Personal Issues / Calling my FOC
« on: July 03, 2012, 07:22:54 PM »
Hello everyone!
I have a problem, I haven't confessed in a while and was supposed to last week but there was a unexpected funeral at Church so I couldn't talk to Abouna then.
But, I really don't like calling my FOC because I feel guilty, like I'm invading on their privacy. Since he has like six kids and also works. The problem is I feel like this too much which delays me to have confession. What do I do???
May God bless you all Amen

Personal Issues / Looking nice
« on: April 30, 2012, 07:03:30 PM »
Is it bad to want to look nice or dress up?
Recently, I have been thinking about going to prom. Before i had always taught of it as vanity
but as i get near to it, i feel like it could be fun if i just go to dress up and be with friends and leave immediately.
I also wouldnt have to pay because im on the newspaper and they need photographers to go.
I feel like if i go it will prove to me why i love God so much and would rather go to Church then parties.
any opinions , advice...

Selam everyone,
I have an appointment on Saturday to take the driving test in order to get my drivers license, but only one problem in order to get it you have to have drove 50 hours, (40 daytime n 10 night)!
I only drive in the day time and can only remember like 2-3 times where i have drove at night.
People are telling in me to just lie and write on the driving log that i have done all my hours but i don't want to do that.
My mom doesn't want me to waste her gas either.
Help please!!!!
May the prayers of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III be with us all
May God bless us all, amen

Hey Marmar, Pope Shenouda does not mention his miracles in his book.
Fr. Paul does towards the end of the sermon, He mentions about 2-3 miracles perform by His Holiness.
May God bless n pray for me

How can i know myself more? I read a quote from St. Augustine,
"How can you draw close to God when you are far from your own self? Grant, Lord, that I may know myself, that I may know Thee.”
I feel like this is something i really need to do, any advice?
May God bless us all Amen

Is writing down that you teach Sunday school at Church for scholarships bad, for community service hours?
Since i do teach the younger kids in Sunday school class.
I know a lot of people who have done so and am debating if i should do it know since i am applying for scholarships.
What do you think?

Personal Issues / How do i deal with classmates?
« on: November 30, 2011, 11:55:14 PM »
In the name of the Holy Father, and the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit, One God Amen!
Hello everyone,
I have this one class in my school that lasts for three hours and during those three hours, i find myself getting so fustrated and annoyed with what goes on in there.
Most of the students in that class do not listen to what the teacher says and basically do what they what like curse out loud(say the Lords name in vain), play their music, and walk around the classroom.
This makes me so annoyed because i dont feel like i can focus on my work because of the noise level and immaturity that takes place in there. If you were to go in that classroom you would most likely find me isolated with a fustrated look on my face. I'm not a very extroverted person.
I want to have a positive Christian impact on the people i meet, but i feel like they think i feel like im better then them or stuck up or too extreme. How can i be a light in such a situation where i feel so annoyed, when the people around me are talking about drugs and sex in most of their conversations, and say things about God? I really dont look forward to that class, and feel like that class brings down my day and it effects me mentally.
May God grant you the grace to help me with this and bless you all!
Pray for me a sinner.
