When the Manager of Walmart asked me what my new position was the other day, I answered him back..
'people stalker.'
He either didn't hear me correctly or chose to ignore my odd sense of humor (LOL)..and said...
'Oh that's nice.'....lol
Ya, whatever...lol
During the Christmas holidays, I worked the midnight shift as a Customer Service Manager.
I shared with a co worker yesterday and seriously had to force myself to shove down the tears that welled up in my eyes (and even having to go to the bathroom later to compose myself)..
I had replied to her comment about hating where she was but needing the money.
"I cried each night I had to come into work the midnights. At the beginning I cried so much I had to redo my make up.(than I just stopped putting it on until I knew I wouldn't be crying anymore..lol)."
" I had to come to work. I had to 'man up' and provide for my family some sort of income so we would not lose every thing we had worked so hard for."
(Randy was fired at the beginning of November and December, (week of Christmas),Unemployment Benefits had denied him any income).
I also shared with her (and everyone else at the table that was listening..talk about my agoraphobia kicking in folks..helllooo,lol..God and His odd sense of humor)...
"I have come to love midnights" so much that I'm just blown away. Talk about God doing more than I could have ever asked, imagined or prayed for.
I just prayed He keep me sane, rational, joy filled and able to work till the end of the tunnel was over and I reached the 'light' side of days again..lol.

I shared with another co worker (ya, ya..I'm always yappin..LOL) about all of you...those that make it till the end of all my yappin.
"The people 'stalkers' (people in my real life that really don't care less for me, just pretend to my face they do and are just noisy ..and let's be honest folks..we ALL have them..lol) won't read all of my yappin, it's not something they would be interested in."
All of you that have made it here..well you are like what that picture above represents...
Safe, cozy, warm, healing, loved and cherished...
With all my 'boo boos' in my life, your encouragement, your love, your inspiration strengthen me to continue to share my heart, to open my heart up and let you in...
Heart to heart.
The Lord is at our right hand precious ones as we close 2012 and begin 2013. We will not be shaken.
amen amen amen....
Have I told you lately.....
I LOVE YOU~

Tears fill my eyes...I can so relate. I wasn't able to change our tidal wave and we did loose our house, but God is faithful. I am now again at a point of needing to bring in income while still raising a young child...I have cried those tears as I have cleaned others potties. God is faithful and your willingness to do what you never imagined inspires me.
Keep your chin up...He will provide and hold you up.
Blessings to your husband...we have been there and only now have a temporary job...life is hard for our husbands as well.
Angie, I really am tired of working. I have prayed to God for a means to retire for years.
I truly believe he keeps us where we are suppose to be and there is always a reason for everything that happens in our life.
I continue to pray for you sweet sister. I have grown to look forward to your post. I don't always comment but I always read.
Love you
Susan
Dear sweet Angela...By the way you are an angel in my book.
I cherish your post. You really are in a safe place with your blogging buddies. I can recall times in my life when I felt alone and abandoned. My first husband of 15 years left home on December 27, 1984...never to return. I remember holding on for dear life to God and binging on the Psalms to carry me through. God is faithful and sometimes we don't understand the hardships...but He is always with us...No Matter what!
I will be praying for you and your family this coming year.
Stay the course and keep your sweet upbeat trusting spirit!
Hugs,
Carolynn xoxoxo
Ang, I cried along with you. I can relate to your sadness. I cry almost every day. No one will hire me because of my age (I am sure of that). There are two bridal shops in my area that are new. I tried both of them and was rejected. We live on a fixed income and it is so hard. Christmas was very sparse this year. I live from moment to moment and I hate it. We have no money saved anymore as we used it to live on. I hold my breath whenever something seems like it may break. Borrowed time, I guess that's what you call it. I cling to my faith in God to see us through. He has sofar and I know He will continue to do so. I only wish I had your positive outlook. You inspire, sis, and give hope to others. God bless your family abundantly. Happy New Year! love, ginny
