Have been throwing myself in to work of late, for two reasons, main one.. need the money. Second one.. not sure where i am going in life. I am not unhappy with my life but then i am not feeling great about it either. I dont know if it is just because this year has been so hard and it has just hit me or it is my age, lol. Just dont know where i am going in life, cant really explain this but i am sure some of you, if not all of you will understand this. Have my faith, that is still strong, i take sunday school, am on the church council. Thanks for the moan. |

Well haven`t snapped out of it yet, Went to look for a new sofa yesterday, walked round and round found lots i liked just didnt have the money to but them. Got upset and said to my mother that i am fed up with just making do, i dont want to get into the credit thing, as yet i dont owe any money to anyone, (not bad for 14 years on my own.) Just sick to death of have second hand and having to wait so long before i get any thing new. Thanks... |

I think it's amazing that you've made it alone for 14 years and have no debt. That is priceless. How do you do that? I guess I'm in a total fog being umemployed, using my credit cards to buy food now. I can't imagine what I'd do if I didn't have the credit. I know what you mean about not feeling fulfilled. Again, you sound to me like you've really got it together... church involvement, etc. It sounds to me like you've got a lot of love to give and are looking for somewhere to channel it. Look harder... maybe God is trying to direct you somewhere where He's got a plan for you. |

JAy Jay, I hope you are feeling better today. I have been in a mood latly myself. I think we talked about this about the same time last year. Holidays are right around the corner and thought I love spending them with Lexie family and friends, it is still like something in my life isn't quite complete. I have been working 50 or 60 hours a week at work and the rest of my time is spent with lexie or worrying about the move. I am bit freaked about not having a gauranteed job when I move, moving into a small furnished apartment and basically starting my whole life over. I am 32 I should not be doing this right now. But I am faithful that He has an amazing plan for lexie and I and things will work out, I made the decsion to move by trusting HIm the timing of the move happened after problems at GU are finally settling down, again, thanks to Him making us wait a few extra months. I have hobbies, I am starting to get out and do things again, though it will be nice to find some new friends in DC and get to hang out with adults. You have done amazingly well, I wish we could all say tht after 14 years we don't owe any one money , I owe, luckily I have not got into the credit card thing but, paying on medical bills and things like that. You have done well and you should be proud of yourself. |

Thanks for your words. I think it has helped that if i want anything i just wait untill i have the money to buy it. Sometimes it drives me mad, but i think having to wait for anything is hard at times. I dont know what god has in mind for me, i will just wait and see where he sends me. I think we all have times in our life when we wonder where we are going, and maybe when we are on your own will children, we think about it more as every thing we do we do alone. Sometimes it would be nice to hand over all the hard stuff to someone else, just for a while. Never mind we get through it. Thanks for the support. |

I can relate to your struggle. I'm a single mom(never-married) with a 15 year old daughter. If not for God's grace and mercy,and Him putting people in my life who can provide emotional support, it would be even HARDER than it is. I'm also battling a chronic illness(Multiple Sclerosis). I pray for ALL of us single parents--it's not easy being a parent when you DO have a mate! Be encouraged, and know you're not alone. |

How are things now JayJay? I can relate to what you were saying. I think a lot of it has to do with being single with children, at least for me. I look around and see people who seem to be settled into their lives. They don't have to wonder where they will be in a few years - they pretty much know. It's sad and frustrating for me sometimes but on the other hand, it's kind of exciting. My youngest is graduating in June and I will be 43. I think that's pretty young - haha. I can do what "I" want soon. Of course, I will wait until he is settled into what he's going to do. In the meantime I feel that unsettled, ansy feeling too. I ordered carpet for my living room and it should be installed in a week. I think that's just something to pacify me until I really know where all of this energy inside of me is going to be channeled. Take care. |
