This my 3rd attempt to post a thread here! (am on dial up....)

Its Been a long road. My faith/walk took a beating (I still got spiritual bruises all over) but I still beleive and give thanks to Him for helping me despite, to my shame, my lack of faith when I neded faith more than anything.
Finally found a rental (trailer) in a trailer park way put in the middle of nowhere a couple weeks ago. It aint a palace but its a 8 by 33 sardine can I can call home for now.

Took a while but no longer unemployed and homeless!

I completed my training to the new position this past friday and thus my schedule changed: istead of M - F; its Thurs thru Mon - work on Sundays.
which is ok. just gotta rely on Him to show me a church with mid week service.

only fly in ointment - out here where I live is dial up or wireless only. just got it downloaded last night.
cant afford the wireless at this time so its 26.4 kbps which dosconnects about every 10 - 20 minutes. takes up to 5 minutes to load a page here at CF!
I got disconnected twice while trying to write/post this thread! had to copy to a document then paste when reconnected.
but, at least I got internet and email.
just wanted to give an update to my situation.
I want to thank all of you who have prayed for me when it was bad. your prayer may have been at the time when I wanted to just walk awau from al this and Him but felt a mvoe of strength to hang on another day. Or to give me a calm wen all the dors was closing and I did not know where I was going to go. (even my pastor was asking God what was going on!)

The expressions of concern, friendship, love - it truly means more than you know.

God bless you all. I dont see the huggy smiley and want to get this posted before I time out again and get disconnected. consider yourselves hugged!

I'm glad you haven't given up and I hope your can is cozy. I'm writing your name right near my computer so I can remember to pray for you.

That dial up is torture. That's about all I had while at my aunt's for a week and it helps me to be thankful for advances in technology. I even drove near the local motel hoping I could pick up their signal.

I recently read a devotional that said when bad things happen we need not to ask God "Why me?" but ask Him "What next?" instead and just keep having faith that He will move us forward...even if it feels as if it is at a snail's pace. I'm SO glad that God is continuing to move you forward and that you are persevering.

You have been and will continue to be in my prayers.
