2007 started a little early this year.  On Dec. 23 my dad went into the hospital where he was diagnosed with MDS.  Please know I am 26, married and have 2 children.  My husband and I lost our home in April, and we are now renting from a family member.  In April, my dad's MDS turned into leukemia.  He has a lot of odds against him and we are all praying for a miracle.  In the meantime, my mom and dad were helping us with utilities and such as I lost my job because of everything going on, and they said I was just not preforming, I was doing the best that I could.  I have started an e-bay business that I pray takes off and my husband who still works full time is also starting a residential remodeling business on the side.  Of course we have no start up money so it is VERY slow going.  Here is the problem that I have right now, we are behind on rent and about to lose this place and we will have no where to go, I am scared.  My children are 4 and 1.  We are also behind on utilities and they plan on cutting things off starting next week.  We are using every penny that comes in to pay something towards our bills but things just continue to pile up.  We have asked family and friends for help and we have prayed and prayed and now I am doing the last thing I ever thought I would do and that is telling the world.  I know that there are people out there who want to help, I just hope someone can help us.  We do not need much, in comparision.  We need 2192.00 to get caught up on everything which will help us so much.  They have given my dad less than 6 months and I want to be able to enjoy the precious time, not worry about everything.  Thank you for listening and may God Bless you all.  Please know that I will add you to my prayer list and I will remember your thoughts and generosity. 

Well, I am a Christian.  I am a mom to 2 boys they are 4 and 1.  I am married, we have been for almost 6 years!  I am learning that life is too short and goes too fast and no matter how hard to stop the roller coaster we cannot.  I have learned that there is good in everyone, and I try to see it.  I put everyone else in front of me, which I got from my parents.  I love my family and my friends.  I love helping others.  I love making people smile, no matter how small the jesture, you can make the difference.  I have learned to be humble through this and patience.  I have learned how strong my faith is and even though it seems to be tested a little more everyday I love Christ and I plan to just get stronger.
