wow life has a way of doing a number on ya! i have been slammed trying to learn a new job. I try to be grateful i have one as many are without its hard when you dont know what you are doing and the people in charge dont bother to respond to tell you so either they don't know or something worse.

I have fallen but i don't want to stay stuck on that, the point is to get back up and to keep moving on. Sooooo i think i just have to start over, or pick up where i left off one.

anyways, sorry i have been away. Love u all and hope everyone is being blessed. there is much to offer here site wise.

thanks. well i havent been on here like i should. I know i have wandered kinda like in the desert now for some time. I am not sure i can access this site via phone but unless something changes i will be losing my internet the 30th. I got my paycheck and had enough to cover the house payment thank God and a couple small things but its all gone now and well, a 10k paycut in a year is hard to manage. course i readily admit i made several bad choices to get to this point but i am trying to save my house. Hopefully i can access via phone. i have tried to find some alternatives to internet providers for home but my choices in my area are very limited and i cant switch to dial up because i dont have a home phone . anyways tomorrow is Thanksgiving and its been a horrible horrible year but i am thankful God has helped me to see things and i know i have to let Him have control and simply stop being the person i am now. I dont like the person i am now. but I have HOPE that things will get better soon. If i can access via phone i will try to type from time to time. otherwise i will see yall when i can figure out how to get internet rehooked up!

luv ya and hope everyone has a blessed thanksgiving

Phones tend to do better on this than on chat. Though my phone will do chat if I am very careful to not touch anything but the typing spot. If someone PM's me it boots me right off.

There is the library too. And restaurants if you have a laptop. I think sometimes even fast food has internet.

I'm glad you have a job. I hope it works well. And I do wonder if you are blaming yourself too much. Sometimes we make the best choices available without hindsite. And other times we know better. Not sure which you are talking about. Going to work late often? Or picking the wrong door on the game show?

Anyway, you know to go to work on time. You don't know what is behind door number 2. And guilt is only good for a very short period of time. Long enough to get your attention and teach you. Then it needs to be released. The devil will push cold guilt down your throat. Don't take it.

Advice I very much need for myself. He throws memories of my being rude or unkind decades ago at me. And they still hurt. And that is totally out of line. I was forgiven decades ago. And haven't seen those people in decades. So be aware. That stuff is poison - and a trick the devil uses because it works.

Thanks Dema! I hope u had a most blessed Thanksgiving. I have had an unexpected donor to offer to cover the internet expenses to keep me on for another month. God is so awesome. Today when I woke up I was reminded of JOB and all the trials he went through. Then I got to thinking about those less fortunate than I am. People who are in the midst of tragic losses, people who didn't have anyone to spend Thanksgiving with. People whose only meal today came from a soup kitchen, people who don't have a warm bed to sleep in. Made me realize I have much to be grateful for and God is bigger than any problem or problems I am facing. I am humbled and amazed and have come to the conclusion that my goal is day by day to do the right thing and to try to be the person God intends me to be. I know I will be faced with a lot of temptations that are best walked away from. So, I am preparing.... spending time in prayer, listening to worship music and reading the Word and devotionals. Trying to stay focused on the ultimate goal. it will be a day by day thing but I know total reliance on God is key!

I am being constantly reminded of the need for reliance. And it seems that we never get away from that lesson. There is always something that requires us to look to God - healing, finances, our children - God is our sufficiency. And we are not.
