Chaos

Found out tonight (Friday), that we have to move out by Sunday. I have no where to go. So much to pack. I'm trying to trust God in this situation, but it's scary not knowing where i'll be staying from monday on.

The past month has been extremely hard. I try to withhold all my negative complaints. But it's hard. I'm not saying my problems are super big. I'm jus sayin i'm having a hard time enduring my problems. Sometimes we all just need someone to affirm that what we're going through is stressful, painful and difficult. If you felt terrible, and had no one who was willing to listen, offer empathy, or someone who could understand, how would you feel? Yeah you don't wanna let your crappy feelings affect others, but at the same time i think it's healthy to express what your going through. Perhaps were taught to suck up all our problems because no one really has time to care. It seems we aren't patient enough to truly listen to how someone else really feels. In counseling, we're told to never give quick fix answers. It kinda frustrates me now when people try to solve deep rooted problems with such simple minded solutions that don't really do much help. Counseling is less about giving advice, and more about giving compassion, helping them come to realizations, and directing them to God.
