Depression Rears it's Ugly Head

Who knows where it comes from? Why it decides to rear it's ugly head at the most odd times? When all seems to be going well and then all of sudden, something clicks in your head and you start downhill. I guess that's what happened to me this last week. I thought I was heading towards such a positive direction, my house seemed to be finding some order, it seemed as though my husband finally understood that if he was more respectful and kind to me, that I would be more willing to submit to him and what he wanted, and my children had been so well behaved over the past month or so. And then something happened, satan found his way into my home and decided to run everything over, and in one flying swoop, my house was a wreck, my husband is being a jerk to me, and my kids are going wild. I came to the realization that we would not be able to buy a home this year if ever with what my husband's making and the price of homes in our area on the rise, we just can't afford it. That means at least another year in a home that all in all is not bad, but the heat and air don't work very well, so in the winter it's freezing and in the summer, unless you're standing directly in front of the window a/c your sweating. Also on my mind is my going to college, the class I'm taking right now has gotten so hard for me that I hardly even try anymore. It's an algebra class, and then I'm supposed to start biology in a few weeks. I don't know what to do about it, because I know my husband won't be too happy with me quitting and I can already hear the talking behind my back about the whole thing from my family and his. The only thing I can figure is that maybe no one will think it that bad if I at least get my associate's degree. So many things weighing heavy on my heart right now, and I've been suffering from migraines the past week doesn't help either. It's so hard when you don't know which direction your going. I try so hard to listen to what the Lord is telling me, but I think my hearing needs to be checked, because right now I'm more confused than ever. Thanks for listening to my whining. Sometimes it's just nice to get it all out and find a fresh perspective on the whole deal. I know things will get better, that my home, husband and kids will return to the way they should, that we'll eventually find a good home that we can afford, and that all my other confusions will work themselves out...all with God's help. It would be wonderful to hear any of your thoughts on the whole ordeal and as always prayers are much appreciated. Hugs to you all! Be blessed!

Life's not always easy

Sometimes it can be hard to find a clear path. All I can say is cling to Proverbs chap 3 verse 5 - 6, 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight'.
I was having a really tough time when my hours were increased at work. Even though my mum wasn't aware of this she sent me a card with this verse on it, I have clung to it every day since.
In two weeks I'll be finished my first aid course, hopefully after Easter I'll go back to 9am to 1.30pm at work, the Campaigners group I assist in will end until the Autumn and Saturday sports are finished also until the Autumn.I try to split everything so I can see when the end comes, in some cases I count the days.
Only you can weigh up the length of time verses what the benefits will be. A difficult task I know
Thinking of you,
Liz
