Ladies, I hope I can count on your prayers!

I have recently started a successful online business after several months of part-time and temp employment, but it's seemingly "too little, too late" and despite extremely careful financial planning and execution, I just simply can't pay this month's basic expenses (rent to start with). I have a financial advisor who has been *wonderful* and even he is amazed at how far I make very little stretch, so I have been assured time and again, my financial choices are not at fault (although I keep blaming myself for it all).

Will you please pray that God's will is revealed in this situation?

Right now, the only thing that brings me peace is that my son and I are together, there is no outside childcare involved except for a friend who occasionally watches him for short periods (I also watch this friend's daughters so it's more of a social thing for the children anyway!).

And there is peace in knowing that my business is successful. If it weren't for going INto it financially behind, we'd actually be very far ahead right now.

We just have no options of where to go or what to do if I can't pay the rent, let alone everything else upcoming.

We are praying a novena for this and another situation. May I humbly ask for your prayers as well?

Thank you so much... and God bless...



UPDATE: I just dropped the laptop on our carpeted floor and am working with exactly half the screen. The blessing is that the computer itself still WORKS. I just can't see more than half of anything.
I just keep saying, "I must be humble. I must be humble. I must be humble. I must be humble."

Absolutely, I'm praying! You may want to post in our financial thread in the sticky...there I pray daily with others, to Our Lady of Perpetual Help for financial needs.

I sincerely appreciate everyone's prayers. Thus far, we will make it through the end of the month - yay! But then there is the fact that the next month starts in a week...

I just need to stop worrying about tomorrow and focus on today.

Right?

I'm going to take the afternoon and just do something fun with my son and not *worry*. Sundays are always crazy days for us, so perhaps I can go into a bit more peaceful and start our week out on a good note.

Thank you all!
