Happy Easter everyone and may God bless each and one of you who take the time to read my posts on aid page. What is Easter? Well to many people it means many different things. To some it's all about a bunny and getting candies. For me it's about remember Jesus. I watched the passions of Christ. Yes just a movie. However, based on real live events. I watched a man who suffered so much. I watched the pain and it gripped my heart and I had to look away at times. Now your probably saying that well if there is a God why does this God allow us to suffer. I to ask myself this same question. I thought about it today. I thought about it when I watched the Passions of Christ. He suffered so much then was raised to Glory.....Hmmmm, we suffer as christ suffered? Well maybe not to the extreme of blood shed. However, words can cut into us like a 2 edged sword. Anyway I was thinking, the greater the suffering the greater the glory. Look at the glory Jesus has now. Sitting at the right hand of the Father. We see all that Christ suffered. Then God raised him. I am not saying that we should cause ourselves to suffer to get glory. No no no no. What I am saying is that we seek God when we suffer. Most people only turn to god in times of need. I imagine it must be quite hurtful for a heavenly father to only have sons n daughters turn to him in times of need. Then wonder off and never give him another glance. Just saying must hurt. However, when God lifts up in our times of trouble, to God be the glory. Meaning God is able to show us what he can do when were down. He can when were up to. However, many people don't take the time to listen or seek God when times are up. Just saying. Just like this site. I think people miss the true meaning of this site. Aid page. They think it's only hear to get money. I did once to. however, it aids me to be able to talk and express how feel about things when I have no where else to turn. No one else to listen to me. I am so thankful for this Aid Page. It's aiding me to express myself. For which I am extremely thankful. I could not do without. Sometimes if we look deeper we see the real meaning and causes of things. Just saying. So thank about that today. Also, thank God for raising us us up when where in need. Have a blessed day everyone. And have a blessed Easter day no matter what is going on in your life today.-Barbara

As I have browsed the many postings, I see so many asking for Christmas help, help to get toys/gifts for children. Yes, I can understand how this mindset has been adopted over so many years. But sometimes I wonder if we aren't setting up our children in a very hurtful way. That no matter what, there will magically be toys under the tree for them.
I've seen it all over online, videos of kids getting gifts and then having a royal fit because it isn't what they want, they don't think clothes, books or such is a real gift and tons more. Like complaining that the car you just got sucks because you don't like the color. Like getting mad that you didn't get a top tech toy and a friend did. We are setting up the entitlement mentality that's such an issue in the world today.
I know that there are folks out there that still believe in the same traditions that were popular when I was a kid...several decades ago.
I was taught that any gift was something to be thankful for and that giving a gift meant so much more.
So I'm giving thanks to those I have around me at home. I'm thankful that we're still in our house, the utility bills are paid till the end of this year. That we have food in the house, enough to last as long as we ration it out wisely. That aside from allergies or tummy, head and body aches, we're in fair health for now. (Not counting pre-existing conditions) That so far the heaters, blankets, sweatshirts, gloves, socks and hats are keeping us all warm inside, during this cold snap we're going through. I'm thankful for the simple fact that each morning that I wake up, I wake up. It gives me another day to be grateful for all that I do have right now. It also gives me another chance to keep things going, so that we can keep all these things we have right now.
My daughter has hinted that she'd like an MP3 player, but I've also over heard her telling her siblings that as long as the utilities are paid, the mortgage is paid and we're all okay...it will be an okay holiday. My older son agreed and stated that all he wanted was a job so that he could help out.
The youngest one said he wanted Noble, the sugar fairy from the Thumbelina video. Trouble is there is no such toy or figure that I can find anywhere. He got the video for his birthday in Nov. and has watched it dozens of times already. He has really become charmed by that little fairy. The only thing else he's wanted is Thomas, the train engine play set - he's asked for it every year since he was 4yrs old. He'd gotten a big play set one year, his older brother got it for a little over $50 on sale. Unfortunately, it was stolen a few days later by a guy who was staying with my cousin.
My cousin was a truck driver back then and came to drop by for Christmas. He ran into a guy he knew some years back who asked if he could stay with him cause he lost his apt. He said that he could sleep in the bottom bunk of the cab. (my cousin slept on the top bunk) He ate with us for Christmas, we treated him well and he seemed to be nice, was pleasant enough. But two days after Christmas, he was gone. The train set was gone, a blender and a Mr Coffee was gone too. (Our tech is in our bedrooms, not easy to get at. Our t.v. is old, VHS was all we had back then, plus the only accessible rooms were the living room, kitchen and bathroom. All other doors were locked. I leave the front door open for my cousin when he's staying over so he can get to those rooms.)
Never saw that guy again. My cousin looked for him, but had no luck either. So it's been something that we've wanted to fix ever since. But those Thomas toys are very costly even when on sale. It's not possible to do this yet. I'm hoping that maybe a Carebear will fill in for Noble. Maybe...lol
But as I've said before, I'm hoping that we all remember to be thankful and grateful for all those things that we DO have already. I also hope that those that are needing the very basic things will be able to find help to get them.
A very warm and loving Holiday to all of you and may it be a brighter and better New Year's ahead for us all.
as long as you can take a breath, there is hope to make some kind of change. So be thankful that you've that opportunity to find help, reach out and live another day.
I've finally added my design page to my homepage website. I wanted to get that done before turkey day takes me away. The turkey has been pardoned, we're having ham this year...lol
Although a friend may let me use her oven while she's off for the Holiday with family, so that bird may get cooked before the end of Nov. yet. lol
Been stressed lately, but doing okay. Got family here together for now. Not sure about next month, though I'm hoping that my son won't go till after the Holidays.
There's a chance that he will have a job up north, staying with my niece there, she's got an extra room for him to use. It will be very odd not having him here since he does a lot of my errands for me.
Heard some possible good news from my cousin the trucker. He may be hired on with a different company. Waiting to hear about that after Thanksgiving. Hopefully it will be good news and he'll be able to get back to work after almost 16 months. Since he was an independent contractor under another trucker before, he received no unemployment benefits. This time he's applying directly to the company instead of just being a freelancer.
Well, hope that everyone can keep it together a little longer. Brightest blessings to you all and to your families.
Hello, I have improved things a little since being on here last. I have managed to do the closing cost on my house. But I have to get the house repaired. Its sort of falling apart in some areas. I have a leak in the roof and plumbing problems and electric problems and walls and exterior. I have to come up with money to pay someone to repair all those things. But i am so grateful to know that i am on my way to having a secure home, something i never had growing up.I lived here for 14 years paying rent and I will have to pay the morgage for 10 years. I have been raising my 7 children in this home mostly.Three of them are grown and gone 4 more still live at home.Its not much but we call it home.THank you to anyone that reads my words. I seem to feel the weight of this house in my heart daily, but I get up and continue on and do the best I can do for the day.I never give up hope. I have been through many of life's storms and came through I also pull a positive out of all the negative experiences I have been through.
I've never posted anything so please bare with me if I mess it up. Anyway, I've recentley had some life changing events happen to me and I just need to feel connected somehow. I was in a near fatal car accident in mid April. I was ejected out of a vehicle went through the glass and landed on the interstate. My injuries were so bad no one thought I was going to make it. Needless to say I did and I am making a remarkable recovery. My accident was just a couple weeks ago and with my fractures, internal injuries and scars and severe deep road rash that covers about 35% of my body I am well enough to walk and get around pretty good. I know this was miracle there is no other way to explain it. Fortunatley I was the only person with any injuries in the accident, everyone else is safe and I am so grateful for my daughter and husband being well and unharmed as well as the other drivers in the accident. I am so thankful to everyone who helped to save my life that day and to the people who will help me in the future. I have a new apperciation for life. If anyone would like to share there experiences it would be nice to read them. I wonder if the new found love of life is a typical reaction to such an event. I'll be waiting to read your stories pixie1
Ever heard of the song from long ago I'm on top of the world looking down on creation? Thats exactly how I feel. How I did this, all by changing my thoughts. It is so amazing. I have eyes and I now see. I have ears and now I could hear. Kicked the old habits of negative thoughts and surely replaced them with positive ones. It works. Practice,practice and more practice until finally they disappear. I am so grateful for everything. Be,do, becoming anything we put our minds to. Thankyou Heavenly Father in Jesus name Feeling Wonderful Everyday no matter what. Learned alot from Being happy for no reason. Just being
Everyone of you thankyou and have a blessed day throughout the year and many more to follow.

Hello, I am Shana Jones. I am 19 years old, and I live in Charleston SC. I have a beautiful one year old son. I am absolutely in love with FASHION! Every where I go, there is a compliment on an outfit I have put together for either myself or my son. I have a wide passion for fashion. I am a student at Trident Technical College as of now. I am a member of the honor society, however, my grades are not as pretty as before (but they are still good). In January 2010, I will be attending The Art Institute of Charleston, with a major in Fashion and Retail Management. However, this is a private institute so I will have to use many loans! My parents aren't behind my decisions 100% being that I am turning away from my Radiology major. I see it as, Fashion is my life. Radiolody will not make me happy, in fact I don't think I would be able to graduate with a major in Radiology, because I absolutely hate it! My advisors at my current school say I should just follow my dreams, and forget about the debt that I may have to come. Yet, they have parents that are doctors who paid for their college. I am in a bind. I have searched scholarships all over the country! Being that The Art Institute of Charleston is a private school, there aren't many scholarships available. I am very passionate about my Fashion career and I would not mind designing my own clothes some day. As of now, my hopes and dreams are to suceed for myself and my son. I will do absolutely anything in my will, I am the type that will help anyone. I and thankful for my stance, however, I really need a grant or scholarship that will help toward my education. I am willing to work in order to help pay for my education; I just would like some help. If there is any one who could help me in this situation, please Contact me. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story.
We got caught up in a bad cycle with a cash advance company and just can not get a head. We are behind on our bills and need help! If we could get $425.00 to pay the cash advance off then we could work on paying our other bills and get them back on time. If anyone could help we would be so thankful.
My name is Desiree Darlene Hernandez and i am looking for a sponser. I am reallyb excited to go to Paris but my mom said I might not be able to go which really depresses me. I think to myself imagine if i could go what I would see. I am in a program called people to people. This program takes you around the world and helps you as an indivisual grow and see how it is to make it on your own in life. I want to attend UCLA which is 8 hours from where i live. I live in Tucson, Arizona. I am 16 years old I am almost going to be 18 and be an adult and pretty soon i will have to be on my own. So this trip will help me alot in that catergory. The trip will take me to Switerland, Italy, Paris, and London. But the problem is that it will cost 6,000 dollors and thats not even including money for gifts and stuff in that sort. I sometimes cry thinking about it cause this trip could have changed my life. The 400 dollor dead line has to be in by october,2,2009 so i kind of think its to late in a way. But i don't want it to be late. So if anyone would take the time to hear me out. Or if you would consider me to be my sponser. You dont know how apperciative I would be.
Hi my name is Beverly, within the past two years I have been in a fire and lost everything, my granddaughter lost her legs to a bacteria infection. We had to stay at the hospital for two months, about three months after we came home we had the fire. I have three children of my own, ages 13, 15, and 17, I finally got me an apartment but, I don't have any furniture. I can efford to pay my rent but I have a hard time paying my bills. Thank you for any support you can give right now. If it is just someone to talk to I would be very thankful,
I have been through alot and learned from each of the lessons.
I have A Savior Who Died for Me On Calvary, and rose from His Grave, and will soon return.
I have A God That Loves Me..
I have a roof over my head...
I have a comfortable bed to sleep in.
I have a computer to work on.
I have feet for walking, nose for smelling, eyes that see, ears that hear, fingers that touch and grab with, I have seeds for planting, and water is still available.
The Holidays are hear and I am broke cant afford gas for my vehicle, food, cant pay my phone bill, electric or gas, or water bill, couldnt buy Christmas gifts for my kids and we just got hit by a horriable ice storm and I went to my college finals and ended up slippin and falling on the unsulted parking lot. Un-real!!! I hurt my arm, my elbow, my legs, my neck, lower back.
Its just awful. Im off school until the 5th of January I believe. I need it im exhausted mentally and physically. I need a blessing and miricale.
I'am a single mother of 4 ages 14,12,9,and 1. The 1 yr old was a complete surprise and because I beleive a parent should be the one who raises their children. My older children are now making sacrifieces they never thought they would have to. I'm staying home and have a child I babysit,which means theres two many kids to go anywhere my car seats 5, I live 25 miles from town. Thankfully gas has come down some, but its still hard to pull all the peices together at this time of year. I try to share somethings with the older kids, so they can help and try to understand, but I dont want them worrying all the time.They all are great students, and I think thats the most important thing they can focus on. I would never ask for much, just enough to put a smile on their faces. Any amount of help thats out there will be so appreicated, and know my four wonderful children will understand there turn will come to give back. Thank you Alisa
