I am a single 23 year old that is just now getting buged by her family about the fact that I do not and have never had a boyfreind! I get very jealous of my sisters; one is older and one sister is younger than me and they have lots more experience than me! I hurts me to be single and I struggle big time. Any advice or help?

Hello!

Hi everyone. My name is Dana111 (not really , and I am brand new to this forum. My sister encouraged me to connect with EWB because I have been struggling with sexual addiction and immorality for the past 15 years. I am 27 years old, and I have been a Christian for as long as I can remember. I just want to connect to women who are trying their best to live a life holy and honorable to Christ, but who find themselves in the trenches of their sinful behavior.

I look forward to chatting with you guys!! God Bless!

Hi- newbie from England

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 08:35:58 GMT

Hi, I'm new here, having just read completely his, which I thought was brilliant.

I'm from the NE England, I'm 47 and single, and have known Jesus since I was very young, though He is continually surprising me.

I hope to meet people here to share laughter and experiences with, and maybe even find a prayer partner, something I find hard at home, as people where I live tend to have their husbands or sisters as prayer partners, or friends they've known for years.

Thanks!

Looking forward to encouragement and encouraging others!

New gal!

Wed, 20 May 2009 04:30:34 GMT

Hey y'all!

Well, as you can see, I'm a newbie!
I'm 15yrs old, in yr 11, and trying to live a life of purity and Godliness in a culture that pushes the opposite! I'd love to make some good friends who will encorage me to do the right thing and not give into temptation. Advice from (older) more experienced women who would love to share would be great!
Just a little of my journey... I have, for a number of years, struggled with masturbation, however, in the last few months I have really found strength though reading books such as Every Young Woman's Battle to overcome temptation. I know that God in me is most powerful and I am destined to overcome sin! PS. I still struggle... alot! So, I'm on the look out for someone/s who wouldn't mind keeping me accountable and supporting me. I'd love to do the same for anyone else as well - just let me know!

Blessings to you, girls 4 God!

Prayer

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 22:44:55 GMT

Hi, I am new here and wanted to have prayer for what I am dealing with. I recently reconnected with a boyfriend from years ago and have talked to him everyday non stop since november. I find myself anticipating his emails, his texts and the chance of running into him. My mind wonders off to being with him even when my husband of 20 years is right next to me. I find myself being more explicit in messages and "inviting" to him but he has not taken the "bait". I want to stop this and feel tremendous guilt about it. I have to add that my H is not emotionally fulfilling at all. I chalk it up to how he was raised but it is harder to deal with as I get older. I thank God the EA has not taken up any of the offers but the guilt I deal with is about to kill me. I would be devastated if my H was involved in something like this with another woman! I am also worried about how the EA man feels about me or what he thinks of me.

Shannon's NEW Web Community!!

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:40:56 GMT

Hello friends!
Shannon has started a new web community to foster conversations and connections between her readers for all her books.
Have no fear this form will continue to remain open and active. However Shannon and her staff will be posting on this new community.
~Skyla

(A article from her February newsletter)

Why Do We Need Community?
HTML clipboard ML clipboardI was recently flipping channels while walking on my treadmill, and came across an interesting documentary about a young boy who was abandoned as a toddler and raised by a pack of wolves. As you can imagine, his table manners were pretty atrocious and his social skills certainly wouldn’t land him a job at any Fortune 500 company. It took years of living in captivity and being coached by caring adults before he learned to fulfill his destiny of being a productive young man who could be in healthy relationship with other human beings.

We can’t deny the benefit of living in community with like-minded individuals. Whatever we aspire to become, it helps to surround ourselves with those very kinds of people. And that is especially true when it comes to our sexuality!

Unfortunately, openly discussing matters of human sexuality in our homes and churches is still incredibly taboo. Every time I speak somewhere, people lament the fact that their parents never told them anything (or said ridiculous stuff like “sex is horrible, dirty, nasty… so save it for the person you marry”). The church often focuses so much on the negative aspects of sex (adultery, fornication, pornography, etc.) that we can easily lose site of the fact that our sexuality is a beautiful gift from God intended to bless our marriage relationships. Sometimes we can feel so alone in our pursuit of a holy sexual lifestyle, and have nowhere to turn to ask the hard questions or seek sage advice about healthy marital sex.

That’s why I’m so excited to announce that we have created three new Web Communities for the benefit of our readers:

 * Every Woman’s Battle - for adult women looking to overcome pre-marital or extra-marital sexual & emotional temptation
 * Every YOUNG Woman’s Battle - for teens and college students who are seeking to guard their minds, hearts and bodies in this sex-saturated world
 * Sexually Confident Wives - for married couples looking to connect more intimately and cultivate the strongest and healthiest sex life possible

None of us learn to be healthy sexual beings on our own. Countless wonderful individuals lined my personal journey toward sexual integrity and sexual intimacy in marriage. All of them were invaluable - counselors, pastors, college professors, other authors on the topic, etc. etc. But I have to admit that friends - fellow strugglers on the path - have by far been the most helpful. When you’re feeling overwhelmed by sexual and emotional battles, you want to be encouraged by someone who’s been there, done that, got the t-shirt and the video, and walked away an OVERCOMER!

That’s exactly the kind of folks that will be gathering in these three segments of the Shannon Ethridge Web Community. If you need encouragement in one of these areas, or if you have encouragement to grant others, I hope you’ll consider joining us by clicking here (http://shannonethridge.ning.com/)!

Embraced for the God of Israel

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 19:31:09 GMT

     Hi, there. :-) I'm 33 and have never dated. I am still a virgin physically--thank you, Jesus; even so, Jesus is helping me walk in victory over masturbation and Internet pornography.  I struggle with depression and having hope of improving my character enough to be valued and loved unconditionally now and especially in marriage (I recognize that I have a stronghold in my thoughts of performance based acceptance).
     I was sexually violated as a child and grew up with anger and some violence in the home.
     I often get caught in the negative thinking that regardless of the Bible's truth, I'm not beautiful on the inside, acceptable, and valuable. I fear I would fail at marriage, especially considering all my non-Spirit-led choices everyday.
     I feel close with God, family, and friends only in the moments and times when I'm not isolating or thinking negatively and ungratefully.

Would you all agree with me in prayer:
    Holy Spirit, help me not to believe and live by my feelings. Give me supernatural desire to love You and others and think gratefully. Amen. :-) AND apply this prayer to us all in the Body of Christ. :-)

Thanks for listening :-)
