I hate to be praying for this because in many ways we are spoiled! We have been blessed with so much in so many ways but to be plain and simple in my prayer... we need money! Or at least for the lord to direct me where to go to find a job that will be with in his will and will not conflict with my school schedule. I have been blessed with another chance to get a actual education that will pay well but that will not be finished until MAY between now and then we have a childs birthday, christmas for 3 kids and a wife, huge bills and the eletric bill is due and will be shut off in 10 days...Please pray for God's will in my job search.... thank you...

Praying for you

Meanwhile. Call the elec company. Explain your situation. They can help you. Maybe split the payment in two for one month. Ask anyone you can think of for help. Go to the local church, social services. THERE IS HELP. Please don't be afraid to ask. Don't let pride get in the way. Pray and Im praying for you.

Start calling and getting help. There are people out there willing to help but you have to make the call first.

Forget the spending of money on presents. You don't need them. Get something small for the kids, maybe cook a nice family meal. What matters first and foremost is food on the table and the power on. Christmas is NOT about presents. Its about LOVE. THe kids will understand if you have a family talk. Your wife should understand too.

Look online for any place that can consolidate your bills. They advertize on TV all the time. They will contact your creditors and reduce the payments. There is HELP. You have to be resourceful and God will be there with you..

Hang in there.....Zoey
