I sorrow with you over your friend, and your wife's illness, and your tooth pain. 
The Lord is always listening, my friend.
And He is always about His good work in sanctifying us.
Trials are a part of this, as gold is refined by fire.
And fire is painful!
But the end result is what we must keep our eyes upon,
for then we shall mirror His reflection perfectly.
Having also been at my wit's end, I appreciate that you are suffering,
but let suffering have its perfect work.
How is that helpful in ending what's happening?
I don't know...but He does.
I have looked all around me for a person to end my suffering,
yet it was always He Who did so.
I am praying for that, and that He will strengthen you, and that you will know
that He is very near, and is loving you.

probably going to end up in the ER I feel horrible, it's a long shot but if anyone wants to help with the utilities PM me, someone helped me before so I feel bad asking, but we just ever caught back up from last month, I thought we were going to be ok, then I lost an entire weeks pay due to her being hospitalized, she is ok will will have to have her gallbladder out, please pray for us as it's a simple procedure, but it's always a risk her being under due to all her medications, I'm haing a roughtg time anyway, I knew how bad my best friend was going to look, after his cancer came back, but to see someone who three weeks ago was doing so much better, suddenly get this weak and frail, it's a shock to me, I mean I expected it but still, it's hard to process, he has almost 0 chance of survival, but please pray anyway, his name is Bobby Brock

That's how I was raised too. God just needed me to get over it enough so the two of us could work together. When you become one flesh, two old fleshes no longer exist in the kingdom. I don't know how He will do it, because you two certainly have given Him a challenge. But He is the God of the impossible, I know He can handle something that is just "a challenge". I'm praying for you.
lost1972, my husband and I were at one time homeless with two children and another on the way, all due to a job that was not what was promised.
The most important thing we learned was to trust in Jesus, even when things get worse.
I know all seems very dark, but do not let it consume you, trust in God and hold fast in faith.
We learned to do this, and in time, all we needed was provided through faith.
You, your wife and friend, continue in my prayers in Jesus for all needed in Spirit and in physical needs.
God bless

It IS so hard, when you're in the thick of things, to look beyond the seen to what is r-e-a-l.
When there is illness...
when there is no money...
when you think your child will die,
and when your child does die...
to see beyond the pain would be impossible if not for Christ.
I could never to it, at the time...at first.
But with practice, I found it got better!
(LOTS of practice...lol)
And when the trial is over, and you have time to think clearly,
you see how the Lord has refined and polished you,
and made you look a little more like Christ. ♥
You realize what you have learned, and what you thought that isn't so,
and it's such a blessing to let go of what isn't so!
Tim, I realize this may seem hollow right now,
and if it is so, I am sorry!
I don't mean to burden you further, but to encourage you.
We do what we can, and then we stand!
and see the salvation of our God!
He loves to do that for us. ♥
Please keep in touch as you can?
