Please pray for my husband and I. Through your prayers and our hard work, we have been able to open our own business where I work every day and my husband has been able to get his boat fixed right and has been able to go back to commercial fishing. Though our business has been open for months, we literally started with nothing, no money to invest in inventory, no money for deposits on electric and water, no money for advertising, etc. NOTHING. We spent weeks working in the building with no electricity or water, in over 100 degree heat, to move all of our possessions from storage into our (at the time) soon to be new store. We sold anything and everything we could to raise the money to pay for the electric and water deposits. We are open for business but every penny we have made has had to go right back into the store to keep it going and getting new inventory & merchandise to sell in it. We are struggling to pay our bills every month. I know that for a new business to be supporting itself & paying it's own bills, in this short of time, is a great accomplishment in itself and doesn't really happen that often. So I am SO VERY THANKFUL, SO VERY GRATEFUL, & APPRECIATIVE for that. Now I just don't know how to get to that next step to where the store's not only supporting itself, but supporting us and our home as well, without the money to buy the inventory that we need to get there. So please pray that a way will present itself, please pray for me to have the wisdom to know what to do when it does. Please pray for me to have the strength, the energy, the will, and the knowledge to make it successful and able to support us, help out our son, any family member or friend that's in need, and be able to employ someone who desperately needs a job and can make a difference in their life. And pray that our store will benefit the people in our town and give them something they need and somehow make their lives easier. I thank God for bringing us this far and pray that we can make it the rest of the way very soon. In Jesus name, I pray and ask for your prayers as well. Amen!
