Okay so I think I mentioned that I was going to write the letters to those I need answers from and either asking for them to apologize or seeking forgiveness. Right now I have just started writing down questions and I am not really addressing it to a particular person, just kind of getting my thoughts down. Some of it is not worth a whole letter and those are the things that I will address directly with the person or the people involved. However, there are a few things that might need a letter of three or four pages, but that's okay.
There is still the issue of whether or not I will send the letters to the people or person, or just hold them, and leave directions for my daughter or husband when I'm dead and gone. I don't know how this is going to work exactly or if it will even help. I have discovered though that it is not so much in the front of my brain any longer. I'm not sure if that is because I'm occupied with school, work and the house, or if I'm making progress. Whichever it is, God is the one in control.
One of my devotionals this week was titled, "Truth Is Important". The bible verse that it used was Proverbs 12:22. "Lying lips are abomination to the LORD; but they that deal fairly are His delight.
The title struck me and it made me think about what I say and how I say it. There have been some times that people or a person has done or said something, and then asked if that was okay or say things like I hope I didn't hurt your feelings. I have always just said that's okay and brushed it off. However a couple of times, it wasn't okay. The particular instance made me feel unimportant, and not cared for, and at the same time made me angry.
I know that we are not suppose to do this amends or make amends if it is going to hurt the other person. So I'm trying to keep that in mind, but isn't it hurting me by not addressing it?
God Bless You All,
Love,

Don't Be Afraid to Ask For Help
The economy stinks right now and because of the business that my husband is in there are times when he goes for weeks without work because of the weather, and just because it slows down at this time of year. I work part-time at the church and freelance/ghost write but can't make more than a $100.00 a week so far and that doesn't happen very often.
There have been times when I didn't know how we were going to pay rent, or utilities or buy groceries because of our money situation. I've never really had to worry until this past couple of years, because I was always in Corporate America and made good money.
Well because of the economy, weather and just life, I have had to look for resources for help. Food stamps is a place to go for help if you need it, but there are sometimes other options. There are many community outreach centers that offer things like a food bank, or maybe even a church that helps with utilities. Never think there isn't some way to get help. Just don't wait until your are about to get your lights disconnected. My family has stepped in many times over the last year and we couldn't have made it without them.
Although some churches don't offer this kind of assistance, the United Methodist Church here in town, helps with your utilities. Thank You God for giving me the courage to call them. There are other places in town that help as well. One is called the Good Samaritan. They have a food bank, and a store where you can buy clothes for very cheap. I bought a really cute, long blue jean skirt to wear. But there even have suits for men and women so if you have a job interview, go for it.
The Texas Department of Health and Human Services does offer assistance, but more so if you have a family or children. Look around you area and see what kind of assistance is available if you need it. Start with your church and see what they can recommend. I really think all churches should help some way especially for their members, but I guess I understand if they don't.
May God Bless You in All You do.
