requesting prayer once again

Oh my! This has been a day for the record books. First my surgeon's office calls and says that the insurance company told them they dropped my coverage as of the 19th of Dec. I tried to call them, but of course they we closed for the holidays. That in itself is a major issue. I have my endoscopy appointment on Tuesday. Praise God my surgeon is being sympathic and said that he will allow me to go with the promise that I will pick up the cobra. So I sat here brainstorming as to how in the world I am going to pay this thing. They want me to send out a check on Monday!! I went to the Dept of labor website and legally I have 45 days to pay for cobra from the day I say I want it. Anyway, I go online to my checking account and in a beatuiful shade of Christmas red is my balance of $-170.00. You read right...MINUS $170. I accidentally wrote my childcare payment on the wrong checking account and it cause 4 checks to bounce making my account minus $60 someodd dollars, then they charged me $124 in overdraft fees!! I called the bank, they will not do anything for me. Even though had they posted the childcare check last, that would have been the only one that bounced. But since they posted it first, the three after it bounced too. The customer service rep didn't seem to care that my husband lost his job and I am loosing mine on the 4th. All she said was, "had you called yesterday I could have done something. Was I able to answer all of your questions? Have a great holiday!" WHAT??? A great holiday??? What kind of comment is that??? Please, please everyone keep my family in prayer. I am cried out over here. I think I may just be dehydrated I've cried so much. We serve a good God and I know he will take care of me. I also know that some amazing things happen when people come together and agree in prayer. Will you all agree in prayer with me? Love ya, Dawn

Dawn, Please don't worry your pretty head over this, I will do what I can to help you out ok? I don't want you to make yourself sick over this, we will get it taken care of!!! I mean that from the bottom of my heart! I love you Dawn, Steph

we're here for you, Dawn. All you have to do is ask. What can we do for you today? Tell us. Send us your address. It's that simple. Matthew 7:7 "Keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened.

Hey Glenn, Thanks for looking out. It just seems lately that I take one step forward and two steps back. I am just happy that my husband is still on board for me having the surgery. With money so very tight I am shocked that he didn't say that I need to look for a job as soon as I am laid off. I went to him right after I posted that message and just cried and hugged him and his response was, "You need to stop before you make yourself sick, just get on your knees and pray." I have been. In my heart, I know that God will make a way. In my mind though, I want to figure out how to fix things myself. As for asking. I had posted a message last week: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/christianity/postdetail/7294.html?vc=0 That post pretty much sums up what I need. Also my address is in there. All I can say is that the people here are remarkable. I raved about each and every one of you to my doctor and told him how awesome all of you are. The support, the prayers, the encouragement, everything; I couldn't have imagined in a million years that I would feel the connection I feel with everyone here. I am so grateful for that. If I don't speak to you again before Sunday, Merry Christmas. Love, Dawn

got it. thanks. The Lord answers prayers in a funny way sometimes. And the best Christmas gifts aren't found under any tree. Lord, God Almighty, give us today our daily bread. And Father, let us share our bread if we have more than we need. As we return to you the first fruits, Father, pour out a blessing on all of us so that we may be a blessing to others in need. May you be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen.

Oh Dawn - You precious sister. I am so sorry about what is going on! I know God has a purpose in all of this but right now that may not be that comforting. I am praying for you, your husband, and family. I sent you a postal check Thurs. and I pray that it gets there in a timely manner - of course we are across the US and with the Christmas season things may not move that quickly. I am praying that God will increase it to help you through this difficult time. I love you and will continue to pray. God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Lynda, Thank you in advance. I know it was nothing but God that moved your heart to help me in my time of need. I have had such an amazing response with prayer and support here at the Christianity forum. There is not a doubt in my mind that if I never found this forum the surgery would have been cancelled. My prayer for you is that God will bless you 100 fold in every area of your life, especially those areas that stand in the need of a blessing. You are a wonderful woman of God and I love you. God bless you!! Merry Christmas tomorrow. Dawn

Just a quick note to let you know I'm still praying for you.
