Warrington is Halfway between liverpool and Manchester its a good place to be to work in either. .Sale is pleasant . I was actually thinking of North Yorks rather than textile country - in fact Halifax (not far from huddersfield) has to be one of the wettest places in britain, which is why cotton industry went there. So the weather deposits all the rain on the pennines and so the vale of york has really good summers. Far more sun than here -anywhere on the eastern fringe of Leeds or York too. Towns like harrogate are nice, but less work available.
I do love York or even Chester but even that is too close to home for me. I feel a lot safer in the South but I do miss all my friends I grew up with.

What about working and living at a children's home with your 16 year old and helping young unwed pregnant mothers learn how to become healthy moms? Are there any Christian-based children's homes where you could share your faith and help others in need? You would be a full-time missionary serving to take care of orphans or others in need of seeing God's Light through you.
I am just going to wait for the Lord to direct me. Thank you for your advice.

I know it sounds daft but had you considered abroad?
Many living costs in portugal are half what they are here. And if you stay away from the Algarve, (try silver coast) property and renting is very cheap too. The only thing that costs more is cars (they have a 30 percent duty on them, so worth driving one out there.....). But most of important of all, despite various attempts of secular authorities in parts of history to "destroy religion in a generation" (that miserably failed...read the story of Fatima) - it remains a bastion of Christianity (of the catholic variety).

I love it. I haven't heard that word 'Daft' in ages. Yes I have considered living abroad but my daughter only being 16 is studying now for the next 3 years. I have a friend who lives in Malaga, he moved from the UK with his mum who has dementia. He has asked me to live with him. I don't know what his intentions are though. I work with people with dementia, so I'm thinking he wants me to take care of his mother and I'm not sure I can do that 24/7 and she is very grumpy like her son. He has made it very clear he is attracted to me but he is an atheist and stubborn. It is only tempting because he lives in the mountains and works with horses.

Sounds like all the wrong reasons to me. At a time you are struggling to find your vocation, atheism will be a bad distraction. You need someone who will reinforce your faith, not contest it.

Ive often thought the word stubborn is looking in a mirror though! I come away from thinking "that person is seriously stubborn" but then realise, its only because I havent budged off my view either! It often takes two! Although there are things to be stubborn about, keeping faith is one of them!

I wouldn't suggest anything else than letting the Lord direct you. I wouldn't call what I gave advice. I would just say it was a suggestion. I have been blessed to work with kids as a houseparent. I didn't know such a think existed much prior to starting to do it.

I think over there George Mueller had started some orphanages. I'm not sure if they are still there.

Resist temptation. It won't be worth it. You will certainly regret the move and the abuse.

I want to do something worthwhile with my life. I live in a house made of bricks that I have to pay £1400 a month for including to heat it up, just to keep me warm and pay for water so I can be clean. Go to work, come home, eat, sleep. It's the same thing every day. My youngest daughter is 16 and at college and she lives with me. I ask the Lord to use me. I have been asking for many years. I want it to be from the Lord though and not someone suggesting I volunteer my time for some charity. I have volunteered my time many times here in the UK but that wasn't for the Lord. I have always known that God would use me one day to help others. We all strive to be like Jesus but are we really striving to be like Him. It's easy to preach but we need to practise it also. Going to church on a Sunday for 90 minutes doesn't do anything for me except feel separated from the ones who think they are better than others. Church is just another building to me with a man who preaches who studied theology. It's never really from the heart and it's frustrating. My church was a standard church building, and they went and spent £1.2 million pounds for an extension so they can have more tables to eat and yet half a mile down the road the homeless were begging for something to eat. It's all wrong. Lord send me where you want me, away from greed. There is nothing fair or equal about this world.
From a book IAM all there is by Richard Grant.

Every condition of my life reflects my thinking
All apparent motion is powered and balanced by an equal and opposite reaction - in most cases the reaction is invisible. That reaction is a fulfillment of Law. For every reaction is within its action. Man is not aware of the fact that as he gives attention to one half of the cycle he powers the other half. As I become less body-conscious and more mindconscious, I can see more clearly how I create the traumas in my life. The time has come when I must learn that I live in a Cosmic Electronic Vacuum Tube of invisibility, as a mental Being where I project my actions from that vacuum condition to manifest my creative desires. All of the Creator’s imaginings are expressed as vibration, cycles of motion
While ever I enjoy the pleasures of this body-sensed universe, I will never know WHO I AM.

My wife Elva gave me lovely lesson in acceptance when our marriage was going through a bit of a tough spot, I said to her, “Elva if you could just accept me just the way I am, we could have a lovely marriage.” She replied, “But you do not accept me.” When I asked what she meant by that, she said, “You do not accept my non-acceptance of you.” Oh boy she had me there.
Man cannot acquire wealth without creating an equal and opposite amount of poverty.
All matter is Mind in motion and has no measure, intelligence, or energy or consciousness. My car and my body or the kitchen table are only an idea, this idea is never created it appears and disappears as cycles of motion. This body called Richard appears and disappears about sixty five times a minute, to put it another way, Richard’s body lives and dies sixty five times a minute. To think this body can do anything when it has no consciousness or intelligence is an illusion. As I have come to this realization that all creation must take place in the imaginary world of consciousness, and imagine
7
what I will and know that I already have it. Form this level all concepts of, ‘you, me and self’ disappear, for I AM all there is. As my human intellect unfolds, it gradually sees the universe simply, and I become less confused as I become more aware of the reality of Mind and less dependent on motion.
A CAUSE cannot exist without being followed by its EFFECT.
