Well, a lot has gone on since Oct. I went in for reconstructive surgery at Ben Taub in Dec. The surgery lasted 15 hours. My mom was here to help while I recovered. But soon after she left, I went into a severe depression. I guess I was holding it all together and then my body just said "enough". Because we had no insurance to pay for the surgeries and chemo treatment, we are in a major bind financially. Not only because of that, but my husband was laid off in 2003 and worked at 75% less than what he was making before for about 1 1/2 years. Then I went to work for 7 months while he stayed home and collected unemployment. All this time, we didn't humble ourselves and go to the church for help. We just kept using credit cards thinking that something would come along soon. God is doing a work here! Last year I went to Dave Ramsey's money makeover conference and then promptly came home and cut up all my credit cards. "The borrower is slave to the lender". Boy, I never took that verse to heart until now. Duh! The first thing I'm doing is going through all my books and such to sell off everything I don't need. I have accumulated too many books. Our church homeschool is coming together this weekend to help us clean out our garage and to see what we can get rid of and see what we can sell. I'm selling a few things on eBay (look for me MEL4JC if you need anything) and through some of the yahoo groups (BobJonesCurriculum, Bookroom-FS, ChristianCurriculum, RecycleSonlight - my ID is Melani4jc). Please take a look! Another church member is buying me new bedding to perk up my bedroom and then I guess they're going to paint. Our kitchen has been falling apart and I heard they may have some new appliances, but they are not telling me much. A homeschool dad came by today to take a look at our roof and a wall that is leaking water to see if they can do anything in that area. God is working in us and is blessing us through so many others as well. Please pray! Thank you! |
