I know this pales in comparison to other intentions here...but please could you pray for our financial situation at the moment? We are basically down to our last dime..
Thanks ahead of time!

Mari, this is no good! Praying for you and your family, that something will change in this area, and very soon.

Thank you all for your prayers!

We had a break through yesterday and have some money coming in.

Praying for all of you and for all of your intentions. We are ever so grateful for your prayers and for the Lord's goodness!

We even had an offer from one of the gals here at the forum to send us money.    God's goodness here just amazes me. We did not accept but it moved my heart and I know that God is always providing in some way...

It has been humbling for us to be in this situation. We have never rolled in the money...it has always been a struggle..but never this acute. My husband has been discouraged and he NEVER gets discouraged (so please keep him in your prayers.)

The Lord has taught us to be joyful through all of this. It has again kept us humble. But God has never let us down yet!

Praying for all of the families out there going through financial struggles...especially the dear fathers and husbands!

Again, thank you all for your prayers May the Lord bless you all!

Dear Mari - I have been praying for you constantly. So happy to hear the news this morning. So many of us are in the same situation - and it is such a test of our faith to just trust God minute by minute. I will keep you in my daily Saint Joseph prayers - and especially your husband - it is so hard for them as providers.

Hugs.

Mari, I am glad to hear this news. As many of us have had to do, we have also had to make many adjustments over the past year. But things seem to be improving for us as well. I just have to keep trusting that the Lord will provide for us. And I pray for all of you ladies and your husbands as well. I think it is hard for them when they work so hard!
