A person is not hurt so much by what happens - as by his opinion of what happens.
Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)
Today is not a real positive day. My aunt told me I had to find a new place to live. I am already struggling and I don't know what I am going to do. I feel so defeated.I was thinking of doing a repeat of Tim's previous post "I am totallly f***ed" Instead I will keep it positive and try to point out that I have a few months and I have a job and support of my family. I have ability and I am drug free and I am growing stronger with each test that I survive.
God grant me some serenity today.
Love,
Jane
Hi Jane,
Sorry to hear you're feeling low today. I wasn't aware you lived with your Aunt. You have children too right? Forgive me but are they there with you too? Hopefully she has given you enough time to search around for a decent place. I'm not aware of all your circumstances and financial considerations and I know rents can be hard to swing on one income. Is there any decent public housing in your area? There is Federal program called Section 8 that you might qualify for. If you do you can apply and receive a voucher that helps pay for rent. I've seen where it pays almost ALL of the rent. Unfortunately there is usually a wait list. But hey, the sooner you apply? It must be a little scary huh? How long have you lived with your Aunt? Was this a total surprise that she asked you to move? Deep breaths Jane. What part of the country do you live in? I wish I could be more helpful. I hate the thought of moving, but hey it will be YOURS Jane ya know? Hang in there girlie girl....
Hugs,
Jan

Jane,what a testiment to your strength and courage.im sure youre scared,upset.thats only natural.But youre choosing the positive sides,youre not being thrown out on the street ,with no clothes on your back.
Granted the situation is one more stressor to deal with,but you sure do find ways to turn things around.I love that about you and to be honest,what choice do we really have? Defeat,self pity,or move on and grow stronger for it?
Thanks for your always inspiring posts,i hope you find a real nice place for yourself,real soon and affordable!~KIM

Hi Jan,
Thanks for your response. I don't live with my aunt I just rent from her. I do have my kids and I have been doing alright. But I graduate next month and I have student loans in addition to the rent now. I live in Utah. I am still reeling in shock I just would have thought she would have let me stay there at least a couple of years. Now her kids need a place (they are young and have no kids) The house is three bedroom. I swing between being irritated and understanding. I guess your own kids come first. Tell me more about the section 8. I have a few months but it will go by so fast. I just loved living there. I guess God is giving me shove but its sure hard to swallow. I needed someone to listen to me today and hopefully start living in the solution. I am empty.

It's there for you Jane...Keep your focus on the positives, have faith that everything will work itself out in God's time and trust....with faith & trust, peace and serenity will fill your heart....
Pray for God to help find you a new place to live....look at this change as a new beginning for yourself and know deep in your heart that everything will be okay as long as you keep doing the next right thing and do the footwork, God will take care of the results....
Have a great day!

Hi Jane,
I'm sorry to hear about your need to move. I have a couple of extra rooms, lol. Stay strong and keep looking up. Something very good will come your way if you do, I'm sure. Praying for you, friend!
Love, Beck

You guys I'm gonna cry and I know that all the good s*** your saying is true. I thought to myself that when I see people on here post about something just tragic and sad and then somehow some way things work out. I have faith in my higher power. I just have lost faith in life right now. I will keep praying thank you for your thoughts. I checked out the section 8 I make a little too much (just not enough). Thank you for recognizing how upset I am. It just comes and goes in waves. I know God is holding me right now. I've got to let it go and let him run it.
Love,
Jane
