i'd be glad to join in with you - i agree evangelical gets a bad name, but you don't have to go to an evangelical free church to be an evangelical christian - so long as we are sharing our faith, to me its evangelical (no offense to e-free church, my inlaws actually are in one!)
i have been married 3.5 yrs, no kids, we are ttc and praying about foster/adopting kiddos. i currently watch my 5mo old nephew a few times/wk. quit my ft job 3 yrs ago to stay home and have kids, i would love to homeschool, but god has other plans right now. we are self employed so i stay busy with that and fixing up our old house we bought last year.
i pray you will all feel god close to you and be comforted in your ttc journey. | Welcome!  Quote:

There was also one that asked what people believed, and it broke it down by denomination. Some were about 4% born-again, the highest about 20% or so. More churches are closing in the US than opening up. 70% of all church-going people from 18 to 22 leave church for a long stretch. Half those return before age 30.
