I have been laid off since June of this year from a job that I absolutely loved. I haven't been able to find anything, even thru temp agencies. I have two teenage boys at home that understand why we didn't have anything for Christmas, but even our way of ife has changed. I get food stamps and unemployment, but recently they cut my food from 400 a month to 209. How do you feed two grwoing kids on $50 a week, and on 5 week months less than that? I have never done drugs, I don't drink, I don't live life illegally, I don't use credit cards, just simple bills, rent, and utilities, and small car note. Recently I was hit by an uninsured driver and I had just put liability on my car after being laid off. It still runs but it's now totalled and not safe for my kids to ride in the back bc the door will pop open while I'm driving. I have lost out on child support that I used to get bc the boys father has disappeared from the state.
I need to find a good church to go to, but upon several attempts in the area I've run into things I just don't desire to be a part of. It's not that I don't believe, but I do very much believe. I'm blessed with beautiful healthy children, a mobile home that is paid for, I only pay lot rent, and my car still runs. I'm a single mother, and as of three years ago, quit dating all together, bc I was getting nowhere with what I was meeting.
I'm hoping that my recent massive weight gain of 80 lbs in 5 months and severe swelling isn't a sign that something is wrong with me. I can't leave my kids, or be sick and not able to be here for them, but I don't have insuranc to be able to get to a dr and get checked out. I have had an appointment with a clinic in the area since October on Jan 17th that I will go to.
I know that there are people out there worse off than myself, but I just need some help. Thank you so much for your time.

The New Year is upon us now. As I celebrate another birthday, and a new year today, my friend is in the hospital fighting one of the biggest battles of her life. She gave birth on Thursady December 16th, the day after her 4 year olds birthday. The baby had to remian in the hospital due to early birth, ut she came home. She ws able to spend a painful christmas with her 4 year old only to go to sleep that night and have a seizure in her sleep. EMS called she regained her abilities and was able to provide information, but upon arrival at the hospital she seized again, this time not regaining consciousness. She is a fighter and takes no bull from anyone. She is a stand up kinda woman, very strong and independant. She lives her life right, she's a good mother and raises her children well. She is an awsome cook, and homemaker for her family.
Please pray for her recovery and for the family, as the Doctors are telling the family that she has several blood clots on her brain, that parts of her brain have already died. They are saying that she is just too weak for the surgery that she needs and her blood is now too thin. Should the Lord take her to heaven with him she will not only leave behind two grown children, several other children that have impacted her life at some point in time, but also a 4 year old and a new born. She will leave the father behind to raise his daughters on his own as well as her friends and the rest of her family. He will need all of the strength he can get to carry on with life without her. Thank you so much for your time! I hope each and every one of you reading this have a great and safe New Year.

I'm going for a job interview tomorrow with a local towing company. It's not what I'm used to doing, but a new challenge. I love a challenge and hope that I get this. I've been unemployed since being laid off in June of last year. Please send me this blessing of this new job so that I may support my children and myself. I'm doing this on my own without the help of a significant other. I just don't have the time or emotional availability to have a significant other in my life. It's just me and my two children. Thank you for you time.

Dear Lord, as I sit her contemplating what to do next with my life, I find mylsef very alone. I have been Laid off from the best job that I've ever had for two years now. My unemployment is soon to run out with no prospect on a ood job.
I find myself struggling with how I am going to continue to raise my boys. I have been divorced from their father for almost 15 years now and managed to support them on my own since while getting little to no child support at all. Even though we have struggled over the years, I have managed to be able to provide for them. Now, I go to bed everynight wondering if I will lose everything that I have worked so hard to get and keep.
I do not have a significant other in my life and haven't for over 5 years now, so there is no help there. Both of my parents are deceased as well. It's really just me and my boys now.
Lord, I pray that you send me a great job or send me the means to be able to go back to school and support my family.
Thank you for your time,
Amen
