A Time to Help
I got this email from Ellen today.
This is Ellen McFarland from Clearwater.
I feel really badly for asking this, especially when you have helped me before, but my car just needed work to the tune of $900.00, and once again I can’t afford it. I am so tired of living like this, for I am a hard worker, but I never seem to get ahead. I am not one to foolishly spend money and I manage my money, but I have lost jobs the past few months through no fault of my own, and this extra expense is taking me over the edge. I borrowed $450.00 on my credit card, which I didn’t want to do, but I had to do this, and half of what I owe will be paid this way.
Is there any way you can help me. If not, than I understand.
And could you please pray that I can find a job where I can make money instead of having to give it away. It seems today that pepole with degrees are getting the jobs that used to be given to the ones who didn’t.
I live alone and have considered a roommate, but finding one that I know well and is honest is always a concern.
Thanks for the consideration.
Ellen McFarland

Dear Carolyn,
Just send a one-time donation. I will know what’s it for.
I am prompted to give $10.00 out of my need/blessing that God has provided for me so well & so excellently since 10-8-2010 when I lost my job. I do “due diligence” weekly & receive unemployment benefits & SNAP/food assistance which I believe is provision from the Lord also. I feel sometimes my age has a lot to do with not being hired (58) & I know that companies are not supposed to discriminate in regard to age but they do – but also I have to realize that if God wanted me to have a job out of all that I apply for – I would have one (same as with a husband – if God wanted me married – I would be married but I am not). I know that God will open the door when the timing & position are right & He has told many times to stop being anxious & to enjoy this time off with Him & I am getting much better at that than before. I have become an overcomer in regard to fear of not ever finding a job/being hired once again.
I just had to purchase a new computer which cost me $250 because my son but $100 with it – you can hardly apply for jobs in this day & time without a computer – everything is done online. The $250 that I had to release was a little less than half of a house payment that I could use in the future but I am trusting that HE will meet my needs & more as He has continued to do at present. It is hard to let go when you know the oil/flour is dwindling & the other morning I was watching the birds in the field behind me after the snow had melted some & HE once again reminded me of HIS Word that he takes care of the birds even – so do not fear my Beloved & trust in Me to take care of you.
I personally think this is training for what we as Christians will be going through in the future. In a conversation with Him – I stated that if we are not raptured as the Church/Bride of Christ before I am 70 that I didn’t know how well I would do in such circumstances.
THEREFORE – out of the blessing of the Lord my Provision & my need also I give a portion of this provision to my Sister Ellen in Jesus’ Precious Name & because of His blood that He shed for us to be delivered from such circumstances.
Thanks Jan. You and a lot of others will make a big difference in the life of this believer.
