Hi Monica ,
Thank you for such a lovely post.
This is what motivates me in GT – people who offer sincere support which encourages rather than tells us what we already know in a lofty manner- I detest being spoken to like I am a complete idiot – I am only an idiot when it comes to my gambling addiction .
I don’t know why I feel guilty – I think maybe it’s the fact that we are made to feel that nothing less than gamble free is good enough – in all I have spent thirty euro- I enjoyed spending it. I need to normalise how I think about gambling .
Monica, I am so glad you sought help – in doing so it shows that u are not ready to give up -your circumstances have been really awful – however a new year will bring change – a fresh start.
Did u get money for the electricity ? What are your plans for Christmas Day?
I have started painting. I am back on track for my “business venture “I talked to you about. I love painting and decorating as much as I hate housework -.it amazes me that I become like super woman – full of energy – although I am rather more stiff than I used to be going up and down those steps .
I am so glad you are finding God – he has a plan for you – maybe not the one you would chose for yourself – maybe with your skills in public speaking he has plans for you to be an advocate for people who find themselves in difficult circumstances- God had given you a great brain , great presentation skills, a kind heart and great compassion .
It occurs to me that you could the director of a national charity .
I hope you are in better spirits today and feeling the love of God
