When you have no one else to turn to...You
know who most people turn to? The loving
man up above! Im sorry you had to go
through this, but if you have trust in the
lord he will be good to you. I remember
when I was 15 and we had nowhere to go,
and there was 5 of us! So we had to live
in a motel for a while and we used to
think ".God why? Help us out, I know you
are here for us" and we prayed everyday
and now we have our nice house he has
blessed us with. You need to pray because
he will give you something greater. Just
pray. Have faith. I hope things go well
for you. If you check with the churches
they provide shelter, food, places to go.
They are always willing to help. Here are
some words for encouragement.
deuteronomy 28
blessings for obedience
1 if you fully obey the lord your god and
carefully follow all his commands I give
you today, the lord your god will set you
high above all the nations on earth. 2
all these blessings will come upon you and
accompany you if you obey the lord your
god:
3 you will be blessed in the city and
blessed in the country.
Hebrews 13: 5
5 keep your lives free from the love of
money and be content with what you have,
because god has said,
"never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."[1] 6so
we say with confidence,
"the lord is my helper; I will not be
afraid.
Ecclesiastes 5
9 the increase from the land is taken by
all; the king himself profits from the
fields.
10 whoever loves money never has money
enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied
with his income.
This too is meaningless.
11 as goods increase,
so do those who consume them.
And what benefit are they to the owner
except to feast his eyes on them?
Hi gailj,
I hope that things are looking better
for you. Is there a single mother support
group anywhere near you? You need to get
out there and meet other people who are
going through the same things as you are.
I am not a very religious person, but it
can't hurt to pray. :d
try and stay positive and get your
kids to help you go through the want ads.
That will give you something to work on
together!

I was a single mom with no job too.
The first thing I had to do is swallow my
pride and go to the state for help.
I got myself and my son on medicaid, went
to wic and onto the child care assistance
list.
Through the state assistance I was able to
have opportunities to find training and a
job and single moms groups, as well as
help with child support services...
Good luck

Oh Yeah And Dont Worry Posted: 10-01-03 11:46am
Do not worry
25"therefore I tell you, do not worry
about your life, what you will eat or
drink; or about your body, what you will
wear. Is not life more important than
food, and the body more important than
clothes? 26look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in
barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds
them. Are you not much more valuable than
they?
27who of you by worrying can add a single
hour to his life[2] ?
Hi gail,
how's it going today? I definitely
agree with singlemomma, you need to apply
for help from the state and whatever else
you can get, at least to get you started.
Then when you get a job and figure
everything out, you might be able to do it
on your own. But don't worry if it takes
a while, these things take time. We're
rooting for you, take care of yourself.
