Crying is good for your soul :) Grief helps bring into sharper focus that which we value. Unless you mean tears of joy? The same principle would apply :D Perhaps I speak only for myself in this part, to say: I am glad I can still cry, both tears of sorrow, and tears of joy :)

Amen ...“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Why is that? It must be hard on you not having your own space.

lol it's the next line to the song that was quoted on here," I always feel like somebody's watching me"... however, as a single parent who very rarely gets a week-end off or a holiday it is actually very relevant to me right now. In fact I have been struggling badly with overwhelming circumstances and I felt like I just wanted to shut myself away from everything and every-one for about. Ironically this chat site is helping me because it's a form of escapism for me and maybe an answer to prayer. Thankyou for caring.

Hi Skylar - I have gone thru schedule changes and work-related things that to be honest with you is the pits. But it is not only God's grace that has been sufficient for me, it is fellowship that points us to the miracle of supernatural normalcy in Christ. In other words, I don't hide from the mess anymore I climb right in with it and embrace it in Christ, because God lifts me above the crisis and into His arms even as I experience it. I pray you feel welcome here, but then again, I have faith people welcome you here. Its the devil; not the circumstances - that's trying to steal our joy that is Christ's to give...so join me in singing a big "See Ya!" to the evil one and his influences Amen Chow the rest of ya I am off to that work circumstance we just spoke about ...LOL

Nice to see ya Skylar!

I just want to say first off: I LOVE YOU ALL AND HAVE MISSED YOU ALL AS WELL! Then I would like to say, I have had issues with my wireless mouse which has debilitated my ability to be in this thread the last day or so...but as I went on with God; God has remained faithful back ... I am here...Whew...I see we have still found God to be a real God who gives us His love without limits...and with out excuse. Isn't it ironic how we sometimes wish to control God so that we don't feel the wildness of God's grace. We even will be tempted to feel despair so we can control the power of His overwhelming unconditional love; for sometimes we buy into the lie that we just aren't good enough for God. But I am saying this day; God has made us good enough in Christ! And each and every one of us is His Creation and each and every one of us is His Best! God don't make no Class "B" Children. We all will share in His glory someday! He loves us dearly!

I am sorry I have been away so long. I have missed you all but what we see is sometimes not what is; without love filling in the blanks - I have prayed for you all and love you all - dearly. ALL OF YOU WITHOUT EXCEPTION!

My ketchup I think has expired, I need to get a new bottle, but that's what stores are for - right? LOL Hi guys! It's good to fellowship with God's Children once more...I have also been busy but that is another story another time..

There are a lot of peeps that care about you and I know that everyone on this thread does as well because here we are like a little close-knit family that genuinely care about each other. There are also other single parents here on this site so please know that you are not alone in this.

How old are you Skylar? Not that is really relevant but I just like to get to know the peeps better that God has allowed our paths to cross.

This site has been a tremendous blessing to me since I joined over 4 years ago and I have come to know a few of the members very well. I even married one of them. I pray that this site becomes a safe haven for you. It could very well be a form of escapism but I do realize that the peeps here are very real and not virtual with real feelings and emotions.

Someone is indeed watching over you and that is God. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
