I don't have any answers really, but maybe there's something you have always wanted to do, and it would be the perfect chance to try it out now? Do you write books? Love working with kids? <br /><br />I have been struggling lately with some of this, because now after 12 years of parenting, our children are in school all day...what do I do with the extra time? What should I do? It can be so overwhelming sometimes! Anyway, I'm not trying to make this about me, but just letting you know I think I "get" what you're saying! I will pray that God will lead you directly where He wants you to be! (Jeremiah 29:11~ a promise I cling to!) (At least I am pretty sure it's 29:11!)<br />Hugs,<br />JenniJennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894298965540935785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6493413646432273695.post-74057372421782769382009-06-15T20:54:34.092-05:002009-06-15T20:54:34.092-05:00I can't give advice, and I can't make it b...I can't give advice, and I can't make it better, but I can pray-- and I will.

I finally found myself asking God to help me be content in that new situation and He did :)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01862670968378583398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6493413646432273695.post-55802451239982194712009-06-15T08:38:02.594-05:002009-06-15T08:38:02.594-05:00You and I have talked about similar things a coupl...You and I have talked about similar things a couple of times, so forgive me if this is repetitive. When I had my 'couple months of living on the couch,' I couldn't find the will to get up and do anything. I could have used the time to write my book, but since I wasn't sitting on the couch for that purpose, it was hard to try to force myself. (If that makes any sense). I remember the only time in my life that I have ever been able to force myself to exercise was when I was in college, had a job and was going out all the time. <br />If I have one thing to do, I wont do it. If I have 20, I will get all 20 finished and still bake cookies just because. <br />I think (if you are like me) the best advice I can give you is to find several things to do. Make things to do, maybe even find a nonprofit organization that you can donate your time (and skills) to. I know here, there are several groups that do newsletters and things that need writing help. It could work 2 ways - 1, give you something to do (and raise your confidence) and 2, might connect you with someone who can give you a job. <br />Just a thought!<br />Good luck, this too will pass.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835418660606605360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6493413646432273695.post-11116969959224510582009-06-14T19:14:49.113-05:002009-06-14T19:14:49.113-05:00I'll be praying you will have clear direction ...I'll be praying you will have clear direction from God soon.
