I've posted topics about books before, based on what was going on in my life at the time. This summer, the topics are as follows: -Books about becoming a mother -Books about being a Godly wife -Books about healing in a marriage -Books about Godly parenting Send me your suggestions... They...

I know that title sounds childish. Probably because it is, and I know it. maybe 5 or 6 years ago, in a different branch of the forum (maybe singles or advice) I wrote a long, ranting, bitter tirade about a girl I hate. I wrote about rediculous things she did that annoyed me. I wrote about why I...

Working 7 days a week isn't working for me. I wanted a bank job, and I was given one. My old life I had a 9-5 at a bank, and freed weekends, as well as federal holidays and paid vacation. I gave working every saturday and Sunday at the jewelry store a go for a month... one month with NO day...

I was told as a teenager when God has to take something away he will give you something better. I lost my bank career in July, which I loved for the benefits but there were issues with policies and people I worked with. Now, despite my bad credit and Baby on the way, I’ve been given a new...

So I got the job at the bank, with a start date of April 2. My next hurdle would be when and how to sit down in front of management and have the difficult conversation about being pregnant and in 5 Months needing time off for that. It wound up being a conversation I won’t have to have because...

I am 15 weeks pregnant and my baby is very healthy with a strong heart beat.. but at 8 weeks, when the dr. went to look at the baby on an ultrasound the first time, they discovered that my left ovary is very enlarged. A specialist last week confirmed this... a fluid filled cyst centimeters wide...

of course I’m not talking about spouses lol (I mean sure, it did - but that’s another thread for later) I’m talking about jobs ... So I lost my career at a bank 8 months ago. I have been trying to find another bank to work for, but with bad credit it was looking like it would have to be a...

people always say leave it up to God’s will or only God’s will will prevail not yours... but in some cases I wonder if He wants us to choose what we want before He wills something to happen. Not always but in some cases. Those moments when we come to a “fork in the road” and you can go “this...

I realize a few months ago I was coming from an angle of desperation... wanting to get out of big-box (heck) and into something with a small, professional environment. Due to financial concerns, I felt at the time this opportunity needed to be a full time 9-5. Instead, God lead me to a small...

So for those who didn't read the "in desperate need of 9-5" prayer request, I needed to get out of a job at a big box store that I had obtained last minute last year when unemployed. It served its purpose, but due to some person reasons and also discovering that I'm pregnant, I needed an easier...

Prayer friends, I had a 9-5 at a bank for 6 years and though it was not perfect, I was grateful for it. Unfortunately, in the final year there, I was moved from a branch full of loving coworkers to one with some very difficult characters and I got worn down with their mistreatment of me. So I...

So a new year began, and I started my Daniel Fast again. Each week, a serious prayer topic for 3 weeks. The first week, my topic was the marriage. It almost failed last year. I’m tired of feeling like I’m close to my PNR and divided... some days, I want to make it work with him. I want it to...

Mine starts tomorrow through the 23rd. I did one last year. I learned it from a couple who wanted a baby but health was preventing it and no sooner did they try it... they were pregnant that year. I think I explained this on here before. I don’t want to get pregnant... but my desires for my life...

So as you know from my other backstory posts.... Finances took a nose dive this year because of 3 factors. 1) losing my bank job and the benefits from it and switching to Target ( suprisingly only a pay cut of less than 50 cents an hour but I have to pay for my own health benefits outside of...

My target job... something picked up hastily to save myself from unexpected unemployment.... was meant to just last a few months and I would have to go on to the next thing but it is now deemed permanent because I surpassed the decision making for the seasonal hires and worked hard enough to get...

So there are many times God gives someone a sign in the bible... I.E. the rainbow after the flood or the signs given to Moses. But yet it later says not to ask for them. The reason I'm writing this post is because I'm wondering about taking things AS a sign, when I didn't ask for the sign I just...

...and left the secondary job, which I hated, and am just making a greater effort to keep 40 hours at my main one. I rather have a tight budget ... and a little bit of sanity left. And some time to rest. And some time for my marriage. But the leap of faith part... that’s because I don’t know...

I know I should just be grateful to have paychecks. But I'm really struggling. I worked for a bank for nearly 6 years, and got spoiled by the 9-5. I left to go to a better bank, but the offer was withdrawn. I wound up working at Target. I'm not complaining about Target.... I walked in there and...

...go back to treating him like he’s the love of my life. He and I fought so much since about May 2016 and even before that but 2016 was when he found out something terrible from our breakup in 2012 before we were married... a secret I kept... and he flipped out. Instead of embracing trauma I...

At the beginning of the year, I was fighting with my husband too much. I had been for a long time and I was finally at my witts end. Sometime towards the end of January, I met a man who frequented a coffee shop that I went to almost every day before work (at the bank at the time). It was just a...
