Have you ever just wondered....

I have been at a similar crossroads twice. Married twice, divorced twice. I am currently battling a health challenge that almost killed me a few years ago and still on most days, I am so thankful. It's only natural to wonder what will happen to us. We need something constant, something unmovable, something unchangeable in our lives. For me, it is my relationship and knowledge and faith in the God of the Bible. I will not quote any scriptures as you have a different God. I was told once, tough times don't last but tough people do, and to always look at the positive side of any situation and that today is the first day of the rest of my life. This way of looking at things has served me well. Be well and prosper!

xasasa hi oh yes my son after a year and a half finally got a job so now I am wondering if we can soon get me out of this retirement center and back into our own apartment, my son and I, I am a widow of 83 and am able' to care for myself in my own home again. I am only here as when we were evicted we had no place to go. my son is in a gov. sponsored apt. with three other men all were out of work, but thank goodness myson now has a job.So I am wondering what wonderful things the future may have for us. I am thinking postive now.

xasasa, You can’t control the length of your life, but you can control its depth. I am sorry to hear of your plight here but I suppose that's what it means they say that this is just life. I think all of us will always be needing to make a decision at some particular time of our lives and like it or not some of them can be pretty daunting and tough. Still we need to come face on with them. So, it is important that we do not cower by getting overly concern about how the decided path will be like tomorrow or in the future. Be brave, even when the path you are taking is one which will entail your sacrifice for the better good. It is never easy doing what is right, many of us has to go through it and there will be no exceptions or exemptions for everyone. Have faith in yourself and do not be afraid to make mistakes. “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” - Maria Robinson

I'm in the same boat as you in the crossroads once again at 53 years of age. I thought it was all figured out but life has a funny way of changing right before your eyes without any rhyme or reason. I haven't had a job in 2 years now after working for 32 years and is very scary. I have my house up for sell which would put me in the right direction. However, until that happens everything is up in the air and its all so very scary not knowing when my life will be back on track. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you acquire whatever your desires are.

My request to you is take up some occupation which will keep you employed.Work hard and develop skills which will make you wanted in jobs.Don't dwell on the past as you will rue missed opportunities.I know its difficult at this stage but try and do some diplomas which will add to your skills and provide opportunities in future.I wish you all the best in all your endeavors.

Hi if you are wondering about your life all i can say put everything to GOD and he will do the rest for you. Do not be afraid coz He will not leave you nor forsake you.It is so nice to have GOD in your life, you will have a peaceful life before i was once like you always wondering what kind of life would i have. I have lots of what if in my life before but when i start surrendering my life to CHRIST it makes a big change. Do not loss hope just keep on going and going. Life is a fight..GODBLESS

i dont really worry about what life will bring me, i know which way i want to head and what i want to do with my life. and i work in that way. i know what i get to face in life, but i cant think about that right now, i need to do what i want to do..

Instead of wondering what will happen in the future,I'd rather do something to make what I want happen.Its no use wondering,though I do wonder sometimes. Things will be better.Good luck.

hey there sister, don't let these disappointments( which obviously seems to be an understatement) get in the way of what you were created for,that is to achieve your destiny. There will certainly be a heck load of "distractions" to get you sidetracked. Wondering or pondering over the past or making hasty decisions is definitely a "NO-NO". I personally believe in the "live for the now" principle. You have a fresh start every morning, so cherish every moment of it. We are like flowers that will be blown away as and when the creator wishes to. I believe we at some point in time have had the 'cross roads' experience. See Our mind has been programmed to overcome such hindrances, but sometimes let "disappointments" overpower us. It's quite taxing to figure out our tangled life and also to implement the affirmations that one gathers over time. We were equipped with all the tools to command LIFE and conquer failure(s). So why underestimate oneself and blow it(the problem) out of proportion. I will love to pray for you to make the right choices in life and relationships.

Though i don't want to intrude in your personal matter i advise you to look into your divorce matter once more where you could talk it out with your husband and get things softened. If however things are not at all going the way they are then i believe you should take up a divorce. Maybe you have not yet found as to what they say "The One" in your life yet. Life's a mystery and no one has a clue as to how it can change anyone at any time. And i think you must stop wondering for a while and start planning your future for yourself. All the best!

Hope my life can be a testimony that there is a God whom who wants to be a father to all of us. I've learned that you'll find the right decisions and right path to take when you seek God in every decisions that you make. Our wisdom and strength alone is not enough to sustain our daily battle in life, we cannot go to the right road if we just depend on our own sight. The only being who have the power to reveal to your destiny is the one who create you. One book said, no one can explain better how to use the computer but the one who invent it. Though we prayer, but the best way to discern God's instructions and commands everyday of our lives is through his words. Don't a lot of people laugh but it, but I find them weird because they usually say they believe in God but they find it hard to believe in HIs words. I suggest take time to pray and let yourself act according to your faith in God. Doing these things is not religious, but restoring our should be relationship with our father in heaven. God specialty is to restore people, know your creator and you will know who you are. God's children are not born to wonder but to be victorious, conquer your situation, you are bound to do great things. You can do it! Go Xasasa! Proverbs 21:1 The Lord controls rulers, just as he determines the course of rivers. We may think we are doing the right thing, but the Lord always knows what is in your hearts.

Maybe i am a optimistic person. I think every thing will be solved in the end,so i dont always wonder.What i will do is to do my best when i meet some problems.

I was in the same bat as you a few months agoand i was like that for a good few years. Now knowng what I wanted, had to, or should do I found it difficult to move on or do anything else. Then I went away for a holiday, got away from my situation for a good few weeks, and came across new things, it made me see things from a new perspective and in turn it triggered me off into a different direction and helped me realise what i wanted to do. I am sure that you will find your answer soon, you could go out more just for a walk even, see new things, new sight, just to nreak out from the old habits and daily routine, in time, it will help you see things more clearly and differently, and hopefully things will start rolling for you and the answer will come looking for you... :)
