Please Pray...

At this time in my life it seems I'm having a running series of crisis. Well, we'll start with me, please pray that I'll be a wonderful mother guided by God.I have a meeting on Jan. 12th, with some people who will determine if I keep my job or not. Whatever their decision, I'm still a mother, who must provide for her family. I have one blessing of a little boy, he is 17 months now, and was truly a blessing.He's very healthy and active now, not at all what I thought he would be like (that's a good thing!). but I also try to help take care of my mother, who at times is much more childlike than my son, in my opinion.Which often tries my nerves since she has a teenage son she was raising. How I was brought up and how she handles things with him, are extremely different. I often find myself wanting to reprimand him as well as her. So I need help with that. Another thing is she's been having problems, that are consuming her. Not a drug or alcohol problem. But money problems. You see as I grew up I knew there was a God for the simple fact I live how I lived, I had the best whether I felt as though I wanted or not. But my family isn't and wasn't rich. I know prayer works, I know God listens. I just need people to come into agreement with me. Even though my family has never had an abundance of money, it's been bothering my mother lately. My younger siblings are VERY materialistic. So they feel "unloved" by mother when something they really want, not need, is unavailable to them.My two sisters ran away quite some time ago because of it. Within the past few years, the girls managed to get themselves mixed up with DHS, and although they wanted to come home and mother wants them they still have to go through a process which has been drugged out to the fullest. Her son who is the youngest and her only son has also been put in DHS, for numerous of reasons. He misses school often because he is sick. He doesn't have a illness he's just prone to getting...well everything. She figures if she had "enough money everything would be fine". I told her I'm okay I work and pay bills. I'm not a delinquent, or something, and I had less money growing up with her than they did.She ignores that and continues to believe in the if onlys. So please pray for her. Also pray for my son's father, (I feel awkward saying ex husband when I'm so young LOL), he's on the fast track to destruction, if I may so plainly put it. Our marriage was annulled recently. But he's been sleeping around and drinking for quite some time. Before we broke up I offered to go to family counseling. I had noticed the changes when I was pregnant and thought I would "prevent anything bad from happening to my happily ever after". Needless to say it didn't work and my whole world was blown away. On the rare occasion that I speak with him, he makes it a point to try to hurt me, not physically, but with his words, various things, like how he'll move in with another woman, have a child, and ten bring the child by the house to show him or her off.I try not to expose my son to that and I don't want to seem like I don't want my son to know his father, but I can't control his father, so I can't make him NOT hurt his son's feelings. So any suggestions would help and of course prayers are absolutely superb! So now that I've pretty much poured my heart out I'll say thank you for all your prayers and encouragements. God Bless!!

First I want to say thank you again. People often say you need to have patience, I for one never wanted it because I knew in order to get patience to had to go through tribulations. I guess God has other plans for me...as usual. It bed nice to know them though.

Quick update...In so many words, I've lost my job and with it my medical insurance which also covers my son and he has an appointment coming up. However I do have faith that God will pull me out of this somehow. So all I can do is pray and thank God for what I do have.
