I need your help

Oh life is happening! Each minute is being put to good use in my life. Tonight I stayed home to reboot emotionally and physically.


One of the most difficult gifts to have is the gift of empathy. To be able to take on the emotions of other people is exhausting and draining. I've been working diligently with a family to hopefully help them get back on the right track. The mother is emotionally and physically unstable with 4 kids living in her home. The home is a mess and they are always under constant stress and in constant conflict. Why would I keep trying to help? Because the Lord has called me to. I have no doubt that I will spend the rest of my life helping families like this one. It's exhausting dealing with families that are in constant crisis but someone needs to help, we can't just turn a shoulder because it's hard.But I'm again reminded of Romans 15:1-2 that says, "Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, 'How can I help?'"


So I'm asking those who are strong to help me if you can. This family's home is being foreclosed. They have to be out of the home by the end of November and have not found a place for them to move into. The mother is on a fixed income of about $1200 a month and has 4 kids. If anyone knows of a place in Hamilton County or North GA that establishes rent based on income, your information would be of GREAT help. I know the Lord has a home for this   family and I pray He brings it to them soon. He's already provided help when they move, so I have no doubt he's going to provide a home! Right now the family is struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel and things seem to continue to get worse for them. If you don't know of anything that is fine, please just keep this family in your prayers and pray the Lord gives them their home soon.


I easily become overwhelmed because I try to do a lot on my own without asking for help. But as a Christian, we're suppose to work as a body and not take on every task by ourselves. That  is why I'm asking for your help. In 1 Corinthians 12:18-26 its says, "But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.  How strange a body would be if it had only one part!  Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.  The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”
 In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen, while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity. This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad."


Even if your job is to pray, I want you to know that you are HONORED in that task. The Lord is going to bless this family and he will honor all those involved, whether it's through prayer or actions. 


Thanks you all for your prayers and help :-)
