I am having a rough time!!

[TheKnifeCollector]

I just felt like venting. I have been having a bit of a rough time lately. I have been having some really nasty headaches. (No they are NOT migraines, been there done that. ) They started off 5-6 days a week, now I have one everyday. this is wearing on me. I saw a doctor on Friday, and she sent me for a MRI on Sunday. I have to wait unitl April 7th. I borrowed against my life insurance, to pay the mortage and truck payment this month. It is catching up to us me being unemployed. Anyway, I get the check, deposit it. There is a 5 day hold, because it is an out of state check. I kniew this would be. I wait several days, before I mail out some checks. We discuss it, and figure it is safe to mail out the house payment!! Well, the sucker gets to the bank in record time!! Of all times for it to get there quick!! Well, of course I am in the hole......... I know it will be all OK. But the pain I am in is really wearing on me...... I pray alot anyway. Today, I go to check my balance to find out that my life insurance company takes out $578, instead of my monthly $80!!! Oy!!! I did not sign or OK this ammount of money to be removed fron my account. I call my insurance agent (she is in South Dakota, because that is where i was when I got my life insurance. And am happy with it and her.) She gets back to me, and I explain to her the problems that this IS causing me!! She says she will get right on it. She did!! I get a call from my life insurance company. I will admit, I was a little short with the person on the phone, but caught myself and apologized!! I know it isn;t her fault. They ARE going to get my money to me. I ask that it be direct deposited. She says she doesn't think that they can do that. I asked why not, you remove it from me that way...... Then I ask that it be OVERNIGHTED. I believe that she said they would do that. I know it will all be OK!! God takes good care of me. I have been praying for help, strength, and more trust. I went to the bank, to try and talk to someone in person, but the bank was closed at 4pm. I got home, looked at my online balance, and it was in the positive. I trust God!! I have faith & trust in Him!!Anyway.....Rant off. Thank you for listening!!

TKC,
Look after your health first,all the other stuff will work itself out in due time.Keep positive and stay strong.All the best. :)

[DAYWALKER]

Aloha TKC,

KnifeSis...be advised: The stronger you are in Christ, the harder the enemy will *try* to discourage you by placing obstacles in your life. You are going through somewhat of a time of testing, although it is not from God. The enemy is trying to make you lose your faith in Jesus by causing you all these woes...but do not worry. Take a deep breath and *know* that your victory has been secured on the cross. ;)

Immediate healing is possible. The bible mentions it occuring many times...I have experienced it first hand...so it can be with your headaches.

As soon as you say, "NO!" to all these difficulties you are now experiencing and move by Faith, you immediately raise your shield of Faith and are protected...Again, remember:

YOUR victory has been SECURED on the cross.

God bless and prayers sent as "back up"! Take care and enjoy this day!!! ;)

[ghostrider]

DAYWALKER put it very well.

Prayaers sent TKC. Thanks for sharing this with us. I will continue to pray for this matter.

God Bless.

Take care of your health first...that's the one thing that can't be replaced.

I'll continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Chronic headaches can make even the simplest things(like mailing checks) feel like climbing Mt. Everest with a toothpick.

Take care of yourself. :o

Well with our totally corrupt despotic politicians making NAFTA & GATT agreements sending all of our good, high paying jobs overseas and with the same sinister government who says we are at war but yet the southern border is wide open letting every form of human depravity cross it freely with little or no resistance. Then the illegal aliens are STEALING jobs from Americans because they will work for .10 cents on the dollar while the crooks who are giving them employment are pocketing all of the tax and Social Security money while this cancer of a government just lets them do it. Coupled with the fact that they are subjecting us citizens with this albatross know as the Patriot Act while the illegal aliens get free health care, free education, free housing in a lot of instances while they have never paid a penny of tax. But the prices of everything goes up exponentially and hardly nobody's wages do at all.

The powers that be seem to be going all out to destroy the American families and the way of life our veterans fought to keep. With all of civil rights being constantly eroded and the government becoming more and more intrusive it just seems to be a recipe for total tyranny and eminent disaster.

While the governments, big multi-national corporations and wal-marts of the world are destroying any remnant of the America I knew as a kid. Yes TKC I hear you loud & clear while my own head aches. And Ma'am if it's any consolation to you I get headaches myself just thinking about the tidal wave of tyranny that is coming our way. I do hope and pray to All Mighty GOD that something can be done to save the land we love and our way of life. But the good side to it is that pain can be a friend. It can warn us of a deeper problem and can be an indicator and can point us to the source of the problem. This entire nation is in need of an EXCEDRIN the size of Mt. Everest. You're not the only one with a headache. Take heart because you are not alone at all. :(

TKC, prayers sent for you!
My family and I are also going through tough financial times, so I have an idea of how you feel. Hang in there, and take Daywalker's advice (reading his post even brought me up a bit).

Hey, there, KnifeSis!

Sorry to hear you are having a time of it... :eek:
Sounds like you've got lots of prayers going up in your behalf... I'll add mine.

Keep the Faith!

[Irish Lager]

TKC,
I am sorry that you are having to deal w/ all of this. I know in the end it will all work out for you, but i also know that during the time of transition it can be extremely difficult on ones self. Take care of yourself and keep us posted. We are always here when you need us, and you know how to get a hold of me if you need to vent more. I will keep you in my daily thoughts and prayers,
J

TKC, sorry to hear of your troubles. I sincerely hope it is nothing serious. Please let us know how your results turn out. Scott and Daywalker are right.... Take care of your self first...trust in Christ and the rest will follow! Take care...Prayers sent! ;)

Hey Sis, Trust in the Lord, He will See You Through Everything and Anything. Just like DAYWALKER said the Enemy will always "Put Obstacles in Your Path", to make you stumble. Remember, There is nothing bigger than Our Lord and Savior. He is always there, just have Faith (Which You Do) and give the problems to the Lord, He'll Take Of The Rest. Look It at the Problems this way............They can be "Stumbling Blocks or Stepping Stones". Sis, Use them as "Stepping Stones". I Pray the Lord will continue to give you Strength, and you'll walk right through/over all of these obstacles, In His Name. Take Good Care Sis. Prayers Sent from this End for You and Yours Always.

God Bless :)

[spydutch]

My thoughts are with you Sis' ;)

You take care.....

[minnshooter]

I would suggest reading a great book by CS Lewis called "The Screwtape Letters". It talks about how the devil gets into our lives through means that we don't necessarily see and how those little things affect us. Great book, easy reading and a life long lesson. Hang tough it will get better.

[deeker]

What can be added to what others have said?

Just letting you know you have more people backing you up in prayer.

[psimonl]

Well, about everyone now know I am not the religious type, although I respect all beliefs, I will keep you in my thoughts...

Money is one thing that makes us different from animals. That is why they don't use it!!!

And like smcfalls13 said, take care of your health first, knife sis'

Prayers sent TKC, and a PM too :)

p.s- I forgot to mention that I was a severe migraine sufferer when I was younger, all the way up until I was about 19.

I still have them, but only about twice a year now. I thank God for that!

TKC hang in there. I've had migrains and headaches and know how much they suck. Prays sent to you. Keep us posted on the MRI. I hope work is going well for you. I second minnshooter's suggestion "the Screwtape Letters" is a very good book and really helps you understand the enemy.
