Why am I alone 1 day ago

here in the wilderness without my family, someone who loves me or a job that will cover my basic needs?

I am soooo depressed!

I am having a really, really bad day 1 day ago

Funny thing is I’m looking better than I have in a long time…stress helps me lose weight. ;)

But in the meantime I am trying to discover why I can’t catch a financial break. My Plan B isn’t working so I guess it’s off to another Plan…

What should I do???

I have recently lost my 1 day ago

full time position here in the wilderness. When I sent my rent for this month I wrote my Landlord a note to explain my situation and thank him for his patience in waiting for the rent payment.

Sunday as I was leaving church he called me on his cell phone. I anticipated the worst and he laughed and said he was calling to wish me an early “Merry Christmas”.

Then he said because of the economy and how hard the winters are here in the wilderness he was giving me a deep discount on my rent for the next 4 months.

I started crying like a baby…all the way home.

Yes. There is God. He works in miraculous ways. :)
