I don’t know who started it but someone did and it spread like a crazy fire. I know that I have posted on Chatlist 2 time about getting clothes for my daughter.

I didn’t think there was anything wrong with asking for help in putting warm clothes on her.

What people don’t know about it is I am a single mom raising my daughter alone. Her dad is in prison and it’s not my fault that he’s there…. his actions are his own…. he put himself there. I struggle to provide for us and I do go without just to make sure my daughter has what he needs. He does NOTHING to help support her.

There have been times I didn’t even have food to feed me…. but that wasn’t important…. what is important I to make sure she is fed.

In October I had a major stressful time, the transmission in my car went out and then where I was interning was about to end….then I thought I was going to lose the home I am renting due to an inspection. I wondered why all of these things were hitting me all at the same time. I cried and cried. I know crying doesn’t solve things … but it’s something we all do.

Well, GOD provided a way to get my car fixed and honestly I KNOW HE had a hand in this because I don’t know of any other way it could have been done. The inspection to the home I’m living in passed so we were allowed to stay. I cried so much over that wondering where we going to be homeless without a car and a job.

My internship was extended until February. So everything that I thought was being taken away from me…. GOD PROVIDED.

He is a GOOD GOD!!!

I have received many emails from people that read my last post and they have all been supportive of me. I guess some people don’t know how to deal with things in their live so they need to pick other apart to make them happy.

REMEMBER: God rewards those that help others.

May GOD bless every one of you that help others 10 fold in 2015!! YOU all are an angel HE has sent to help other. I pray that GOD shows you how much you are needed here…. He shows you how much of HIS Love shines through you.

God Bless you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! He’s watching you…. so be GOOD to others because has your rewards.

Thanks,
