Things seemed to be in a gridlock for multiple years. I felt stuck in an undesirable living location. God told us to wait. It was tough at times. Now things seem to be moving fairly quickly in terms of being able to move, change work, and things are clicking into place.

I remember when my two oldest were under five and we lived in a flat, how I wanted to have a home with a garden. It use to really get me down at times. Then all of a sudden a Chain of events led to the council having to re house us , we go a lovely three bedroom home in a village, it had a massive garden.
I hope things work out okay for you @Wynona xxx

I am so frustrated. Expecting people to at least not disrespect you when you bend over backwards to help them...well I suppose you can expect the opposite.

I have my own stuff to take care of. I can't stand being treated like this.

Maybe this makes me old fashioned but I was expected to show appreciation when others sacrificed time and effort for me regardless of my feelings about anything else in the moment. It's a good skill for people to have. Even kind people have limits.

I had been dealing with spiritual attacks on the heart region. I've gotten better, but I still feel something that still causes me to think about it. I'll need more deliverance prayers to be completely delivered. Don't let the devil have his way. Can I get prayers for every power of evil that is still in my heart region to be casted out? For them to never return again. I need prayer for no evil powers to do things to my heart again, and every work of the devil to be defeated through the power of God. I thank God for me getting better and those who have prayed for me.

I find my days to be better when I relax and find something to watch and take my mind off things. In previous times God showed me stuff I think he wanted me to see. Recently I haven't gotten that. I wish God does the same thing as he did before again.

I am presuming that you helped someone and instead of being grateful they showed something else, it’s not old fashioned to have appreciation showed, it’s a human need sometimes. You know , in the past, when this has happened I remind myself why I did what I did in the first place. What prompted you to help.
Also think about what happened before this, I often found that timing was often spiritual. Could it be that you had experienced positives, and this situation arose. Also think about the best way to handle it, people let us down all the time and we have no control over how they react or respond , but we can make choices with regards to how we handle the negatives on a personal level. There may have been all kinds of reasons why appreciation wasn’t shown, we all have our battles with pride and sometimes that leads to us not saying what we should.
I use to sulk when this kind of thing happened, also would feel sorry for myself, would get so angry inside ( it use to happen at work a lot ) I would eventually remind myself that its God I work for and do things for and who knows who else is seeing that kind act -

We are on a journey, remember God doesn’t always do things the same way for a reason, maybe to trust that he is still working in your life even if you don’t see it in the same way. Perhaps he is doing a new thing …………pray for your eyes and ears to be open to see that ( well that’s what I often pray )
much love as you work through things xx

Thank you. Self pity is a real temptation today too. I have to trust that God sees my efforts and that will be all I get sometimes.

Honestly Wynona many of us learn the hard way, I spent years getting it so wrong and, if I am honest did a lot of harm to myself and relationships. I can’t have those years back, but being older can be a benefit to those who are younger - we can try and show others that their choices in how to handle things can be different. Xx

I completely understand and I'm grateful to God for you for sharing.

It is raining this morning and little cold so I have the heat pump going and will probably start the fire as well. Nice day to read the bible or do some studies or just spend some quality time with the Lord. "Praise Jesus!"

Me and my daughter took her dog NaLa for a walk along the seafront. It was a beautiful warm day, so we sat and got doggie ice cream for NaLa and both of us had a nice cream smoothie.

Flash flood warning in my area. Praying for hubby's safe return and for the water damaged end of our trailer to hold out for one more week. We can move out, then.

Today has been a depressing day. However, did get some of the clothes put away, also put away some dishes, and spoiled the cat with some yummy food, and overall still thankful despite the setbacks going on my side. Got to see my nephew and my mother before the days end. Tomorrow may get to sweeping and mopping the floors. Got about 25 more days of vacation time until finding a new job.
