| I need alot of faith right now.
The apartment we were supposed to go into decided to turn us down today. AND, they are only refunding $100.00 of the money we put down. I'm so upset. If we don't find something in the next 3 weeks, we will be homeless. That is my worst fear. When I was using, I spent 2 years homeless, and I don't want to ever spend another day that way. Especially with a family. It was bad enough just me, but now my kids are involved. Please pray that something we can afford comes through soon. We've been searching apartments in our area all evening and we plan on going out and doing the foot work tomorrow. Please pray for us.

Praying for your housing, NAMommy. I also found a prayer for you. It fits what's going on in my life and I thought maybe you could use it too. Ask the Father Jesus said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you….” In his name, I resist the temptation to be anxious about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything by prayer and petition [definite requests] with thanksgiving I will continue to make my wants known to God. Whatever I ask for in prayer, I believe that it is granted to me, and I shall receive it to the glory of the Father. Amen |

namommy, I know these are anxious times for you. Try to remember to trust in God with all your heart and to not worry. Not easily done I know. I will add my prayers for you and your family to find your way to where you need to be. God is with you no matter what!

Prayers are with you Laurie. As for the refund? If they backed out of the deal, they should give the full amount back.

Laurie, This was in part of a devotion that I received today in my email & it made me think of you. This week's promise: God has wonderful plans for your life What appears bad may be God's plan for good "I am Joseph!" he said to his brothers. "Is my father still alive?" But his brothers were speechless! They were stunned to realize that Joseph was standing there in front of them. "Come over here," he said. So they came closer. And he said again, "I am Joseph, your brother whom you sold into Egypt. But don't be angry with yourselves that you did this to me, for God did it. He sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. These two years of famine will grow to seven, during which there will be neither plowing nor harvest. God has sent me here to keep you and your families alive so that you will become a great nation. Yes, it was God who sent me here, not you! And he has made me a counselor to Pharaoh—manager of his entire household and ruler over all Egypt." Genesis 45:3-8 NLT My prayers are still with you & your family.

((Namommy)) Matthew 6:34 is so my verse for the day. Reminds me not to worry about tomorrow. Im thinking of you and have faith that it will be as it is supposed to be.

Thanks for all the prayers. We looked at an apartment on Sat. and found out yesterday that we have been approved. It's even cheaper than the last place. A little smaller, but the same amenities as the other. this one also has a washer/dryer in the unit. So in some ways it's better. God's will, not mine. Thank you for all your prayers. They work.

| Ha. They said it could take a few weeks for the refund to come through. That's ridiculous, but I'm powerless over it. I feel bad about something though. We were wondering what we were going to do with our dog. The apartment is just to small to take the psycho beagle to. We were hoping to find someone to take him for us. Today, we got a call that my brother-in-law had to put his dog down (15 years old) and he wanted to know what we were doing with our dog since we were moving into an apartment. He has always liked our Bo. I feel really bad that he had to put Ralph down, Ralph was his baby. He treated that dog better than most people treat their kids. But at the same time I'm glad we probably have someone to take Bo. I just wish it wasn't under these circumstances. Laurie
