I too understand what it is to be in those pits of despair. I am not now and that is my message of hope to you. Your faith and your previously sunny disposition will help you get through this next phase of your life. Be good to yourself and don't rely on things to always go to plan. Just be ready to accept what life, what God, has planned for you.

I haven't decided what I will believe (unless it was back before I was conscious of any element of choice in the matter). I believe in God because I cannot disbelieve in him, regardless of all the objections — some very powerful — some people raise. I believe in Jesus because I cannot believe that he is other than the Redeemer. I'm a Catholic because I believe that this Church is the one Jesus spoke of establishing. I don't believe any of this because I've decided to believe it. I just believe it, and I think this is the gift, the grace, of faith; and in saying I believe it, I'm just being honest with myself.<br /><br />God bless you as you continue along your path, which, like most people's, is unforeseeable.naturgesetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268507379933286863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047900042385397529.post-85889296084013663022014-03-06T16:38:29.531-08:002014-03-06T16:38:29.531-08:00Thanks for the update, BB.

It drives me crazy that companies expect you to prostate yourself to their every whim for no pay, usually with tasks that bear little resemblance to what you are supposed to be learning, and then cut you loose.<br /><br />I'm thrilled to hear you are improving so much mentally. And embracing your faith is a thing that can only strengthen you. <br /><br />A toast to your wonderful post!<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
