I have been spending time reading books. Its books about all kinds of topics. They range from my favorite authors like Richard North Patterson to self help books. I have even read some religious dating books along with books understanding the context in which the Bible was written. They are all books that help me move forward. I have also been hanging out on websites that are not adoption related but are important to healing in my life. They are not important necessarily to me but they provide a place to meet other women such as myself. It is good to know that there are others like me.
I am trying to find a topic that helps feed my need to fill my life with purpose. Adoption and labor issues have always been on the forefront fro me. Veterans issues are also on the forefront for me as well. I want something different. Although I believe in animal rights, some times even they go too far. I think single parenting is a good thing that needs to be addressed in the state legislatures. It is very difficult to find resources for displaced homemakers. There needs to be a website that is dedicated to their needs.
With the economy still in the tank, women and children need to know what their options are. In this economy, I am discovering more and more relationships are bottoming out because of financial pressures. Women are having to go back to college to learn new skills. Women have to rely on many things to help them see things through.
I really hate that so many families are being torn apart by this situation. It happens every time the economy sinks rapidly like ours has. Men and women are seeking ways to drug themselves for the pain in their lives. There have been numerous stories in the news of people losing their jobs and seeking vengeance on their employers. There are families in dire need and yet our country can not see fit to care for them. People wonder why women return to domestically violent situations. Based on my experience alone, it is the speed in which the government moves for its most troubled people.
I must have hundreds of applications in to various employers across this area. Its been tough. I put in another ten applications today alone early this morning. I have faith that I will have a job. I know that I will find the right one for me and my family. I have faith that my family will be restored. I have faith that my family will heal through all this horrible dust storm. I have faith that God will carry us through because all I see are one set of footprints in the sand right now. I know that they are His.
Patience is a virtue. I am learning it every day.
