My Prayers Aren't Enough

My job is going great. I fold towels masterfully. I enjoy being with people. I nearly have the register down. My first two days on the register, only two people, total paid cash. Funny world. I work from 7-1 or 2, or 8-2 or 3 with the weekends of. For that I get about $500 per 2 week period.

On the other hand, life is pouring poop. Mike lost his job, but has 3 weeks of severance pay. This happened two weeks ago. Mike is at a job interview now. I don't think it is the best option for him. He does have a few other alternatives. Still, it is Christmas, our rent is more than we can really afford. My washing machine went out and my dryer eats clothes, leaving black marks or holes. I got a ticket on the way to Missouri (only because I was being really careful and trying not to get a ticket) that needs to be paid tomorrow. Isaac is not doing really well with school and is still having trouble making friends, nor is he getting along well with his step-dad.

What it amounts to is, my prayers are not enough. Please fast and pray for Isaac and Mike. I like to paint a sunny world, but sometimes storms wash away the paint before it dries. Still, the storms bring heaven's rain. Please fast for us.

Thank you.
