Topic: Compassion (05/23/24)
There are times when I needed the lord's comfort when I get anxious about sometime like am I going to be able to make ends meet until my pay cheque comes in couple of weeks. I also fee anxious about my husband's online gambling. I also feel anxious as to whether my daughter has a healthy relationship with her boyfriend.

As a teenager, I was bullied by 2 guys whom I went to high school with. I asked for God's compassion, and I prayed that God would get through these boys spiritually. They said to me,
"Jesus hates you!" I felt sad that they said that to me. Another thing was whenever I could not understand my brother was saying he told me that I was very stupid and very dumb. I thought should he be telling this when he attended Christian school. I felt my parents spoiled him to death. I felt that he was favored more than I was.

I had a younger brother who attended Christian school, and he never acted spoiled. I felt sorry for myself for being slow in school. I thought why was I born that way. Did God really meant for me to be that way. My neighbor told that I turned out the way God wanted me to be.
I told my mother that I was going to commit suicide because when I was in grade 12, I was not sure what I was going to do next like attend college or work.

After high school, I was in a vocation program with clients who learning problems, and I got job working in a hospital for 2 months. I had a good recommendation from there which I was capable and reliable. After that
my next placement a restaurant where they served vegetarian food. I worked for 4 months. The staff there were friendly. I felt that God helping me with my future. 2 years later I got a permanent job there for 6 years before working a deli for 30 years.

I have to keep seeking comfort, and count my blessing for the gift I have in writing. I am working slowly on a novel. I don't know when I am going to finish it, but I know that I have to keep putting forth the effort.

I hope you are finding healing and peace through your writing. I would encourage you to find someone to read over your work and help you with grammatical errors, etc. You have a great deal to share.

This is a sweet synopsis of your life. I'm sure many people can relate to this. I'd urge you to ask someone to read your piece aloud before submitting. If they stumble over a sentence, you might want to look at it again. Also all experts suggest you write out numbers up to ten, many suggest up to a hundred. I can feel your passion and desire to share your life with others. Good luck on your novel. I'd also urge you to read other entries (the ones in your level and a few in masters) and leave comments. By doing this, you'll discover what does and doesn't work for you and will be able to apply it to your own writing. It also will encourage other writers to see more comments. Keep writing. I look forward to reading more of your work.
