Not sure where to post this, but could ya'll pray for my husband to find work soon? He lost his job last week. And I guess, while you're at it, maybe you could pray for his salvation too? Thanks.

One thing I've learned over the years of job losses is God is working. He's using this new direction to bring closer to HIM. So yes I will pray for you but know that God already knows where his next job will be and when you get there you're eyes will be all on Him :-)

Since my dad died, he left my sister and I his house outside of the Smoky Mountains. It is a beautiful house and land on a mountain. We currently live in a gated community on a golf course
and a rural setting to garden, hunt, line dry the laundry, and let our sons run around on a mountain is so awesome
. My husband and I would love to buy my sister out and move to the house. But, God has to do three things for us to move:
1. Get my husband a job in the area
2. My sister has to want to
3. Our current house has to sell
God can do everything and we trust Him that if it is His will, he can make it happen. I'd appreciate your prayers!

Hi everyone,
My family is dealing with some pretty severe financial issues at the moment. Several years ago my parents were out driving and felt that God told them they were going to own a specific piece of land. They talked to the owner about selling it but he was not interested. Seven years (last August) the owner died and the land went up for sale. My parents sold the house they owned then at a loss (they had an interested buyer after having it on the market for over a year) and sold the travel trailor they owned at a loss (once again they had been trying to sell it and then had a buyer). They bought this land knowing that my mom would have to go back to work in order to pay for this house, but since they felt that God wanted them to have this land that He would work it out. They moved into the house in November of last year. I moved back in with them (after graduating from college) in December. Since then, they have been going backwards financially, and very quickly at that. We have pondered this and that solution and the two options we have come up with are these. Either my dad can live and work 2 hours away, coming home on the weekends, and my mom can work full time, leaving me and my young teenage brothers to manange the household (they are in school and sports and I am also working part time)... still just making it financially. Or we can sell the house, and perhaps buy a smaller house on another piece of the original "land" they felt God wanted them to have. I think we really need to sell the house, but this is very hard on my parents, especially my mom. It seems like an impossible situation (there are even more complicating factors) but I know God has a solution. We would all appreciate your prayers. Thanks so much. joychild

Here's an update:
I never told my sister that I wanted to buy her out of the house, so imagine my delight when she
JUST
called me to say she wanted to sell my dad's house!! And she would love to sell to me!!
We have a possible renter for our current house!!
We just need a job for my husband!

Well here I am again asking all of y'all to prayfor my family and I .Financially we are very tight .We pay about $ 1,ooo.00 a month in child support (though that is about to change within a few months ) for dh's two girls and have huge medical bills even after insurance from a couple of surgeries that had to be done.Anyway dh and I had been praying for some time for the Lord's direction as far as finances.We live very frugally and simply but 2 plus 2 just doesnt equal 5,if you know what I mean. Well the dh who is chair of the trustee s(along with the elders at our church ) decided that the cleaning ladies had to be let go due to the fact that they really werent cleaning anything at all .Well dh was offered the job of cleaning the church at night because the elders know something of our financial situation,but he just didntsee how he could do it as he works all day as a forklift technician and has several customers and then he is a Stephens Minister ,and trustee chair and finance coordinator at church plus he has now agreed to take over Streetwise Ministries within a couple of years. As you can see he really doesnt have a lot of spare time on his hands.So after praying about it I asked dh if I could clean the church at night after I put the children to bed.I just really felt that as his helper God was saying I should do this and dh agreed as long as I can physically handle it .
So to wrap up all of the rambling tonight I will leave home between 9:00 - 9:30 to go clean our church from 4-6 hours.Did I mention our church is huge, built for about 1,000 members though we only have 300-400 , with a large school in the basement .I will then come home ,nurse the baby ,and sleep for a few hours before getting up at about 5:30-6:00am to start my day with our children.So.... I am really asking for some prayer here as I will need an extra measure of grace to physically handle this . As usual I know you all will pull through with prayers on my behalf as I prepare to be a helper to my husband in this capacity. Also I am asking for prayer for dh and the children that they will sleep peacefully at night (I will do this 6 nights a week ) as I am usually the one that cares for them at night if they need me.Thanks in advance everyone and sorry for the long ramble.

Morningglory here. Thank you so much for your loving spirit
. I am continually amazed at what God can do with a cheerful heart. I will be praying for your family, but I already know that God will bless you, because your price is far above rubies.

I posted this on another thread involving a financial situation. IMO the book I mention in this post could be helpful for your financial situation. This is my opinion and free advice with no obligation. I can tell you this that it helped me, and I do not lose any sleep over financial matters anymore. Are financial matters above God's power, absolutely not. He is able to deliver you any way He sees fit. I do feel that this book has helped me fulfill my responsibility to be a good steward of what God has given which helps me sleep much better. HTH!

Thanks Kansas Guy.Dh has actually read and put into practice much of what is in the book by Dave Ramsey.We live very simply and frugally and no we do not "worry" about our finances but we also feel that as Christians we are obligated to pay off that which we owe ,in our case over $25,000 worth of medical bills.Also the child support at $1,ooo a month is just quite alot of money but it is an obligation . We really felt like cleaning the church was the Lords direction in helping us to pay off those medical bills and and not wonder if we will have enough money to make the rent payment and electric payment.
Anway I just wanted to also say thanks for all the prayers ,the cleaning is going fairly well,yes I am a bit more tired than usual but so far so good.

That is so amazing ! Your prayers must have been heard because I am amazed at how much I am looking forward to those hours of absolute quiet and peace in our big empty church at night.As a mother of six" absolute quiet and peace " have not been frequent in my vocabulary if you know what I mean
Anyway I now have several hours alone to commune with the Lord while doing something he directed for our family.God is once again so good ( even at midnight when I need some caffiene pills
)

I really appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers for my family and I! My DH has prayed for the past two years about moving away from our family, paying off debts, ect. Dh has decided that we are moving to Washington State. Our house is listed for sale. He has a few job prospects but nothing definite. This is a huge move for us...clear across the country! I would love to move before I officially start school, I have 2 fifth graders, and two younger grades. I'm praying not to be a hindrance in anyway to the Lord's will, and for all the right answers when it comes to telling our parents!
Thank you!

Prayer warriors, man your battle stations.
This is not a drill. This is the real deal.
This is the story:
Young woman, early to middle thirties, September 11th, 2007. Her house burned down. The mother and two children. Homeless. Destitute. Father died last month. Because of this tragedy, she has had to leave her place of employment. She needs all and everything to be lifted up to the Lord. She has no family in this area. Is staying at a temporary shelter.

Bumping Duke's request for prayer. This dear Mama has lost everything and is staying tonight in a shelter with her little ones. Pray for a better situation until housing can be found.

I don't
think
this is joychild.
We know her through dh's work. I learned today after speaking with her that she has had to take temporary leave from work while she sorts out the details, but she is still pressed to get matters settled.
We are looking into helping her by caring for the children while she is at work. Hopefully, we can find a way to get them housed somewhere other than the shelter until she can get into an apartment.
They lost everything in the fire, except the car. All of her bills are currently due. I don't have details about sizes & etc., but expect to speak with her tomorrow evening. She sounded scared and stunned by everything that has happened. I could hear the chaotic sounds of the shelter in the background. Pray they get through this night ok and that God sends provision for their needs. The children are 4 and 5 years old.

I will try to compose this without the tone of irritation that I'm feeling right now...
Basically, my dh and I just moved across country 1700 miles from our home, friends, and family to help his grandpa (and eventually take over) with his music business. This is, in a lot of ways, a good deal for us, because, of course, we would get the entire inventory of the store, essentially at no cost. There is a lot of inventory. Also, the business is well established. He's had it there for over 40 years. People know him, and know he keeps low prices..... too low
He told us far ahead of time that we'd have to raise prices some to "make it". He's 88, so for the past, oh 20 years or so, he's not needed the income from the store (yes he still works at 88, it's crazy..
) because he's had his pension, and social security for himself and his wife. So, he's purposely kept the prices REALLY low to give people a good deal. The prices don't need to go up a lot at all, but what we've come to realize, is, there are lots of things he pretty much gives away. "Friends" come in, and get a really good deal, often at almost a loss to the store. He also often mis-quotes, and finds out later he should have had the price several hundred dollars higher, and just goes, "oh well".
He told us that HE would raise prices as he's showing my dh the ropes, so that we would be able to make a living. BUT, he hasn't. Over and over he's mis-quoted, given things away, etc etc. He will not be confronted on anything, he just acts like he doesn't hear or walks away. Soooo, now my dh has the stress of trying to provide for his family down here with grandpa pretty much making it impossible, it seems. We did do well the first month, because several pianos sold, but that's not necessarily a typical month.... Grandpa thinks it's all ok, because he says "he will make sure we make it". That is NOT what my dh came down here for. He is his own man and does not under any circumstances want someone else just handing him money.
Now we've learned as we're starting to hash out how all this is going to work (how we're getting the store etc) we're learning that it's not just something that we're taking over so much. Basically, Grandpa has 2 kids (sons) and a total of 5 grandchildren, including my dh. He's into everything being completely fair across the board. So, he's got a house, a cabin, and this business. The sons get the house and the cabin, one each, and since dh is "getting the business" he has it in mind that we would "pay off" each of the other grandchildren for their part in the business?
I guess this is supposed to be over a period of time. But, somehow, out of our income, or? from the business, we're supposed to be able to give large chunks of money to the other grandkids so that they have an equal share.
Dh's parents are down here (for a couple of weeks visiting) trying to help us get settled and hash out this whole process etc, and basically what they're running into is him complaining about the way dh does everything. Grandpa is a complainer (he's not saved) and literally probably spends 1/3 of his day, or more, just complaining about one thing or another. His wife, who has alzheimers, is generally the brunt of this, but if someone else comes up, you can bet he'll find something to complain about them for. Or, the other drivers, or paying taxes, or the war, or, or or. Dh and I figured he probably complains about him to whomever will listen, since he does this with everyone else, but of course, he never will tell you anything at all to your face. So now, dh's poor mom is having to listen to this tirade of negativity about her own son. It's all silly stuff, that shouldn't be a big deal. I could go into it, but I've already gone on and on. I guess I would just ask for prayer on behalf of my dh and I that we would not grow embittered by all this. It's very aggravating. My MIL was just telling me about all the negative stuff grandpa was saying about my dh, which I don't appreciate at all. I personally probably won't mention it to my dh, because it will serve to do nothing but further stress and aggravate him. I'm guessing his momma might tell him though, so please pray for dh that he won't become bitter and angry etc etc. He already is pretty angry. Grandpa has done misc. aggravating things lately that has sent my dh home hopping mad. Please pray for me to know how to handle those situations with my dh. It's hard for me not to react in shock and sometimes fear to the level of anger my husband sometimes has toward Grandpa. I certainly know not to side with Grandpa, and thus alienate my dh, but what beyond that? Any words of advice? I think it's possible that we are down here to witness and minister to grandpa and his wife. Please, please pray that our hearts will remain soft toward them and that we would be wise to the Holy Spirits leading in all of this. *sigh* please just pray if you think of us. I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt God will provide for us. I honestly don't worry much about that. He has ALways provided, and I believe He always will. I think our Lord is building character in both of us, I just ask for prayer that we will grow through this and not let it tear any relationships apart.
Thanks in advance everyone for any advice, prayers or thoughts.

Okay, this sounds like a complicated thing....but here is a suggestion, just not sure how feasible it is because Grandpa is already 88 years old.
Some family owned businesses that go to only one child/grandchild take out a life insurance policy on the current owner. At the time of his death, the insurance company pays the non-inheriting family members a sum of money. Unfortunately, at your Grandpa's age, you likely won't be able to find a company willing to work with you, but it's something to consider.
Handing over family businesses can be tricky. This will likely be expensive, but I strongly suggest you talk to an attorney or accountant about the best way to do this. There are likely inheritance taxes involved and a bunch of other paper work that needs to be signed before Grandpa dies so that there are few family squabbles later.
He's into everything being completely fair across the board.
ummm...I've seen several estates divided up, and have yet to see everyone come away with the feeling that it was fair.
But it is something to strive for.
You're family is in my prayers.

Thank both of you!
It doesn't look as though there's any way to get insurance for him, without it being like more than 500.00 a month. If we were going to do that, we could just save up that money to "pay him off"... but, thank you very much for the idea. I did look into it, and that's what I found.
Fresh is best... Thanks for the ideas. I think prayer is going to be a big big thing for us right now. Dh has really, really been praying about it, as have I. I'm finally starting to get used to the idea that God will reveal the answer to him and not I. I've had a lot of practice in that lately.... like learning we were moving here in the first place
We've been going over various courses to take, and I guess it's just going to come to a head soon as we hopefully get to go to a lawyer and hash out what this all needs to look like legally.
We're thinking we will have to buy him out, which is fine, but it's going to have to happen over a long period of time (there's probably150,00 worth of inventory), and it will have to happen, at least to some extent on OUR terms. If we continue to do things on his terms, we will not only NOT be able to save anything to buy him out with, but we will also not be able to pay our own bills.... most likely. We need to be able to have a decent and fair mark-up on the items we are selling, and we need that to be done consistently. He told us BEFORE we moved here that this would happen, but in 2 months, it has not.
So, if we did find some way to buy him out, and fully take over it now, it would be very hard to have him still stay around to feel needed, because he would continue to under price everything. *sigh* As you said, he does not want to be told anything, nor does he want to change. Soooo...
You're right, "we should never have done this!" is not going to work. We both feel God led us here for a reason, and we need to finish it out.
I'm certainly doing my best to support my dh. I'm learning a great deal through this, so that is positive. I'm prepared to stand behind him, no matter what decision he makes. Sometimes he has a hot temper, so it can be hard to keep my peace, but I mostly have been. It is hard not to let his anger, or frustration etc bog down the whole mood of the home. That's something I really have been working on. I'm primarily a very positive person, so I try to keep a good outlook, even if I'm not "sugar coating it" to him. At least for me I try to keep a positive and joyful mindset. I did notice the whole thing got to me the other day (he noticed too) and I just wasn't able to smile and enjoy things for a short time. Thank the Lord I'm better now. God pulled me through, and I'm back to supporting my dh, instead of him comforting me
Thanks for the line about striving to be like Sarah.... that's definitely a good point, and something I for sure need to keep in mind and practice.
Thanks so much for the prayers... please continue to pray as we face a very very financially poor time in our lives!

From a book I read:
" Family difficulties are merely new opportunities for ( you) to fulfill ( your) goal of being the woman God wants you to be."
Also:
" Satan tempts us to focus on our rights instead of our responsibilities. In God's system our focus is to be fulfilling our responsibilities not insisting on our rights."
" When we stand before God he's not going to ask us if we received everything we had coming to us. But he'll reward us for how well we fulfilled our responsibilities."
" We yield to Satan to criticize each others character and selfishly meet our own needs instead of devoting ourselves to developing our own character and meeting each others needs."
Ro 14:4 and Phil 2:3

I only have a second and this is a LONG story, so I will make it SHORT and sweet. We have prayed for years about adoption and my husband has felt like it wasn't the right time. Recently, he decided that he wanted to adopt from Brazil. We are involved in a church plant there and just have a heart for the country that God has brought about over the last 10 years. (LONG story there) Anyway, over Christmas we were able to spend time with a man and his wife that live in a small city in the northern part of Brazil. He is a government official and he is in charge of, you guessed it -- adoptions! (Among other things). They stayed in our home for a week and were thrilled we were interested in adopting. They got us the necessary paperwork to get started on and we were planning to be on the slow track and possibly bring a child home in the next year or two.
Well, you know God's timing is not often ours. Today, I get a call from the lady and there is a young mom in Brazil who came to the small orphanage there in their city to give up her baby girl. Through a conversation and shared pics, etc.... this precious lady has decided she wants to give the baby to us!
I am in shock!! My husband doesn't even know yet and I have no idea how this is going to turn out! We haven't done ANYTHIG with our paperwork. I spoke with a homestudy agent who said she could get it done in 6 weeks, but the problem is that INS doesn't grant many visas from Brazil. In her words, "unless you know someone to pull some strings." Well, my first thought is, yep, I know Someone to "pull some strings." So, I'm not really worried about that, if this is our little girl, I've no doubt God is in the "string pulling" business.
I would appreciate your prayers for direction for my husband. I have always wanted to adopt and of course for a mommy to hear that a young lady wants you to raise her baby, my emotions say "of course, let's go!" But, we want only God's will. Please pray that my husband will know if this is our little girl and then if it is, that we can get everything we need together and get over there to get her home. If she is ours, I want to be the one raising her!! Our friends there may be able to take her home with them, so she will not have to be in an orphanage, but still, I want it to be me!!
So, please pray! Thanks.

Thank you Khix. Update, we have decided that we are moving forward with this! I am very excited! We are keeping in mind that we still do not feel 100% from God that this is our little girl, but we do feel that He wants us to move ahead with the process. That said, the only thing I can figure is that (1) this is our little girl or (2) God knows that my husband and I are horrid procrastinators and He is "spurring" us to get the ball rolling, so that when He does bring forth our child, we will be ready and not scrambling! Either way, we are moving on! The adoption attorney tells us that we can have our homestudy and other necessary paperwork in to the INS in 6 weeks or less. Then, the hold up will be that INS rarely grants visas from Brazil and that because of where we live we have to use the Miami INS which is the most backed up in the country from what I understand! So, obviously, it is in God's hands and not ours! But, that is as it should be! I would appreciate continued prayers!

WOW!! Awesome situation you are in.
I will certainly be praying for you. A book that I would recommend, that talks about an international adoption under some difficult circumstances, is "Fragments of Faith". It is written by Gerald Sutek. ~sorry, I wasn't able to find a link to it~ Many KJV bookstores carry Bro. Sutek's street preaching books, but this is one about he and his wife's personal life. It's worth trying to find.

I'm sorry for not updating this thread sooner
.
This little family still needs our prayers.
Right now, the mother has been fired from her job. It isn't clear that it the employers had justification in ending her employment, but the union representative can no longer reach her by phone.
The little girl has been sent to live with the maternal grandmother several states away. The little boy remains enrolled in public school. The mother is seeing to relocate to the grandmother's state and be reunited with her daughter there. Duke & I haven't heard from her since she was let go from her job.
There is a spiritual battle here. The mother is struggling with depression and a sense of overwhelm. Poor relationships seem to find them. Pray for protection of these fatherless children and that the mother will seek God's will as she moves forward.

I know this thread say "Please Pray" but I wanted to share some praises if that is OK. This winter has been very hard financially. This is not a new thing, as construction is a seasonal business, and we try to set stuff aside for winter but something always happens and the reserve is gone. We have been very careful with our money but it does not seem to stretch very far now-a-days. I have hardly been going out and the Lord has graciously let me NOT feel cabin fever at all this year. Usually I am chomping at the bit to get out and about with the cold lingering. That is the first praise.
The second praise is that my husband I have have been learning a lot in God's Word for ourselves. This has caused a slight problem with my husband's family and our church (made up mostly of family) but my husband has not been detered.
The third praise is that I had mentioned that we were leaning towards KJVO and that all I had was a NKJV--we have been seeing a lot of changes that the NKJV makes in verses to make the Bible say what the masses believe! Doctrine has been "hidden" for years because of these changes and mainstream "churchianity" is blind to this. Well, a wonderful couple here on 7xS sent my husband and I each new KJV Bibles! They arrived today and they were not cheap! My husband and I are both touched.
The fourth praise is that today in the mail someone sent us (anonimously) $150 in gifts cards to the grocery store! I just started crying. We have not gone grocery shopping in MONTHS and have been making do with what we have. We borrowed a little from our boys last month just for eggs, milk and bread, but other than that we have had slim pickings. This is in time to buy a few extra things to my our oldest's 9th birthday special with cake and ice cream.
I just wanted to share this. I will post these in the 10 ways God loved me today as well. CJ

Yes, praise God! He really is good to us! My dh is in construction too so I know how it can get this time of year. He always provides though!

Not sure if this is the right spot, but I applied for a new job today. It is better money and better hours. Right now I do pest control and am gone way too many hours during the summer. And am way too slow in the winter. This new job would be straight 40 hours a week. And the pay (yearly) would be the same.
Please pray for favor. I would trust you guys praying for me more than most people I know.
Thanks, and God Bless.
