Chapter 25: Providing For Your Household
Money is very difficult to come by. In fact, one normally has to have a job to
have any money. Me, I have a mental illness that disables me and prevents me from
working...So my father pays the rent, and my grandmother supplies groceries and
things for the house.
But Providing for your house is up to you. When you go out to the stores with your
family member, you will need to think...what do we need? What do we already have?
What can I get that I want? It's all very strategic, you have to have a thinking process
when you are on a minimal budget, as I am. If I see something that I fall in love with,
and it isn't too expensive, i ask my grandmother to buy it for me....and she often does!
I try to buy things that we need. Sometimes its hard. Like laundry and dish detergent,
toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc...these things you are going to have to bring yourself
to purchase--even though you don't want to spend your money on them. Washing clothes,
for example...you just have to do it. If you don't have a dishwasher, you can hand wash dishes
but you'll need to find a local laundromat if you can't afford a washer and dryer. Stuff is expensive!
It's sad that poor people on minimum wage budgets never or rarely get disposable income. Money
to spend "for fun". When you are very poor you don't have the money to buy "fun" things or go on vacation etc.... but it's important to buy toilet paper and cleaning products, a vaccuum, etc. I know they are expensive, but they are neccessary....a vaccum can be replaced with a broom. I swept my carpets today, actually. It's less expensive. Providing for your household, however much money you have...means you must remember to provide the essential things like groceries. Children can spend their money freely, because they don't understand nor have to worry about grown up needs like food and cleaning. But we're grownups, and grownups must clean the house, and put food on the table, even cook the food from scratch! How difficult it is....It's sad. Just do your best....cry a little...you'll be okay. Making ends meet is impossible for me, because i'm sick...it's hard to depend on my family. Your spouse can work...Best of luck!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Chapter 24: Being A Good Wife
Being a good wife is very important. One must be faithful and diligent in all things, unto thy husband. One must do good to thy husband even as though he were thy child. If you view your husband as a little child, then you shall see him as he really is. Truly, husbands are like little boys. Sometimes they misbehave, but if your husband is a Good Man, One Should Forgive Them. Being a good wife means being kind and loving, to care for thy husband even as though he were helpless...for verily and truly he is, helpless. What is a man without a Woman? And a loving wife, a good woman, must surely be loved by her husband, if he be a good man. And if he is not a good man, then do not marry him. But if he is a good man, seek after to provide for him all good things that make little boys giggle and laugh. Being a good wife is just to love and be faithful to Him. Clean the house for him. Provide food, clothing and shelter for him. Watch over your little lamb when he sleepeth. He is only a child. Be faithful to him, come what may. It is more vital to his heart than many diamonds. If you are a loving, faithful wife, then you shall be loved, and many years shall be thy life with thy husband.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.////

Chapter 23: Beauty: It can be fun, But it isnt who you really Are
Find the beauty in you. You are Beautiful. I know because I have never seen an ugly face! Which means yours is no exception. We are all created by God to be his Beloved Creations. He Wants Us To Be Who We Are Naturally, and not fight what God gave us. We are all beautiful! Besides, beauty is all relevant, one man's trash is another mans treasure...beauty is in the eye of the beholder...we are all beautiful.
Makeup: Is Fun, But don't let it become a mask you hide behind. So many people are afraid to go outside without their makeup on. I say, proudly show the world who you really are! Because, deep in our hearts, we all know that beauty isn't important at all. it is fun when you have it and painful when you dont have it. it is a gift from God.
But beauty doesn't matter! It doesn't matter what you look like. it matters what's inside you, who you are, your personality, your heart, your soul. Beauty is only skin deep. One eyeliner can make me a beauty...but wipe it away and im bare and plain and vulnerable.
Be easygoing with beauty. its fun. don't feel a need to be beautiful because beauty isn't important. Just wear whatever you want, act however you want, do whatever you want, be whoeverr you want to be. Beauty is Fun, But it's not Important. Who you are inside, that's what matters. If you're beautiful on the inside, that's all that matters.

Chapter 22: Writing
Writing is my Biggest Passion. I love to write. It helps your writing if you read alot, especially when you were in school as a young person. Every little novel helps. It's never too late to start reading. Read Poetry! I love Poetry. I Write Poetry, In Fact. I try try to write a Poem Every Day.
I have some tips for writing. Some people write fiction, i write poetry. A Plotline is not my strongest skill. Some people are brilliant with plots.... I can write a good allegory or fairy tale, but i've only written a few, and they are completely metaphorical and fantasy, mostly about true love.
If you're like me, you're not very good at plots or characters. But I love to write! Description is my skill, also wisdom and saying things that will help people. I love to write poetry.
-Try To Write Like You are Talking To Someone. Just write down a mental conversation you're having with someone you love. Write like you talk.
-no need for second drafts. My first drafts are my best drafts. I never write a second draft.
-When it comes to the fear of Writer's Block, I say, "The Only Thing A Writer Has To Fear Is Fear Itself." Fear that our writing wont be good enough keeps so many people from writing. But you have to be confident. Let your writing flow smoothly and easily like water. Water flows and gathers and evaporates and even boils, yet is still water....so too with inspiration for writing. Writing comes and goes but you want to write when you have the energy. Don't push yourself if you do have a block. Think about why you have a block, but often one is just exhausted, needs to build up energy to write again. Writing takes Time.
I write naturally, And it's my Passion. When I Write, I am Free. Anyone Can Write. Some people dont' have the confidence because they were bullied in school or told they were "dumb"///NOBODY IS DUMB. Start the book. Write today! Write whatever comes out of the top of your head. don't worry about the quality. Just Write, like a journal. Free Flow.

Chapter 21: Staying Up All Night, Or Insomnia
I have severe insomnia. In fact, I am completely able to sleep without taking several pills. Days go by and i still haven't gotten any sleep... this is very dangerous. and it's painful. No matter how hard i may try to sleep, I can't even keep my eyes closed! So i lay in bed for hours and stare at the ceiling because i'm unable to close my eyes. When I do close my eyes, i see horrific nightmare images.
But...That's WITHOUT my medication. When I take my medication, Xanax and Geodon, I sleep naturally, like a baby. It's a really wonderful thing, that a pill can give you a good night's sleep. Without my medications, I would probably die. But with them, I am perfectly well and comfortable.
If you can't sleep, Go To The Doctor. Insomnia is VERY REAL. If you don't have your medications, then you'll have to stay up all night until someone brings them in the morning. At least, that's how it is for me. Staying up all night is a test of endurance and self control. One becomes incresingly sick and in pain as the night wears on. You find yourself praying and praying for the light of dawn. I hate nighttime. Maybe I am a child of the Sunlight, because, I'm always unhappy at night. I am afraid of the dark. You must be strong, and go to the doctor if you can't sleep over a period of time. Listening to YouTube videos and drinking hot Tea, will get you through the night. Good Luck....

Chapter 20: Building a Support Network Of Family And Loved Ones
You can should try to be a "hub", a center, for communication, for your family. I am one. In a way, I keep the whole family together. My parents are divorced and the kids are all grown and live all over the country. So naturally it is a challenge for me to keep everybody communicating, to keep everybody on the same page...you could say that i am one of the people "holding this family together". If it weren't for my phone calls and relaying of information to one another, then they wouldn't be communicating with one another at all. Because most of my family will talk on the phone to ME, but my sister and mother and brother don't talk to each other....and my mom and dad don't talk to one another...and my grandparents dont talk to my mother or brother. Confusing, I know! I have to relay messages to one another from each other and keep everybody up to date on what's new and changing in each other's lives. In fact, if it weren't for me, my family would hardly be in touch at all! It takes effort to be a Hub of Information and communication between a group of people, my family. I promise myself i won't let them drift too far apart from one another...so i call them all daily or weekly to chat. I visit my grandparents. my sister visits me. Never underestimate the power of a lot of phone calls over a long period of time...you'll hold together a support network of family and loved ones! THat, my friends, is How I Personally Built And maintain A Support Network of family and friends. Phone calls. emails. communication. My treasure is in heaven.... I am a good person, and I believe in the value of family. They all love me, even if they dont like one another....and that is everything. A support network of family and loved ones!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.

Chapter 19: Telling Others How Much You Love Them Every Day
Your loved ones need to know just how very much you love them. That's why it's so important to show them how much you love them. Tell them how much you love them, individually. Call them every day or every other day. Draw your family close about you. They'll probably ignore you after the first few calls, but they might not; and at any rate, calling them and sending them messages regularly to remind them that you love them is so important. Spend time with your loved ones! Take out time of every week for family visiting. Your Parents, Grandparents, brothers and sisters are your inmost circle. Share good times with them. Spend time with each one of them. Make memories over time. Because what if you died suddenly? Wouldn't you want to tell your loved ones exactly how much you loved them? Or what if one of them died? Wouldn't you wish you had told them and showed them how much you cared before it was too late? Life is for loving. Life is brief, and when we die, we're gone and it will be too late to tell them all the things you had to say....
So tell them now, now and every day! Get on the phone and call your mother and grandparents and remind them how much you love them! Because we aren't going to be around forever. You want to live your life so that, if anything happens to anyone, you won't be full of regrets that you didn't make the most out of your time on earth with them, or told them you loved them. Treasure moment with loved ones, make it a way of life. If I die tomorrow, i will die at peace, because my loved ones, friends and family alike, all know just how much they are loved. I have already told each of them all i have to say, and i continue to do so as life goes on. Live a life for no Regrets! Tell everyone how much you love them, every day.
