NoJoMo Day 13

I totally forgot to write yesterday….my mind was on vacation, I guess.

I’m not doing too well.  For the past several days I’ve been very weepy, and I don’t know why.  I miss my son, I feel like a loser for losing my job, I’m feeling guilty as hell for something I’m doing, but I don’t know if I want to stop.  I’m struggling to say my prayers at night because how can I pray and thank God for all my blessings and ask Him to forgive me of my sins when I’m doing something I know is wrong? 

I talked to my son earlier today and he told me he’s not sure he even believes in God anymore, which broke my heart.  Where did I go wrong?  He says he has too many questions and that there are too many things he doesn’t agree with when it comes to "religion."  I told him, I don’t buy into organized religion either, but I DO believe very much in God, that his son Jesus died for our sins.  There are things I also don’t understand, but it all boils down to faith….either you have it or you don’t.  I do.  And when Josh was little he used to tell us that Jesus lived in his heart.  Now he says if there IS a God, and if He’s as loving as I say He is, then He’ll forgive Josh for having doubts and not believing.  What the hell do I say to THAT?? 

I managed to shower today….go me.  And in about an hour I’m going to make ham and sweet cornbread and beans for dinner.  I have a shrink appointment tomorrow, which is much needed. 

If any of you are prayers, pray for me please.  I want the tears and the self-loathing to stop.  I want to love my life again.

I hope you’re all having a wonderful day….much love.  xoxo

aww, sweetie… *big hugs* god understands, i am sure. you aren’t the first or last person in history to do something you knew was wrong yet you didn’t know if you could stop, but still ask god for forgiveness. that’s the beauty of it; he forgives you and loves you no matter what! i hope you will find a resolution! the conversation you had with your son about his lack of faithmust have been so hard and painful. you’re right, it does all come down to faith. i will pray for both you and josh! if there is anything at all that i can do for you, please let me know. i so want you to be happy, it’s who you are through and through! i am only an email away. love you!

You are always in my prayers, and now Josh is too. I want you to see yourself as the beautiful, faith-filled woman that I know and love!
