Subject: Hugs to you Lynece,
In reply to: lynece 's message, "I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I'm in such a funk" on 11:17:41 01/25/04 Sun

Lynece,

There are a ton of pressures that come with debt and all of the stresses just aren't worth it.

When my daughter Kennedy was born 7 1/2 years ago, (my husband then (jerk) we will call him told me after I had had her that I was going back to work. Even though we had planned for me to stay at home. I but up a big fit and decided that I would file for bankruptcy, leaving me debt free and my fin. obligations off of him. Long of the short I left him when Kennedy was 2 years old. But I have no debt, and refuse to get a single card, I have the visa check card and that is all I need. I have no stress over the money, if I don't have the money "cash" it isn't bought. I feel like my life is a lot less stressfull due to not having the financial obligations that I use to.
I sure hope you find the same comfort that I did and do still today.

As far as being in a funk, well, I feel as if I am in a deep one right now. I wish I could help but feel I have very little to offer. Hugs to you and I will be praying for you, that you will have extra comfort on these hard days.

Lv, ya hang in there, this too shall pass.

[> (((HUGS))) Lynece! You have a lot on your shoulders right now! -- Jenifer, 19:34:38 01/25/04 Sun

I'm sorry your so overwhelmed. I have been feeling that way for a long time. I started reading a book called "Glimpses of Eternity" It's all about near death experiences, a lot of them from members of the Church. One of the running themes in these stories was the peace they felt, and the freedom from the cares of the world. It has helped me put into perspective some of the challenges in my life.

We are currently in dire finacial straits. DH has been out of work for four months now. He was fired for not being willing to work overtime without pay, not just overtime pay, pay period. We have had to see state and Church assistance to make some of our bills and put off the rest. There are no jobs available. We just moved down here in July BECAUSE of this job and the opportunity to rent my parents house, a huge 6 bedroom house, which is falling apart, but it's $300 less than what we were paying in our apartment.

We are still struggling, but I'm trying to not hold on so tightly to the stress of it all. We are worthy temple recommend holders, we are striving to living the gospel. This is a test in our lives and we do have some areas we need to improve in to claim more blessings, but I know the Lord won't let us live out on the street, or my children go hungry. This Christmas was a testament to that. I had just about made myself sick over not having anything to give my kids, but help came out of the wood work.

I am praying you can find the strength you need make it through the next few days. I also pray your finances will get better. You sound busy, but could you find some time to go to the temple? That might help. I always feel peaceful there.

God Bless.

[> [> going to the temple would be nice -- lynece,, 22:36:15 01/25/04 Sun

but I don't see it happening for antoher 2 weeks at least. It will be that long before Jon and I have a day off together and I do not go to the temple alone. Plus I have such little time with my kids right now, I'm NOT going to turn around and leave them once I get home. I'm off track for 3 weeks in march and DH has vacation then so hopefully we'll get a trip in then.

(((Hugs))), you do seems in a funk. I'm praying the Lord will help lighten your load, or make your shoulders broader so you can handle it all. I think I'd have cracked by now. You are an amazing woman Lynece!
