Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I just wanted to say thank you for everybody. Who’s praying praying for my daughter.
Another big praise report!
I spoke to my daughter on the phone yesterday, and she mentioned to me that she started following a Pastor on Instagram to get a better understanding about me and my mom regarding her LGBT identifying.
To get a better understanding of our Christianity, she actually went back to her youth pastor and his wife, and met with them and had a 3 hour conversation regarding everything that’s going on in the world, and how to deal with my mom and I.
She also made cookies from my mom’s Thursday morning Bible study group last week.
A while back, I finally gave up on her, and gave it all to the Lord. I said Lord… Only you can fix this. she is still all in on this LGBT issue. Yesterday God winked at me, and told me this is how I’m working.
I just wanted to say how grateful I am for all of your prayers, and if we can continue to pray for her to find her way back to the Lord. She claims that she wasn’t seeking God, that she just needed advice. But we know what the truth is.
I am so grateful that she sees so much of Jesus in my mom and myself, that she needs to find a pastor from her past youth, to try and explain it all to her. Thank you Jesus.
