well thanks for those who are praying for mom and my finances... mom is doing somewhat better and has walked a little, talking a bit better without as much confusion, but has been moved to a nursing home and she really hates it, and feels victimized and abandoned. if she recovers where she can walk and communicate well the visiting nurses maybe can care for her at home, but my dad cannot take care of her if she can't walk or take care of herself somewhat.

as for my finances, i am working a temp job for tomorrow, and could possibly be considered for another position - i don't know where, but the agency said there could be an opening i could fill. if i am not delivered by tomorrow things will be bad financially with the debt callers and such, and i have nothing to give them unless and until i can get paid, for the 2 days temp work or whatever other job or income may be out there for me. i have no savings or retirement or unemployment left at all, i have had to use it this last year while i have been out of work (i have been looking and have about 200 resumes out, but no job or income yet; i have tried to do consulting work, started a ministry, and put my paintings up for sale, but so far...). i have some prescriptions coming up for refill, as i haven't had insurance i have been paying cash, but now am living on credit cards for the past two months. they are needing payment for everything now and i have nothing to give them until the Lord helps. it is very stressful. i stand in faith that the Lord will meet all my needs, i stand on the word. please agree with me in prayer, as i have no more "grace" time with debt collectors. i appreciate very much your prayers, and pray for all on here needing prayer.

thank you
God bless

Lilly.....looks like God's putting you thru a test of faith. Are you trying to take this on by yourself or have you given ALL this to the Lord????? Lay ALL of it at the altar. God can handle it MUCH better than we can!!!!!! He knows what we need before we even ask!!! Ask God for a miracle. Get on your knees like Daniel did & pray to YOUR God!! Read Pls. 37:4 Also comes to mind even more so is the story of the widows oil,,in 2 Kings 4:1. Powerful story of a miracle. It tells of a widow that was down to loosing her 2 sons,,,her back was against the wall. Creditors was going to take her two sons,,,thats all she had left,,save a little oil. God multiplyied that little bit in a mighty way,,,to pay off all her debts and she had enough (finances) left over to live on!!! Dont underestimate God! Enough said for now,,,I will pray for you. in Christ..... paul

Dear Lilly, I know the Lord will provide and will honor your faithfulness to Him. A number of years ago, I similarly went through a long financial hardship where I lost almost everything material and had a great deal of debt. At one point, the scripture that kept coming to mind was "I will restore what the locust has eaten." He was faithful in His word. Dear Lilly, for you as well, our Lord will indeed restore what the locust has eaten and bless you abundantly.

Dear Lord, I thank You for your promise to care for Your children. We stand on Your word, Lord and know that You will provide for Lilly. Lord, we know that You have plans for Lilly's life and will bring her to places greater than she can imagine. Dear Lord, I also lift up Lilly's mother and ask for Your comfort to surround her as she adjusts to this time at the nursing home. Lord I ask for Your direction and power in her recovery and for Your will to be done. I pray these things in the name of Jesus.

Thank you all so much for your words and prayer. praise God for your kindness and for being a part of this fellowship and ministry. today 7/19 mom has been moved home to be hospiced - we pray that will work. she has had one mishap today, but praise God she is home for now. the nurse is filling out papers with dad, and i have spoken to him and the nurse after i got home. thank you Lord and i praise your name for your help and those that have prayed for us!
i started a job, and i pray every day in thanks and also to be able to do a good job for the company. i have had a few challenges but am doing my best and pray for God to help me learn quickly and to serve Him every day. i am trying to get a hardship on the mortgage, if so, i am hopeful that i can get caught up on things. my dad has allowed me to use the credit card for a while, even tho that is embarrassing at my age (52 next month); i hate to be a burden on him but am so grateful to him for that. the phone company has somehow come up with a bill that is 3 times the normal cost, and saying that the phone was used for all kind of services that it wasn't used for. they won't back down, so i am praying for the Lord to handle that. there is no way i can pay it. i am so grateful and praise the Lord so much for the job and the opportunity to pay these folks back. i thank the Lord and thank all of you for your prayers. i am blessed, and i ask that the Lord bless you all.
