| Prayer
I would once again like to ask for prayer from my friends here, if you would please. My family is struggling through some difficult times, and I know the best thing is prayer. The Lord is the only way through the things we are going through. First, my husband was started a new, better paying job, which is a good thing, but it has been stressful because it is a night driving job, (he's a truck driver) and he was never a night person, so it has been a bit scary, as he adjusts. Also, although he is home during the day, he is sleeping, and it is difficult to keep 3 teens, and all their friends quite all the time.. They have been doing pretty well though. We have been really behind on our bills, and this was to be a very good thing, because we have some really high doctor bills to pay, as well as hospital bills, and others.. So things had been looking up, when I got a letter from our home owners ins. They cancelled us, because we cancelled our car insurance with them.. They don't carry people with just home owners, and not car ins.. Not nice of them.. This caused alot of stress, but I finally got a new policy, and everythign was signed and paid for, and now I got a letter saying that they want to do a home inspection.. I don't believe my house will pass right now.. I am trying to get everything fixed, and cleaned up, but I fear that it won't be good enough, there is too much. I have alot of stuff in my basement that shouldn't be there. I have a ton of cleaning to do. I was so suprised, we had everything all signed, and paid for, we thought that we were ok. Now this. We are fixing things, and getting it cleaned up, but since we were so behind on bills, we just had to do things slowly. Now I don't know what I will do, if I get cancelled again, I will really be in trouble with my house lender. I am working on all of this,, and yesterday my oldest son called, and said he is moving home. He's 22, and has no $$. He really needs to do this.. He can go to school this way, or just change his life, and he does need a change. This would all be fine, but not now, when we are already having these issues with the ins. My son needs a ton of help cleaning and moving. He doesn't have many friends left, since he changed his life style.. No more drugs, no more friends. This has been really hard on him.. I really just needed to lay this out, and get some of it off my chest. I know there are much worse problems in this world. But this is really stressful. Almost to much stress at times.. I just want to crawl in bed, and pull the covers over.. I am sorry if I sound as though I am whining,, but I don't handle things liek this with the ins. co. well.. i need the Lords help.. I also needed to get it out. Everytime I try to talk to my husband about it, all we do is argue. Thanks for listening.. Will you please add me to your prayers? Lot of Love, Becky

| God knows where you are going
Hello, Angel: It has taken me seven years to get to the point where I am now, which is I feel completely at ease with tough times because I trust God 24/7. I feel him with me always. He has seen me through some very tough disasters since I got sober 13 years ago, and before I stepped into recovery. I am alive now, which itself is a miracle based on the abuse and risks I heaped on myself when actively drinking and using. God has already been where you are going to go. He knows where you are going, always. He loves you, always. It is up to you to do your work He expects of you. There are no guarantees that life will be easy or that no disasters will happen. Life is a struggle. But if you believe God always knows where you are going and he knows what you need, and you ask Him for help, you will always be fine. |
