Jeff's Journal Day One

Postby Guest » Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:04 pm

Greetings brothers and sisters -may God Bless!

I'm an older guy with several serious medical conditions including
cardiac myopathy and sugar diabetes. Oh yeah I also need a total knee replacement. I can walk for about a hundred yards without fatigue but I can only stand on my feet for at most an hour or so and then I have to sit down. Bottom line is I can only work part time which of course doesn't pay the bills.

Now my savings are exhausted and I basically have been surviving on charity and loans from friends plus my limited income. With no medical insurance I'm now applying for public assistance and I am still waiting
a final decision..so your prayers are much appreciated...

One thing is certain God led me here and I have been smiling since yesterday when I first logged on here. My typing skills are a little
rusty (thank God for SpellCheck )but I have been improving...

Today I have been gathering documents from the doctors and drug companies to submit to public assistance -plus praying that God will
hasten the process. My caseworker seems interested so I am hopeful.

I truly do not like complaining but confession as they say is good for the soul. Sharing our ups and downs is what fellowship is all about right?
Tonight I am going to be face on the floor in prayer and worship which
I pretty much have been doing every night. God has found me a church
here and the prayers and fellowship *Pray* have truly blessed me!

Well that's it for Day One -God Bless!
