Have you ever said "STOP! That's Too Much?!"

So sorry that your relationship is coming to an end! Moving is always stressful along with everything else in your life you must feel a little lost to say the least some days... I will be praying for you in the upcoming month that you are at least able to find the perfect place for you to live and that the move goes smoothly and you have a good start to this next chapter in your life! HUGS ~Heavens~

Thanks and I'll do the same for you. I do know that I'll be moving in with my oldest daughter and her hubby and 2 dogs lol for a while. I'll stay there until I figure out if or when I want to go back to Texas. It will probably just be a matter of when. You are right, there are days I look around here at all the memories we've made together and the thought crosses my mind.......there won't be anymore. But, I am just focusing on what I need to do and what my future holds.

You are welcome! I am so glad to hear to hear that you will be with family at this time! Know that I am here for you if you need me! ~Heavens~

My prayers are with you that you have a much better year ahead! ~Heavens~

Thanks!

There's more? Horrors! (((((((((((((((((heavens))))))))))))))))

First of all, I want to say how glad I am to see you here as it has been quite a while since I have seen you around! Thanks also for stopping by here to inspire me today! We had a great Christmas and a wonderful New Years spent with family it's just all that has happened since then!!! I will say that I am thankful that our son's therapy costs are covered for a few months now thanks to the great generosity of my parents...We truly were blessed at Christmas and that was a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. I know I should focus on the positive but when so much happens at once it is hard to do so! The thing is I have not shared all that has gone on here...there is more! One can only handle so much and you lose sight of the good! ~Heavens~

My prayers are with you for your son! Thanks so much for sharing with me here! ~Heavens~

Hello cynthiann! I will be looking into these outlets but first I must clean the apartment...things have went down hill here since I lost my daycare kids I thought I was going to have and so I lost the will to care if my place was clean and it is not acceptable for the Landlord to see so I have been cleaning as I have had the time! As for my boy he is five and has Autism so the behavior has to do with his understanding and social settings...Unfortunately, there will not be a quick or easy fix! He is our only child.... I like the idea of righting the list though even if most of the problems (Not listed here) are out of my control perhaps it will aid in a more concentrated prayer time! Thanks so much! I truly do need and appreciate your prayers! ~Heavens~

I hope that you are successful in 2009 in quitting that smoking habit! ~Heavens~

Yes I saw your response and I thank you for it! It is true that I was not wanting to be misunderstood... That I could have brought all of what is in my life right now on myself would make me feel so sad and I'd just have to give up! I do believe that the Lord is teaching me something...I'll figure that out soon enough I suppose but most of my problems if not all are out of my control!! I know you are at the beginning of a particularly difficult year that has started off particularly bad on a couple of counts... I saw also that you referred to what else may be wrong in my life that I have not mentioned...Much of it is within the extensions of our family such as my cousin(s), SIL and Husband's Step Mom! Too much!!!! ~Heavens~

That's just me and who I am...You should know that by now! ~Heavens~

That's definitely a wise decision I should take a lesson from you ~Heavens~

It does seem that way for so many people these days between money and health and family issues there seems to be so much these days for everyone and more for some than others...It is true I often wonder what God is trying to do as I know at least two families personally who are much worse of than me...of course, both of these are part of my extended family...So much going on for sure! I agree we need to give all of this over to God, if we don't we will surely explode!!! I keep reminding myself the He has a purpose and I know his ways and plans are for good! ~Heavens~

I know what Supplying is like...I did that before I had my son and most weeks was out five days a week but it is true I did not know from day to day if I would be working and was always on call! I am glad that you had enough to pay your bills for January...My prayers are with you in February as well! ~Heavens~

Yes, I know what that is like too... March Break, Christmas Holidays, Long Week-ends and two months in the summer there was no pay for me but when I was working I made $16.30 an hour! Thankfully I had no children then and things worked out pretty well for me actually! My prayers are with you! ~Heavens~

Thanks, they give us one week off in Feb in NY called Mid-winter break and that means lost income to me, so I need all the luck I can get for this month. Thanks and take care.

I 'do' understand what you're saying here, joycemiranda. It's true that we're taught to give thanks in all circumstances, but there are times in our lives when our situation is so dire, that we fall short of this goal of giving thanks. I do believe also that God understands this, and he doesn't expect us to be perfect. It is in these desperate times that He carries us, otherwise many of us would've fallen by the wayside long ago. It seems to me, that some people just have a lot more trials in their lives then others, and it remains a mystery. This doesn't mean that we 'always' bring these situations on ourselves. I'm sorry for whatever consequences you're now suffering, and trust that things will turn out for you. In the case of 'heavens' here, I 'know' that the things she's mentioned were not brought on by herself. As I believe she's mentioned here already, her son is autistic, and she struggles daily to care for him, while working far too many hours outside her home. Any person without a special needs child, would be exhausted from the schedule she keeps. She continues to explore every avenue, in her determination to give her son the best possible life. She's the one responsible for getting all of the support people they need, and for making sure that appointments are kept, etc. She's done a wonderful job, and it saddens me to see these new difficulties that their family is facing at her son's school. As for the other things she's mentioned, I'm sure the outlets that need repairing are just old, because of the age of the building they live in. It's hard to function when things like this happen, and you're already dealing with so much. She desperately needs to find new employment, and has tried many avenues which have not worked out so far. This too, is not her fault. I do believe God has been faithful in these circumstances, but surely there must be a victory around the corner. Again, 'we' are all only human, and God does understand this. I hope you don't mind me jumping in here heavens, but it's late, and I must say my heart broke (further) when I read 'this.' I didn't want to see your topic misinterpreted, as I certainly understand exactly where you're coming from. Hugs

Thanks so much Mom! I truly do appreciate you here as always! ~Heavens~

I don't let others make me do anything I don't want to do either! It is good to be your own person Welcome to My Lot also! ~Heavens~

Good Morning Nana! Thanks so much for stopping by! I agree that it is good to get out for a bit and enjoy some time...To make the most of a bad situation and pull some good out of it somewhere is so important! Me posting this discussion here this morning is a huge start in things turning around for me as I have not posted much here in the last three weeks with all of this going on... I believe I am on my way to getting back on track here for sure now! Love and Hugs ~Heavens~
