Surprising good news YAY

Posted on 10/10/09, 03:50 am

I have finally had something nice happen & totally unexpected too.
I havent been to church for probably a year & stopped going to home group when a friend who used to take me moved o/seas & I dont drive at night.
Last night I got home after a horror day at work & problems with trembles etc & bladder.
I opened up my emails & was astounded.
I had an email from a friend at Church who is helping organise a ladies camp in 2 weeks time saying that someone had paid for me & another lady who is a good friend of mine to go to the camp & the friend to drive me.
WOW that blew me away as it is a lot of money & more so that someone had done something so nice for both of us.
I am going to the 2 night retreat/camp & looking forward to it.
After all the crap I have been putting up with & struggling this is a wonderful blessing. Just had to share it.

  Well that didnt happen. I ended up in hospital the Monday before for Bowel problems for a few days. Without even asking me we got an email saying that I was no longer going to camp. They didnt even ask me what was wrong or if I felt up to going. I wont print what my response was but my hubby sent an email very strongly worded about how disapointed I was at the decision being made for me without even finding out what was wrong etc.
  It had been something I was aiming at even while in hospital so I was very disapointed.
  Seems be typical, offer something nice & then pull the rug again. No wonder people doubt the sincerity of a lot of the churches & the people there. We get no assistance from them, only from a few people that I have made friends with but that is only if I phone them & ask/beg. I am in no hurry to go to Church now even if I could as cant drive as smashed the car so it has to go in for repairs (more details in my journal). I have no way to get there now as too far to go by scooter & none of the friends I have made live near me.
  Thats life, I need the sleep in & relax anyway.

  I am so happy for you. There are many good people in the world, and when we need help most they seem to show up. Have a nice time at the retreat. You deserve it.

  I have now got to the point that I am not answering emails from some of the people from Church as they say one thing & do another. I am so sick of them helping some people & not others. They are constantly helping people outside the church & a couple of families who have had cancer to one of them but all I got was 1 card & a couple of phone calls from ladies that I consider friends & always will be even if I dont go to Chruch.
  Today I had to go to the hospital to have an eeg (keep blacking out), didnt bother phoning around for a lift but went on scooter & trian which is all very well except it got very hot (30'c) & I got a flat tyre! Managed to get help from road service & got home.
  Just one more hassle & expense. Still got to get car repaired from my accident too.
  I am very fed up at present.
