[Faith-talk] word of testimony

Tue Jul 22 21:44:03 UTC 2014

It is always difficult no matter what side of the coin your on, I have been
on my own since the age of 16 finding ways to survive, by the time I was 21
I had four children to feed as well. I had dreams sometimes about being able
to stay with a family member, but that never happened, so my wings have been
beating the air for a couple decades now. I find that patients can go a long
way, because when we rush things, we often get more than we bargained for.

Hi Andrew, 
I know what it's like to want to spread your wings. I'm in a similar boat.
In my case, I have left the nest, had a couple of jobs, got a boy friend and
had to return back to my mom's nest where there is no transportation. I am
also trying to spread my wings at the age of 27 years old. My friends,
family and boy friend all want me to spread my wings. I know all about the
frustration and depression that goes with trying to spread your wings but
banging your head on the wall at each turn. My whole year is like that. I am
a Pagan and I hope that the Pagan Gods will help me out. Do you know if
Canada offers low income housing? I hope for both of our sakes that we can
fly like eagles!!!
