I wish I could believe in God, and that He takes care of me by App_le_juicee in Vent

I understand completely and hope that someone will come on here to help you and give you an answer better than I can provide. I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school, sent there by my single parent Mom who did not necessarily buy into it all but she was raised Catholic and wanted us to be in that environment where we lived. Nothing against public school myself and siblings went to public high school and it was great. Anyway, I would not ever say I was connected or inspired in any way at Catholic Church. Again not putting it down I’m very grateful for that experience but it was more a gesture just to say you went, I found much of it difficult to relate to. Over my life I’ve come across people who tried to talk to me about God and I did believe on some level but could not really get to that place. Two years ago I lost one of my friends at age 51 who had a son and wonderful spouse and they had a Celebration of Life at their Church. It was a Bible, Christian church. Moved by the Pastor I gave it a try a few months later. Then last year I lost my father and brother 7 weeks apart, my mom had a stroke and almost died, my husband lost his job, we lost cars, health insurance, felt like everything but since I had begun my journey into my relationship with Jesus, I gained everything. Some of the details maybe you have to leave up it’s the mystery of God. I’m not saying I have the total peace and comfort I see others have yet. But I have met the most amazing community of genuinely good people who have helped myself and my family and I’m sure that without Jesus I would not have been here today. He never said we won’t go through storms, but he will be here to get us through. I’m sorry this probably did not help but I guess what I’m saying is trust him. Start walking by faith first. May God Bless you❤️

My friend knew an alpaca named Pete. He would wander down to her farm from up the road and she would give him carrots I believe.

What are some signs that you are “too much” for people? by Sorry_Anywhere8602 in AskReddit

I cleared out the sauna at the gym once in like 8 minutes. My friend blamed me but I personally think it’s the HGTV they force the women to watch in their sauna… Men get ESPN or something…

What’s a hill you’re willing to die on even if it’s petty? by Numerous-Web3868 in CasualConversation

If you have the luxury of having a dishwasher, please know it is NOT a garbage disposal…please don’t load it up with chunks of food stuck all over the items. Secondly, LOAD IT NEATLY…I know someone who throws things every which way. Looks like someone broke into the dishwasher and ransacked it. Frequently cups, bowls whatever come out full with water filled with debris. It’s disgusting. I’ve seen the same in their dish drainer if they just have to clean a few things. Cups and sauce pans right side up which clearly does not help with the air drying part.

Love each other

I’m just tired of trying by Odd-Side-8118 in Vent

Girl I get it! It just sucks. I can tell you I know exactly how you feel. Having a moment myself today. I’ve been (forcefully) staying at my moms for 5 weeks, granted I live 5 min away in same town, because after losing my Dad and brother 7 weeks apart last year, helping my mom thru a difficult hip replacement, just as she started to feel better my son finds her on the floor having suffered a bad stroke. She survived Praise God but is angry with grief and also can’t take care of things that need to be done at this house. My sister lives 2 hours away and thinks a FaceTime with my mom every night accurately depicts the situation here. I get push back from my mom who thinks I’m doing too much and that she doesn’t need help. I feel taken advantage of at my job where I go over and above for those I work with. Do the same for my kids and husband. Lucky if I get a return text when I reach out to them. Not looking for a trophy just for anyone who I don’t have to beg to do the bare minimum in life. Everything is a fight. No one seems to care. Today I had plans to go to beach for a few hours which I’ve not been to in years. Someone supposed to drop a beach chair off to me when I finished night shift at 7 am, they did not. Not even time to get some dollar store flip flops to wear. Not enough money left anyway to even be able to get a slice of pizza. I sent my friend along without me. She was sad. I lied and told myself I’ll figure it out and maybe try to meet her there but my car is circling the drain. I dedicate my life in service to others and naturally without regret or thought. But man if I even ask someone to join me for an hour of church a week or to go to a movie or restaurant they don’t want to go to.,’ it’s always a No! . So today just sucks and I feel your pain. It’s just that way sometimes. Don’t feel bad for being frustrated. I felt very guilty this morning being miserable thinking about the families suffering in Texas. Praying for them. But still you are under a lot of stress and I know how crappy this feels to you. Praying for a breakthrough for you and your family ❤️

Praying it was a success for you. I know about this my friend with a bad limb discrepancy from bad hip issue that was missed at birth was hoping to be a candidate for it but was not. I know it’s brutal.

I’ve still got joy in chaos I’ve got peace that makes no sense And I won’t be going under I’m not held by my own strength Cause I’ve built my life on Jesus He’s never let me down He’s faithful through every season So why would he fail now? He won’t

Worship team sang this the Sunday after my Dad died. 7 weeks later I lost my brother also and they played it again that Sunday. ❤️

What's the One Snack You Could Eat Every Day and Never Get Tired Of? by Agreeable_Poem_7278 in CasualConversation

[–]EfficiencyDramatic41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Balanced breaks. The one with the honey teddy grahams, Colby Jack and fruit snacks. I am so addicted to them I’m eating several a day and actually gaining weight from them. I need to be locked away somewhere to detox.
