I’m done

[gator]

As some of y’all know from years ago I flood 4 years ago 8” in house. 1994 1998 2015 well I got hit 2017 Harvey and now again the other day. The state highway is a damn. A lot water real fast it backs up till it goes over the road. 2 years ago my 34 year marriage ended because she lost her job and Unknown to me she started a severe gambling lying stealing habit. I spent two years trying to help her she could stop so to protect myself we divorced. This killed my spirit. I won’t ever get over it just wake each day and make it through day for my kids and grand kids. I just started scrolling a few months ago. Well I see God and my kids have convinced me. Daddy it’s time to sell love on with my life. this is why my post stopped. Hope to have it on market by Christmas new kitchen cabinets sheet rock paint ready to move in. 3 realtors gave me numbers that shocked me I could make that much onna flooded house. All I hear is God saying move on tom. I be back as soon as o can. Scroll on brothers and sisters

So sorry to hear of your troubles.  Sometimes the tough times in life make us tougher as well.  Sending prayers and best wishes to you.  I hope the house sells quickly and you can get on with rebuilding your life.

It takes time to get over the heartbreak and frustration of something like that.  But as the saying goes, time does heal all wounds.

Take it a little at a time, and don't think back, think of whats to come and enjoy the little things, good luck and my prayers are with you

Hi Tom:
Remember, HE will never give you more than you can handle
Enjoy what you have at the moment, look ahead and keep on going
Time does heal as mentioned earlier

Be strong and weather the storm. You made it this far so sail on! Life is not easy! Seems like troubles never stop.We've all been through tough times and made it. Hang in there buddy i'm routeing for you! Scrolling is my outlet.

I know the feelin.  Also know that no words exist to make things better.  Just know that God's got it under control, no matter how rough it gets.  After my first wife left me, I got into the habit of setting my watch to beep every hour, and I'd make a point to stop and say a quick prayer for help to get me through to the next hour (worked in retail, had to spend all day helping happy couples....).  That helped a lot.  Stay strong, and know that we're always here for you if you need to vent, gripe, scream, holler, create sawdust, or just ask for prayers in general.

If it makes you feel any better, our family was homeless on the streets for 2 years. Not writing from the streets now, so there are some major bumps, but it gets better. Someone told me while we sat in the street. "You have nothing to worry about, you hit bottom and survived. Now all you've got is have things get better." Wanted to hit him, but he was right. RJF

life does sometimes give us a lot of problems. You fought to save your marriage but when people develop bad habits they do not seem to be able to get over them. You took your best shot at trying to get things corrected and it just did not work for you. Our family here in The Village will always be here waiting your return. You will not be forgotten and prayers for you to get things in your life working for you once more will continue until you do get back to this family of yours. Keep focused and continue trying and do not ever give in or up.
