I am asking for a lot of prayers....Tomorrow I am finally taking a scarey step into the unknown with my 7 yr old boy...we became homeless last February due to loss of job and that led to losing my car..My daughters fiance's mother, who we both share a grand daughter together took us in her home but it wasn't a very healthy situation....a very negative environment that sucked me in and made me stop praying and furthered me away from God. I noticed nothing was going right, I applied for jobs but never got one it seemed like anything I did to start over my life had failed....I became so depressed and miserable that I just stopped living....I just existed...In June I noticed how I stopped praying...so I decided to pray again and asked God to put some people in my life that will help me without judging me...the same day I posted something on face book...i noticed two comments from 2 of my best friends who I grew up with but haven't seen in almost 30 years...we ended up getting together 3 days later and they took the time to listen to my homeless, jobless situation in a very negative home....I told them how I was looking into a family shelter but the "other grandma" said that wouldn't be a good idea and would result in me losing my 7 yr old boy since I am not his birth mother...even though I raised him since he was only 6 months old and the court granted me permanent guardianship. So I didn't pursue looking into the shelter. I mentioned it to my 2 friends, Sue and Colleen and they convinced me to get out of that negative house and start looking into family homeless shelters...I did....I found out they would never take away my child because they are here to help out families and get them back on their feet....so I started up my relationship with God again and kept praying for his help....I realized he put my 2 friends back into my life for a reason...to get the help I need by going into a family shelter....so tomorrow morning I am taking Hunter and taking a giant leap of faith into the unknown ( shelter ) and I know that God will be there to catch us on the other side...please pray for me and Hunter...for me to get my job back in the laborers union, a car to get there and housing that will go by my income...and for good people to help me and Hunter get our lives back again...thankyou!

I have three daughters...24,22 and 20. My 25 year old is expecting her first born daughter any time now and I can't wait!!! But her boyfriend of 9 yrs. had started getting into drugs (opiates) last year. He's in denial and needs treatment before something bad happens to him...like overdosing.
My 22 yr. old daughter's boyfriend is selling the opiates and now my 22 yr. old daughter is really addicted and also has psychiatric problems which I tried to help her all through her teen years with no luck...her boyfriend is also addicted as well. She will not talk to me at all because I confronted her and her boyfriends drug dealing and addiction...she says that she no longer has a mother and it's killing me.
I have 9 yrs. of clean time from opiates (heroin) and I need all the prayers I can get right now...It kills me to see my daughters going down the same road I went down! I don't want my daughter and grandaughter who isn't even born yet into an addicted father...and I don't want to lose my daughter and her boyfriend to an overdose!!!! Please pray for my family..I don't want to lose them. Thankyou..Barbara
