| Where I've been..... |

Dear Family,
Just wanted to let my wonderful MyChurch family know whats been going on...
Amanda Joy is still struggling with the separation of her and her husband, she doesnt think she is struggling, but she is. She's hanging with the wrong crowd....making unwise decisions, etc. It's hard knowing what to say to your adult child when you see they are going the wrong way... On the bright side....my Melody is doing wonderful and I pray that stays the same.
Rodger is now officially unemployed and, my hours at work have been cut back. We are struggling financially. This past month we were able to pay something on all our bills, except our mortgage. This next month we will not be able to pay our mortgage again. We are currently negotiating for a loan modification and contemplating bankruptcy.... And.... there is something else... I just can't get it off my mind...It's funny and I feel a little silly telling you all what it is, but... I'm afraid that if we lose our house and have to rent, I will have to give up my doggies ....isn't that insane? *sigh*... I just love my little critters.... At any rate....I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I know God knows what's happening .
I know I havent been on MyChurch much. I get on to check my messages but am finding it hard to get enthusiastic about "surfing" the site as much as I used too. I know though that once this trial passes...or I get used to it ...haha... I'll have this wonderful place to come back too... full force :)
Please keep us in your prayers my friends....
Love Robin |

| Robin: It is tough times for everyone right now. We just have to hang in there and trust the Lord. We do what we can and He'll have to do the rest. |

Regarding your dogs, NO, that is not insane! The Lord knows how much they mean to you! He considers the sparrows, right? Yesterday morning a chickadee hit my glass front door and I went out, gently took it in my hands, and prayed over it. It's OK now, and still feasting at Lara's deckside diner. lol And going along with that....if He considers the sparrow, how much more shall He see to it that YOU and your fam are fed and clothed, and provided for? It is a TRIAL and faith builder! Oh my, do we know! And here's my two cent's worth regarding Amanda: I got married young, professing Christ, but not yet choosing Him, if that makes sense? I knew of Him, thought I knew Him, but didn't yet. So anyways, I got a divorce. I did everything imaginable by way of sin...and my best friend's mom told me one day when I was living at home the first year I was saved, she told me how my mom (who's like a mom to her) had said to her one day how she didn't think I would ever get saved. My mom really began to lose hope, seeing me make the wrong desicions and self-destruct. But guess what? HERE I AM. Because of her prayers and many other's prayers. so you keep praying for her, and remembering that these times can draw her to the Lord. Hardships do that, as we know. Don't ever lose your hope, don't blame yourself, and just give her to God, as super hard as that is. God's got her number; He's got her in the palm of His hand and He will fulfill His purpose for her. Love you, Robin, and praying for you, believing your faith will NOT fail you. May you feel the Lord's presence and peace thicker than ever, and come out pure gold. |

| Prayers for you Robin......sorry to hear that you guys are struggling!! So many people are struggling right now, yet we STILL haven't seen anything like the persecution of believers around the world who face death for their faith. That's meant as an encouragement.....we are still wealthy by the world's standards, so I hope you can remain energized for God and joyful as you walk with him. God bless!!! |

| Not sure who your lien holder is but we are going through the "exact" here. We both lost jobs in 2008..My hours got cut to 16 in August. The temporary job I got in December ends this week. We are working with Bank of America now who we have remained in contact with since all of this began. There is billions of dollars floating at all the banks now so know that they have the funds to remodify....I don't know the justs of all but due to the Government bailing them out they have to start making loans. We have asked that our 2 payments past due be tagged at the end of loan or new loan and our payments be cut in half.

There is help out there.................God Bless |

Never met you Robin but please don't go away. Keep us posted and staying on here is a way to keep your prayer partners petitioning heaven for you. Stay strong, don't know what California is like for jobs but it is rough all over. I am saddened about hearing recently that more owners are sending pet to the pound because they can't afford to keep them. I hope you find a solution for you and your pets. I have 2 dogs, 1 cat and a hamster and wouldn't want to part with any of them. Believing for you! |

For your daughter, pray for someone to come witness with her. My friend always reminds me that if am faithful to witness with others children, then God will be faithful to send someone to witness with mine. Mark 6:4 "A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” The Holy Bible : English standard version.2001 (Mk 6:4). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society. Lord, bless Rodger and Robin's marriage by renewing their love for each other this Valentine's Day. Bless them in their mind, body and spirit. Giving health to their flesh, meeting their needs financially, and restoring their spirits by your Holy Spirit. God, If it is your will, please Lord, let them keep their puppies. You have charged them as guardians over them, and they do so in love. God, Robin can not see the mountain top while she is walking in the valley. Please Lord, give her Your vision of where You are taking them through this trial. James 1:2-4 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. The Holy Bible : English standard version.2001 (Jas 1:2-4). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society. Lord, we trust you in all things great and small. You are Holy and Justified. I pray in Jesus name. Amen. |

Friends.... Things are pretty much the same.... except Melody had emergency surgery on Tuesday of this week.... we went into the E.R. due to severe stomach pains on Sunday evening, and it turned out to be her appendix. She's doing good tho and is at home right now healing which is an awesome blessing. It was a very unusual Easter...haha, but like I said everythng else is about the same. Thanks so much for your prayers. Love Robin |
