You know... Sometimes you feel like you can only take so much! I'm sorry. This has nothing to do with making or decorating cakes. This just has to do with life. Everytime you think you're doing something good it comes back at you to bite you in the butt. And everytime you try to get ahead in this life you just get set back further than where you were when you started!!!

Please forgive me...
Susan

Oh Susan, I'm so sorry, believe me I understand what you mean. I know what it's like to feel all alone and overwhelmed by life, I felt like things were so bad that it could only get better, but then something else bad happened and I just feel like I couldn't go on. Life can be so hard. When I feel really down I try to think about the good things that I do have, like my 3 children who are all healthy, beautiful, sweet, wonderful kids who love me and make me so happy.

I wish I had the answers and could help , I'm so sorry you're going through a hard timeicon_sad.gif Take care.

Thank you everyone. I'm sorry for the post but I just have no one I can vent to. I have none of my family around me (not that they would care anyway). And I can't talk to my husband or his family (they are more messed up than I am). All I want to be is a nice person. But I feel like I keep getting attacked by satan because I keep getting deeper in to my Christian walk. I try to do everything right but end up doing it wrong.
I'm sorry. I'm just being a big baby. Forget I even posted this.

no, don't forget you posted this at all. This happens to people a lot and they just don't talk about it. I know exactly how you feel---life is great right now in one aspect and I've been getting lobbed baseball to the head in the other. You can always pm me or others here to talk or just post. That's what we are here for--to help pick you up when your feeling down.

Lazy_Susan,
It is very hard to be a Christian, especially nowadays. To me it seems like there is someone on every corner trying to take me away from God when I am desperately trying to do what's right. My advice is to hold steady with your faith in the Lord and he will pull you through. I can't begin to count how many times he has brought me through hard times. If you need to talk anytime then please feel free to p.m. me.

(((BIG HUG))) We all need to vent! It sometimes feels like other people have so easy and noting ever bad happens to them. I always feel like I have struggle all the time. We work through it besides that's what friends are for.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything... Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receice that crown of life that God has promised to thse who love him" James 1: 2-4,12

You are not alone Lazy_Susan! God will bring you through this. If you ever need to share with someone... I know that we do not know eachother... but you can always pm me... I will never be to busy to listen.

Thank you everyone. It's so difficult to explain everything that is wrong with me because it would take so much time. What it all boils down to is that I feel so disconnected from basically the entire world and most importantly my family. I've always felt this way. I don't know why people say they love me because I think I am unloveable. I try not to be selfish but I feel like I am. I love the Lord Jesus Christ but I feel like I am not worthy of Heaven.

Thank you for all your kind words. People have told me that I should speak to a professional. However, when I spoke with a, so called, professional they told me that my parents hated me. I never went back. So please no one tell me that this is what I need to do. I can't take it.

Sister! This is the human condition!!! The fact that you are aware of it and that you KNOW that Jesus died for you is all it takes. It doesn't make the circumstances any easier but HE said that HE would never leave us, nor forsake us! Praise the Lord! There are none of us worthy in the Lord's eyes. It's easy for us to look at each other and think "Oh, they are so faithful and good", but we don't know what is in their heart, only God does.....and HE loves us in spite of ourselves. It's not for us to figure out if we are loveable or worthy, we aren't, but Christ decided that at the cross for us. Thank goodness because I know if it was for me to figure out I would totally mess it up just like everything else I think I know what I'm doing. Don't give up! Keep on keepin on! Know that you'll be in my prayers!!! (((((HUGS)))))

Amen, to what Michelle104 said! None of us our worthy of Christ's love, and yet He gives it to us. It amazes me every day that God loves me NO MATTER WHAT! I always try to remind myself that if I am saying that I am not good enough to make it to heaven, then basically I am saying that God's grace is not sufficient for me. But, God is sooo awesome that nothing can come between us and His love. So, when you are feeling especially attacked by satan, remember that he doesn't want us to experience the joy that Jesus wants for us. It is so important to for us to not listen to the lies of the devil but to remember that, no matter what, God loves us and we can be sheltered in His arms. We aren't worthy, but Christ was worthy and it was HIM and only HIM that made the path for us! We love you sister, and this struggle is not your own!

Just remember that you are never alone. Whether it's God, family, friends, or those of us here on CC.. you are never alone.

I'm a firm believer in 'do good, and good will come to you'. Yes... I've had my share of crappy things in life... things that have really gotten me down into the barrel of hopelessness. But...somehow things always seem to get better. It's always ups and downs.

If things around you stink... maybe try something new. Try meeting some new people....find something that you truly enjoy doing. I started volunteering at an animal shelter a while back because I was really tired of dealing with people (sounds weird, but it's true). I found some really good friends there (not just the furry kind!)

Hang in there....please email me if you ever need someone to talk to!

I feel like I've been to church. I know ya'll were sending these notes to Lazy_Susan but I want you to know you have all touched more people than you probably will ever know. It is so good to know that there are other Sisters in Christ out there. Sometimes we can feel so alone and maybe be afraid that we might say something that will offend some one, but I am so happy to know that there are others here who are not ashamed of the Name of Jesus Christ.
Lazy_Susan please know that I am praying for you as I know many others on this site will be also.

Isn't it amazing to think that the Lord even cares about the friends we make? That He will put people in our paths to encourage us in HIM exactly when we need it? I have been having such a hard time lately ..... just rebelling I guess. I don't know. Maybe everyone goes through it from time to time. All kinds of stuff happening with extended family that just gets you down you know? Sometimes I get so caught up in looking at the circumstances around me that I forget to look up! icon_redface.gificon_cry.gif But I'm so thankful that He never takes His eye off me! Always knows where I am and exactly what I need! Thank you Lord!! And I too am so thankful to see all of the "sisters" on this site!!!
