Tell Sandy to try and post again. It looks like she changed her email and the system locked her out. I fixed it.

Thanks, Craig. That's exactly what happened!
I am humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of love I have felt from you all through the messages, IMs and e-mails. I am so amazingly blessed to have such loving, caring friends. Words can't express what it means to me. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
Someone loaned me the book "48 Days to the Work You Love." It has given me some unorthodox ideas about combining the talents and passions God has given me for other employment. For instance, I was watching the Discovery Health Channel the other night with my mom, and she mentioned that I would make a good nurse. I've always been interested in biology and medical topics, so I'm considering going back to college next semester in the nursing program.
Also, I've always enjoyed writing, and my brother-in-law's mother remarked a few years ago that I should write children's books. Well, my sister and her family just moved to PA, so that inspired me to write a book about being the "new kid" in school from a child's perspective.
I also enjoy singing and can play a variety of instruments. I don't have a clue how to make money on that, other than to move to Nashville or Branson, and that is out of the question right now.
Finally, while searching for something on the Web, I stumbled across a site that would allow me to open an online mall for just $8.95 per month, in association with Amazon.com, who would handle inventory and shipping. All I need to do is choose what to put on my site, then collect the profits.
So perhaps being unemployed is the best thing that ever happened to me. Sometimes God has to give us a swift kick in the butt to get us going in other, better directions.

Hi Sandy,
I was so excited to see your post! I know that God has something absolutely fantastic for you, and one day you will look back on this time of your life and see that it was a pre-ordained growing/learning experience. As often happens, we don't appreciate the storm until we've passed through it. I'm continuing in prayer that He will let you know the right direction to take. All your ideas sound really exciting.
You know, I will be "unemployed" the end of September after deciding to quit a job after 28 years. It was a scary decision but one that I'm at peace with. Your story has helped me to understand that the future isn't going to be a bed of roses, and I'm sure there will be times that I'll be worrying and even regretting this decision. So thank you for showing grace in going through your trials.
God bless you Sandy and I look forward to hearing all sorts of exciting news from you in the future!!!
Much love and jumping up and down with Huge smiles,
Dawn
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hello Sandy
Going "forward" into the Nursing program sounds wonderful. Also that you have your Mom who is no doubt a comfort and support through the difficult time you have come through, will also no doubt assure you of her love and God's kindness to you through her.
A step at a time is always a sure steady course to take one day at a time, not forgetting to smell the roses....day by day our daily bread.
Peace to you
Arcturus :)
