Hello everyone, just wanted to share in the ongoing dialogue and enjoy the wonderful company out there. Been stuck in a long impasse after being unemployed for a year basically, moving back to my parents after leaving a very toxic situation in Northern California where I was teaching in a high school and deciding that public high school is not my calling in life, and I just got hired for online ESL teaching job. This is a good thing. It won't be enough to take care of me and it will be hard adjusting to the schedule (on China time), but it is surely better than nothing. Depression still rankles me. Loneliness is terrible. I am willing to give it all up for Christ. not here to complain or make people sorry for me or set myself up as an outsider, like someone on this site sadly accused me of in a hostile attack yesterday. I will serve God any way I can. any way. any way. much love to you all.
