Personal Prayers Requested

For the past week, my whole heart and soul has been focused on a dear family friend and the loss of her beloved son, Joseph Wilcox.

For a moment, though, I’m asking for personal prayers for my own situation. I have been cutting costs as drastically as possible. Dropped my newspaper delivery, cut my long distance from my phone bill, cut my car insurance from full to liability, and several other things. I am eating crock pot meals that I made and froze. In mid-September, when my contract ends, I will go from contract TV to just local antenna.

However, life still continues to move on. About 11 days ago, I had to get all new tires because the ones on the old car were showing steel in the inner edges of the treads. I still must pay for those, as soon as possible.

Additionally, the cause of the wear was a bad alignment. When my SSA came in yesterday, I did finally get an alignment. However, during that, they found I need tie-rod work to the tune of $600 or more. They said I can hold off for a few months, but it still looms, after the tires, and after my every-month shortfall of $400.

This weekend, I must deal with the leaky pipe under the home. Hopefully, if I do this now, it will be relatively inexpensive. And I hope to replace my five ceiling fans in here before we hit the 115 degree days because it will keep the AC costs down.

I can manage to keep the faith but I am not stupid enough to think I can do it alone. I would love a few silent prayers from any of you with the time and desire.

Down the line, I might have to sell my mobile home and car and go into an affordable living apartment IF I ever hear of one without a pest infestation. That seem to be a chronic problem with those buildings, from what I hear through my grapevine. What I’m saying is that if I need to change my circumstance, then I will change them. Even that, though requires the timeframe for the sales of both home and car, and meanwhile I must live as well as I can.

So, my dear friends, I am not destitute, but I am asking for some prayerful support so that I may continue to see God’s plan for me.

 
Father, please hear the prayers of my friends on my behalf. Guide me as you always have. Lift me up before I fall down. And bless these friends abundantly, beyond their expectations.
