Hi I am also a Christian sahm and have been for 11yrs.
I know what you mean about finding adult conversation.
I live in Northern Michigan and would like to find someone here that is a Christian sahm too.
My Church has a number of athome moms that homeschool and I just don't have anything in common with them.
My 3 boys attend the local public school and have stood up for God so many times. I believe that if we were to take all of the Christians out of the public schools, there would be no testimony for the lost there. My boys have grown stronger from being there. Even my 6yr old told his teacher that God created the world and we didn't came from monkeys..lol |

| Daphne, I don't understand why you are looking for "Christian" moms. That sounds very judgemental and self-righteous that you are not including people of different beliefs. It seems that you are limiting yourself and not being open to others and you could be missing out on a potentially great friendship. I think there is a misconception that people who are not "Christian" or religious are somehow not as "good" or "nice" as religious people. The kind of thinking where people discriminate against others because of ethnicity or religion causes tension, conflicts and in some cases, war. I don't know if in fact Jesus came in human form to us years ago, but if he did, it seems the message that is carried throughout every religion (Mormon, Buddist, Judiasm, Catholicism, etc.) is that we need to be tolerant, accepting, forgiving, understanding and respectful. Are you living this way? I hope you will keep an open mind about others and that we are all different and there is no right or wrong when it comes to different beliefs. Thank you. |

Im wondering if I should even touch this 1.I will play devil's advocate on both accounts.Maybe she wants her children to only play w children that parents have the same belief.She may have had bad experiences w ppl and doesnt wanna take that chance.Maybe her kids got around bad ppl and did something because lil Johnnie did it too.Or maybe Lil Ashly has a potty mouth.You just never know.Maybe she needs guidance also and wants to hang and talk about God and Jesus and problems and parenting and get advice from them.I am reading a parenting book right now called Home Improvement The Book You Can Read To Your Kids.
Now on another level I see what you are talking about.I had a friend that was a Christian from the day she could reason.About 3 r 4.She died 3 yrs ago of Ovarian Cancer but she had friends that were not Christians and she had a friend that was Jewish.She loved all her friends unconditionally no matter what religion they were.She always prayed for them that they would come over to Chritianity.Like I said she still loved em even though they didnt.She had volunteered for 20 yrs at the Natl.Cancer Society and broguht several ppl to the Lord on their last days.When she got cancer she was still giving ppl rides,fixing wigs, sewing blankets ,and sewing headbands.Never 1 time did she ask to be driven to the chemo herself.She had to quit volunteering because the cancer was winning.She flipped her vehicle 1 day after a bad chemo bout.After that a friend from our church went w her.
Now after reading all that, I am not taking sides on either. When and if ppl are comfortable making friends w whoever then so be it.It will have to be on their time not ours.Maybe when and if she feels secure in her belief and her children,maybe shell venture out to make friends w ppl that are not Christians.
My dad and gramma were Jewish.My mom was Baptist.Talk about turmoil in my house growing up Lordy!!! |

| I think it was titled "Looking for Christian moms" not "Looking to discuss why she is looking for Christian moms" geesh, everything has to be a debate nowadays?!?!?! Sorry Daphne! But, welcome and "HOWDY!" but I'm far from you too! God bless..... |

I understand where you are coming from. I just accepted Jesus as my Savior last Memorial Day. I am a changed person and feel I need someone in common to help me to stay on the right path.
Ephesians 5:1,2
"Be ye therefore followers of God,as dear children"
And walk in love,as Christ also hath loved us,and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor." |

I agree with Candice.. this is ok because she did not ask for help debating this question.. she just asked for what she is looking for..... why is it not OK to what to be around other christian parents?? It doesn't mean that she does not associate or that she does not have friends who believe differently.. I agree also with you Kara, it is very important to be around all kinds of people and we can learn all kinds of things, but as parents sometimes we might feel comfortable is a playgroup setting being around people of our same faith. This does not mean we totally don't associate outside of it..
I like what Candice said we are reading too much into this...
But I know Kara what you are saying often times we have to be careful because if we dis-associate or children and ourselves from different people and different beliefs we can missing out on alot of what all people can offer....I also Like what you said Lexi, because of the way you were raised with different backgrounds that has given you I am sure alot of insight and love and respect for all walks of life......
