Teacher in a bind
Posted in Brother James on Apr 21, 2007
My wife and I recently moved to California and we left 5 children in Pennsylvania. It has been very costly trying to see them since we left and we both have a lot of expense related to our former spouses in the East. We are trying to begin life here in Ca. and God has been very good and helped us unbelievably. We just are very tired and worn of the constant financial struggles and barely making ends meet and trying to repair damaged credit while having to pay child support, airfare, etc. as well as have a normal life here. We want to get on a stable footing here so we can offer a better life for our son (3) and my mother in law who is in unstable health and needs to relocate to Ca. ASAP. As we are both hard workers and very strong folks, I am sure eventually we will make it. I guess I am looking for that person of faith and substance who has WAY more than what he needs and is looking for a place to invest in a struggling and tired family. For me, it really is not important to "have" things. We have Jesus and his provision on the cross. It is mainly for my wife I ask as it pains me to have to see her frustrated and tired as we scape and pinch our way through every month and decide which bills to pay and which ones can wait. She deserves a "nicer" life than where we are now and I feel badly as I brought us here to help my family and get a fresh start but the road ahead and road thus far has been a bumpy and difficult as was her earlier years before we met. I want to see her smile and laugh and to finally relax even for just a moment in knowing we have the debts paid off and a little savings started and we can buy groceries even though payday is still a week away. What a blessing that day will be!
Thanks and God Bless anyone who reads my story,
James
