What Happens When Trust Fails Everywhere ?

I am in a situation that really has become very lonesome where sometimes, people you think you have trusted have failed you in every walk of life. Sometimes, they have treated you in a very hypocritical fashion, that you are not even aware that this is happening. Even people you share your life with is very obscure because of the uncertainty of a stable life. I have to endure all kinds pain that my health can be at stake.
I do have frail health. I suffer from Urinary track problems before menopause, I was operated to fix the problem a couple years ago, but I am taking medication "Detrol La" to keep it under control
but I still live with this problem because the doctor can't operate me again because it will take a while to heal from inside.
I was born in 1955 and I am 55 years old. You know there is saying, that when your age falls on your birthday of that year, it is going to be the lucky year. This year has been the most unluckiest year in my life.
I have been in the most embarrassing situations that is UN-imaginable.
I have lost my employment since September 21, 2009 and it will be two years this year. I am in a personal financial deficit, high credit card debt and we will have to sell our property, because I have lost all source of income almost 4 months now and no job yet. My husband had a one month postal strike, where we lost money for a whole month. We had to give up my nieces engagements, weddings, cousins invitations, bridal showers and lots of other family occasions because of money.
All the friends, co-workers whom promised to go out with me, they just call me occasionally to see how I am doing, but no actions. I know I would have done better because I care and I am a very sensitive person. You can't impose on others,because of their busy lives which is very understandable, but this is only excuses.
The family and friends make it sound so easy to get a job, but it is not easy believe me. Sometimes when I meet with some they seem to look down on you, but you know, what comes around goes around. Don't spit in the wind because you do not know where it will land the next time. Now it is my turn, tomorrow it is your turn. But God says to bless them back and to love your enemies by blessing them back with prayers
and offer these problems unto Him and He will take care of them because we are asked to forgive them.
I have been to many interviews, they say age should not be a factor to work, but it is a fact, because when you see younger people and they tell you if you are hired you will be notified by such and such a date or they send you a written notice that you aren't selected but they hold the applications for a future need and that they will contact me again. This job search thing has been very stressful for me that is causing me with an increase of anxiety within me. This has been for me some great observations to learn from it and improve myself growth in becoming more wiser and confident. There is a reason why I am going through these hard times, because in my next life where I may land in a new job, or opportunities of hope, a new door where I will share my happiness, where I will the be most understood, or back to my home where I belong with my Heavenly Father. It will be my birthday again this September 18th, I will be 56 years old. I really hope that it will be a more prosperous and hopeful year for me and my family.

Thank you so much for reading this message about me.

A Nation With Diversity

What makes us a nation with diversity, sharing 

and welcoming others from multicultural background ?

I enjoy this diversity of a people of different origins and background 

because we share our cultures in our communities, finding out about 

what they eat, their faiths, how they dress, what kind of 

entertainment they like, what is their type of decor, 

what arts do they perform and a lot more.

What I enjoy where I live, you can try different types of meals 

in many cultural restaurants. You can eat Chinese, Portuguese, 

Haitian, Mexican, Latino, Lebanese, Italian, 

Greek, Arabian, Asian, and lots of different foods. You can buy

most of their products offered in our grocery stores, where we have displays of tasting the goods provided from these different ethnic backgrounds.In the summer time we have also festivals dedicated to all different cultures where we are entertained, dance, their arts and more.

We all are have our differences in our ideas or cultures but when combined it makes it worth the while to listen and to be attentive to what they have to offer. When you listen to their history with all the baggage they carry in the circumstances that they had to endure, where some had to go through so much tribulations before they entered our countries. I as witness to some new immigrants that I met, I know from an individual point of view, we do get along, it is not religion of the individual that should separate us from dialogue, because they all teach about respect to one another with the theme of loving your neighbour as yourself.  We all know of one 

and the same God, that is above all and watches over us. He loves us all equal, we are all His children. He will never abandon His own.

We are the lands of milk and honey that God gave us that we all share it with our brothers and sisters, instead of being selfish to grab it all. Remember when we lend a hand to one another we get it back in a thousand folds. Love is pure and generous without the expectations of getting back from whom we were given from. It is in the Mighty Power of God's Hand to deliver us the blessings as He wishes. It always depends on if the Gifts we ask we are able to handle it.  It is like us humans, we know what our child needs we do not give them stones  when they ask for bread or even better,we know what is best for our children. Remember watch what you ask for, you may regret what is given that is hard to handle within our strength, unless we pray and ask for His courage and strength to be able to grow with it because it is a blessing for us to learn from our experiences.

Sometimes, I wonder why so much good stuff going on in a peaceful way, when there is so much wars around us ? They are trying to break us off and destroying our essence of existence that God had intended for all of us to live in peace, unity,and love. Remember, we are different like many types of flowers growing in the same garden. This is what makes it diversity, challenging, interchanging our cultures with love, respect and dignity to one another. Remember, lots innocent people are dieing needlessly everyday because of power controllers worldwide. God wants peace to all mankind. Let's work together in bringing it fruitful so that everyone will live without famine, humanitarian and war crisis that is presently going around us, like in Africa and other countries at stake.
