Finally, after beginning this process in September of last year, one of my doctors filled out my disability papers. I do not know what my life holds in the next few weeks, but I am sure that God will provide. I decided a few days ago that my life is legitimately a roller coaster. However, as is with real roller coasters, you can be terrified the whole time, or excited. I choose excited as much as i can. I have been living $20 at a time. Every source of income I had dried up. I've been donating platelets for 10 yrs and they suddenly changed the rules and put me on a national wide deferral list. I've been trying to sell the stuff in my storage for over two months and no one has wanted anything. I listed my stuff a second time and almost 10 items sold. The other day I had to go get dinner. I didn't have time to go home so I needed to fork out the cash for dinner which I wasn't looking forward to. As I was walking through the parking lot I looked down and there was a folded bill, just 63 cents short of the cost of my dinner. Then about two weeks ago I had an issue with my phone. I got a new bank acct so I changed my payment info on my phone bill but there was an issue with the routing number. I verified the number with the bank, but it was still rejected by the phone company. Needless to say, my bill was rejected and I was never notified. I found out when my phone stopped working. I paid the bill again that night and asked who I could speak to about reversing the reconnect fee. The rep said that I needed to talk to the bank. A few days later I got an unexpected call from the phone company, one that I had not asked for at all. The man on the phone said he had a copy of my bill and was calling to see what the issue was. I was shocked but I just told him what had happened with my phone bill. Without even asking he reversed the reconnect fee! Then, he told me there was another fee, and he reversed that too!
So the follow-up prayer request is I'm still in process of getting disability. My dr. actually expedited it and said he'd never seen anyone denied, but I'll believe it when I see it. Also, he increased one of my medications yesterday and now I feel weird. I'm not sure if it's related to the med though. I was dizzy and had vertigo, but when I went running it was fine. This morning I feel the same. I guess I feel buzzed.
I still have unexplained medical issues. No matter how much sleep I get, how much or how little exercise I get, what I eat, or what I do, I'm exhausted all the time. I do not sleep well, but my doctor will not recommend me for a sleep study. I had a bunch of blood tests done and they all came out optimally.
Lastly, I have less than a week to move and no place go... not to mention no income to pay rent until at least October.

My daughter suffers from an illness called ME in the UK, I think Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in your part of the world. Part of the diagnosis in her case was to prove that she wasn't suffering from anything else. You can get "doctor style" information about it here: CDC - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).

Obviously, I have no idea if that is the case, but your problems above rang a bell, so I thought I should mention it.

I pray that you will be able to work through all your problems, and that help might come at exactly the right moment. Amen.

That's a lot of time to be waiting. And by the time you get it, it will be too late. Is there a possibility that you have friends or family that would help you with rent or moving in with them?

What is your disability ? Since you are able to run, there has to be some type of job you could do and would enjoy as well. Have you thought of a faith based position, maybe at your church? How about babysitting?

I have friends and family but none that can help me. Already stayed 6 months for free with a family. I've been here for 3 because I thought I was going to have an income that didn't pan out. The only jobs I do are babysitting, but I do not have a regular one. I probably wouldn't be able to handle a regular one. My disability is complicated some if it may be physical but most of it is related to PTSD. My church has no openings. I watch kids when they have childcare.

And the convo with my bf went well. All is good.

The people starve while the fat get fatter. I feel for you and the ever growing number of people like you. It's just not right, but now that's a sign of the times isn't it.

I come before you Lord God in the Name of Your Son, and I bring before you Jordy and her situation. I pray the Holy Spirit provide for her a covering, and her needs, as is done with the sparrows in the field. Lord God see a good and faithful servant in Jordy, and reward her with your provisions. May she be given the resources she needs to continue in ministry with you and others. And may she be given direction and favor on the road she must travel. Thank you Lord for being Lord of this situation. Amen.

Thanks for all your prayers. I have no idea what God will do, but I do believe He is a provider.
