I hope I am not stepping on any toes but I just have to share this experience. It would not be fair to HIM to have posted all of my problems and none of the solution!
I am sure most of you have read my other posts of life altering events in my life the last several months. It sort of all started at the WWR Blitz. I have been alone (inside) most of my life. I learned to like it that way, its safer. I have always accepted unacceptable behavior from people. I hadn't been with a group of people for almost 13 years until the Blitz. I felt so comfortable, warm and loved........I wanted more of it. Something spiritual happened at that ranch that I can't explain. I had been changing for the last 13 years but never really experienced the changes. I know this probably makes no sence at all but I have to continue. Anyway, after returning home from the Blitz, all heck broke loose. I no longer was willing to accept unacceptable behavior and I decided I wanted to really live life............HAPPY!
You see, after I left the ranch, the feeling of love, happiness and freedom from myself stayed with me and I didn't want to let go of the feelings. I was willing to do whatever it took to keep them.......and I did.
So.....a bunch of other stuff happened and I felt the need to be closer to the ranch. I decided to move to Alpine. I looked for a job there and went for an interview on a Thursday, three weeks ago. I left Alpine without an answer. On my way home my cell phone rang. It was a company in Midland that I didn't even know had my resume. They got it off the Texas Workforce website.
Anyway.........skipping forward a bit, I ended up being hired the next day and started my job that Monday. I found out there were not many benefits with this company, only 3 holidays, no vacation. Only medical. That's it. They were only paying what I was making on my last job so I had really lost money. I began to keep open my job hunting. I received another job offer, considerably more money plus many more benefits. I set up an interview and was honest with my current boss about my dissappointment in thier benefits and not being told before hand.
It ended up where the companies were competing for my employment. I followed my gut feeling and am staying where I am at with a very generous offer.
My point here is..........everytime I decided to walk a different road, HE guided me a different direction. Had I not followed HIS footsteps I would have been lost!
Everything has worked out for me so far. Because of HIM, I am fully self sufficient and happy.
HE is God! God has been taking care of me since I was that hurt litte girl hiding in the corner of her room. It has been a long road to where I am today. I can't say it has been easy but God is providing all the love and happiness I never had.
I know I have said this before but this board is spiritual and the people here are angels sent by God. You may not think you are but to me, thats the only way I can explain it. That Blitz was meant to be............I was guided through it and my being there, God provided the biggest growth of my life! Kind of like being shot forward with a slingshot without knowing where you are going to land! LOL
You guys helped and supported me through my difficult times and I can never repay that! I can also never give enough thanks to God for working on me through you people. As long as I choose to follow his footsteps, I know I will continue in the right direction. And when I am to tired or confused, I will let him carry me for awhile.
By the way, I quit believing in God when I was a little girl. I didn't begin to believe again until 13 years ago when I realized I left HIM, HE never left me! I still don't go to church or anything like that cause it still scares me (another thing that happened to me) but I know HE loves me and is there for me no matter what!
Again, this probably doesn't make much sense to anyone but me, but I had to share it. I just love God and I love you people!!

could see things were evolving for you. Some good, (job, friendships) some, maybe not so good (job, friendships!)
