Hi Jamie. I don't know what your take on a higher power is, but I would say, just put this out there: "God, if You are real, show me. And show me what Your Name is/who you are..." and then wait and...
Feeling pissed off is kinda expected when there is so much to deal with and it feels so unfair and difficult. I used to punch my pillow to get the emotion out. It worked well. I should do that again;...
Good Maggie. Keep your goal in front of you. I know you can do this too. Do you think it would be good to have your name put on the subsidized housing list anyway? Then at least you are on it, and...
