- We have been talking for almost 2 months now. First message Sept 3. (that sounds pretty serious, huh?) ;) Anyway, against words of caution and other advice, I have continued to talk to him daily. He lost his wife in June and I lost my husband in...
- This morning in scripture, found this verse. 1 Corinthians 15: 20-23. 20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also...
- Still talking to him. Almost a month now. Do you people feel any better? Nothing horrible has happened to me. He hasn't asked for money. He hasn't asked for anything, just laughed at my sick jokes and told me how much he enjoys our conversations....
- People told me love would come and it wouldn't look like what I had planned. God has a plan and he knows best. Well, I'm almost 6 months out and I've made a friend who lives in another country. A widower who lost his wife 3 months ago. I don't want...
- And still no boyfriend! See how my counting has changed? Lol! I keep telling myself that I'm ready to date, but they don't come beating down my door! What gives? Just kidding! I'm actually very proud of myself. 6 months... Hmmmm. The loneliness has...
- The last 3 mornings I have woken up feeling incredibly guilty. There is no reason, just feeling. The Griefshare emails I receive these days have been about dating and remarriage. So, I'm thinking maybe deep down I have a desire to find someone else...
- I know He has carried me. Through the shadow of the valley of death.I know He has carried me.Through the fear and confusion and anguish.I know He has carried me.When friends were not there. I know He has carried me.Through a 24 yr relationship and...
- Yesterday, I was really struggling with confidence and self esteem. A friend of mine went to a Christian conference and sent me this prayer. If you are not Christian, ignore. If you are Christian, read it out loud.I nail my low self confidence to...
- Today, there was a really hot guy in the produce section of the grocery store. I mean, really hot. So, shopping will no longer be a chore. I will be very happy to cook and eat healthier. I am excited to bring more fruits and vegetables into my home...
- I've been using this word a lot lately. Shocking, I know. But, I really do feel joy. So, I thought I would start a thread and ask people to add what it means to me. For me, joy is my outlook. It's how I affect everything I come in contact with. It's...
- It's been 5 months. Back at work and full swing as a teacher. 3 years ago, I started applying for promotions. Didn't get the support of my administration. I kept trying, even last year. After my husband died, I told my administrator that I would...
- I wished I had died with him. I wished I had died first. I wished God would end my suffering. One moment, I woke up, just like any other day and I noticed my 14 year old daughter and my 20 & 21 yr old sons. I noticed my friends and my church family....
- 5 months. Bad habits are bad habits.. I'm trying so hard to take care of myself and my daughter. I've discovered that I'm really hard on myself. So much used to get done and so much life occurred in this house, when there were 5 people living here....
- It's been such a crazy process. I can't say that I like it at all.... I can't say if it will ever end. I'd like to believe that I'm a same person, but this up and down and back forth emotional tug of war is kind of leading me to believe that my...
- Gonna go for it. My best friend has encouraged and encouraged.... She thinks it will be good for me to get out and date. I'm going to trust her in this bc I couldn't ask for a better best friend. She is as loyal to me as my husband was. She would...
