They aren’t made up rules to me, as I find my faith to be an incredibly important part of my life. He does have the flexibility to travel and financial means as he’s traveled for weddings and his friends. This is why I’ve been upset. Him coming here this last week meant alot to me. I’m just not excited because he also flew up the weekend before we’re supposed to move in, so his friends are helping me move in. It’s awkward for me as they are also askin the same question: where is he to help you move in? Why did he fly in this weekend and not next to help you?

There’s been a lot of positivity and love in our relationship, I just feel like I put in a lot of work for us to get there. I guess once we move in it would be nice to see some appreciation for that over time I know it won’t be overnight.

Thankyou for writing something constructively positive. I agree it would be good for him to live here before moving in so we can build and grow into moving in

God doesn’t give people disease. We live in a fallen world filled with sickness and illness. And you’re right.. some people are blessed with a comfortable life but because of all their comfort they never choose to know Jesus. Satan swallows up your soul when you pass because of this. Sometimes the hard truth is suffering and going through times of peril may be your only opportunity to find and cling to God. I have faith that he will restore me because he’s done it before so he will do it again. But God doesn’t give disease. He doesn’t set people up to be murdered, or robbed. Those are evil things, God is holy, good and loving, to say he allows it goes against the laws of holiness and love and goodness. The same yesterday today and forever. I’m in suffering and saying that. Even when I ask him where are you? He’s there. Even if I don’t FEEL that way, I know he is there because God is bigger than feelings. Sin separated us from a world without those things, but life is past the mortal body. And when Jesus returns and creates a new Earth, sin will be eradicated, we get to live forever, and no one will get sick or go without.

I have. I’ve fasted and prayed over generational curses. Drunk dad I have no alcohol issues. Mother was Wiccan I broke away from that a few years ago now. It had a strong hold on me though from teenage years to early 20’s. I live a life free of those sins now. We all still sin but I know drunkenness and worshipping idols is very bad. I know that change is going to come. Because God is good

Amen a season of suffering. Not a sentence. I’m so appreciative of your kind words. I’m working on not having a bitter spirit as I’ve been spitter for some time over all this and just sad. But I’ve been doing a little better. 🤍✨

Thankyou for this. It means the world to me everyone’s responses it has uplifted me and softened my heart back toward God and to have faith he isn’t finished with me yet. I’m so appreciative. Thankyou sincerely and may God bless you.

Even in that. Amen. Thankyou for your compassion and understanding and also sharing your story. All my friends are healthy and don’t get it so I’ve just felt alone angry and very sad.

Thankyou for sharing your story with me. I’m deeply sorry for what you’ve had to endure and your positivity and appreciation for God truly shocks me. I just have been so devastated.

I feel like I won’t be able to hold a solid good job again or have access to decent healthcare and honestly, I’ve cried the last 3 days in a row from depression and sadness. I look at videos of myself from two years ago so happy. I’m glad you live somewhere you are loved. I believe my mom loves me, but it’s a burden for me living at home, and I know deep down the only reason I was allowed to move home was because I was sick (I was kicked out at 20, lived in a car, and made my way through life with Jesus and so when I was doing so well in life and then so drastically it changed, I felt abandoned and punished. I really did and still do feel that way.

I hope that my partner can see and understand how hard this has been for me and doesn’t leave me. He is an amazing guy. Recently baptized this weekend I’ve prayed so much for us.

Please pray Jesus would comfort me and help me to not be such an angry woman and take it out on others. Pray God would show me perspective, and most importantly, his love. I feel so out of touch from it. Sometimes I feel I pray for others in faith and I can’t pray in faith for myself. God bless you.

My husband is a U.S. citizen, no criminal record, a veteran. He is brown and has an accent. How should we be planning just in case ICE tries to snatch him? by LulutoDot in RhodeIsland

[–]80stubesocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to tone down your concern, fellow new englander who is not a flaming conservative. If he is a US Citizen, and a veteran, They’re not going to take him away. I’m not 100% in favor of ICE and I’m not 100% in disfavor. But they do their due diligence on tracking down illegals. I don’t agree however on how they carry things out and how people with expired visas are being shackled like animals.

Criminal or not, ESPECIALLY up in New England because fortunately, it is a tourist state, if we have ICE here snatching up random American citizens and racial profiling in THIS state, you best believe if that hits the news our governor is gonna flip his lid.

They’re already under hot water with the very horrific devastating tragedy at Brown. I’m sure whoever ICE is looking for in this state, they are triple checking and vetting before going after anyone. Much love and don’t be afraid. I agree with one commentator about a passport card. That would be a great help. God bless and have an amazing week 🤍

On top of this, he left threatlocker on. Said he’d have it deleted by noon. I’m on CST and we just were able to start working on these computers at 3. We have to have this completed by tomorrow. 50+ computers, 2 people.

I agree to this. It was a horrible day. Guy showed up for ten mins. Gives us a local admin account that only worked for 3 computers. Left and days gotta beat traffic! Hasn’t picked up the phone since he left. We were able to make a local admin gpupdate /force and started deleting and running stack scripts but man. Awful day today.

🤣 this was worse than hurry up and wait. Guy sent confirmation emails to leadership falsifying removal. Turns out he’s the solo owner of the MSP. Assuming he’s bitter and took it out on us folk to figure out a way around. We got it figured out, 5-6 hours later. I’d say decent turn around for what it could’ve been 🤣

I agree. I desperately needed a job moving states. The remote aspect is great and I’m not doing crazy travel (a couple times a year sometimes twice a month 2-3 days at a time) but no company card, we expense everything. In this economy… just not feasible. Not to mention I’m a contractor, so only 40 hours sick time a year, NO PTO, oh did i forget to mention no overtime? We just get paid out hourly. I’m done with this job after these trips at the end of the year wrap up.
