Broke as a joke!
I've always been a worker so when I was injured to the point where I no longer can back in Nov. 2010 it really started to bother me. Work has always defined for me who I am and made sure I could pay my bills and raise my son. Well that's all over now. I've never been this broke before, broke to the point where I'm becoming worried about how we'll eat. I had to file for SSD and the determination has still not came in and my Workmen's Comp. stopped awhile ago which leaves me living off of the little bit of savings I had which is now down to maybe $100, how is anyone suppose to live and pay their monthly bills on $100. I don't ever remember having to struggle like this and it makes me question so many things. They say God never gives us anything we can't handle, but I'm starting to wonder. I so wished I just would have called out of work that day and I wouldn't be in this scary position now.

I know just how you feel girl, right now we are on the fence about applying for food stamps, something I never thought in my life I would have to do. I love being here in Jacksonville but the work is scarce; Chris is on temp layoff with no unemployment; we have no benefits and if nothing changes between now and the end of June our bank accounts will be reading $0. It is hard to gold onto faith in times like these but what I have learned is that God is faithful. It may seem like He has abandon us but I assure you he hasn't. Just want you to know that you are not alone in the fall on hard times. I'm in the boat right there with ya and if it happens to topple over we will just have to go on in the words of Dori "just keep swimming, just keep swimming" LOL praying for you friend <3
