As I sit and look at a huge stack of bills, not enough money to pay them all. The interest rates tripled by no means of payment on the few credit cards we have. Lots of people looking at my business website but no one signing up. Our credit has gone into the trashcan.
No one to borrow money from and family members diagnosed with cancer(SIL not knowing what's going on with her-we aren't speaking anymore-her choice, FIL has less than 6 weeks)...what would you do?
I have prayed, still pray and will continue. I have given it all to God, confessed of everything known and unknown to me.
I know we are in the same position as everyone else, used to paying bills, then used to living payday to payday. Now with the world as it is, how does one cope?
I've been on this earth right at 60 years. I know when the devil comes around, I run him off and yet there's no answers. Yes, I know the answers are in the Word, I've looked, I've read and I've sat still to listen and yet, even with patience coming from the Lord, there are yet no answers.
I just need some prayers
Connie Lou

I can suggest you call your creditors, tell them your situation about not havnig the funds to cover monthly min pymts, family medical issues your facing and if you don't mind closing out your credit cards, there are programs you could get placed on that will lower int rates which also lowers your monthly min.
Atleast, you will pay lower on those cc and use the rest for other's. Every financial institution should have a program offered to their members. However, if you do not want to close out your cc, then see if you are over the credit line limit and if so it's possible to get help because you are which help to get back under your credit line. Usually, your cc are suspended for the duration of the program, once you are under and completion of program you will have them reopen for use. In this way you again will lower monthly min, and still work on your credit score as long as you make pymt on time and you will have the extra funds go towards another area that is needed.
Call some of your areas and see if you could make portions of pymts to utilities etc.. I know they are always willing to help, also look into programs that they may provide as well. If for some reasons you still need cash to assist look into the Catholic churches they are so giving and will usually give you a little to cover a portion or the whole bill- utilities.
There are many means that are out there just let down that pride and seek it for one month or so. We all are there to lend a helping hand and God has given us different avenues to do so, you don't take advantage of them always so know that they are there for you also.
I have single parents who have searched in many ways how to get assistance and they find out they are not only for single parents but for anyone who has come under financial cross roads. That was good to know and as you continue to do pray and give it to the Lord, He is faithful and just to always provide a way. Stay positive and know He's your provider and knows your needs.
blessings to you and I will continue to lift you and us all in prayer during this time because I know there are many who are in the same boat.
Increase is yet still ahead press through and depend on God to see it come to pass.

In Jesus' name,
Amen

Heavenly Father,
I ask of you today for strength for both of us to go see Steve's Dad(my FIL with cancer).
I ask that we say only the right things and give honor to Your name Father.
I ask that a spirit of forgiveness be on Steve to release the past concerning his relationship with his father.The relationship has been severely strained since '91after Steve's Mom passed.
I myself have moved on and asked forgiveness, received it for my words & thoughts about his father marrying so quick after the Mom's death. I have received forgiveness about the stepmother being a gold digger.
So many families are experiencing this and I ask for them to let that go and give it to you God.
Even tho we live an hour away, I ask that You provide us with the means to go often so Steve can see his father. I ask that You place the wanting to spend time there in Steve.
I ask that the relationship between my brother's wife & I be healed & restored by You Father.
I ask that You watch over her as she goes thru her treatments for cancer.
I love You & trust You Lord and know in my heart You will work everything out.
I give You Father ALL the honor praise & glory that You so richly deserve.
In Jesus name I pray, amen
Connie Lou
Father, joining Connie Lou in this prayer. Open doors Lord. Open hearts. And may it all bring glory to You. In Jesus name. Amen

Steve got to spend 1 hour with his dad.
We did get the full and harsh explanation about the (sp)squamous cell carcinoma going on within the inner ear on his dad from the R.N. It's very aggressive. In May it was the size of a dime, now it's the size of a half dollar.
Why she told me this I have no idea...The stepmother made it clear she gets it all after the husband dies. It's already set in stone legally. So I was right after all in my thinking.
I didn't blow up in her face, so I had my strength I asked for.
I still have my forgiveness about her being a gold digger. She has to pay for that.
Steve got an email from my SIL, her cancer is in remission! Best news of the day for me. I'll email her about how thankful I am to get the news today.
The one thing I did tell Steve's dad's wife is this..it's not about us, it's ALL about God!
It made me very happy to say that and know in my heart it is so true.
In the days ahead I would like continuous prayer for this all to work out to and to God be the glory.
Without Him, none of us would make it thru anything.
I give You thanks Dearest Father that we can turn to You always.
In Jesus name, amen
Connie Lou

Would anyone else have the nerve to talk & prepare my FIL's funeral with him in the SAME room?
I am just in such confusion about how un-nerving this could be for my FIL to hear this.
"Oh, the nieces & nephews had him busy" was the answer to what was FIL doing while this was going on!
Balognie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know my FIL better than that, even with Alzheimers, he heard it.
I realize that this world has become centered around the almighty$$$ not just now but for a long time and times to come but all I know is when the stepmom stands before her maker...there's quite a bit to answer for.
I can honestly say that since I began praying morning & nite "in the spirit", things are more serene.
I just keep giving it to my Heavenly Father in Jesus Name, cos He can handle it.
Keep prayin' y'all!
Connie Lou
