Awhile ago, I read that God answers prayers in three ways...<BR/>1 - Yes.<BR/>2 - No, not right now.<BR/>3 - No, I have other plans for you.<BR/><BR/>Regardless which answer He gives, He does promise that He will not leave us alone... I've been in your boat... I did move back home to my Parents, with an infant in my arms and an (ex)husband running in the opposite direction as fast as he could go... and I learned that even though I was certain that my entire world was crumbling all around me, it really wasn't... and I really was never alone... <BR/><BR/>Please hold tightly to your faith, and know that you're in alot of prayers... I am so proud of how you're not just giving up... Working on your art, caring for the children, and taking care of yourself with exercise are all excellent things to be doing! Keep moving forward... <I>God bless...<BR/><BR/>~hugs 'n prayers~</I><BR/>PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005230621938925963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941239743087412663.post-89650289361959603282009-01-21T21:20:00.000-08:002009-01-21T21:20:00.000-08:00I still have to say, I am amazed at all that you c...I still have to say, I am amazed at all that you create with what you have going on! You have a strong and beautiful spirit, I know this from just the little I know about you lady! Many years ago (30 some) I too had to return home, but it was only a stepping stone....nothing is really permanent after all, is it. Maybe if you can just look at it as a step that will help you up the staircase....it's always easier for other to manage other people pain and sorrow. Know that there are lots of cyber friends all pulling for you. I think you're doing a wonderful job under the circumstances....and OK I'm babbling....giant hugs surrounding you in pink cotton candy (not too sticky but all airy and fluffy, if you know what I mean ;) oxoxooo<BR/>That dress is so darn cute!~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941239743087412663.post-65695105623012614962009-01-21T19:12:00.000-08:002009-01-21T19:12:00.000-08:00Your paper dresses are so wonderful!!

I understand depression to well as well as you do.<BR/> Remember sweetie jobs are tough everywhere, I have been looking daily and counted last years turn down letters (the ones that cared to send me one) 31 & that stings!<BR/> Going home in today's times may not be so bad. I have tried to get my family to move in with me...but then, we would need a bigger house.<BR/> God will provide and please, anytime, call me! I love ya & I pray for you and others like us.

I have been there...three times. Lost everything I had twice and have up to the last three years been a single mom. I am 51 now..lol.

Maybe the better future you crave will start with a move to pastures new??? The amount you've had to put up with recently, admitting you need help from someone else is NOT a sign of weakness, but STRENGTH :)Helen in the UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244235808545822843noreply@blogger.com
