How was your weekend?

Quote From: hiddenheart

Hi, Renee'

 

You always have such nice things to say to me.  Thank you for your support.  I would like to meet you some day too.  That would be so cool. :)

 

Well, I talked to a recruiter today.  He told me that dropping out of the Delayed Entry Program won't keep me out of the Navy now.  That was a relief.  I told him about the swallowing food problem that I have, and he'd never heard of it, but didn't think it would be a problem.  That might still get in the way, but I'm still trusting God to heal me there, so maybe after He does...?  The recruiter said that there shouldn't be any problem with me joining, and if I joined the Reserves, I wouldn't have to be away from my family too much.  An average of six months for basic training and "A" school(job training).  If I go for the Interpreter job, though, that "A" school would be longer.  So, I would be away from my family more, of course.  So, now I just need to talk to my husband about it more, and talk to my pastor, and of course, talk to God the most.  I'll keep you posted.

 

So, I'm glad you're not cutting anymore.  That's good.  I've heard that can be a really hard thing to quit, but I'm sure you can do it.  If you need any specific prayer, I'm always here. 

 

I have to go get my baby down for a nap, but I wanted to let you know what's going on.  I will talk to you more later.

Well, did you have a good weekend?  What did you do?

 

My weekend went as usual, only worse for the wear.  My brother and sister-in-law decided

to tell me how much I owe them since I became ill and they brought me out here!!  So,

needless to say, I was thrown for a loop.  (It's around 45,000 dollars)  I've been about

to throw up ever since.  Between my house note, monthly bills, paying them back and

whatever else pops up, I won't have anything left over.  I'll be purely working to pay the bills.

 

I know, most people in the world do that, but, I wanted a new start; not the same old thing.

 

Sorry, I'm just really, really depressed over this whole thing.  I knew I owed them money,

but not that much.  Plus, had they let me go back to Arkansas, instead of cutting off all of

my ties, my house note would be half of what it is here.  But, they had taken care of my job

for me, too,  --------- ugghhhh.   Here or there, I guess it really doesn't matter.

 

Maybe I'd better just go for now and write when I feel a little better.  See ya----

Renee'
