Good morning, not sure if anyone really even reads the post I put on here, yet it feels good to vent and express what I am thinking about, since I live a lone I really don't have anyone to talk to at all. This morning is one of those mornings I wish I could just go back to bed and hide from the rest of the world and cry out to God from under the covers. Do you ever feel that way to? Feel at the end of the rope, you've scraped the pot till it's so empty there's now holes in the bottom of the pot. Well if you haven't you are so very blessed, you should be telling everyone here your secret to success. For those who have, how do we now get ahead? What do we when we feel we have no where else to turn? Well? I turn to God. You see there's this scripture in Hebrews 11:1 It says "Faith (which is to see see something as truth) is the substance (physical matter) of all things hoped for, evidence (proof) of things unseen. Now when I first heard this scripture I to was like now how is this scriptures supposed to be encouraging? So now I will tell you. Let's talk about love okay? How many of us have actually see the physical matter of a creature that is love? Now we don't see a mystic being causing loving actions at all. However, we do see evidence or proof of where love has been or is? Do we not? We can feel evidence of it's presence in another person by there actions. There actions can become the evidence or proof of the excistence of love. Therefore, we see love as truth because we see the physical matter of evidence of proof of it's excistence even though it's unseen. By this we see the unseen things of God, yet we do not see them understand? It's the same way with peace, comfort, kindness, and happiness. We see evidence of them. Just like we can see those things we also have to see the financial blessings coming from God. However, it's difficult if we do not know how Gods going to help us, right? Nope, wrong. All we need is to believe what the bible says. It says that all good things come from the father of lights, James 1:17. Well in Gen. 1 we know God said let there be light and saw the light was good. So god gives us good things. Repeat this prayer: Heavenly Father, in Jesus name I come before you right now, I thank you and praise you for your kindness, for you love, for all you do for me, I ask now please increase my faith in your abilities to do all things, I ask that you help me right now, I need your help with meeting my needs and providing for my family, please help me according to your perfect love and goodness, I ask these things because Jesus said in Matthew 7:7 ask and it shall be given you. I believe because Jesus is your perfect reflection on earth for mankind that he will not lie as you do not lie, so I believe if I ask for your help you will give it to me, if I ask for faith you will give to me, cause Jesus said all that asketh receiceveth, I thank you again, in Jesus name I pray Amen.
These are things that help me get through the day. I pray they bring you all comfort and peace, seek and God and you will find him. Jesus wouldn't lie to us. Also, these songs bless me and bring me comfort and encouragement during the storms of life. Be blessed everyone, Barbara
Hey all! I love Horses! Love working with them. I applied for kind of a temp. position as a stable hand as these are larger Stallions. Beautiful horses! I was suppose to start next Saturday at 7:00 to be trained and I just get a call saying they're having problems and won't be needing my services! Damn! I just can't get a frikin' break! I was not going to get rich but, it's work. It's some extra cash! I could sell Jet's to private companies or dig a ditch and I cannot get a damn job anywhere! Does someone need a honest reliable dedicated person who can do anything? A personal assistant? someone to take care of there property, babies, animals, helicopters, anything? I'm having a moment and I'm not liking it! My soul is weary with prayer...first time I ever felt that way! Not doubting my Father in anyway as Faith is all I have besides my family....which I cannot support! Where's the help!? I play drums, I'm good! Heres a pic of my Ludwig kit. Any touring rockers want a drummer who's life ambition since 3 has been to play the drums for Jesus? I'm cheap!
Feel better today.Made a desision to try to live more like my Jesus.Tired of all my BS.!!! Looking at all my blessings insted! I am blessed to have children! I am blessed to be alive today! I am blessed to have the word of God to strengthen me and give me hope in such a hopeless seeming world! I am blessed that God forgives me,although he owes me nothing,sinner like i am!!! Chistmas is not our Birthday after all!!! Its Gods Birthday!!!
And this is what i will tell my children this year.Gods love inspite of our failiers is enough presents for us...God bless You All!!!! And i pray if your children recieve no presents this year....That they only grow stronger in his grace and get blessings that the world cant ever give them!!! Tell them the story of the lil drummer boy!!!for christmas

I am greatful that i can give my children a christmas this year! However, someone very near and dear to me is not as fortunate,........my mother. My mom is raising 3 grandchildren on a fixed monthly income. As of December 1st, the government cut her check 120dollars. Not only does she not have enough to pay the rent for the holidays, but the added pressure of giving my neice and 2 nephews a christmas! So if you are fortunate enough to be able to assist someone, please consider helping my mother! God bless, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!!!!!!!
just wanting to post that i am feeling blessed right now, no particular reason, just feeling at ease. i love my prayer time, although i have no set time its all the time, whenever i feel the need to or to just talk. and everyone will be in my prayers as i also thank our lord for helping me feel at ease and not so stressed and sad today. have a blessed night all,
My daughter stephanie is going into 12th grade her final year of school, her final year of youth and innocense. She has been in avid all the years of high school school and her avid class got an award last year. She wants to attend Berkley or the performing arts college in the bay and I am positive she will grab all her dreams. Recently my daughter has been on a quest to find fame with music. American Idol, IPOP, Proscout most recently the voice. Well I am proud to anounce my daughter found her true calling. SINGING IN HER CHURCH CHIOR!!!!! Now her church has a band, she will be in the band and the chior. Stephanie and I had a long talk about putting too many things on her plate at once. It always led to something suffering and I told her this isn't a thing she can pick up and let go. She said of course she decided fame can wait she has college to plan and a church chior to sing in. My daughter has bible study, service and practice for chior to fit into her schedule. This is so fantastic to me she has grown into a very positive young lady who is into church and school. I know stephanie will suceed musically, she knows who to say "thank you" to "OUR LORD". My daughter has a style about her and she is very pretty (as you can tell from her picture I posted). She is perfect and a 17 yr old with all her qualities is hard to find. I'M SO PROUD TO HAVE MADE SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON!!!!!!!!
i am a 23 year old newly wed and i am struggling with paying my light bill. i recently lost my job in feb. 2011 because i went to my hometown to see about my dying uncle, not knowing that you cant take bereavement for anyone other than the immediate family ... i was at work went i first received a call that the doctors didn't think he would make it through the night, so i immediately asked a manager was it okay for me to go home. as soon as i got home i called the greyhound station and bought a ticket online to leave for MI the next morning. during this time me and my hubby was not speaking to each other, so when i cried through the night he did not console me, which at that point i asked myself did i rush into this marriage. with no time to worry about did he care or not i began to pack everything i thought i might need. as soon as i arrived to MI the first thing that was on my mind was to get to the hospital. as i walked into his room i broke down in tears and began to thank GOD that my uncle was still here with us. i dont think our family had ever been hit so hard. a few hours later the doctor came in and said that it would take a miracle from god in order for him to live. at this point everyone broke completely down... it went from trying to have faith to fighting, literally... it was just to much to handle. i decided to call my job and let them know the situation and request a few more days off. the manager i talked to said that i would have to take an LOA (leave of absence) if i need a few more days. being that this was my first time taking an LOA i didnt exactly know how to go by doing this. i asked the manager and she said that when i get back in town that i would need to fill out the LOA form and also have a doctors slip and that the LOA has to be approved. she forgot to tell me that everyday you are out on the LOA you have to call in. a week later i returned home with everything the manager said i needed. before i went to my job to turn everything in i decided to call to see if the manager i had spoken with was on the clock. when she answered the the phone she asked who i was and who i would like to speak with. after i had told her that i had returned and that i had everything i needed to return to work. she immediately said " Don't you know that you got fired yesterday" i felt as if i went into shock. the next day i called the store manager and asked him if we could sit down and discuss what was happening and why. he told me to come to his office between 7 and 8 oclock, he also said that i wouldnt be speaking to him but to the manager that i talked to about the LOA and another manager. when i got there i was nervous, upset and frustrated. we all went to sit inside of the office and they began to explain to me that i cant take bereavement for my uncle that it had to be the immediate family, they also said that i didnt call in each day that i was out so they didn't know if i had quit or not. i explain to them that i told her (the manager that told me to take an LOA.) that it was my uncle that i was going to see about and that if i couldn't take bereavement for him why didn't she let me know this the very first time i talked to her about it. she sat right in front of me and lied to my face, she said "yes i told you that you had to call in everyday". I know for a fact that she didn't because it she had thats exactly what i would have done. after about an hour of convincing the two managers that i really didnt know about calling in everyday when on LOA they both said that it was my own fault and that they were sorry. I asked about unemployment but both manager said that when its
your fault most likely they will deny your unemployment. i began to tear up thinking what am i suppose to do, this is the only source of income i have. i ran to the bathroom to wash my face because i didn't want everyone to know what just happen. i left out of the bathroom with my head held high as if i had just gotten a promotion and it worked no one had notice that i had been crying, some of my coworkers had even said a few jokes and i had to pretend to laugh to stop from crying. Now i am currently unemployed and i am struggling trying to get back on track. one thing that i am glad to say my uncle is still living and talking not walking just yet put soon he will. No one can put an expiration date on someone else's life
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you prayed yesterday and today...you are in the minority because you believe God does hear and answer prayers.
If you can read this now, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
I am grateful that I got through another day. My body is hurting mostly because of weather. I am tired of being homeless. Filled out a bunch of rental applications. My husband is in jail on trumped up charges. I miss him. I am blessed though. I have been able to stay at my pastors home so I am not out in the weather praise God. I still would like a place of our own and my life back.

There were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,but God kept me sane. There were times when I thought I could not go on, but the Lord 'kept' me moving. At times wanted to lash out at those whom I felt did me wrong, but the Lord 'kept' my mouth shut. Sometimes, I think money just isn't enough, but God has helped me 'keep' the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc. When I thought I would fall, HE 'kept' me up. When I thought I was weak, He 'kept' me strong! I could go on and on, but I'm sure you hear me! I'm blessed to be 'kept' !
This year may have been very tough and difficult for you & your family as well as others. Do not let it or any one detour you into giving up on yourself and your Dreams. Let The New Year 2010 be the start of a great and blessed new begining. Form my family & close friends to yours we all pray that your life will be forever change in a positive way! GOD BLESS YOU ALL,EVERYONE!
My name is Tommy, I've been blessed with a 9 year old son whom I love dearly. I live in Texas and I really need someone to help me with prayer, finances, and a job. I lost my job in June and my son and I are on the verge of being evicted from the house that we live in now. I've applied for job after job and no one has called me back in months. I don't know what to do. Every utility bill in my house is in disconnect status. My husband is incarcerated and my sons father refuses to pay child support. I don't recieve any type of government assistance due to the fact that I am disqualified because of a felony conviction that I recieved when I was 17 years old, I am now 30 and I need help. I don't have any type of income to handle my outstanding bills, buy food, fix my car, or buy my baby toys for christmas. can you please find it in your heart to bless my situation. I am willing to work. I have clerical skills and accounts recivable/payable background. I want to be able to sleep at night, knowing that my son has a roof over his head and will have a swell christmas memory. the fact that his father, and step-father of 5 years are both incarcerated really hurts my situation more. and I pray that my son will not be scarred for life from this hardship that i'm facing. please help!
In July I was in an accident and fell three stories. I am blessed to be alive without disabilities. I did suffer a back injury to my spine. Two weeks later I was back in the hospital with blood clots in both lungs. The medical bills are over the roof. I do not have insurance as my mother is unemployed. I am a college student and it will be 2010 before I enter the work force. I do not want these medical bills to distroy me before I get started in life.
LET THEM GO! BY BISHOP T.D. JAKES.... Current mood: blessed
There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.
Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.
You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!

I have so much to be thankful for that it is humbling. Sure things are not perfect, but I have a home, I have healthy children, I have a loving husband, and I have wonderful friends and family. On today I can honestly say that I am blessed beyond any an dall money. I can say that my blessings out number my hardships, and I hope for each of you that read this the same. I hope that you can pause and reflect, and you can discover the blessings in your life.
It is so easy to become consumed with the difficulties that we forget our blessings. We should not do that. Take a moment, pause and count those blessings. They are many and abundant if we only open our eyes to see them.
Hello my name is Gayle,I am a 31 year old house wife I have been married to my wonderful husband Joe for almost 12 years
I take care of my mom due to a stoke back in 2000 and in may of last year she was diagnosed with diabetes when she almost fell in to a diabetic coma
I cant work because I have IBS which in turn caused me to become agoraphobic (which is a fear of leaving my house) I have had this problem since I was 16 and was unable to finish school,I even had to have my wedding in my front yard.
I love to help people whether it is through donations (which am not able to do as much as I would like) or helping them find ways to make money online or just as a friend to chat with.
I am getting a paypal Christmas found together so I can do Christmas for my family this year (since I have not been able to do any for the past 2 years)and thought if I could just get some people to donate $1 or $2 maybe I could do a good Christmas..so here I am asking that if any of my friends on here could help out I would greatly appreciate it God Bless you all
also in closing I would like to say I am doing odd's and ends on line to make a little extra money as well,and am looking for active referrals so I can make a little more if you are willing or know someone who would be willing to help in this area that would be great
I am so worn down. Sometimes I wonder will it ever end. I work 7 days a week on two jobs, love my two kids and take good care of them and yet when I get my pay I still have to decide who gets paid and who doesn't. I usually just take a deep breath and hold on to the thought that some day it will get better. It just seems like lately everything is ganging up on me at once. To make a long story short: My gas has been shut off and they want the full amount to turn it back on which is $963.00. My electric is scheduled to be shut off next Tuesday and that's only because I called and begged them to give until then as I would have no source of heat since we are using electric heaters for warmth. I live in the Mountains of PA and it will drop to about 30 degrees tonight and my children and I will all sleep under the same blankets to keep warm as the electric heaters don't do much when it's this cold. I am limited to working only where I can walk to because my car has been in the shop since last June. I don't even entertain the thought of getting my car until income tax time and I hope the mechanic doesn't sell it in the mean time. I could go on and on, but I won't because I am just greatful that you are reading this. If there is anything you can do, anything at all please know that it will be greatly appreciated. And also please know that what ever you do for me will be paid forward in kindness to someone else. God Bless you!
Hi, I am 40 years old, I have four wonderful children, 9,14,16,17. Up until 3 months ago I was a stay at home mother, then my husband whom is a contractor started making less and less money, so I was fortunate enough to get a full time job even though it doesn't pay very much and the hours are terrible at least i can put gas in the car and groceries on the table... but I can't pay the mortgage and other bills that we have accumulated, all of which are becoming seriously delinquent... I am trying so hard not to be depressed and I know that things will get better, I just don't want to see us loose everything my husband has worked so hard for us to have.
blessed
