Re: Asking for Prayer or Good Vibes for Group Members!

[Guest guest]

Risa,

Very nice name! Boy can I sympathize with you on this one and everyone here

knows about it. Without them, I think I would have been put away somewhere

by now.LOL I don't mean to laugh but once you ever heard the story you

would smile too or throw up your arms or shake your head in shock!

You are definetely in my prayers, my thoughts and I will certainly be

thinking of you every step of your way. It is a horrible feeling to have

everything ripped away from you, kind of powerless, to say the least.

Another moderator here, and I spoke non stop for sometime regarding,

jobs, losing them and getting one and most of all trying to keep the ones we

did get, huh ? We have all struggled with this one and I still to

this day and struggling...but we do not give up.

Here are a few things that help me on a daily basis, well there are a lot of

them, but just know that I am thinking of you and I will send out some posts

and vibes in your direction, I hope they will help ease your mind.

" The strongest oak of the forest is not

the one that is protected from the

storm and hidden from the sun.

It's the one that stands in the open

where it is compelled to struggle for

existence against the winds and rains

and scorching sun - "

- Napoleon Hill -

Yep Risa - Nola and I both (and I'm sure there's bunches others on

this list) have " struggled for existence against the winds and rains

and scorching sun. " This past summer was the hardest of my entire

life financially. Nola and I spent countless hours together on this

old computer - she was truly a great source of strength! I'm still

struggling, although things are a teeny bit better now. I know " this

too will pass away " .

There are still times when I just can't make it through a whole day -

feel like I can't even make it through one hour - so I take it a

minute at a time. I always make it!!!

Affirmations, for me, were a source of HOPE and a way to keep my

focus far from the really negative stuff and on the positive. I

would read, write, repeat repeat repeat affirmations over and over

until they were ingrained in my mind.

We will all make it - the going may be tough, but so are we!!!

Hugs,

Nola, thanks for sharing this (at the bottom) -- that is very helpful

for everyone!

Well, since Nola brought it up (thanks to Risa), Nola can also use your guys

prayers right now -- healthwise, financially, jobwise. Sorry Nola, but I care

about you, and the more who pray, the more power and strength you will have to

overcome these difficulties! May God Bless All of you in your struggles and

trials of life! Love, PJ

Risa and everyone else!

As most of you know, I have been going through some difficult times for

about a three year period. Just recently, the job market started opening up

and I was lucky enough to land a job online as a Medical Transcriptionist.

As you also know, I am basically a " Jane of all trades " and can do just

about anything out there. I am also pretty sick right now, so sick that my

family is begging me to go to the hospital, but I hate them LOL the

hospitals that is LOL I truly believe this is all from stress, which I

really am under a lot of it right now. Well, I thought I would share with

all of you what is happening now.

I am one month behind on my rent and the landlord gave me until the 24th,

which of course was a couple days ago, to come up with the rent. Summer and

I, (Summer is my daughter) both work for this company, she also is an MT.

We were suppose to receive our first check by the 24th and oh ya we did,

however, it wasn't even close to what we thought it would be nor will it

even pay for half our rent. Our next checks aren't due until sometime after

the 10th of November!! The phone was disconnected today, as you probably

heard in one of the posts earlier and the landlord is now filing for an

unlawful detainer " which will put us both on the streets.

Now in just a couple of days, the next months rent is due and of course, the

money is not there. The trouble with being an independent contractor is

that your pay is out one month and then they slap a 10-15 day net on it

besides. So basically the money won't even be around here until the end of

November. My dilemma here is that without a place to live in, without

Internet access all day and night, we will lose these jobs. I actually have

two jobs, one is very part-time. Now I know this sounds like " old hat " and

it is, however, I am not through yet. To top it all off, I am forcing

myself to continue working non stop through this illness. I have mentioned

this before and I know I will be yelled at by every member on here for not

going into the doctor, but I can't do that because I cannot be told, first

of all, that I am ill like this or my body may just give out on me, lol well

its a fear inside of me. I push myself non-stop to get work here and I

think if I know in my heart that something is horribly wrong I may just give

up.

So, here goes: About eight months ago, Summer made me finally go into the

doctor to be checked out for many different things. I have been really ill

for months and months. (Still am) But I cannot stop everything because I am

sick. Well, nevertheless, she told the doctor to check me out for various

things such as " Mono " etc. Every gland in my body and then some, and you

have tons of them, let me tell you LOL but every one of my glands are and

have been swollen (huge) for months. I always hurt all over and I am always

sick. Sometimes I lose my balance just going from my bed to the desk in my

room to work. The doctors did all the " normal routine tests " , but not for

anything such as cancer etc. All tests came back negative. Now I am still

sick, very sick. I am almost to the point where I cannot work for very long

during a day and I must lay down and rest but I just don't have the time to

do this. I know, I know, but I am the only one that is going to help me and

I have to keep going strong or I will lose it all.

Anyways, my other daughter, Tara is in strong belief that I have cancer.

She tells me often that she knows in her heart that is what it is and

believe me she looks at me every time she sees me as if I am ready to go

with my next breath. I hate this feeling and seeing her little face (she is

24 soon) and Summer's face makes me want to keep pushing myself but my body

just won't do it anymore. I would now go to the hospital but I have no

insurance at all and that is all we need now is more bills. Now remember,

if I take the time to even do this, I may lose my job. Then what? I also

have two discs out in my neck and they are bothering me a lot lately,

migraines and numbness and tingling in my arms and hands. Great, now what,

I type for a living!

Also, I cannot remember when Summer and I ate a good meal! We have no food

and no money. We live off of anything we can get through the food shelves

and they only give you a three day supply, once a month, so you can figure

we are not eating at all.

So believe me when I say, " keep your chin up " , " keep going strong and never

give up " and my favorite motto for living is " Don't look back, your NOT

going that way " . Your prayers are greatly appreciated and you are all in

mine, as well. Please, please don't tell me to go to the hospital, I can't

yet, its not my time to relax yet....just keep me in your thoughts and

prayers....Remember, " when one must, one can "

Take care all, you are all in my prayers and good vibes sent to all of you..

many (((hugs ))) Nola

Dear Nola and everyone else --

Thanks for sharing this with everyone here! I know that maybe I kinda

set you up for sharing your story here, and I apologize. But, I care for you

also. And, you never know, just because I can't help you right now, doesn't

mean someone else can't!! I am always praying for you, and sending you good

thoughts. But, sometimes that doesn't seem enough! That is why I'm so glad

that you shared this with everyone here! (Nola lives in Minnesota, if anyone

can help out in any way)

Guys, Nola has been one of our moderators for a long time. And if

you've been around here at affirmations, for any time at all, you already know

what a caring, loving, compassionate person Nola is -- plus she comes up with

the neatest messages!!

So, I'm asking each one of you. If all you can do for Nola, is pray,

then please let's do that for Nola. If some of you can send her canned goods,

or any kind of financial help, I can get you her address. Or whatever you guys

can offer.

I've known Nola for a long time, and she is a very special,

hard-working, wonderful mother and human being, who would do anything for

anybody. But, lately she has had what appears to be a ton of bad luck

experiences back to back. All of us get down and struggle at times, but Nola

doesn't deserve to have so much pain and suffering all at once. I've tried to

help Nola in the past, but am flat broke now (as far as being able to help

financially). I know I may be asking a strange thing here -- but please, let's

as a group, and as individuals, pray for this individual today! Thank you for

caring --

May God Bless All of You, PJ

Risa and everyone else!

As most of you know, I have been going through some difficult times for

about a three year period. Just recently, the job market started opening up

and I was lucky enough to land a job online as a Medical Transcriptionist.

As you also know, I am basically a " Jane of all trades " and can do just

about anything out there. I am also pretty sick right now, so sick that my

family is begging me to go to the hospital, but I hate them LOL the

hospitals that is LOL I truly believe this is all from stress, which I

really am under a lot of it right now. Well, I thought I would share with

all of you what is happening now.

I am one month behind on my rent and the landlord gave me until the 24th,

which of course was a couple days ago, to come up with the rent. Summer and

I, (Summer is my daughter) both work for this company, she also is an MT.

We were suppose to receive our first check by the 24th and oh ya we did,

however, it wasn't even close to what we thought it would be nor will it

even pay for half our rent. Our next checks aren't due until sometime after

the 10th of November!! The phone was disconnected today, as you probably

heard in one of the posts earlier and the landlord is now filing for an

unlawful detainer " which will put us both on the streets.

Now in just a couple of days, the next months rent is due and of course, the

money is not there. The trouble with being an independent contractor is

that your pay is out one month and then they slap a 10-15 day net on it

besides. So basically the money won't even be around here until the end of

November. My dilemma here is that without a place to live in, without

Internet access all day and night, we will lose these jobs. I actually have

two jobs, one is very part-time. Now I know this sounds like " old hat " and

it is, however, I am not through yet. To top it all off, I am forcing

myself to continue working non stop through this illness. I have mentioned

this before and I know I will be yelled at by every member on here for not

going into the doctor, but I can't do that because I cannot be told, first

of all, that I am ill like this or my body may just give out on me, lol well

its a fear inside of me. I push myself non-stop to get work here and I

think if I know in my heart that something is horribly wrong I may just give

up.

So, here goes: About eight months ago, Summer made me finally go into the

doctor to be checked out for many different things. I have been really ill

for months and months. (Still am) But I cannot stop everything because I am

sick. Well, nevertheless, she told the doctor to check me out for various

things such as " Mono " etc. Every gland in my body and then some, and you

have tons of them, let me tell you LOL but every one of my glands are and

have been swollen (huge) for months. I always hurt all over and I am always

sick. Sometimes I lose my balance just going from my bed to the desk in my

room to work. The doctors did all the " normal routine tests " , but not for

anything such as cancer etc. All tests came back negative. Now I am still

sick, very sick. I am almost to the point where I cannot work for very long

during a day and I must lay down and rest but I just don't have the time to

do this. I know, I know, but I am the only one that is going to help me and

I have to keep going strong or I will lose it all.

Anyways, my other daughter, Tara is in strong belief that I have cancer.

She tells me often that she knows in her heart that is what it is and

believe me she looks at me every time she sees me as if I am ready to go

with my next breath. I hate this feeling and seeing her little face (she is

24 soon) and Summer's face makes me want to keep pushing myself but my body

just won't do it anymore. I would now go to the hospital but I have no

insurance at all and that is all we need now is more bills. Now remember,

if I take the time to even do this, I may lose my job. Then what? I also

have two discs out in my neck and they are bothering me a lot lately,

migraines and numbness and tingling in my arms and hands. Great, now what,

I type for a living!

Also, I cannot remember when Summer and I ate a good meal! We have no food

and no money. We live off of anything we can get through the food shelves

and they only give you a three day supply, once a month, so you can figure

we are not eating at all.

So believe me when I say, " keep your chin up " , " keep going strong and never

give up " and my favorite motto for living is " Don't look back, your NOT

going that way " . Your prayers are greatly appreciated and you are all in

mine, as well. Please, please don't tell me to go to the hospital, I can't

yet, its not my time to relax yet....just keep me in your thoughts and

prayers....Remember, " when one must, one can "

Take care all, you are all in my prayers and good vibes sent to all of you..

many (((hugs ))) Nola

Nola, thanks for sharing this (at the bottom) -- that is very

helpful for everyone!

Well, since Nola brought it up (thanks to Risa), Nola can also use your guys

prayers right now -- healthwise, financially, jobwise. Sorry Nola, but I

care about you, and the more who pray, the more power and strength you will

have to overcome these difficulties! May God Bless All of you in your

struggles and trials of life! Love, PJ

Dear Nola and everyone else --

Thanks for sharing this with everyone here! I know that maybe I kinda

set you up for sharing your story here, and I apologize. But, I care for you

also. And, you never know, just because I can't help you right now, doesn't

mean someone else can't!! I am always praying for you, and sending you good

thoughts. But, sometimes that doesn't seem enough! That is why I'm so glad

that you shared this with everyone here! (Nola lives in Minnesota, if anyone

can help out in any way)

Guys, Nola has been one of our moderators for a long time. And if

you've been around here at affirmations, for any time at all, you already know

what a caring, loving, compassionate person Nola is -- plus she comes up with

the neatest messages!!

So, I'm asking each one of you. If all you can do for Nola, is pray,

then please let's do that for Nola. If some of you can send her canned goods,

or any kind of financial help, I can get you her address. Or whatever you guys

can offer.

I've known Nola for a long time, and she is a very special,

hard-working, wonderful mother and human being, who would do anything for

anybody. But, lately she has had what appears to be a ton of bad luck

experiences back to back. All of us get down and struggle at times, but Nola

doesn't deserve to have so much pain and suffering all at once. I've tried to

help Nola in the past, but am flat broke now (as far as being able to help

financially). I know I may be asking a strange thing here -- but please, let's

as a group, and as individuals, pray for this individual today! Thank you for

I live in Anoka, MN (Minnesota) however, as I said before they are all

networked here and you can only get help once a month with food or else you

ruin your chances of getting any help the next month. It is sad, but true.

I plan to go and offer my time when I finally am homeless to help the

homeless out and make them Thanksgiving Dinner. I have done this before and

believe me it is very rewarding, plus I will at least have dinner LOL

PJ,

Thank you for your kind words and your wonderful thoughts. I do realize

that no one can really help as most people are coming out or still in a

similar situation as I am. It sure is a struggle trying to make it these

days. Jobs are opening up though and things are starting to look up for

many people so my hope is that I am next! I sure do need the peace in my

life, that is for sure. To just be normal again, come home from work, make

dinner and watch television at night or just read a book again are things

that many people take for granted, I only wish I had. Someday though, I

think I have been just wishing on someone else's star.

Thanks again! (for ALL your help)

Nola,

I know what you mean. Nola, I feel for you so much. Right now, things are

going so bad for us. For us, we have had rough times since 1999, but right

now is the roughest time we had had. I try to be happy and optimistic, but

I feel like that is a lie. We need $2000 right now or we may lose our

house. Everything is behind right now. We are living day by day. Since it

has been rough since 1999, our house is also needs major repair and when it

rains, it leaks. We had some water damage. That started in 2000 and it gets

worse all the time. Our house is 150 years old and no central heating. So

now it is cold, since we use electric heaters for heating. I feel so

helpless. I have been looking for a permanent job since 1999 and worked in

computers. I got laid off at least four times since then because they were

all limited term jobs. We have 4 people in our family and my husband can be

verbally abusive. He blames me for everything or so it seems. When I left

my job in 1999, everyone said I would be making a lot of money since I know

computers. What a joke! Unemployment is out. So I decided to do my own

business. But that is not working out either. I lost so much

self-confidence and self-esteem during this time. I feel like I have a

nervous breakdown with all the pressures and everything. I joined this

group so I could feel more positive and everything. Your posts have been

great! In my world, PJ and you have been bright spots in my day.

Doreen,

You have my prayers and sympathy. It is incredible how many people in

our country are going through this type of struggle right now. I would dare say

that more people in the group are struggling than aren't right now.

What can I say?! Well, things are " okay " for my family and I right

now -- not great, but not too too awful either. But, there are job layoffs

looming ahead, tons of medical bills, etc. However, I will say this from all my

years of experience --

Thing will get better, they will get worse, get better, and get worse. Back and

forth throughout the years and throughout most of our lives.

There was a time when I was in the same position as you, except for

the old house -- that was another story! -- and things were very bleak, and

somehow things turned around. What all of us need is " hope " -- hope that things

can change and hope that things can get better, and hope that " this too shall

pass! " Even though it might be a little trite, I believe that by using

gratitude, positive thinking, and affirmations -- it keeps that path to hope

available! Those are the tools to get to the hope. And with hope, a person

can go through a lot and endure. Not sure why I felt compelled to share this

with anyone, but it just sorta spilled out. My mouth runneth over .... LOL

I care, and many people in affirmations care, and I'm sure you have

some special family members and special friends that care -- and somehow, life

will improve. Things will get better. We just need to keep believing that!

Many Hugs, PJ

looming ahead, tons of medical bills, etc. However, I will say this from all my

years of experience --

Thing will get better, they will get worse, get better, and get worse. Back and

forth throughout the years and throughout most of our lives.

There was a time when I was in the same position as you, except for

the old house -- that was another story! -- and things were very bleak, and

somehow things turned around. What all of us need is " hope " -- hope that things

can change and hope that things can get better, and hope that " this too shall

pass! " Even though it might be a little trite, I believe that by using

gratitude, positive thinking, and affirmations -- it keeps that path to hope

available! Those are the tools to get to the hope. And with hope, a person

can go through a lot and endure. Not sure why I felt compelled to share this

with anyone, but it just sorta spilled out. My mouth runneth over .... LOL

I care, and many people in affirmations care, and I'm sure you have

some special family members and special friends that care -- and somehow, life

will improve. Things will get better. We just need to keep believing that!

Many Hugs, PJ

Nola,

I know what you mean. Nola, I feel for you so much. Right now, things are

going so bad for us. For us, we have had rough times since 1999, but right

now is the roughest time we had had. I try to be happy and optimistic, but

I feel like that is a lie. We need $2000 right now or we may lose our

house. Everything is behind right now. We are living day by day. Since it

has been rough since 1999, our house is also needs major repair and when it

rains, it leaks. We had some water damage. That started in 2000 and it gets

worse all the time. Our house is 150 years old and no central heating. So

now it is cold, since we use electric heaters for heating. I feel so

helpless. I have been looking for a permanent job since 1999 and worked in

computers. I got laid off at least four times since then because they were

all limited term jobs. We have 4 people in our family and my husband can be

verbally abusive. He blames me for everything or so it seems. When I left

my job in 1999, everyone said I would be making a lot of money since I know

computers. What a joke! Unemployment is out. So I decided to do my own

business. But that is not working out either. I lost so much

self-confidence and self-esteem during this time. I feel like I have a

nervous breakdown with all the pressures and everything. I joined this

group so I could feel more positive and everything. Your posts have been

great! In my world, PJ and you have been bright spots in my day.

RE: Re: Asking for Prayer or Good Vibes

for Group Members!

Nola, thanks for sharing this (at the bottom) -- that is very

helpful for everyone!

Well, since Nola brought it up (thanks to Risa), Nola can also use your

guys

prayers right now -- healthwise, financially, jobwise. Sorry Nola, but I

care about you, and the more who pray, the more power and strength you

will

have to overcome these difficulties! May God Bless All of you in your

struggles and trials of life! Love, PJ
