God is good

 
What's your take? (click here)

Today, I don't want to help, I just want to spew!

How will I pay my rent? You know what, I don't know, but I know it will be paid, because the Lord doesn't fail me, ever! And if it's not, then he has another plan for me.

I am trying my best to take our hardships as they come, though it's not easy.

This has been one heck of a year.

Not sure , what happened first.

My dog died, after 10years by my side, my best friend, my confidant, my everyday companion. I cried for a month.

Then I was laid off from my job, I loved my job, I felt betrayed, for reasons I won't go into. I cried for 2 weeks.

My elderly mom became very ill and started accusing everyone of trying to kill her and take her money (she doesn't have any money) , she said I poisoned her, she said many things. She is taken care of by my father who has been by her side for 50 years. My father, instead of getting her help, has decided, to go with what she wants. He has ostracized the whole family. I am not allowed to call, my only contact, to make sure they are ok is adult social services, and they pretty much suck. My mother has refused medical care, even if they come to the house, my father is 72 years old, I hope he can handle it. I Love them so much, and it hurts so much. I still cry almost everyday, I have lost them, and I miss them, we were very close once. I can barely go to the store (we use the same one) or I get upset.
Then theres the little thing of, my 20 year old son, who lost his job, just before mom lost her mind. He was living with her, and they kicked him out. So he is home, with no job, and no vehicle , as it got repo'd . I love having him home, and my other 2 boys all together. But financially it's hard.

It was pretty hard, NOW IT'S GONNA BE SURPRISING WHEN EVERYTHING GETS PAID. Because my husband, has had to quit his job for medical reasons. He will have to file for disability. I do have a temp job starting tomorrow , I hope that goes ok, and it might be just in time to pay the rent.

I am not sure , what God has in store for me, but I love him, and I have faith! He always comes through for me and my family. There is a reason for it all!!

Be carefull what you ask for!!!!

 So i had put an add in Craigslist for 2 reasons. 1. I cant afford to buy a tree this year, but we have to have one, so i asked if someone could give us a tree if they were going to upgrade, and i had gotten a respoonce from a lady that lived in a more richy area. We exchanded emails and some conversation, i was very greatful. The dat before i had wne t to the doller store and bought like 6 buck of door covers in Christmas colors and me and the kids had made a tree on the wall, it came out nice, but nothing like a tree, so i told the kids i was going to get a 6 foot tree with all the fixens, but the lady didnt follow through. So that left my children worse off with the thoughts and excitement of getting a tree. :(  I never promise them anything i cant do. So lets be care what we offer.

 I dont think i can pull off full time school, the struggle went from living check to check to WOW, something worse. I love that im learning, even though i feel slower than my classmates...lol But still when i do get it, im so proud. I have left class lots and feeling like these people are not speaking English..lol Finals are comeing in a week. Im late on getting it, but i think it will all come together. We just have to keep going. Soon i will be helping my kids do the same Math im doing now, wont that be a great feeling..

I fight the tears alot.  And smile... Poker face

Cancer Free

The last time my husband went to the doctor the doctor said that all looked good and the only thing he thought was left was the mucousitous (sp?) from the radiation, and he may need to have his lymphnodes removed but to wait until his CT Scan is done.  It has been a hard few months but we feel the worst is behind us.  He was diagnosed with throat cancer starting from his tonsil and he did not smoke and hasn't drank for years.  He has regained his strength and is doing things around the house he has not done for awhile.  It is the day after Christmas and we had slim pickings ( gifts) around the tree but the best gift of all ( besides God's Son- Jesus) was that my husband was healed.  Thank you Lord.  I want to encourage you all to have faith and pray because God is good and he answers prayer if you just believe and have faith in his goodness.  Pam Holloway  God Bless/IN Christ   and God will provide all our needs

About JadasMommy

I am Shannon, a single mother of a beautiful 2 1/2 year old girl named Jada. I became unemployed in May and since my state, RI, is having a huge rise in unemployment rates, I have not been able to get another job. There arent any jobs! I have bipolar disorder and have only been able to work medial jobs in the past so my unemployment benefit, which will runout in 2 weeks, is only $92 per week! I have no permanent address and stay place to place so I give some money to the people I stay with for food, rides, utilities, and I try to buy the bare necesitites for me and Jada. I have been gaining weight because of a new medication and I have no pants that fit me so I always wear sweatpants and look like a bum. My daughter is growing out of her clothes and I have no money to buy anymore. I have been calling numbers for help locally just to find out they are not offering any help this year due to the economy. Rhode Islands economy and unemployment rate is the third worst in the US! I really want to provide some kind of christmas for my little angel. She means more to me than anything in the world. This is her third christmas, but the first one that she is understanding the concept of Christ, and Santa and why we celebrate the holiday. I dont care about getting anything for myself but if anyone can help with anything for my baby girl I would be forever grateful. She is so smart and bright and witty. Everyone I see in stores or public places stops to talk to her and tell me how pretty and smart she is. Thats why I will feel awful when she doesnt have gifts on christmas because people have been telling her if she is not a good girl Santa wont bring her anything. So I really dont want my baby to think she is a bad girl. I have been praying and praying to God for an answer and havent found one yet. But I think this website could be it. I sure hope so. If anybody can help can you please email me and we will go from there? I dont want to put anymore personal demographics on here because you never know who could get ahold of it. If you email me we could exchange phone numbers. I dont have a phone but I could use my sisters to call you. I also have no permanent physical address but I use a PO Box for mail. Thank you for listening, and sorry it was so long. God Bless. Shannon

I just so happened to come across this page in search of help for christmas. I am a single mother of 3 beautiful children that mean the world to me. Unfortunatly, It is so hard to make ends meet, I work full time and I still cannot get ahead. I am really doing the best that I can for them. Christmas is always a rough time for me, I always want them to have a good Christmas but all the bills need paid. If there are any resources that can help please let me know. We are greatful for all things.

Please Help Us!

Hi, I am a married woman with children that has had a very rough couple of months.  Our family went out one evening and my purse and ID were stolen. My husband was a trucker and my job's hours increased and would be more than 54 hours a week. I had to quit because no one would be able to see after the children. Which was fine because my husband worked. About a couple of weeks after that, my husband lost his job. It took us both a month before we found employment.Praise God we started this past Monday (on the same day), through staffing agencies. The only problem is that we are behind and we have a $351.72 electric bill due by May 1, 2007. We have been blessed to get by so far. We will be able to pay you back.We are working but cannot get anymore extension time until we get our first check.Most of our money went on childcare so we could go to work. I have a two year old daughter and I have raised my 5 year old stepson since he was two years old (he was neglected). Please help us...and God bless you all.
