Questions Unanswered

Another day comes another one goes and when it will end no one really knows time marches faster with each passing day as I'm watching life just slipping away. The hours tick by as into the night hurting and hopeless devoid of my light I'm seeking answers to set my mind free should I keep trying or should I still be? Where am I going and what should I do am I a failure who's washed up and through? The rest of the days that I have left here surely are numbered. my heart sheds a tear. So much time wasted so many dreams killed I feel my heart quake another tear's spilled. The morning draws near no answers I find searching these chambers alone in my mind. Do I have value and what is my worth am I just wasting my time on this earth? Answers evade me as time ticks away my heart is weeping as I kneel to pray. Dear God please tell me please give me a sign am I just crazy by my own design? Will I be able to conquer my pain or will I always feel like I'm insane? What is my meaning where do I fit in before my life's through why did it begin? Questiond unanswered I notice the sun another day's over another's begun.

Worry is of the mind, peace is of the heart, The heart holds the true power of God and your inner self. Seek toward the inner self, for the mind will paint your life into a no win situation. Stay busy, in something you enjoy doing, deny the mind it's domination of your life. Seems unreal, but your own mind will lie to you, while the heart is truth! Sincerely Moses

Don't be afraid to move on . Maybe what and who you think you need you do not. Maybe you are being held down or held back. Come out of your dark space Put your chin up smile at the world and get on with your new day. One day at a time you can do it. Ask the Lord and he will be by your side to help you. I have faith you can do this. Keep writing Robin it helps so much. Take some of the love you give to others and shower yourself with it. Smile and love yourself. Love and blessing, Carol

aww honey you know its a good verse "questioned" but you know the answer you're stuck in a quagmire of fear in a place where you don't belong (as you have discribed the sit to me) and you keep doing the same things and thinking you'll get a different result (the definition of crazy). How on earth could you be less valued somewhere else????? Find folks to help who appreciate all the love you pour over people. Don't stay around "drains" find a "faucet" to life with or at least near! Loves Ya

Robin, given some of the hardships you've experienced, it's understandable that ou question your purpose and meaning. However, if it is any consolation, your presence here on the soup brings comfort and joy to many. You help us conquer pain and erase our fears when we feel like we're going insane. Perhaps your mission from God is to inspire and help others. And it's a mission you have certainly carried out well. New hope can arise when another day begins. God bless you, love, Carolyn
