Just for a smile...
Been working on fairy tooth pillows today. A woman out of state wanted me to make some for her grandchildren. I've been thinking about you while sewing these. She sent the one on the right and I designed the one on the left.
Tooth pain is soooooo not fun.
Hope you get to feeling better.

Yes,in my heart I did give it to him..I never expected him to pay me back & never asked for him to. Just like I highly doubt I will "ask" him for it back now.
I will share with him what's been going on in my life,and where I'm at now. I'm not going to guilt him into anything. I think I will do also what abbie mentioned..just pray..thank God for helping in this,and if he moves upon this dudes heart to give me a loan or give me money outright,then so be it.
God got me out of Maine. Maybe not how I wanted to leave initially,but He did make a way for me to go & leave that place behind.
The guy I'm staying with said something silly & a bit disturbing..which of course he's not saved,so it wasn't shocking that he said this but he goes:"Dude,it's too bad yer' not a hot chick,all you'd have to do is bat yer' eyelashes & you'd have guys coming out of the woodwork offering to help you or give you money"
I said to him.."Well thank goodness I'm not a hot chick,because that would be really horrible to think that the only reason someone wanted to help me was because they liked how I physically looked or that they thought maybe they would gain something from helping me"
He just looked at me kinda crazy for a second...and then goes,"Oh,right...'cause that's not a Christian thing to be like that huh?" lol
I laughed & said..."Well,no..there's more to it than that,but ummm..I'm sure that happens among Christians too,sadly enough"
Does anyone else find it hard to explain certain thing's to people who are unsaved? Sometimes they just don't get it...sometimes it really does seem like we are not of this world. (yes yes..I know that now we are born of the Spirit through Christ's blood,I'm just sayin') Sometime's I just can't be bothered to explain myself. lol

This.
Got a whole new respect for you MissCris. This was something you had to agonize over for a long kong time. You didn't - couldn't talk about it - you couldn't ask your little CC friends what they thought - advice - reassurance. None of that was at your disposal (even tho it probably could have been). You had to think for your kids.
I got no idea the road you're on or ehat drove you to this. I'm typing on my phone in the cold. I will pray for my new hero is what I guess I want to tell you.

Yup, I roll my eyes, count to ten and whisper..."abbie, pick your battles."
Can I also say it's sometimes hard to explain to those professing to be "christ-like." Between the two, I find the second group to be the hardest. With the first group you can contribute it to their lacking of knowing. With the second group you are left wondering, "well, why don't they "get" it???"
Just thinking "out loud" here I do believe that's why I got Gracie. She just looks at me and meows occasionally. It works for the both us. LOL She's a good sounding board and has a greaaaaaaaaattttt listening ear. LOL

I really appreciate the prayers from y'all...it means a lot to me that many of you responded that way, especially when I was so afraid (and expecting) to lose friends.
This is scary. For now, staying with my sister, she and her husband are feeding me and my kids. My sister even paid for a cell phone for me. My mom is also helping, and my best friend as much as she possibly can. Honestly, I'm surprised by the amount of support I've got...and it gets me all girly and weepy when I think about it. But still, a scary place to be. Even though I know I'll be able to put a roof over my babies' heads, and I can get the assistance I need to feed them...
Sometimes I get overwhelmed at how difficult the next few years are going to be. I have to remind myself to worry about the immediate future more- because that alone is more than enough.
I don't feel strong. I don't feel proud of myself.
But I also don't feel like I can't do this, and I don't feel the same overwhelming stress I felt before.

Any "friends" you lose during difficult times were never your friends to begin with, love. We're more than your friends. In Christ we are forever family.
1 COR 12: 25so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

I don't think that was rambling or pathetic at all. You made me respect you even more now knowing how much you need the money, yet, you don't wanna call your friend n' ask him to pay you back.
I would call him to say hello, how are you doing? n' chit chat here and there and see where the conversation will take you both. It's not like you will pick up the phone n' say hi, listen, I need money, so please pay me back my $1K, no.
Now, watch this n' you will know EXACTLY what I mean You will ALL LOVE this clip!
