Could y'all pray for me please?
I absolutely hate asking for prayer, but...
This semester has been a rough one. I knew going in that the class load was going to take everything I had, especially combined with the kids and working full time too. It has.
And in addition...my grandma died 2 weeks before the semester started. Not all that unexpected given her health and age, but the family dynamic comes into play in a big way with this and I've been processing things and hurting from this.
Then I've had some personal things going on that have taken time and resources. I have gone, privately, to some here and requested prayer for this. Thank you. I know y'all have been praying and it's made a huge difference.
Yesterday comes the crushing blow, though. I found out that a friend of mine committed suicide last week. (this was confirmed today Margie) She left 5 children behind, her baby was born in March.
I keep trying to type more and there are no words. There are tears, lots and lots of tears.
Right now my heart hurts so bad. I can't even look at my kids without breaking down into tears. Please, please, please pray for her babies. The circumstances leading to her decision haven't gone away, and now her babies are left in these situations without their mama fighting for them, praying for them, and protecting them as best as she could.
And please pray for me. I was reaching the point where I just didn't have anything left to give before this. This has completely dropped the bottom out of my world. I have to finish this semester, there are 2 weeks and 4 tests left. Failing these courses will impact financial aid and that's not an option as a single mom in school. I have to finish, but I don't know where I'm going to pull resources from to do that.

Nahkoe, I've been praying for you and I am going to continue to pray. I know that you are hurting bad right now. Please allow God to be the God of comfort for you. Let Him wrap His loving arms around you and hold you close. Rest in HIS arms.

Re: Could y'all pray for me please?
I am praying for both you and those poor kids your friend left behind. You truly are going to have to let the Holy Spirit be a comforter to you as God promised his Spirit would be.
There is a grieving process that you are going to have to go through that is only natural BUT you can't let that consume you and keep you from the things you have to do to take care of yourself and your kids. Let the Holy Spirit lift you up, strengthen and comfort you.
God Bless

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
