

Hey 2bba, I am sorry to hear about what all has been happening in your life lately.Even in the hardest times we must be thankful for these hard times because they only make us stronger.Try to find the good from this.Just think while going through this you and God can grow closer.Oh and when you get through all of this you will have an awesome feeling of sucess.Also since you went through this you have a greater testimony that you can share with others and maybe help them if they may be going through the same things.For who's fault all of this is....Well I know it is not God's fault and I really doubt that it is your fault.I know the devil is the one who brings unhapiness and sorrow so he is part of it.You know this could be a test that God is allowing you to take.Anyway the main thing I know to do is pray so lets pray... Dear Father, I lift up 2bba to you today and ask for relief from all of this.I pray that you will give him strength to get through this.I am thankful because I know this will only make him stronger.I pray for a healing in his body that he will need no more surgeries and that the pain will all go away.I pray that you will help him deal with the losses of these family members.I pray that you will also heal his wife today.Please father help them in their finances and money troubles and show them where to go next in life.father I ask that you would hold 2bba right now and love him and show him that you will never leave him and that you are not doing this to punish him.Father just give him a peace and a comfort today.I praise you for what you have done and are going to do in this situation. In Your Precious name Amen God Bless!! ur sis in Christ Chancer

I do not think God would ever tell a person to do something we could not do.God only asks us to do things that we are capable of doing.Now there is one case where we may not be able to do something God wants us to do and that is when we do not ask God to help us do it.By ourself we can not do many things but with God we can do anything we need to do. ~*~ I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me ~*~ God Bless! ur sis in Christ Chancer

Dear Freebird, That is something that you,this girl,and God truly know.All I know to do is pray hard.God will show you if this girl is the right one for you.God Bless! ur sis in Christ Chancer

Hey, Many have given some pretty great advice so take it all to heart.My only advice has probably been said before and that is to never do anything that you think God would not be happy with.Also never pass what you are comfortable with.If your boyfriend is a true good boyfriend than he will respect your boundaries and if he doesnt then I would really consider having a firm talk wiht him or start rethinking your relationship.God Bless! ur sis in Christ Chancer
