An update on Joshua (weatherlover427)...

#1 Postby weatherlover427 » Sat Nov 19, 2005 2:25 pm

Lately I have not been posting much on here (there are reasons for that); but I wanted to give you an update on what's been happening lately with me and why I've been absent as much as I have been.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

First off, I had a job at Target from 4/9 to 7/12 of this year. That one went to the toilet for lack of better terminology. :P I had been doing well there for a while but some of my superiors there at the store were getting on my nerves by doing such things as giving me hours on the schedule that made it very hard for me to get home at night. Another thing is some of the higher-ups were talking mean things about me behind my back. I heard them too, so it's like if you have to say them to someone else to where I can physically hear them, why can't you just say them to my face? :roll: I left there on 7/12 and I have not been back since except to pick up my final paycheck.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Second, I've been going through some changes in my life that have been hard on me. For one, I have accepted God back into my life but I had a hard time with that decision. One of the main reasons for that is I didn't trust him after some of the recent events in my life, such as my dad passing away, me getting into debt, etc. But I did it and my life has slowly been getting better.

Also, as I just alluded to; I got into some nasty debt at the beginning of the year. I stupidly signed up for 2 credit cards and maxed them both out within a week. :cry: Still working on paying both of them off at this time. Plus, my BofA bank account is now in the hole, so I have to work on that in addition to the credit cards. :(

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

I have periodontitis (gum problems). I need prayers for this as my gums are very irritated and swollen and it is hard for me to do such things as eat and brush my teeth. Thanks! :)

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

The times ahead will be exciting for me and my family. I have 2 pregnant aunts, one who is due about a week and a half before Christmas and one who is due in May sometime (not sure excatly when). So I have those 2 events to look forward to. We as a family are going out to a nice Thanksgiving dinner on the day, at a local restaurant that is the same one we have been to the past 2 years.

Today I get two of my Christmas presents, since my mom won't be able to wrap them up. They are a chair and mat to roll it on for my computer. :) I might talk her into getting me a hard drive too if I am lucky. :D We'll see on that one though.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

I have gained about 10lbs recently (4.5kg). This is mainly due to the depression from earlier events in the year, some of which are mentioned above. Please pray for me that I can lose this extra baggage ASAP! :)

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

That is all that I can think of for now. Comments welcome!

My husbands dad passed away two years ago......I can understand the grief you have been going through.......even though i cant......my dad is still here......but please try to stay strong and be positive about life......maybe having God back in your life is helping.....i hope so........my husband has turned to alot more drinking beers since his dad passed and it has effected our marriage alot...........but everyday is a new day....and i hope as time moves on the better things will be.......and i hope that for you too.......

about the weight issues...........so what... :roll: most of us are overweight......all it takes is some good excersice and a will power (which i dont have half the time) to do it LOL!!! :lol:

Stay strong!!!! :D Oh and stay the heck away from credit cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Josh...You are in my prayers! There is a God and he will look after you.

Don't worry about those jerks at that Target. It is said that when people say bad things about someone, it just shows that they are quite insecure about their own self. So stay strong and chalk it up to life experience.

Thinking of ya.
