I need some prayer

Brothers and Sisters,

  I am going to do something that is very hard for me to do.  Let's just say I accessed that thing called a credit report and credit score from all the credit reporting agencies.  I have realized that I have wasted the last 7 years.  I am in debt up to my ears and I am so overwhelmed.  I am crying as I write this post becuase I feel like a failure.  I know that this should not negate my sucess in my walk with the Lord, but it is threatining to do that.

  I am giving up my dream of going back to Texas Tech becuase it is going to take so long to pay off this debt in addition to whatever my husband has incurred.  I knew that it was there, but not to the extent that it is right now.  Brothers and Sisters in the short time that we have been on this forum I have come to think of you as my family.  I am hurting right now so badly, I cannot even begin to describe the pain that I am feeling.  We are following Dave Ramsey's financial principles wholeheartedly now. 

  I am 27 years old and by the time that I pay off this debt, I will be too old to go to school.  Pray that more students and things of that nature will come my way so that I can increase the incoming income that we can crawl out of this hole quicker.  I have spent 2 long converstations on the phone with a special friend just bawling my eyes out.  That's why I have posted in another post that I was too young to waste my life anymore.  It just seems like my dreams are shattered and I am too tired to pick up the broken pieces.

  Guys, I really need your prayers and support at this time.  I am feeling that I am losing myself in this debt.  We are doing everything to get ourselves out of it without compromising the marriage and my son.  We need a miracle.  Yet, I have a belief that if you mess up then you do not deserve God to get you out of it.  This was just an expensive mistake.  I will say this, the debt has no credit card debt in it.  I am proud of that fact.  Thanks for listening to me in my time of need.  I guess I will wipe the keybaord clean of my tears and pick up where I left off.

  I am going to begin to attack it one account at a time.  It's just that I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. 
 
  God bless you guys.

  Sincerely,


  Anne C. McGuire

Anne,

You can definitely count on my prayers going up for you. Please don't feel like a failure. You are far far from that.

Oh God... This made me so sad.

Thank you for your sincere words, Anne. I don't even know you very well, and still I feel that your honesty and your willingness to share your problems is making this forum a better place. This might sound strange, but the fact is that I am also feeling related to persons who I never met face-to-face. Written communication can sometimes be sufficient in bringing people together, especially when we are open and sincere like you are. I certainly will pray for you and your family, and ask God's mercy on your money problems. Just trust in God to provide for you.

God bless you and your family.

Hi Anne,

I do feel for you in this trial.
Take heart, your worry and concern is understandable, but will not change a thing.
You are doing the best you can, now just take one day at a time.
These scripture came to mind,
how Peter was worrying about what was happening around him and he began to sink.
But "immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him."  :)

Mat 14:29  And He said, Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
Mat 14:30  But seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me!
Mat 14:31  And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him; and said to him, Little-faith! Why did you doubt?

I will be praying for you.

mercy, peace, and love
Kat

Hey Anne, I am so sorry that you are going through this trial and will be praying for you. Please don't feel like a failure, we've all been there in some way or another. You said that there is no credit card debt and that is a tremendously good thing. You have seen a glimmer of light in this darkness. To me, that shows your heart and how  you are looking for a brighter side. It will be tough but I know you can do it. Much love, Jennie
