| Asking God for Peace of Heart.......
Frustration has done its damage and I am asking God to help me out more.............My other half has come to the end of another road where recovery is calling for him to return.......How long will that last...... I am at odds with the neighbor who is building up and now is invading on our privacy .........my backyard that was my private park is now NOT........God has given me a spot to enjoy and get away from others..................Where is the peace when you see this big house in the backyard and windows looking in on what you have created? Do you ignore the invasion? Do you try to make peace with this neighbor who is bipolar and has taken things personal when you have done so much for her parents so she could move in? I have packed the house and done more that a neighbor can do......way beyond my ability to the point of making sure that every detail has been taken care of ........to the point as if this was my own house...................But I find it hard to deal with this person with her constant ups and down of the bipolar problem I have noticed.....She feels that everyone is attacking her in some way and then she tends to fight with those around her....and thinks she is smarter than the rest of us.............and she says she is.. I think she wants us all to think that.... I know God is smarter than all of us put together.... and I would never tell someone that is a friend that I am smarter than them.... That was wrong for her.....! God has taken care of me and my rewards............I was not paid what the job was worth.......and I never will......I am not worried about that....I just pray that this lady lightens up and realizes that she is lucky to have such good neighbors next door to her............as this was her parents house and her mom is still alive while her dad died the start of this year............I love her parents and would do anything for them......and did........ Today............I pray hard to keep the peace in my little world and that goes for my household............ I need to relax and keep myself going within my program and feel the calm..............it is tough when my other half is messing up his life and I have to watch............for the moment there is change on his side and I thank God for that....... Please pray for me that my little world moves along quietly and that I can see good changes .................a neighbor moving in that will turn out to be thankful for all she has and not something else......... I am a good person and don't want to feel everyone hates me......for some reason........I didn't do anything wrong and my other half has told me that so many times.............. I pray for the peace of heart to keep me going................I have never done anyone wrong........I have always been there for all those around me and gone out of my way ..... In fact I have done for others and denied myself what I need to keep going......... I have my recovery and that is important.............along with my family.............. ![]() Little Penguin

| I find my peace at knowing the actions I show others are an example of what Christ has done in my life.. Enjoy your space and if she is looking out her windows...let her see your joy that comes from knowing Jesus. Be His example to her. I can't think of a better peace then that.

I have come to think after praying that God is there for me no matter how many times someone invades my space.........He is my comfort if no one else is there........................and privacy invasion......God will take care of me..... I just need to relax and enjoy myself without worry like you all have said..... Thank you.........................this is my day to kick back and get some stuff done..................I don't need someone that blows up to rescue me ........... This neighbor lady was going to rescue me from getting a job.....and I have thought about it more than once.... I am going to create a job of my own by making things that I enjoy doing.......... and try to market them...... God will help me through this and it will be a special Blessing....... Today I am going to be at peace with planting flowers in my yard and so much more to make spring special for my family............... Little Penguin

I heard a pastor on TV the other demonstrate how God runs "to and fro" looking for folks..his children to bless upon the earth... And I made up my mind then and there to begin praying more boldly (with thanksgiving)...... It has certainly lifted my mood...and brought me close to God...

Thank You Lord for what You are about to do. With faith and trust that the Lord will do what He says He will do... We can thank Him even before He answers our prayer.

There is a God when I am seeing loads of changes moving forward...... My family is moving slowy with progress and I am trying to do all I can to make my program what it is today.......... I see the light when someone else I love is following me on the same path...... I still pray that the path stays lit for this other person...... Little Penguin

Trust and believe ex.... He won't ever let you down.... 2 Timothy 1.12, NKJV I know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I've committed unto Him until that Day.

Thank you Storm...... you are a true friend that cares..... God is working in my life more and more each day and I am glad not to be left alone.... Today I am working hard on everything I can .......Cleaning house to get things out that we don't need or use..... need to make room for us to move around better and maybe make room for father in Law if it comes to that..........................I like my crafts and need to find another way to keep what I truely work on.......
