This is really nice to be able to join this forum with all of you. My name is Stephanie and I would like to begin sharing my experiences and hopefully learn a few things and make new friends. A few weeks ago, I was fired from my job. I admit that it was my fault but it stinks not having a job when you have lived from paycheck to paycheck trying to make it and making every penny count.

I have five beautiful children. Two of them live out of the home for care for their special needs and the other three are in foster care because of conditions that I needed to get control of in order to make proper choices and care for myself and them too. I am not proud of this fact but it is important to recognize and acknowledge where you are in life's journey to see with unclouded eyes to continue life's journey. I am quite depressed for many reasons. One of them, of course, is being away from my children. We are a close family and it strikes my soul to the core of what they have been subject to. I had promised myself that I wouldn't be like my folks, yeah like that happened, and found that I had to unlearn a lot of habits formed during those years. It's nice to know that one can change from the disposition of one's birth and make a new path to happiness and eternal exaltation. It is for this reason I am able to go forward, even at a slow pace, and seek to change my inner being to reflect that of Christ.

I hope to keep things short and simple. I would love to hear from you and continue the journey with me.

May the Lord richly bless you,

Steffi
