FAM-A-LAM!!
1st let Me Apologize in Advance if I Come Off A Tab Bit "Preachy".
But I Cant Keep QUIET. If There Is One THING I KNOW FOR SURE (if i dont know ANNNYTHING Else) Is That PRAYER ..WORKS!!
Some Know And Some Don't. My Mother ANd I Had Our Backs Against The Wall And We Didn't Know Where To Turn... My Mother Has Been Out Of Work For A While... Her Taxes That She Filed For DIDNT COME BACK... And The Money I Made Wasnt Enough To Pay The Money That We Owed. ANd The Housing Wasnt Trying To Work With Us They Wanted ALL OF The MONEY.
I'll Admit My Pride At The Beginning Got The Best Of Me....Then The Stress Came Almost Too FAST so I BROKE DOWN.( i know its normal.. Darnit Im HUMAN)..But While I Was Crying, Kicking ANd Screaming... I Prayed And I Dont Mean the "thank you jesus" or the "lord i thank ya" type Prayer.. I MEAN.. Me and God had a One On One CONVERSATION. Went a Little Something Like: "OK GOD.. NOW I KNOW YOU KNOW WUTS GOING ON...YOU SEE THIS.. SO TALK TO ME AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO NOW CUS IM STRESSING ..MOMS IS CRYING HER EYES OUT AND LOOSING SLEEP ..SHE WONT EAT.. SO N SO SAID THIS ABOUT ME AND TURNED HIS BACK ON US AT THE LAST MINUTE. LORD WHAT AM I GONNA DO?"
.. I Was Standing outside with tears in my eyes in the middle of Aldi's parking lot looking like a Mad woman praying to God. ANd Fam Im Not Sure If U Ever had This Happen To U.. but GOD SHUT ME UP.. COMPLETELY. LOL. IT WAS LIKE HE HAD ENOUGH OF MY COMPLAINING AND CRYING..So i just listened to him speak.. and he Told me what to do... He told Me To Call On My Family And Thats Exactly What I Did.
Of COurse there was a Part Of me (pride) That Didnt Want To Call because i didnt want to be the "talk" of the family or i didnt want to deal with stares or whispers but i learned u Never Question GOD Because what he says is LEGIT and Thats It. You cant Get Any Better Than That . So Family remember Prayer works. and If Your asking God For Guidance.. do just that then SHUT UP.. listen .. and Obey. He'll never mislead u.

Well, I must give honor and praise to God first and foremost. Then I want to honor you Laurice and your honesty. Asking for help does not come easy for most of us in this family. We (your Uncle Sam & I) were concerned when we heard the news of the pending eviction and felt compelled to do something in the name of family.
Please believe that none of us is perfect. So don't feel ashamed that someone is going to talk about you or stare at you. That can happen regardless of this situation. And you are right, sometimes we ALL need to shut up and let God speak. More importantly, we need to listen and take heed to what He is directing us to do.
I am happy that you followed God and put your pride aside. I love you and I don't think I just talk the walk.... but walk the walk as well. I am blessed to have more than most and if we (Sam & I) can help, we will come through.
Also, I truly hope that everyone read your blog entry. I encourage you to send your testimony via email and via regular mail to those who still remain without a computer or Internet access. Share your experience! It's important that everyone know that prayer works.
Lastly, this experience shows how we really need to all come together and establigh the family fund. It is so beneficial! Peace & blessings.
