*hugs* Lord, as you know Jo1 hasn't been feeling well the last couple of days. Lift her up oh Lord when she can not get up herself. Give her strength Lord when this sickness is fighting her body. Let her rest easily so she gets better soon. Bring her comfort when the ear aches seem unbearable. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I effing hate myself right now. I feel like such a burden to my friends and family. And I'm firmly convinced that any friends that I do have are only friends with me because they pity me.

Well, I am not really depressed, but I do need a hug. I had to move from Houston to Austin because I wasn't able to care for my Mom. If it was just her disability to walk and everything, I might have survived though I struggled a lot of the time. But then I came out of the shower one day and my Mom was gone. I went outside and she had managed to stumble down to the neighbor's apartment where she was just confused and disoriented and speaking things that didn't make sense. So the doctors told me and my sister and brother that she had dementia and that neither her nor I would be able to care for her anymore. So my sister and brother weren't able either because of work so she was sent to a nursing home here in Austin so that my aunt could be in charge of her medical decisions. I couldn't stay in Houston, so I had to leave my sister, brother, and ministry to come here where I am feeling quite alone. I can't find a church that seems right to me, and since there is a maid, there seems to be nothing that I can do except study my Bible (which is good but I just spend like 3 and a half hours in it), swim in the pool, and watch television. I want to work! I got a job but it doesn't start until July 2nd, but it still seems like such an adamant existence here. Nothing really to look forward to and watching my Mom, who I have been so close to, drastically change into a person I don't know anymore isn't fun either. And it has only been a week here!

Honestly I don't pity you. And reading this really helps me because I realize how self-centered it is to think in this way. It is pride and self-centeredness to both think yourself higher or lower then others, because you are not God-focused, but me-focused. Once we get our eyes off the one who makes so many mistakes and can't get nothing right, to the one who wove us in our mother's womb, is unlimited in all things, who loves us beyond what we could ever imagine, and tells us to cast your burdens on Him, can we ever be free from living in a world where the only thing we can do is fail, or sin, or seem to do nothing right.
"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5 STay in Christ, lean on Him, let us both stop looking at ourselves and the situation but looking to God, and He will give us peace and remind us who we are in Christ; that we are not a burden, that we are important to God... to just suck it up and have confidence in God . If we abide in Him, we are not failures and we can as Philippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes ALL things to WORK TOGETHER FOR good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."

's to you.

I spent half hour crying this morning for no reason. I'm starting to ask myself the question of why I should even bother to get out of bed.

*hugs* There are many reasons you should get out of bed every morning. The Lord our God made each and every new day just for you so that you could fulfill His purpose. He put you on this earth to live out His will. You may not know what your purpose is now, but you will soon. I still don't even know my will (or I could be living it out right now for all I know). The thing is I don't exactly know what it is, so I wake up each day pursuing the path the Lord has led me on to do what He has brought me here to do. Faith, hope, and curiousity keep me going. Aren't you curious what God has put you here to do? I think everyone is. We are all searching for our purpose. God surrounds and fills you each day with air to breathe and keeps you going by beating your heart. If He goes to all that work to keep you alive shouldn't you take the time to take in the new day and get out of bed to see just what He wants you to today and in the days to come if he allows you to live another day and then another after that.

I feel like this a lot of times too, and mostly because of experience in people treating me badly/betrayals. But it passes, and I remember how valuable I am in God's eyes, and I remember those who've been genuinely kind to me too.
Those thoughts give me more self-respect...

I will pray for you. And I am sure you're not a burden at all. *Hugs*


God bless

's That must be very tough. I will definitely pray for you. Has anything been bugging you that you just want to get off your chest. Whatever it is, take it to God first for He is able to bring you a peace unimaginable...

"Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee." (Isaiah 49:8)

The Lord will never walk away from us when He sees us fall. He will be the strength that gives us the will to carry on. In all times he will help those in need. Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. Do not let the burdens that weigh you down keep you on your knees any longer. The Lord wishes you to prosper and walk in His paths of righteousness. You will all do great things through the Lord our God. Just believe and have faith that He will always carry you when you grow weak. He will embrace you if you are grieving. He knows your loss and pain. He knows what drags you down. Let the Lord take those burdens from you...maybe even just overnight so you can sleep a full night. When you wake up in the morning you will realize that when you go to pick up your burdens once again no where near as many will be there. Walk in the light of the Lord and turn from the darkness that holds you back. The love of Jesus Christ has set you free, because Christ's sacrifice has broken all chains that could ever bind you down. The peace of the Lord be with you always.

I think I figured out the man reason why I dread getting up in the morning it's my mother this morning she was in bedroom within 5 minutes of my alarm clock going off shrieking at me at the top of her lungs then I got to thinking about it she does this 2-3 times a week. The really sad is part she was yelling at me about empty ceral bowl left in the living room the night that she found and she knew my Dad had left it in there because he was the one watching TV in there I spent the whole evening in the basement and the den where the computer is. The thing is while she is always been a overbearing she is also school teacher so it didn't start getting to me until summer vaction. I'm not saying I don't have other issues I think that's causing me to come unhinged.

I feel your pain. My parents never yell at me, but now that I have been in the process of packing and moving I think everyone's nerves are shot. So, of course they have been taking their frustrations out on me. Which is really depressing because I am far more stressed than any of them and I don't say anything about it.

I know how overbearing parents can be. My Mom was the type who loved me so much to smother me. I couldnt' go anywhere and every action I did was watched closely by her. I couldn't even go to my sister's house for the weekend because my Mom was that protective of me at 18-19. Of course I haven't always been one to disobey my Mom and as long as she left my Bible and ministry things alone I never complained. But I definitely understand how you feel. It can be frustrating to be shrieked at that much but tell God about it. He understands you inside/out... then try to tell your mom how you are feeling as well. Try to get out once in awhile!!! YOu are 27, so you can probably come and go when you get ready right? Computer is good, but a good walk outside does me good at times, even here at my aunt's house in Austin. Gives you time to talk to God and ask Him questions and everything. Anyway, hugs to you my friend. Keep your head up! There is a lot in our lives to be grateful for.

anything else? Sooner you talk out your problems, the sooner you will feel better. Remember, you might not be able to control the situation, but you can control how you handle the situation.

I lost a girl I loved to suicide and can't get past that and compare her to everyone. It's ruining my life because I'm very dull to love now. I don't want kids,a wife,a family or anything.I guess I hope I die soon.
I can't make my new girlfriend who I'd like her to be. She smokes pot all day.It starts early.Ends with her passing out and she lies constantly. That's why I'm ticked off most of my day.getting her off my mind is the best thing but then again she and I share alot.

awwwww im so sorry to hear this hun ((big hugs)) x
