Welcome to PFNNA!
If you struggle with a gap of where you are with your family - and where you would like to be...welcome! If you feel inadequate for the task of parenting...welcome! If you sometimes think your highest hope you can dare to dream for your kids is that they will somehow, by the grace and mercy of God, NOT turn out as non-psychopathic derelicts...welcome! If you often think to yourself, "Wow! I wish I was a little more mature before I started this parenting journey...welcome! And if you sometimes feel at odds with your spouse in your viewpoint and opinion, but still love him/her dearly...welcome!
Finally, this is a place where JESUS CHRIST is proclaimed boldly as LORD and the only Savior. The only one who rescues us from the righteous wrath of God against all sin. This is a place where the bible is believed and proclaimed to be true...even when it contradicts popularly accepted claims of society, or supposed scientific "proof." If these things offend or bother you, I hope you will give us a try. If you think we are flat out wrong in our beliefs, we welcome that...but we're not changing our minds.
So with that being said, let's make ourselves comfortable enough so as to let down our guard with one another, open up with reasonable transparency (while always upholding the dignity and honor of God and our fellow man), and get down to business. But let us not get so comfortable that we lose our watchfulness over our own souls or the souls of our families. Our enemy prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking those he might devour. Let us not grow hardened by sin's deceiptfulness. And let us not grow weary in the meeting together, but encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today.
Peace in Jesus,
