I was saved at the age of 14 and since attending church regularly is challenging do to finances, I often watch Charles Stanley. Praise the Lord I've been able to raise our children to love and serve the Lord. The problem is my husband. He was raised as a Catholic but says he's been turned off over the years (before I met him) over the things that go on in churches. He dares to laugh at the fact that Jesus will return and doesn't even believe there will be a rapture. Instead, he'd rather believe that everyone will be abducted by aliens. SMH. I worry that he might not turn to Jesus until it's too late. Please pray with me for his salvation.
Next, I need prayer for myself. I don't want to go into details but I will say that a couple of years ago I was working as a telemarketer (not an easy job at all) but unfortunately I wasn't very good at it and like anyone else unable to meet the weekly quota for the company, I was let go. It was a horrible time for us because my husband was wrongfully terminated from his job of 14 years and we were actually denied food stamps since I was the only one working. My salary wasn't even enough for a family of 4 but the government didn't care. Thank God he eventually landed a job shortly before I lost mine. But we suffered a great deal during his time of unemployment because he was also denied benefits. All this affected other parts of our lives including our children.
Without an income, falling behind put us in danger of having our power turned off for a while and with our oldest being ill, that opened up a whole new can of worms. To make a long story short, I ultimately wound up having to take a job I NEVER ever thought I'd be doing in a million years. I'm too embarrassed to say what it is but I feel cursed and at times I wind up in tears because this isn't something I want to be doing when the Rapture occurs. Even though no one knows exactly when it'll happen, it's still not something I want to remain in because it doesn't glorify the Lord. We can't let our children starve and with our oldest being ill (the doctors have never been able to give a diagnosis but she has to eat certain foods), it's not easy to keep special things in the house without money. Oddly enough we're doing a little better than we were a couple of years ago but I HATE that so called job.
A dear friend of mine that's been like a mother to me over the years is a devout Christian. When I looked to her for advice about this job, she said she didn't feel I was really doing anything wrong...... That made me feel a little better but not really. All I can say is that working from home is easier on my back and body in general because life hasn't been the same for me since I was in an auto accident. I can't walk very far nor stand even 5 minutes because my back is so messed up. I seriously need to work from home but I would feel so much better with a different type of job. One that I could actually talk about with others. Only two close friends know what I'm doing for a living.
I thought my prayers had been answered several months ago when my husband's friend offered me a job I can do from home but it's not set up yet because things are slow. He's also selling used vehicles and has been nice enough to include us in it. We store the vehicles at our house and sell them and he gives us a cut. This would be ideal if the vehicles would sell a lot faster. Right now we have a motorcycle we've been trying to sell for 2 months now. Its hard to believe that thing hasn't sold yet. I love working from home. It saves the cost of gas and is less stressful plus the fact that it allows me to be there for our children.
Even though I'm saved, I pray that this type of rotten job doesn't remove my name from the book of life. I don't even look forward to working a lot of times. Please pray for me to land a better job and/or for my husband and//or his friend to get their business up and running and become successful so that we can start taking care of all the things we've had to neglect, move into a better house and are blessed with decent vehicles.
