Family financial issues

Postby Yuki-Anne » Fri Jan 21, 2011 7:06 pm

My brother James can't find a job. His wife has been able to work part time (like, less than ten hours a week), but they've had to get help from family. He keeps getting interviews but no one will hire. To make matters worse, today, to top it all off, he had an interview in Las Cruces, where my parents live, which ended up not working out. And while he and his wife and daughter were in Las Cruces, their apartment about 3 hours north of their burned down.

Their two cats are dead, and a lot of their stuff got sprayed down with water, so they'll have to go through it and see what they can salvage.

I've been planning for my parents to come visit me in May, but it turns out not sure if Dad's going to have a job through the end of April. So that at the very least means they may not be able to come to visit me. More than that, they provide the majority of my support, so if they don't have any income, I'm not sure what's going to happen with my ministry. They won't know for a couple of weeks.

I kind of want to cry right now. Could you guys be praying about these things?

Aw, Yuki! I'll be praying for you and your family!
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

NIV, Romans 8:38-39.

Am praying
If someone said 3 years from now
You'd be long gone
Id get up and punch their mouth
Cuz they're all wrong
I know better
Cuz you said forever
And ever
Who knew?

Is there a chance another church could help prop you up?

I'm sorry about your brother and your family. This really is this generation's Great Depression.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
--James Arthur Baldwin

Charm is deceptive, beauty is fleeting,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

I will pray about it; if there's anything I can do to help your family out financially, PM me, okay?
