Needing some prayers and positive thoughts


Posted: Aug 14, 2010

I lost my job back in May, when I was making REALLY good money due to my boss being killed in a car accident and the family not wanting to take on dealing with her company.  I started working for a national and right now, not making the money that I was used to with the other MTSO.  As a resuilt, I  fell behind on my rent and during this period of time, (was asked to renew my lease, but with all the stress, it slipped my mind).  My lease was up at the end of July and 2 weeks ago, I was asked to move out by this coming weekend (8/22/10).  I am still struggling with the new company and having to deal with VR, but the one thing I do have in my favor, is that I am the widow of retired militiary (the VA goofed up on his diagnosis and said that his cancer was not due to Agent Orange exposure).  To make a long story short, I found out that I can get rental assistance, plus assistance wtih my moving costs, etc., through the Red Cross.  I found an absolutely beautiful place today with more amenities and better location etc and for the same amount of money.

I would greatly appreciate any and all prayers that I will be able to get the money together for this move.  I can afford the rent, but just do not have the money together for the move which is 1st and last months rent, credit check fee and the cost of having someone move me.  I am older and have a slight handicap, so getting a U-Haul is out of the question.   Also, really don't have a lot of friends and no family in the area, so that is a tough situation as well.

Again, God does work in mysterious ways and I am hoping that my prayers will be answered.

Thank you

I certainly will pray. (sm) - yochana

I sure know the feeling. I lost my job in June and still havent found anything suitable. I am drawing UE which covers my bills, but not much else. Is there a church that would help you out with moving?God bless you and I know your prayers will be answered.

Well, I live in the Miami area, so "financial resources" are few and far between. This apartment if I can get the financial assistance through the Red Cross would be "my dream home." I am in my mid 50s and have a slight physical disability and it is getting harder for me to climb stairs and most of the complexes here have "outside laundry facilities." For example where I am now, I have 13 steps to go from my bedroom to the living room and then another 13 steps to get to the ground floor, plus about 2000 feet to get to the laundry area. When it rains here, it is like solid ice on the surfaces, so I am always concerned about falling and breaking something (I did a few years ago) and ended up with a broken pelvis.

In the new place, I have a garbage disposal and a dishwasher (a lot of things that people take for granted), but here in FL, without a garbage disposal, you are prone to "critters" if you dont take the garbage out daily. I am also just around the corner from the laundry facilities and it is a covered area, so don't have to worry about doing my laundry when it rains. The best thing, is the fact that it is the same rent that I am paying now, and I have more access to shopping and restaurants, etc., so this place would TRULY be my dream place!!!

I am praying that you can get this apartment. Let me know (sm) - yochana

how things turn out. I can sympathize with your disabilities as my Dad is blind. You just donĂ¢€™t realize what-you-take-for-granted can be a very difficult situation for someone who is handicapped.
Prayer requests in full force now please :) - older than dirt

Well, submitted the paperwork to the Red Cross -- 18 pages all told with the lease, estimate from the movers and help with my cable and electric. I dont have a car and no cell phone so, relatively inexpensive when it comes to utilities. I am on a budget plan for electric so that helps, but because of the work situation, have had to defer two months of bills and of course, I need my cable to be able to work. Just needing EVERY prayer and positive thought possible.

Thanks!!!!
I'm still with you in prayer. nm - yochana

I Have Chosen To Be Positive And Happy.Jul 07, 2017
As a liberal, I was listening to leftist radio, reading leftist literature and watching mainstream TV day in and day out. I was falling into the trap of believing the negativity and really feeling hopeless, angry and surly. A few months ago, I decided to devote one day to listening to conservative radio, reading right-leaning literature and watching Fox. I felt happier and more hopeful. I investigated the "talking heads" on Fox and thought, "Hmmm, these are some very powerful, important and i ...
