Well folk I think I’m one step closer to living on the streets, for when I went to start my car this morning, nothing happened. I’m not healthy enough to walk to the bus stop to look for work, so I had to take what little financial resources I have and get the car fixed. 400 dollars which was 40% of my entire life savings. That means that when unemployment runs out I have exactly one month before I utterly and completely destitute.
And considering the reception I’m getting, just visiting my old group home, even if I lose the weight, I don’t think they will hire me back. Which was something floating around in the back of my head, thinking that if I lose 100lbs that they might hire me for the more intensive behavior homes. But when word came down that they had a problem with me just stopping by and saying hi, I just don’t know what the hecks going on.
So wow, reality is really hitting me right now.
I don’t know really were I can cut my budget, maybe get rid of my phone, of course my internet is tied to that, and that like 80% of my job search is through my internet, ,as well as writing these blogs, which has been sort of my salvation, and the people, and friends I’ve made through it. I could cut out eating in restaurants once a week, but that like my only inkling of joy that I’m experiencing during this fast, and let’s face it that $100 that I might save over the next 2 and half months really is not going to change my circumstances.
Please do not think I’m asking for anything, because I’m not, I’m just venting, and thinking, and wondering, and trying to figure out some plan for survival. It’s getting to the point that I probably won’t have the resources to remount my play. Unless I do a few really simple productions, and put out the hat to help develop it further. I still need to get healthy to do that to.
Lemonade without sugar is sure a bitter drink ( you know “when life gives you lemons etc…”)
What an absolutely wonderful Christmas this will be, I’m so glad I hate Christmas already.
Peace

Hi Gerry,
it was in the midst of the storm that Jesus was woken up and He calmed the storm. It was only when the Hebrews had left Egypt and their back were against the Red Sea, with Pharaoh and his mighty army about to destroy them that God then moved and opened up the red sea (a miracle). It is when we find ourselves in the place where we can do absolutely nothing that God can do this impossible and receive ALL the glory for it.
Hold on my brother, don't give up. Believe me, I have truly wanted to give up on life at times this year and have asked God as Elijah did to take my life. God will answer my brother, just keep your trust and faith in Jesus; He never fails. Take a read of this link http://jeremiahandbrotherdon.blogspot.com/2009/09/
Also take a read of a response to the original blog http://jeremiahandbrotherdon.blogspot.com/2009/09/
Praying for you my brother; God will not fail, His ways are not our ways. Keep going, keep writing as you are inspiring manner to keep on going and to be real about the feelings we experience as we go through the trials.
God bless you
Brother Don
Keep writing, 911..... You don't know yet how many people you may be inspiring. All the best, always.
