srtgurl has a prayer!

After being laid off from the best job I ever had EVAH, I was laid off in May of 2002. That was one of the most difficult things I've been through. Ever since then I have only had temp jobs and they have been far and few between. Currently I am working in a temp job that is 40 miles from my home which translates to an hour when there's very little traffic all the way to 4 hours when there's snow!

I have an interview tomorrow only 3 miles from home! I've been hounding this guy for a month and a half for a chance and I finally have the interview tomorrow morning at 7:30am!

Please everyone pray for me that I get the job and that this will be a good opportunity for me and that I can dig myself out of debt once I get back to a permanent job!

Thank you everyone, especially you John. I really appreciate it, more than I show it. Even though I haven't really spent much time looking at this thread, it makes me proud to know that we have such a caring person such as yourself and so many others on this forum that cae about others that want to post a prayer!

SrtGurl, I'll send a shout out to the big man tonight. Good Luck tomorrow!

RUgoinUp · 12-10-2003, 03:15 PM

Thanks for your kind words and your kind heart Jean, we all need each other, & God. Like many others, I consider it a privilege to pray for, or help people out, especially those I know.

Even though I don't believe in luck (...everything happens for a reason), I wish you good luck on your interview tomorrow. Of course I have prayed for God to give you the perfect job, and to help get you out of debt (you're not alone).

BTW, bring the magazine to the interview, your celebrity status might influence their decision.

P.S. I just saw that they made this thread a sticky, thanks soo much srtforums staff!

well, not much of a real problem but for no reason I am depressed, mad, and all those other good emotions and just feel like crying. I find it very strange because I am normally the "funny guy" who is always happy and smiling. Honestly, I think i may be bipolar or something. probably gonna see a shrink in a couple weeks if this doesn't go away. I swear i just feel like being alone and i have been holding back my tears. I hope this is just a phase or someone put something in my food or something.

i don't care if i get ridiculed or labeled as the "crazy guy", i just feel like telling someone who won't tell every one i know. I am visiting my best friend this weekend and am gonna talk to him and gonna call my sister tomorrow.
Thanks, jason

Don't beat yourself up too bad, bubba. I think we're all feeling that way at certain times, or multiple times, in life.

Me for example.

Between my recent accident, medical bills, loneliness, paranoia of glacoma (sp?) at the age of 22 (from accident), the holiday season, and various other things and now difficulties at work I'm pretty down myself.

I was born and raised Christian. My grandparents and parents are Baptist. I've always to some extent have had a belief in God. Lately it just feels I've done things so wrong in life, that I can't be forgiven. I was "taught?" to believe that God forgives all sins. But it just feels like I've been forsakened.

See bubba, we all have issues. It's just part of life.
Everyone deals with it, in their own ways - or belief.

Good luck tomorrow Jean!

And I'm not crazy, I'm mad.

bubba · 12-10-2003, 09:12 PM

sorry to hear bout that.
i just don't understand why I am so depressed all of the sudden. I have good friends, a steady job, go to parties, etc and i am only 20. and i know i have things good with no real reason to be down or anything so it makes me feel like some spoiled brat you see on tv who is "gonna die" because they found out their favorite $2,000 bottle of perfume is gonna be discontinued. I don't know, i think i am just gonna give in and have a good long cry over nothing.
I think we also need a shrink forum. lol

e36 m3 · 12-10-2003, 09:20 PM

I applaud you for sharing your CURRENT mental state with us. You are not alone in your current state of depression (as medicine calls it) there are millions that are currently going through it, and millions more that have gone through it.

First I would get checked out medically because there's a chance it could be a symptom of a different physical ailment, which we hope it isn't.

Personally I look at depression phases as trials, (when the depression is not being brought on by a physical ailment) basically strengthening trials, they grow you as a person revealing to yourself just how strong you really are, then they allow you to help/coach others that come across your path who are experiencing the same condition/trial that you did. This belief system helped me through my biggest battle with depression (Trial), the medicine prescribed for me did nothing.

When I go through trials, believing that God is looking out for my best interest allows me to trust Him no matter how bad it gets. What helps me is realizing that whatever the CURRENT situation is, it would eventually pass, and I'd be right back to the happy way things usually are before the trial.

Most people don't realize that the days of our lives are usually over 90% good/happy, and less than 10% bad/sad. With numbers like that, we should accept the 10% difficult times that we encounter with smiles.

thank you madman, petar (yes i know that road. work van drifts nice on that road when dry. and thank you for the offer, i have your number from the first meet at oakridge.), and rugoingup.
it turns out it was the multivitamin i was taking. i can't believe it was a multivitamin that did that to me. it was the walgreens brand mens one a day generic.
i am generally a happy person who makes others smile just being around, but taking those vitamins i was so f'd up.
and i have physical and mental issues. i had anxiety so bad during high school i had to do independent study because i couldn't handle being around groups of people, about the same time i went through a little bit of depression, and i have a stress ulcer at 20 (diagnosed by two different doctors when i was 15or 16). now i am just lovin life and trying not to let anything get me down.

Would like to ask for your prayers for the Whitaker family of Sugar Land, Texas. The entire family of four was shot during a robbery at their house here this past week. The mother was killed as was the youngest son, who is 19. The father and the oldest son, who is 23, are still in the hospital. I did not know them personally although Mrs Whitaker was a regular customer at the store I work in. Their house is right in the center of the neighborhood and adjacent to the country club. These things arent supposed to happen here!!!

Please keep this family in your prayers. Thank you for your time.

RUgoinUp · 12-13-2003, 10:57 AM

I am very shocked & saddened to hear this, I have, and will pray for all involved & effected by this horror. I'm from Katy, TX, I know where Sugar Land is, my best friend lives there.

Last night I was thinking about all of the evil people in the world, and this proves that there are many. You just don't shoot someones mother!

I pray that those responsible will ask for forgiveness from God and the Whitaker family, and recieve wrath from the State Judge and Jury.

San Bernardino CA PD officer has been shot. I dont have much info other than she is in critical condition. Please say a prayer for her and her family.

Updated information we have received is that it was not a female SBPD officer. It was a male Sheriff's Deputy (who happens to be the partner of one of our Deputy Coroner's sons). He has been taken to LLUMC. (Loma Linda Univ. Med. Ctr.)

LilRacer747 · 12-22-2003, 11:12 AM

Lilracer747 would just like to say first of all this is an awesome thread... i've been going through rough times at home. Like i'm 21 years old and i'm still having to ask to go places, basically my mom likes to feel that shes still in control.. i've finally come to a point where i can't take it. i know my mom has had rough times for example when she was younger her grand mother would bet her, shes been raped, etc... so i see where shes trying to hold onto me, but i'm not a little good anymore in that sense she needs to let me go.. she can't hold my hand forever, i need to explore things too.. also i grandma lives with us and she does a lot she cleans the house, she cooks breakfest, she watches my lil sis who's 8, so when she wants to rest why can't she shes 63. my mom thinks just because she works all week that peeps need to listen to her... the things i see my mom do to me and my grandma are not fair. but what is a person to do or say when they are you're family. i've tryed talking to her but all she does is yell. how long must i suffer... please pray for her.. pray for me.... most of all my prayer goes to my grandma.. without her i'd probably be in a foster home.. i thanks GOD everyday for letting her my grandma live to see another day... well enough of my drama.. as i read other peeps post i realize i don't even come close to some peeps. i should be thankful what i do have i should be thankful that i have a mom that cares.. you really don't know how bad you really have it until you look at someone else's life.. my advice to all.. never assume your life sucks because there is always someone that has it harder. and life is not hard unless you make it hard... to all those peeps having surgery and looking for a job good luck.. i will say a prayer..

and may i just add i thank the LORD for letting me find that special someone and that would be sufiztic many of you know him by greg... he's been very supportive in my time of need giving me a shoulder to cry on, understanding that if i take anything out on him he knows why. many guys would just say F it this girl has to much going on but without him i probably won't make it this far. i love him dearly and sufiztic if you ever read this post i just want you to know how i've appreciated everything you've done for me and i'm very grateful to have found someone like you. you always tell me how lucky you are to have me but i'm lucky too...

Father, as we enter this season of celebration, it is also a season of stress for so many of us for so many reasons. I pray that You, who sent us the Prince of Peace, would send peace again this season. Not general peace for the world, but peace to our everyday, walking around lives.

Help us to see others around us with the love that You have for them, especially when they really bug us. Help us to remember that they are people that You dearly love as well. Give us wisdom and understanding to deal with them in a way that is healthy and loving.

Finally, do in our own hearts the work that needs to be done, to make us into the people You want us to be. We are alive to become like Your Son, in whose name we pray. Amen.
