Encouragement.

  • So I'm deleting this link of my FB, but I didn't want to lose the kind words that went with it. No I am not one to sit around and bash others when they upset me, but I have some friends below that really did touch me with what they said, and those words are always good to look back on when you need it.

    Because I know people like to be nosy and because I stand behind every single thing I said to her. I resent the comment posted later by her that I am 'using' the government because I am 'too lazy' to work. Actually, I have the privilege of staying home right now and getting to put things in order for our journey to come while also doing something I love and using it to give back to others. I am NOT being lazy.


    Rebecca Barnhill you don't owe anyone an explanation! it's no one's damn business!

  • Lauryn Brook Johnson AMEN! I hate that I have to justify myself to anyone at all. I have no shame in what I am doing. NONE what so ever. I am not getting a paycheck from the government (unlike the person sending me this), I am using a benefit to apply for HEALTHCARE that I haven't qualified for in almost 6 years!

  • Brittany Wills Lauryn, I have learned that sometimes it is best not to put too much information on Facebook. People are going to judge no matter what so just don't put everything out there. I get mad sometimes that everyone is in my business and then I realize it's because I put it out there. I am on your side and believe she is wrong but people are always going to voice their opinions, right or wrong.

    That's very true, Britt. The reason I got FB was to keep in contact with friends after high school. When we couldn't be close to keep up with their life and give them a way to keep up with mine. Unfortunately some people feel like since I a...See More

  • Lauryn Brook Johnson And thank God, you and so many others have proved, true friends are nothing I am short of!!!! ♥ I was so excited about today until all this happened. I'm choosing to continue to be excited about the possible opportunity instead of letting any more negativity bringing me down.

  • Meagan Grimmett Clayton Your doing the right thing, by seeking medical help AND by using financial help to do so. You paid into it. Why not use it? That's what it's there for. Don't listen to haters, LB. You do whatever you need to do to become a mommy, and you'll be a great one. There's no shame in using what you have every right to use! Keep your eye on the prize - a beautiful, healthy baby to call your own. :)

    Thank you so much Brittany, that means so much to me. I try so hard to be the kind of person that encourages others when they are in need. I don't have time to judge people. I'm too busy loving them. ;)

    I think so too, Meg. The program was p...See More

    I know, Sarah!!! You've been telling me forever! I've honestly just been so scared. I'm still scared. I terrified what they may say, but then again, I may get GREAT news that will end all of the problems I've been having. I have to go alone...See More

  • Sarah Mc I don't get why wic and Medicaid get a bad rap, there's a ton of govt programs that help people, who deserve help, get what they need. It's why they've been set up! Nobody deserves a guilt trip for using a program that's been set up to help! I'm sure that bitch didn't mind if she qualified for the tax credits for her kids she got or any other program that she or her family have ever qualified for! I'm gonna need for people to not judge for things that they've done themselves.

  • Lauryn Brook Johnson Yep. I wish her no harm, just glad to have her toxic words out of my life. I'm purging the negativity and going into tomorrow with a positive mind and heart. I'm scared to death, but at least I can finally get answers.
