I've just been sitting here watching the world go on around me. But I need to get this out, need to write it down. I feel so alone. I feel lost, I just don't know what to do anymore. Ron's deadline is tomorrow, I'm hoping after that he'll be home. Maybe that will help a bit? Relieve some of the pressure?

I'm so sorry you're feeling discouraged right now. I know you've been through a lot of changes recently. I wanted to share one of my favorite quotes with you. I refer to it often when I'm feeling discouraged about change, especially when it's unwanted.
“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right, and stopping the leaks in the roof, and so on: you knew that those jobs needed doing and you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably, and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is He up to?
"The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of– throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
–C. S. Lewis
Best wishes that you can make it through this and come out the other end.
