Hey guys,

Well Satan is striking again. Just got a medical bill that I was told I wouldn't have to pay for 3500 dollars. That is due in three months.

I have to move out of my home in three months as well which will be about 4000 dollars. So that is 8,000 right there.

I also have an ER visit that I'm sure will be hitting me soon, I do not know how much that will be.

And to cover living expenses for three months is 6,000 dollars. I'll be lucky to get the 6000 from work. Maybe, I will.

So all in all, give or take, I need 16,000 in three months starting this month (which means I only have 2 weeks to get about 3,000 dollars).

I do not know what to do. I ....I won't be able to do it without God's help and major prayer...I have no hope aside from faith and that is wavering right now. I want to cry and I want to run, I want to give up. I have been in situations to where I have no food, and almost kicked out of my home. I do not want to be there again.

I'm also angry cuz people then assume its because I'm mishandling money and stuff. But that isn't true. I wasn't paid for work for about 4 months. Its my career so I didn't want to quit. So that is about 8,000 dollars that is owed to me, plus my commission so I have a little over 10,000 dollars owed to me along with my regular pay. I may not see that 10,000 for a while or if I do it will be in increments. I need 16, 000 now....sigh* Just when I though things were turning around I"m back in the mud.:bang::bang::bang:

Can you negotiate with them about having no money? What do they expect you to do? Sell your organs? I am sure people are reasonable about that. Or move to another country with public health care. :p

As a person who is dealing with similar billing issues + lack of money. I shall definitely be praying for you. *hug*

What's going on with $4k to move out of your home? You've gotta be looking at some location requirements there or something, because I'm in Los Angeles and there are still plenty of places cheaper to move into than that. Large family, need that Tokyo atmosphere, what's necessitating that?

As far as the medical stuff, why did you get it when you were told you wouldn't have to pay it? That's something you should take up with the hospital/medical center and your insurance people. Investigate that before you automatically send in money that you may not have to.

As far as living expenses, that's including your rent, right? If it is, and your next place is similar or lower in cost, that's going to leave only the deposit for the next place. When you move, you can rent a storage unit to hold your stuff, and it'll only put you out for a night or two. It's less convenient, but cheaper than holding two rents for a month of moving. Alternately, you could see if you can do a day or two overlap, pro-rated, but you'd need more help moving in a short period like that.

As far as the $10k owed to you, what are the circumstances of that? What's holding it off?

well satan definitely enjoys attacking us when we are just are recovering from his last attack. He sees us getting back up again and thinks let's tear this person down again. I'll definitely be praying for you. I can't much else but give you a verse:

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble - Psalm 46:1

Well i'm not going to go into the 10k owed to me. Really I'm not upset about it because there are exenuating circumstances.

However, I will call the hospital about maybe letting me pay it off in monthly bills.

As for moving out, I live in Palm Beach Gardens. When I move out, I will need first, last and security as well as furniture as I have none and am borrowing from my roomates. It is not as simple as you may think it all is.

Please just pray.

Praying for you.

Aww. Come on. You sound as if everything that doesn't go our way is Satan's fault. No, it isn't.

There is a story about a man who travelled to a country via horse. Unfortunately, it died in the middle of the journey, so he had to walk the rest of the way. But when he arrived, the country was just destroyed by war two days ago. If his horse didn't die, he too will be killed as well.

Now, similiarly, we may not know the outcome of the event of our life, if an event didn't or did happen. What event is consider blessed? What is unfortunate/cursed? It is all up to your own interpretation.

Praying for you guys on this.....

With all due respect...who are you to judge me. If you are not going to pray for me or offer encouragement in a tough trial in my life...then please do not bother posting.

I do not have to justify my beliefs to you, if I feel that this a trial, yes a test of my faith, or if I feel that Satan has a hand in it, (Thinking of Job here), then what is that to you? Who are you to say that my trial is less or worse than someone else is? I did not claim it only stating that this trial is hard for me. Please do not post if you are not going to comfort someone who is struggling.

For those of you that are praying, thankyou. For those of you that have been through my tirals in the Depression thread and Lust thread. Please continue to pray for the struggles I have. For this could trigger my depression as well, but God is keeping me strong, even with something as daunting as this. Please know your prayers are helping for God is also giving me peace.

For the medical stuff, well I wasn't going to do it but my friend/doctor said that it could be a tumor so I had to get two MRI's of my head. He said that he was going to take care of it and apparently, he couldn't. I know he didn't do it purposefully and I had to have the MRI's, luckily no tumors.

I am sorry if I offended you, but that post wasn't a reply to your topic. I didn't say whether the so-called trial is hard or not, just that events in our life happens. Afterall, life isn't about what happened, but how we deal with them. I may pray, but I cannot make empty promise since I don't knows what will happen to me in two hours.

While I think your wording is a little rude, SnEptUne, I think you do have somewhat of a valid point.

Regardless of what your situation is, Kunoichi, do realize that trials and problems in life are what makes us grow. Good things can prosper out of bad times.

Nonetheless, I will still pray that everything works out in the end.

I'll be praying for you too (: And I can understand where you're coming from. My family came within a hair's breadth from bankruptcy some years back; but we barely made it through thanks to God. Just keep faith and remember He has everything under control.

It's all in a matter of time Things will get better Just believing in that and you'll be fine I know that sounds vague (very vague) right now, but it's like MSP said,"everything will work out in the end."

And as for what Kali said, it would be wise to call up the hospital. See what's up with them. It sounds so wrong for them not ask for so much in such a short time And if they don't comply, get lawyers involved if need be u_u That may mean more money out of your pocket, but there are some out there that work with you for free.

I'm sure things will work out.. You already know I'm praying for you girl

I understand Sn and all of you...

I understand what trials can do, just frustrated having to deal with it at the moment.

It's alright If you need to talk, you know where to find me Just keep faith up and everything will be fine I know you prolly hear that all the time, but in these types of situation, faith is something we all need

Money is so frustrating. It makes the world go round, but it's so hard to come by. I'm not in similar circumstances, but I did have to stop working to take up an internship. I prayed that God's will is done and that He will help you.

I'm praying too!
