Here is a sort of "picture story" to illustrate carrying your cross. Just thought I'd share it since it's relevant.
It's called "Whatever your Cross".

Hi Zoxsasi,
I agree with John's answers. I wouldn't be able to pinpoint a specific source for my answers, but it's stuff I've learned from my parents and Church.
I think of my cross as my life, the circumstances that God gives me to live in, whethe…

It is important for your friend to understand that although she is in a relationship with this guy, they are still considered brother and sister in the eyes of God. Also, even when a man and woman are engaged, there is no physical contact because, a…
hi everyone, i know it might be a bit too late now since most people in this topic probably already got the iPhone (including me!!!), but there are a bunch of Christian apps i have (some coptic, some general) that i want to recommend, which are FREE…

Soo... i propose all Coptic Christians live on an island! we can call it retreat island! where it will be an ever lasting retreat (until we die :D )!!

I think it would be okay to mail him too. Of course face to face is better in a lot of cases, but I guess just as long as you let him know somehow, it would still be considered honest on your part.
Those are all good ideas g2here!!
Christrules, you can also try writing a to-do list and scratch off the things you finished so that your list gets smaller and smaller! Motivate yourslef. Reward yourself when you work hard and get things done.

I do agree that all our parents want the best for us and especially to be happy and have a successful job and life. Don't you hear Egyptian parents say, "3ayzak teb2a ahsan wahed/wahda" (i want you to be the best)...?
And I cannot argue against obe…
Eat well (fruits/veggies, also FISH is great brain food, mostly because it has the good fat that we need, almonds too), sleep well (not just enough hours, but try not to think about anything before), and pray for God to keep things in your head so t…

Wowww...that is exactly what i face A LOT!! I think sometimes to get over all that, it's best to just stop thinking. I mean, we're all humans, of course it is so hard not to think, but if we could just forget the past and not anticipate the future, …
Crazy4Christ1,
Don't worry you're not the only one! Many of us go through that. I understand how uncomfortable that feels.
When i talked to my FOC about this he told me that sometimes we need to push ourselves to do it - push ourselves to wake up an…
I think the girl being a few months older is not a big deal...it really depends on both the guy's and the girl's maturity level and their perspective on the matter. Will the relationship work out for them? And every one is different...maybe the age …
Maybe you could choose a favourite psalm to pray or bible passage to read when you are stressed. I usually turn to Philippians because I find St.Paul's words so soothing, and it's a short and easy read. Or even listen to audio bible.
