Hello everyone this is my first blog and I would just like to jump right in and say what's on my mind.
Year 2010 has been the year of change and a test of my faith. I graduated from college, got married, and had my first baby all in the same year. I concieved my daughter at the beginning of my last semester in college. At the time, I was concerned, but I wasn't too worried about how I was going to be able to provide and take care of my child because I had a job and I was very optimistic about starting my career with a higher paying job once I graduated. I ended up quitting the job that I had to work some where else because the new job had a higher pay and there was an opportunity to grow with the company. After working there for two months, I realized that I really disliked the job and had wished that I had kept the job that I had before, but it was too late; there was no turning back. I had to find another job. Eventually I finally landed a job in a career that I had no prior experience with. Everything was totally new and stressful. My supervisor was constantly fussing and yelling at me for doing something wrong even though she knew I was new. It made me feel horrible. I found myself crying many times at work. I was absolutely over whelmed and I knew that this couldn't be healthy for my unborn baby, but I didn't want to quit because the money was great for someone who had just graduated from college. Unfortunately, I was unable to keep up with this high stress level job and I was faced with unemployement. My husband was still in school, so he was unable to work a full time job. Being unable to pay my own bills while being unemployed, my husband and I were forced to live with his mother which has been a huge adjustment. I'm from a middle class family with the typical two-story 3-4 bedroom home. But my mother-inlaws home is an extremely small 3-bedroom duplex. My husband and I have the smallest bedroom in the whole house and every room of the house is a complete mess partly because there is no where to put everything and also because my husband's younger sisters do not do their chores on a regular basis. My mother-inlaw is constantly fussing and cursing, yelling out the "f" word over and over, which I'm definitely not used to because my father is a preacher and there is no yelling and cursing in his household. I have been completely miserable here. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate my mother-inlaw for giving me a place to stay, but I can't stand living in a box of a home where there is no peace nor privacy. I feel that if your home does not have peace, it's because you haven't invited God inside. I've constantly been searching for jobs, but I'm being turned down from everything. I'm so lost and I just don't know what to do. My student loan payments are due and over due and I just can't pay them. I'm so frustrated because it feels like I can't get a break. I'm drained from all the stress of not being financially stable which is causing the bolk of my unhappiness. I just don't know what to do at this point other than to keep praying for brighter days to come.
