There's a lot of things I should tell you so you could understand our situation, we are going into financial trouble and our budget is going to be tight. I worry about weather we'll make it through, I don't want to gain back the 13 pounds I already lost so support would be greatly appreciated.

I know God will tack care of our needs as they come and prayers would really comfort us right now.

    mary - i can sympathize with you so much.. we have gone through quite the "financial overhaul" in the last year, and it hasn't been fun. things are still very hard for us, but i'm finding that getting out of the house and doing things that don't cost money (going to the park, especially now that it's summer!) bring some relief. it's amazing how your perspective on what's important will change during this time. we've been very fortunate to have friends help out (hand-me-downs for the girls, etc.), and many of our friends have gone through the same struggle. we don't go "out" with them much anymore.. instead we all get together for a potluck and play games or watch a movie. so things have changed a LOT in our lives, but i can say for certain that although we have to be creative with our finances, the other areas of our lives have grown tremendously stronger and wiser.

    God is faithful.. i'll pray for you, as i pray for ourselves.

    I will add my prayers to yours. Remember God always has a way of working things out, but it is always in his time frame not ours. Give him a chance. :love: :love:

    You have the right attitude. We are supposed to come to our brothers and sisters in Christ for help and prayers. The Bible says when we touch and agree (agree in prayer) that our prayers will not go unheard or unanswered. (paraphrased) So I'm agreeing right now that all of my MFP friends that are going to God in faith for financial healing will come out more than coquerors in Christ Jesus!

    Love & Blessings:flowerforyou:

    Thank you :heart:
    I know hings will work out but the stress is overwhelming and I fear of going into a depression that's near impossible to get out of.

    I will pray for you as well, God will give us the strength to see it through.

  • Trust in the Lord and he will provide! It's going to be rough but we are all here for you so feel free to use us for support.

    Also, I happen to notice you live in AB (I assume you're in alberta, Canada) if you are close to Edmonton I now some great places that help families, if your not in Alberta I still may be able to give you some suggestions as I work for a charitable organization and we have alot of connections.

    Best wishes, you are in my prayers,

    And I just new God always has a plan even though we don't see it at first, he never fails us.

    Here's a prayer I like to say at the start of a new day hope it helps someone else out there as well.

    Dear Lord, thank you for the night's rest which you gave me. I am very grateful for the renewed energy and enthusiasm it has brought.

    Accept my gratitude, O Lord, for bringing me to the beginning of this new day. I accept it as a precious gift from thee. May I use it minute by minute to do thy will.

    Guide me in every problem I shall face, every decision I shall make this day. Help me to treat everyone kindly and to be fair and just and thoughtful in everything today.

    If I should forget thee during this day, O Lord, please do not forget me.

    All this I ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

    i feel for ya too--as my family is going through some real tuff finacial problems too among other things, our favorite sayin these days is "do what you gotta do" as for the weight gain do what i do use the stress for motivation. when your feeling so crappy just go for a run/walk or a bike ride. all you can do is your best right? keep your head up you are in my thoughts :flowerforyou:
