[__ Prayer __] Bad Situation

[LostSoul]

....As of late....

My husband lost his job. He has since been trying to find one, and rent is due in a couple days. We are afraid not only that we will not be able to pay it, but that other things will not be able to be done. Food is scarce in the kitchen, bills are piling up. At the present I am hoping to get my drug tests done soon and begin working myself, even so though....that will not be enough for myself, hubby, baby, and the father-in-law to live on.

Especially seeing as we have not yet begun to take steps to move into a larger place. So I ask with the holidays coming up and jobs being as scarce as they are....that we are kept in your thoughts and prayers.

In light of all this I will likely not be on for a while. Amongst other things. Hope you all have a blessed and truly amazing Christmas, Hannakuh (not sure about the spelling there, sorry) and New Year.

May God Bless You and Thanks Again.

Update:

God answers prayer. Hubby is signing paperwork today for his new job. Fortunately the last paycheck of his previous was just enough for us to make rent. I too will hopefully be starting work here soon....otherwise certain assistance we had been having some issues in application for, came through.


Thank you for any thoughts and prayers that were given. My hubby and I did not expect such an immediate response from God, but that just goes to show our faith has still much room to grow.

May God Bless You

Jesus is awesome! O Yeeaaah. O Yeeeaaah. :D

Isn't it marvelous when we find out He was just waiting for us to ask? And PLOP He puts our request on His express delivery route.

God is so good! Know the feeling with my hubby, and God was so quick to answer prayer for both our hubby's Danielle. I just so thankful our Lord hears our prayers and the prayers of our brethern.

With the blessings I have had, a little rain has come. My job will not be pulling through as quickly as I hoped. For my clients will not be changing companies for a couple more months. This is a bit of a set back seeing as I am not going to be paid but with a little love from God, I think hubby and I can make it now that he has a job. If prayers could still be offered so that perhaps I may have patience in this matter, it would be much appreciated.

Thank You

May God Bless You

You will be in both my prayers and my thoughts

Unfortunate Update:

Hubby lost his new job due to them releasing some of their workers. So now we are once again back in the same position we were a short time ago. He has already begun to call some people he has applied for jobs for, and may have a possible interview Monday. Please pray that this opens some doors for him. I too am job hunting, for a part time job that I can keep until the time the baby comes so as to help us get by.

Any thoughts and prayers given would be much appreciated. Thank You

Praying for Gods' blessings for you!!

I pray this every day....Keeps me in touch with God and reminds me of how we should pray and treat others.

"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name\
thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is
in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses
as we for give those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
the evil one- for thine is the Kingdom, and Power and
the Glory Forever!! Amen.

This is the Day the Lord has made; let us rejoice & be glad in it

*Sigh* Feeling a bit discouraged. Neither of us have jobs yet. Rent is due here soon. We have a little money...but not sure we are going to cut it this time like we did the last time. Applying for any form of assistance we can get until we are back on our feet, but not sure how well that will turn out. Baby is still doing good and working to make sure it stays that way.

Please continue to pray. Been using my folk's pc for net.

I'm praying for you two. My sister is in a very similar situation with her electrician husband loosing work due to the economy, and they have three boys age 8, 2 1/2, and 9 months. Keep your faith up, God will provide when His timing is perfect :yes

Another Update:

Rent is due in a matter of weeks. No job yet....so from the looks of things hubby and I may very well have to move in with my folks. Our job hunt continues. Both of us are desperate for work. So that in any case we can prepare for our baby. On top of this....the hubby and I are faced with the difficult task of putting his father in a home. Regretably due to his unhealthy ways of living which are a danger to himself and others, we fear for his mental stability. So we do this during this time as well wanting his needs to be met. This is all weighing rather heavily on us....so I ask we are kept in thought and prayer.

May God Bless You

I will keep you in my prayers. It must be hard and I wish you both the best on finding a job and getting back on your feet. Temp services are a good way to find work quick as well as fast food places, its a step down but its an income. May God shed light on these bad times for you as well as your husband and keep that baby in good health. Putting his father in a home is probably the best thing to do right now. God bless all of you.

Oh dear Danielle~

I am so sorry not to have seen your post before.

May our Heavenly Father grant you and your hubby favor with authorities ~ and in your decisions may He guide you with His good and solid word. I know our Father desires that we be enabled to provide for our selves and for our families. Surely Lord, all these things and people are in Your hands. May our God provide work for your husband quickly that fully supplies your families needs. Should He be working another way, may our Lord direct you both clearly, and grant you wisdom and understanding in all your ways.

May our Father grant the opportunity for your family to reveal their love for you three as they assist you thru this time. May their hearts concern for you be eased by the opportunity to help you.

Phil 4:19 And our God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. :heart

May your gentleness be made known to all thru this difficult trial, and may you find the strength in Christ you require to wait on Him, and rejoice in the sovereign work of our Lord.

In the name of Jesus I ask, amen.

Update Again....

Well...after spending some time trying to get some assistance for the father-in-law...the hubby and I were rather disheartened to find he not only had a friend do his Social Security for him online, but that he NEVER finished filing for Medicaid. So now the hubby and I are faced with leaving him in a homeless shelter. It is as if the man never really tried to live again after his last divorce. The hubby and I just do not have the strength anymore to try to live for him.

My hubby broke yesterday and after some anger, tears, and perhaps a bit of silent prayer....he laid things down for his father. Which was not easy for him to do. Seeing as his father has done nothing but unfortunately mooch off of us during his time living with us.

Both of us perhaps hoped for a lot without really realizing the direness of his mental, emotional, and physical state. For you could say we believed that the three of us would be taking care of everything together. Rather than the two of us trying to take care of him and everything else.

With a baby on the way the hubby really felt bad about doing this....but we are going to turn him loose. We have tried everything else from grabbing applications for him, inviting him out, and more....to find nothing but depressing responses from him. Seeing as it will take longer than we can afford to get him help...we are at wits end. About to lose our home and what we have we just cannot fight for both him and ourselves anymore.

This is really tearing us up....but it seems there is just nothing left for us to do seeing as in the weeks to come we are preparing for the worst for that is regretably where things are headed. My parents are more than willing to take the hubby and I in now that we have talked to them...but as for the father-in-law who has not been helping us out....they are rather bitter towards him. Unfortunately...I cannot blame them seeing as a lot of these feelings are shared by myself. My hubby too....which is what saddens us both...but we just do not know what to do anymore and have even gone to lengths to see if other family members can take him in, as well as sought some form of medical assistance but because his dad took his time and did nothing we cannot do anything more at this point.

Please keep him, my hubby, the baby, and I in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank You...

Ill keep praying for you.

I hope everything starts turning for the best.

Good luck and God bless you and yours.

 

[LostSoul]

Well...what can I say? Somebody up there loves us.

Hubby and I both have promising job oppertunities looking at us. Which is great, cause I am midway now through with this pregnancy with a healthy boy! The hubby is supposed to go in for a formal interview and likely sign paperwork tomorrow morning if things go right. So please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Mine is still midway through seeing as I am waiting on paperwork from one of my former employers to be faxed over. Which has me a bit antsy.

As for the father-in-law.....he is still with us....for now. We have a family member who is going to come and pick him up in the next few weeks. Should she be unable to make an appearance I am not sure yet what will happen. Words are not something that the father-in-law and I exchange much, if at all anymore. Mostly due to the feelings had and known to be had on my part. So our relationship is now nonexistant. This well....tragically on account of his living conditions while with us as well as his doing the same thing to another one of his children not that long ago. Forgiveness is a real issue, so prayer is asked for there as well.

Again though....things are looking up.

 

[John]

Very glad to hear things are getting better. :yes

 

[LostSoul]

Another Update.....

Well despite what showers of blessings we have had....there is still some foul weathered rain of trials. The job of which my husband worked so hard to apply and follow up on basically turned out to be yet another of many....no gos. So at the present, I will end up being the only one working. Even so....I cannot start officially until around the 17th due to training required to get myself going on the pay roll. Giving me only two weeks or so to earn rent for the following month.

Without the mention of work related issues involved....I am a bit uncertain as to if I will get the hours needed or not to make it. With the additional stress of the father-in-law who only now has begun to do anything....regretably much too late to salvage anything....stress is at an all time high again.

This too with my hubby's W2s still NOT in.....*sigh*

So I ask that hubby, baby, the father-in-law, my family, and myself are all kept in thoughts and prayers.
