Aidpage

I am on the way to Dallas to interview at the transitional home. I have to be accepted first. I still haven't found the  funding to move in. I continue to do the footwork and put one foot in front of the other. Now is a time for real faith. I feel I have done all I can do at this moment. The rest of the outcome is in God's hands. I truly believe, and have to believe, that he hasn't brought me this far to drop me now. I know my faith will be tested if the results is not what I want it to be. Thats is where I learn more patience. This is an area that does need work. Sometimes the hardest lessons, are the one's that help us grow the most. Yea, I know , it all sounds good in theory, but walking it is where I ganin strength. So remember me in your prayers today, as I venture into the unknown. sometimes we stay stuck in the familiar because it feels comfortable eventhough we are miseable. Sometimes we just have to jump on a leap of faith.

God Bless!

Starshine thank you for the information. I did check out microgiving and filled out the information there. I am very grateful that I found aidpage. Though I have not resolved my issue, what I have found is this.

When I stumbled across this page I was feeling a bit sorry for myself and felt pretty much hopeless. I have always been a very giving person to a fault at times. I thought to myself, that there are people on here that have it much worse than I do and that I had absolutely nothing to offer anyone. But that has changed. I know from my experience in a 12 step program that the best way to get over my worries and concerns about my delema's .... is to help others. I had forgotten that I have a whole lot to give. No I have no money or personal things. But I do have me, and that is not a bad thing. Through my own experiences I have been given alot of insight and inspiration to pass on to others less fortunate. And to me that is worth all the material gain in the world.

Thanks and Have A Lovely Day!

i have posted my situation on my blog as I continue to search for a solution time is running out on the transitional home I am tryijng to interview with. They will be interviewing next Monday at 7 p.m. and I am in the Houston area and the home is in Dallas. Transportation is not a problem but I do not have the finances as of yet. I keep researching these sites suggested to me, and have to just walk away alot out of frustration and the feeling defeat. But I keep my faith eventhough it seems to dwindle as the day progresses. A friend told me that all I need is enough as big as a mustard seed. Ever seen a mustard seed? That is not alot. Just for now I can do that.

God Bless!

Unfortunatley God works in his time not ours. Keep the faith. It has been my experience that is my job. My business is going about his business and his business is taking care of me.

God BLess!

Do the footwork. Trust God. This site offers many sites for help. I have found that sometimes I am just spinning my wheels and am getting nowhere. Be vigilant and persistant.

God BLess!

I am with you. I also am a rocovering alcoholic. We are not promised that the promises in the big book page 83, are always ours. We get them when we need them. On some days the best we can do is Not drink, and trust God. But he always has our backs. When we get sober and start this journey, we are not promised a bowl of cherries everyday. But we are promised a daily reprieve if we just ask for it. Life doesn't stop happening because we are trudging a different road in recovery. But how blessed are we to have the program, and our fellowship to help us through the hard times. We have been freely given a set of tools to live by and it is promised that this way of life is guarenteed 100% if we follow the suggestions in the book, and so are the promises.

Sometimes I just feel I cannot take anymore of life's lessons. I just hang on to my a** until it passes. I may not be what I want tyo be today----But thank God I am not what I used to be... That in  itself is nothing short of a miracle. Is my glass half empty or is it half full. When I think I my life cannot get any worse, I have to make a gratitude list, then I realize that I am blessed. That though I may not have what I want I always have what I need.

GOD BLESS!

Well I have call myself jack of all trades and master of none. I am not oposed to going back to school. But  I must get stability in my life first before I can venture in that area. The house that I am applying for in dallas is interviewing on Monday. I am in Houston area. I still haven't come up with the rent or the deposit. But I continue to do my footwork and trudge forward. If it is meant to be it will. I have faith that God has my back. I may not get what I want but always get what I need.

Have a Lovely Day! God Bless!

Some days I am with you. But I also have to believe that everything that I have survived in my life, that my God hasn't brought me this far to drop me now. If that is all I have to hold on to, it is better than nothing at all. So God bless you and be patient. God has a better plan for all of us, and when I do the footwork and let him work in my life. His plan is so much better than any plan I may have had. I say this to you because I have to reiterate it to myself often when I feel defeated. I am defeated. I can't ----he can--- so at least today---or at least right now for this moment--- I will let him.

A friend of mine used to tell me when I was lonely, and afraid, to just stop, and ask God to hold me until the lonliness and fear went away. For some reason I just remembered that. It may sound crazy but it has worked for me many times and will work again.

I have no money--- I have nothing materially. But just for now I have enough hope for both of us. And when I got on here I didn't even have enough for me. Thanks

God Bless

It has been a long day on the computer searching some of the sites for funding aid and housing. Some ,or most of the sites take you around in circles, or want money, but do not tell you that until you have already wasted your time on the application. I feel exhausted and defeated. But tomorrow is another day. I wish that I could have gotten a little hope generated from something. Sometimes my lessons are nothing more than faith and patience. If anyone has any more suggestions on a one time aid in rent and deposit for a transitional house, please reply. This house only has one bed available and time is of the essence now. Thank You, God Bless. I hope I wasn't too whiney. It is not my intent. Though things are rough in my life right now, I do have alot to be grateful for and have learned to take nothing for granted.

I am doing everything within my power to do the foot work as to better my situation. I beleive that that is all I can do. I also believe that if i continue to put one foot in front of the other and do the next right thing to the best of my ability that things will fall into place. In God's time not mine. I never know what my lesson in any given situation may be. But more often than not ---it simply is ---PATIENCE! Have A Lovely Day All, God Bless

i am still searching resources to move into a transitional house in Dallas. tx

We can all find plenty to be grateful for if we just look around. Even when life seems at it's dimest there is plenty.

thanks for the information on grants and finacial aid. I am not looking for hand out. Just to be led in the right direction so that I may help myself.

I have been on the internet researching financial assistants and somehow ended up on this site. Not really sure what this is really all about but here goes.

I am a recovering alcohol. I have had many years of sobriety and relapsed. It brought me to my knees really quickly. I find myself without housing and had no solutions but continue to put one foot in front of the other to regain my independence and get my life back. I have been attempting this for some time now and get discouraged when I can't seem to move foward. But I am determined to continue to try to find a solution for me that works.

I have found a Sober (transitional house) in the dallas area that is fully self supporting, self run, with a safe sober envirenment.

My delema is that I have absolutely no income and am not employeed. I cannot do one without the other. I am hanging on to my tail and continue to try and do the next right thing and have faith, that if I do my part , keep  an  open mind, there is a solution I just don't know which direction to go in next with this. I just need a chance to prove to myself that I can have my life back if I continue to do the next right thing.

So I don't know what this is really all about, but there it is.
