Ups, Downs and the in betweens

So, here is what has happened since January

1. I got a new phone , used it for 3 weeks and had it get stolen. So, now I am back to using my crappy old phone.
2. I bought a new car, drove it for 4,000 miles , got into a car accident and it is in the shop now to be fixed.
3. I got a new job which I started in January and then I got laid off from it along with 25 other people the day after I had gotten into a car accident.
4. I spent two months in the snow looking for an apartment, found one starting March and now I have to move out of it as I don’t have a job there anymore.

I guess that is why I haven’t been writing in here. It is one sob story after another. I know that God is teaching me to be stronger from this and putting perspective in my life because of it. I know that all of the things that have happened are nothing compared to so many things that happen to so many people. So, I am trying to count the blessings in my life because it is true what they say- when bad things happen, it makes you appreciate the good. It is just hard not to dwell on this. I keep thinking about it when I know I should move on.

Sorry to hear that things were not so good last couple of months…but remember what does not kill you only makes you stronger… Hope things are getting better for you now…

so good to see your note! Damn..look at how much happened in 6 lines! I know things will get better for you. I think this past year has been the worst year of my life. These things happen i suppose and they suck. But i’ve learned that all you can do is sort of sludge through it and hope for the best. Job hunting is the worst, i totally understand it. I’ve had to move back to GA with my parents

which is basically my personal hell especially since this past year, my relationship with them went to squat. India was a waste of time, i wish i had put my foot down and stayed in MA and found a job. But i was bullied into moving out and going to india for a whole month and being miserable for most of it. It was good to see my bro, but the timing was off. Are you going to look for a job in the

area? or move home? Where is home by the way? I think IL…but i’m not sure. How are things with your boy? I miss reading your entries! —

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. I really hope things get better for you very soon :-). And you are absolutely right, God is making you stronger from inside and keep having faith in Him. Take care friend and keep in touch and thanks for your note.
