Right back atcha hun! Hope you're doing OK?! How's wedding planning?!?!?!

Wedding planning is stressful and pretty all consuming but still super exciting!

I'm doing okay, been having a low time past month or two, mainly from job, but have just accepted a new job to be a teaching assistant in the hopes of one day being a teacher so super excited for that!

Sorry to hear you've been low But YAY for new job - sounds amazing and I'm sure you'll be great in this new position. Praying!

Yes, I can imagine it being super-stressful Glad you are finding it exciting though

James 4:10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up

2 Chronicles 7:4 and My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

So many times we hear from God that we need to be humble.

So opposite from the world's view of self self, self and self promotion

I really need to drop in more.
I keep forgetting about this site annoyingly.

I've been in Canada for five months and I've never felt so depressed. I've felt so invisible over here and everyone seems like they're having a wonderful time. I've tried my best to join clubs and make friends and for the most part I've been successful but there's an empty feeling in me that really gets me down.

I've found my courses fairly challenging and I had exams so close to Christmas day which prevented me from being able to visit home for a reasonable amount of time so I haven't been home at all. It feels so lonely when I'm in my flat by myself for the whole day because I can't find the motivation to go outside.

The people who are responsible for creating events for the residents of this building to enjoy deliberately exclude me and pretend that I don't exist. I have been treated with disrespect on multiple occasions and I just want to go home honestly.

Have you settled into a local church?

Also do you have a 1-2 hours a week to volunteer? I find doing things away from the everyday stuff really helps.

Awww hun, I'm so sorry to read that you're so unhappy, and that you're being deliberately excluded - that's not nice at all. Would you feel confident enough to approach these people and confront them about why they are excluding you?

That's awful you had exams so close to Christmas Day and that you couldn't go home

Rest assured we are here for you and I will keep you in my prayers

I will have a good look for one and try to find some volunteering work if I can.


I've brought this up more than once and my "friend" has been quite aggressive with me, almost blaming me for my own exclusion. I've been as friendly as I can be whilst being repeatedly ignored and treated as nothing. She's put the blame on me by saying that I'm the one who's made things awkward with everybody and I'm the one causing problems by feeling so depressed.

It would have been too expensive to warrant going home for such a short period of time. Thank you so much.

Wow, that's unnecessarily antagonistic of this "friend" I'm glad you had the courage to bring it up more than once though - go you!

I think the advice about finding a good church you feel happy and comfortable with, could be good for you

I planned for months and months to go to Newcastle, missed my offer and ended up going to Glasgow. Cue lots of tears etc but looking back God put me very much in the right place, and without missing my offer I wouldn't have had so many amazing experiences that I've had including living abroad for a year, completing a Masters at Cambridge and also meeting my now fiancé. God's got a plan even if we can't see it, and missing my offer has taught me so much to trust in Him.

I spoke to a counsellor which was helpful and I've been advised to take up a hobby that reminds me of home, so I'm going to enrol in some water aerobics classes. It's a sport that I'm good at and really enjoy. I will definitely get involved with a Church. I don't like how things get misconstrued over messengers so I will talk to this "friend" in person if I bump into her but I won't go out of my way to have an unnecessary argument.

Thank you for your support.

This looks like a great thread!
I was an atheist for a few years, and came back to the faith last year. Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!!
