I've got some things going in in my life that are kind of hard to handle alone.
Even though I have family around me. The troubles are going on within me. Physical struggles with my health. New things popping up all the time. Partly I assume from changes in life. However some of it runs in the family.
So I'm hoping to get some positive results and improved health soon

ANNOYED NEEDING PEACE OF MIND

I know there are many others out there in need of prayers.

Right now Im dealing with depression and fear, frustration and health issues. I've kept my emotions under a mask of fake smiles. Trying to stay quiet and not show the hidden pains.
  Tonight however I blew up , not in a dangerous way. But in a verbal statement of if The wrong person gets elected  as President then all help we know from the government will cease. That all assistance of any sort that help people in extremely hard times or life threatening ailment will be left to die a painful death or struggling to keep control of their health with medicines.  As the wealthy only worry about their own kind. The trickle down theory does not exist in their views.  That if he got in I'd move back to my native land. I've lived in the US for most of my life.  However if it means threatening my health just to stay here and make my family happy, it isnt worth it.  I'd either die from lack of drug or spiral into uncontrolled health,
I REALLY WISH THAT IN ORDER TO BECOME THE LEADER OF SUCH NATIONS AS OURS, THAT ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE ELECTED IS TO GIVE UP ALL THEIR LUXURIES FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS. TO WORK THE HARD LABOR JOBS, LIVE ON WELFARE CHECKS, WITH THE LOUSY INSURANCE OR NONE AT ALL. WITH VERY LITTLE FOOD TO EAT. AND IN A HOUSE THAT ISN'T IN GOOD SHAPE. THAT NEEDS A LOT DONE TO IT TO MAKE IT SAFE AND LIVABLE . TO PUT UP WITH ALL THE F*N SH*T THAT WE DO. TO BREATHE IN THE LOUSY AIR IN SUCH JOBS AS MINING OR FACTORIES. OR CLEANING OUT TOILETS . AND SCRUBBING FLOORS. ALL THE THINGS THEY IGNORE OR TAKE FOR GRANTED. NOT BEING ABLE TO USE ANY OF THEIR FINE RICHES HAVING THEIR ASSETS FROZEN AND LOCKED AWAY DURING THOSE TIMES. DRIVING BROKEN CARS HAVING TO PUMP AND PAY FOR THEIR OWN GAS.  TEACHING CLASSROOMS OF BRATTY KIDS, NOT JUST THE LITTLE DARLINGS. GO AND FIGHT THE FIRES. OR HANDLE THE BAD GUYS. BY HAVING TO CHASE THEM DOWN.
GET TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE WORKING FOR AND WITH.
IT'D BE FAR BETTER  IN MY VIEW TO LIVE ON A DESERTED ISLAND SURROUNDED BY FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLE TO GROW IN A GRASS HUT THAT WAS BIG ENOUGH TO LIVE IN . COOK OVER AN OPEN FIRE AND USE THE BUSHES FOR TOILETS THAN IT WOULD BE TO LIVE IN A HELL THIS GOVERNMENT IS PUTTING US IN..
   BUT PEOPLE WONT SEE THE BAD THINGS BECAUSE THEY GET GLOSSED OVER UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. THEN WHAT.? BY THEN THE DAMAGE IS DONE AND HELL'S GATES HAVE BEEN OPENED WIDE TO SWALLOW US UP.

           THIS NATION NEEDS PRAYER. THIS NATION NEEDS TO STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT. THEIR LIVES AND SAFETY. INSTEAD OF AGREEING TO GO TO WAR AND STOP ALL HELP TO THE THINGS THAT ARE WHAT OUR WORK FORCE AND ECONOMY ARE HELD TOGETHER BY.

recent troubles.

During this last week of may 2012 up until yesterday June 2, 2012 alot of pain has happened and a lot of fears made real.

A little boy in my church. Austin age 9 lost his 2 middle fingers of his right hand and mangled the pointer finger . Because of a lawn mower.  The doctors were able to reattach the pointer finer. However the other two were could not be reattached. So sad for such a young boy., who is just growing up and could of been good at a lot of things. He can still do most easily but will struggle with some. 

My own daughter went out for a job interview and job training last week. things were going alright .Until the day they had to go around town. Doing door to door sales.  There was a small group of them. They were to follow exact lines and do it only as the company demands all say or do.

While they were out some of the people didn't like being bothered and shot  at them 3 times. That was enough for me to tell her no matter how much they pay her yearly, DO NOT take that job.

Then yesterday I learned that a younger lady I know in church miscarried her first baby. She had just gotten married back in January. She is in her 30's and that could of had something to do with it, but not always. Although she does have some health struggles herself. I'm hoping if she tries again later on in the year. That it goes better for both her and the fetus. 

Right now the prayers going up for her are to recover fully and feel at peace in her souls as soon as she can.

my friend

I posted earlier that a dear friend of mine was concerned about his father diagnosed with cancer.  They told him it was too far gone to save him. It will only be a matter of time now till he is gone.My friend and his family new strength and the power of prayer to reach out to him.Please keep them all lifted. I'll try to come in and share more soon. Thanks  for doing so if you are reading this.I'm never sure just who is doing so 

jobs & other

American are really suffering with the job crisis/

My daughter and I are both needing jobs. i'd be happy with just a few hours a week. As I cant earn too much, but something that I know I can count on. My daughter needs something full time.
We need your prayers.
I do know many of our loved ones need prayers
**********************************************

There are so many things going wrong in our schools. Children getting killed by other students or getting stabbed.
We need to keep all of them and their families lifted as life goes on  day to day.

update on Tim's mom

Tim's mom

. Tim's mom is basically dying.

She died earlier this month. Pray for healing and peace to come to those left behind

And all those that knew her various ways.

Daughter

My girl is trying to get a job at a bank . As they need some people to work there, she applied a few weeks back However they havent begun doing interviews yet.
We're praying she can get an interview. It would be a way for her to put her marketing degree to good use

     I'm sure there are others out there that need special prayers as well  Keep them lifted by saying a prayer. As God knows who they are and what their troubles are or circumstances at the time.

The Edwards Family

URGENT!!! Rachael Edwards & her family needs everyone`s prayers!!


Although we don't know the actual situation. We need to pray for God to intervene and help bring comfort and assistance where needed.

a little inspiration

 I have a friend that sends things like this to me. He is truly dedicated  to brightening someone day and lifting their spirits by sending things their way. So I thought I'd share some with you

GOD'S LOVE IS LIKE AN ISLAND

IN LIFE'S OCEAN VAST AND WIDE-

A PEACEFUL, QUIET SHELTER

FROM THE RESTLESS, RISING TIDE...

WHEN THE WAVES OF TRIBULATION

SEEM TO DROWN US IN DESPAIR...

WHERE OUR SOULS CAN FIND SWEET REST

FROM THE STRUGGLE AND THE TENSION

OF LIFE'S FAST AND FUTILE QUEST...

 

 

GOD'S LOVE IS LIKE A BEACON

BURNING BRIGHT WITH FAITH AND PRAYER

AND THROUGH THE CHANGING SCENES OF

 LIFE WE CAN FIND A HAVEN THERE!
