  It's the whole process thing that really is beginning to get me down.  I have no idea where I'll be in the next 5 to 10 years, but it seems the things I fear, will eventually enter into my life and I'm scared I won't be able to handle it.

I don't think I'm cut out for this whole God thing and because I haven't had any help when it comes to personal issues, I feel that maybe this is how things has to be.

Hi Godschild,

There were a couple points out of your post I wanted to address, actually the words below (in blue) are not my own but from a Brother who I am in regular contact with, I believe his perspective fits here, at least in regard to what I quoted from your post.

"........I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.[Jer 10:23]

I don't know whether i will be IN the lake of fire, or I will BE the lake fire! I'm not sure what tommorrow will bring, I cant go BACK, i have put my hand to the plow, and while it sounds all happy and good, its pretty darn scary!

WE have to answer for ALOT, WHY?...because WE KNOW ALOT!
There are men today, that lie cheat and steal, and haven't a problem coping with the sin at all....If i do a tiny minuscule thing  not even intentionally...I CANT SLEEP FOR A WEEK!

There are some things i have in my life, i work at them, but once i have given them up, there gone, and if i dare tread one inch towards this sin....I'm a wreck, i cant sleep, i cant eat, i cant function, its friggin unreal! IT'S FIRE...it's pretty nasty.

I said all that to say this, Don't think it a strange thing this fire that tries us, its a wonderful thing, it's amazing, call it what you want, conscience, guilt, or whatever, but i can tell you first hand, it's the most unusual feeling i have EVER HAD!

I wonder how he will cure the rest of me...all i can say is, it's going to get worse, before it gets better."

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Hi Godschild, I have found when I am alone with no one to talk with is moments I can treasure seeking God and his purpose.

Hi God's child,

I have read the responses to your post and frankly I am not trying to give you encouragement because as you have said that's what you are expecting to hear and then you don't really hear it.  So, my first response is stop tryin to figure out what is going to happen 5-10 years from now.  Do a day at a time.  If your live in is not workin for you get out of it.  being a single mom is no picnic, but hundreds out there do it everyday and you are no exception.  for now your only friend is Jesus, and in time he will bring others to you, but for now he is yours and you are his.

yours,
Dautyz
