Jan. 27, 2008 - A call for prayer
Yesterday my dryer broke. It's cold, I have about 10 loads of laundry to wash including dh's work clothes that he needs tomorrow. I hung some outside yesterday afternoon, and now it's raining on them, lol. The clothes I hung inside yesterday afternoon still aren't dry. We have less than $100 to get us through 2 weeks until dh is paid again, in which case we will be broke again because we have to pay the mortgage and dh has been missing work because there isn't enough work. So, I'm saying I can't buy any indoor clothes dryers to put over the heating vents. I can't afford to go to the laundromat to dry because it's $2 a load there. We can't fix it right now. I don't have any movable objects like chairs that I can use to put over the heating vents. I have a bunch of hangers that scrounged around the house, enough for one load of laundry, and a shower curtain rod and doorways. After 12-16 hours my laundry is still wet.
My computer screensaver is a scrolling marquee that says, "Trust Jesus ALWAYS". I am trying to remember that. If you all could pray that I could once again have that peace that I had yesterday, I would really appreciate it, lol.
This is a wonderful test for me. And a great oppurtunity to see the Lord work miracles, lol.

I just lifted you up to the Lord, our provider. He knows your need and somehow (probably creatively) He will meet your needs.
Can you take the clothes that you need tomorrow and call a friend and ask to use the dryer just for the work clothes?
If you are in a church or sunday school - swallow your pride and let others know what your needs are. You would be surprised how many people probably have an extra dryer in their garage, that they have been waiting to get rid of.
That's what's great about our church "family". This is a bump in the road. God is there and He knows your need. Listen carefully and follow what He says. Trust Him!

Thank you so much for your prayers. We have a stackable washer/dryer set so we can't take just any dryer. It has to be one that could stack on top of our washer because there is no room to put it anywhere else.
Everyone that I could go to use theirs lives 40+ miles away. And since that would be $7 in gas.....
But I know that our God is BIG. This is not a big thing for Him at all.
