My name is AJ. I live in the home with my sister, my niece and nephew and my 2 children. We have been struggling for months. Some how we have made it, I know is only been because of the love God has for us. However, I have tried everything to come up with money for the bills this month. {We are behind $3000 in our lease}I even tried getting a job at McDonalds. It seems no one will hire me. Sometimes I just wish I could have a job that would offer money or compensation to people who really really need it, unfortunately, there are so many people out there that would just take advantage of someone like that and that is why there are more people that are rich who are getting richer. I will just have to keep praying, because life has been much worst. I just hope and pray my children dont have to come home to no electricity. Because without it we cannot preserve food for them to eat or keep them in a decent way of living. In 2005 my house burned down and it took me 3 years to get our lives back on track. I just dont want the children to face the type of situation that we faced then. We were homeless, no food, and just plain destitute. My sister and I worked so hard to try and make things better. And as soon as we moved to this home I lost my job and so did my sister. We are just to single women trying to help each other, but we just need another opporunity to make some income for our household. After reading some of these other posts, I realize that so many people have difficult situations that they are trying to handle to the best of there ablilities. However, it is faith strengthening to know that despite many obstacles everyone mostly is hanging in there still reaching out to find a better way even if it is just sharing our hard times with each other. Always remember that NOTHING can seperate us from God's love, HIS heart is ever more greater than ours!
