Please pray--either, the well dried up tonight, or something is wrong with the pump...either way, its not good.

This, on top of the financial issues, well, you can imagine. DH had to go take his pre-work shower at a neighbor's house. We can't afford to fix anything right now, even if it is a "cheap fix" of $100 or so (we can't afford to pay someone to come out and look at it, so DH is going to look at it tomorrow morning when he comes home from work. PLLEEASE pray he is able to fix it, or that the well was just "down" a bit, and so when he turns it on in the morning, its going to work...).

A house with five small children, and a pregnant woman...sigh...

Rachel

UPDATE!

The well man came out. For $40, he removed the fried spider that had crawled into the space in between two electrical connections and lost his battle with Mr Kilowatt. We have PLENTY of water, thanks be to God!

Thanks for the prayers...

Now, if only that VA letter will show up...

Rachel

Oh Rachel! Praying hard for you. I have lived the no water with 6 children thing. I wasn't pregnant but had a new baby. I also know what it is like when even $50 is too much to fix things.

You all will get through this. Better times are right around the corner, I am sure of it! Try to laugh, meanwhile, we will all lift you up in our prayers!

Thanks ladies. Remarkably, I am not terribly depressed or stressed about it (believe it or not). I know we have the bills paid, and food to eat. I know that there is an end to it, eventually....

But I definitely can use the prayers...DH is obviously upset and stressed. And things need to lighten up a bit...

Rachel

Check the filter. This just happened to us maybe two months ago and it turned out to be a clogged filter. FWIW.

Praying for you, I know the financial hardship well.

Prayers Rachel...When I saw the title of this post, I wasn't sure if you meant the literal well or the figurative well (I have been praying for your financial concerns)...alas, I see it's both ...Know that I carry you in prayer today.

Praying for you all, Rachel. Also, I second the suggestion to check the filter; BTDT.

Peace,
