Sometimes i feel selfish cause some people are sick and cant work at all so who am i to complain but the truth is im so tired i cant even maintain my freinds and family relationship ..I am stuck in this vicious cycle of paying bills -work- paying bills work with no room for anything else .I dont even have a car cause i cant afford it and take public trans to and from work ,,.I  just wish to get a break ..I need  to have a  few thousand dollars  so i can have a cushion to use as I will then have the time  to finda  better paying  job or go back to school to get a degree ..Can anyone suggest anything any programs or ways i get out of this trap without going on welfare ..I dont want to do that ..I want and love to work but need to make more money ..right now i work mondays - fri 9-6  and weekends 10-4 ..doesnt leave me much free time and what ever time i have im exhausted ..Help please !

Hi Dee, You have indeed gone through so very much. My heart just breaks for you. I will pray for you. I know for a FACT that God can change one's life around for the best. Get with a good faith-believing, good teaching group church and good positve support groups. Read every peice of 'faith' materials (including the bible) that you can get your hands on. God can bring you out of this. Keep your trust in Him. I know it seems really dark now. I know things seems really impossible. But the things that seems impossible to us are the very things that are VERY possible to God. I am so sorry for the loss of your mom and your sister. I am sorry for the loss of your 'jerk'(hubby) LOL! I've been divorced before, can't you tell!! Seriously, going through a divorce can be worse than losing one through death because the ghost is still walking around. I'm sure you can tell how highly I think of my "ex". LOL. However, I can testify to God's goodnes. I have been married to my present husband for over 10 years. I love him dearly. This marriage is a thousand times better. I am so much happier. God is truly the God of second chances. _______________ L ord, Please comfort Dee in the loss of her mother and her sister. Heal her broken heart. Be with her. Provide for all of her needs. Increase her finances. Bless her with a new car. Bless her with a high paying, low stress job with short hours. Bless her with the support that she needs. Send her companion and a help mate for her. Send someone that will help her, love her, take care of her and bring her joy. Let him do her well and no harm all the days of her life. Amen.

Hi, honey don't feel guilty about being overwhelmed. You have been through alot and God never inteneded for you to have to bear it all alone. For one thing, I think you need to get into a support group, a womand bible study or some kind of womens support group. I know it may sound trifle, but it's not. I started going last year to a women's bible study, (not even at my church) but just the kindness and support i have been shown has been a blessing beyond words. plus other women know of local resources and things in your area that can really help you. Just take that step of faith, just like you did to come here and say, ok I am at my wits end....and share it there and get someone who can look you in the eyes, hold your hand and say it's ok and you are not alone. I am so sorry about the loss of your mom. I just had a miscarriage last week on Monday, and it has been devestating to say the least. But the thing is, God never said we had to go through this world, the joys and pain alone. Reach out, because I know He is reaching out to you...and you are precious to Him.
