Just down in the dumps today

Just wanted to request that anyone believing in the power of prayer please pray for my family today.....we are having some financial difficulty right now; and I am really stressing about it. Other than that aspect, I am doing great; I am down 55 lbs....but that is being FAR overshadowed by the other JUNK that is going on right now. Thanks everyone!!! Sherri C.

Sherri, You will be in my prayers. Everything will work out, but it can be stressful to go thru. You are doing well with your weight loss, that is fantastic. Mary

Sherri, I'll add you and your family to my prayer list. One of my favorite biblical phrases is "..and it came to pass". Try to remember, tough times come, but they always pass. Congratulations on your weight loss...it's awesome that you're doing so well when you have so much else on your mind. (((hugs))) Julie

Sherri, I totally understand, and I'm sure most of us have had or are also dealing with financial difficulties. Just remember " I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me". Phl 4:13 Hugs, Debbie -52

Sherri, when things get tough in our family, we turn the radio on and plug in our favorite song, it's a little cheesy, but it makes us smile. We Are Family by Sister Sledge, Listen to it, every word. The family jewel is, "have faith in you and the things you do." It's inspiring to also think that there is a reason for everything, even it seems wild and dark right now. Keep your chin up and look for strength, you'll find it. Good luck.

Hi Sherri, Try to take a deep breath and relax I too have some problems that bring me down. My mother passed away suddenly last July and I am still in denial:'{. What brings me up some is my family! Also I have lost 65 pounds since my surgery on 2/23/04. I have really bad knees so i don't exercize, but i am making that my goal to do some. Try to think of the positive and try to distract yourself watch a movie or take a swim. My husband and I are disabled so i know about financial problems we live govt check to check and try to make it though the month. Keep your chin up and the great success you have accomplished on your weight loss! Great Job! Good Luck Jill

Hello Sheri, I just wanted to say that I will keep you and your family in my prayers. You came to the right place for support. There are many people on this site who have words of advice and positive suggestions to help lift your spirits. Take care and congratulations on your weight loss. Lulu

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me so much yesterday....I DO feel better today...still stressed, but not as much!! Thanks again; and KEEP PRAYING!! Sherri C 242/186/140 RNY 2/16/04

Dear Sherri, You will be on my prayer list and I will say a novena for you. I DO have some advise if you would like to hear it. I work in the collections field for a telelcommunication company. If you are going thru something, let all your utilities know and they SHOULD be able to work with you. I know we do. Remember, "If HE being us TO it, He will being us THRU it" {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} Noelle G
