lol. I am. I have about... $5.26 to my name right now and I get paid on Friday of NEXT week. lol. And that check is going to rent. But I donated to TBN because I believe in what they are doing, and I asked God to bless that seed. Guess all I can do now is pray, have faith, and wait patiently. But more prayer would be great! Would you guys pray that I have enough money to help me survive? I don't have any food and I'm kinda hungry, and I'm almost out of gas. lol. Help me by praying please. And bless you either way.

Thank you. :embarasse

I will pray for you SilentHero. I know others in this same situation as you are with finances.

"Give us this day our daily bread"
 
I understand what you are going through. I lost one of my jobs, the one that paid the most and with the economy and jobs being so tight right now it's hard to find anything. Thank God one of my neighbors is a tiny old lady who loves to cook way to much, God bless her heart!
God always provides, even when we don't see a way.
I'll be praying for you sister, God bless!
 
Aww you guys are wonderful! <3:embarasse I still have my job thankfully, but it's tough to get hours right now. Even though Target's business is going well, they are cutting our hours like crazy. I can't pay rent with a paycheck for only 30 hours, and go to school! lol. IT seems like when I consider applying for a second job, that something is barring me from doing so. And then when I apply anyway (keep in mind I have a good work ethic so my job app is pretty awesome lol) I never hear anything back. And I get the feeling that I'm not suppose to. But then my mom is like "Well find a new job or something." Thinking that I am just too lazy. *sigh* I love her though. lol. Anyway, something I heard on TBN was rather comforting. A preacher said "God is your provider." And he's right. Then again Paul encouraged to work to earn your food. So maybe, show God you are willing to work. Just cause it's right... honor him in all that you do.. and he'll do the rest? Wow, that's a lot of faith. I know he's real, but for some reason it's hard for me to maintain faith. It's not that I doubt he CAN do it... It's more of WILL he do it? But God honors his promises... so the answer is YES! OF COURSE HE WILL! But still, doubt loves to hang around. lol. Eventually though, I'd like to be able to move mountains.. LITERALLY! lol. I could be like an "X-MEN" and dress like a super hero... AH! There goes my artsy side. lol. Sorry everyone. Good night. I am SO sleepy.:shade:

Hey I'll be praying for you. That must be hard. :) Message me anytime if you want. I'm not the wisest but I'm pretty funny. lol. Atleast I could give you a smile. :D
 
My boss says that we shall not suffer a financial crisis because we are a financial crisis, If it wasn't us he would work much more better, I know he's telling no truth but I must tolerate such a behaviour because jobs market is very Bad a decade ago, I thank God and pray for every thing and hope things get better but I really feel comfortable when I thank God for everything.

Oh wow that must be hard. My bosses annoy me sometimes but they aren't that bad. I hope things get better. I've been learning that as well. As I thank God for things I start feeling much better.
 
Financial Crisis

Hi, I just signed on here and read your post .. and my heart does not have to go too far out to you since we are both in the same boat, but maybe this will help: Apply for foodstamps, I did and was approved very quickly and I get $200 per month since February 2009 which is great and helps me alot. Had I not done that, I would be flatter broke then I am headed for .. hope that helps :) Keen

Your Avatar even looks hungry! No Offense but I know God has a sense of humor and won't be upset with that.
I remember the days of Ramon Noddles but then I did'nt pay my water bill and well, they were not as tasty dry. I sent both my boys through college on those tasty morsels.

God knows your plight and He may be waiting for you to make some decisions in your life, think about what those may be. And, I'm sure He would'nt want you to starve because of TBN...maybe they can wait until you get back on your feet, or something in your stomach.

You are in my prayers.
 
thanks ..

I appreciate the "you're in my prayers" ending of y/message ... maybe you misunderstood, I was only trying to help with something that has really helped me. Decisions? yes, well I have already made them and have been pursuing to find work for 2 years and counting, but I have had no luck so far, none, partially because I am in an "undesirable" age group and nobody wants to hire me for that reason ... I do stand on the promises of God that he is my provider, he has so far never left me ... but staying faithful with a rapidly declining bank balance and no job in view is tuff ... is it that for everyone ? ...

I am praying for you. have you tried calling your local salvation army? they have the means to help you with food, rent and even gas and utilities. I tell this to everyone i can. we donate to them and work with them on a regular basis. they can help you, please look them up.

HAHA YES YOU GOT IT!! I'm always hungry... hence the cute Domo-Kun. And I agree, God does have a sense of humor. Jesus was pretty hilarious in the book of Matthew. hee hee. His responses were borderline sassy without being sinful. I love it! lol. Anyway, thank you very much for your encouragement. I sincerely appreciate it. :tongue-animated::tongue-animated:

What a minute, while I shake my head and see if my throat has been cut! Sorry if I offended you, that wasn't intended. God knows your plight better than you and he knows your future outcome too and that will be based own your decisions and what you do. I like the Salvation Army response that you got, have you tried that? I am not embarrased to admit one of my college sons was encourage to use them frequently; it was a good lesson in humility and how God's helping hand works, he even joined their ranks and became a participant.
If I have wronged you, I trust you can find room in your heart to forgive me!:friends:

Erm... did I miss something? I wasn't offended silly. lol. Why would I be offended by what you said? I wasn't trying to be sassy or imply offense. Jesus really is pretty funny. Obviously he's smart, but when you really read his responses it's like he's saying "duh! Haven't I explained this already?" And don't pray for patience unless you are absolutely ready for the trials. Some of the trials are like God laughing and saying "How do you like them apples?" lol. I'm sure that's not really what he says though. But I can't help but laugh when someone I obviously get annoyed with heightens their annoyance levelx10 that same week I ask for patience lol. I really was just agreeing. I am sorry to have given you the impression that I was offended. And I love food, hence I'm always hungry. Domo-kun is a popular character in Japan. I was hungry when I made this account, and he looked like the right the kind of avatar so bada bing bada boom.And what else... um... God always provides yeah! I agree! Just pray for me if you will. The Salvation Army isa great idea. I always feel like I have to be more needy. But currently I think I might be... lol. Anyway, really, thank you for your encouraging words. I meant no offense nor did I take any. :shock:
 
uh oh, I think I may have replied thinking it was me. Sorry guys I'm still getting use to this thing. :embarasse
