I’m getting hit on several fronts at once, spiritually, business, family, etc. and in a big way. I guess it’s par for the course when you are reaching out to others helping them out of the darkness. I am humbly requesting prayers for support through these tough times, especially with my little brother, for I have an intervention with him Sunday, he’s on hard drugs and we are trying to get him to rehab before it’s too late.

Thank you all CAF for your prayers and thoughts, God bless you!!!
 
Hang in there. Say plenty of Rosaries, attend Mass as often as possible. Try to leave some matters in God’s hand and not do it all.

God Bless,

You are in my prayers.

Take him to the funeral home and have him preselect his coffin.

it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy."

Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Praying hard for your brother, especially…
 
I want to thank you for your prayers. We couldn’t reach my brother, so he’s out in the world doing Lord knows what. I am forced to shift gears back to the basics of the basics in my life, have to find some place to live, some how by Saturday, a very long complex story behind it, that’s just too much to detail tonight. I’ve moved over 10 times in a year and a half, relatives refused to offer aid of any kind, which reinforces the fact, I don’t need to live near them at all, nor should I continue to subject myself to them, they just don’t get it and there is nothing I can do any more along that matter. Business slowed to almost nothing, so have to get a regular job, and unless something happens, will be rebuilding my life from the street itself.

I’m using these times and experiences to grow from spiritually, things Christ experienced, I’m learning first hand what it was, and of course, not to the depth he faced, it’s teaching me just how tough he really had it. For now, I have my faith to cling hold of, I can lose everything else, but not that, and it’s not as much of a struggle there, for it makes me think of in scripture, when Jesus asked the apostles if they desired to leave like the rest, they exclaimed and “where would we go to?”, and this I say as well, “where would I go to?”.

So, at this stage, I really still need prayers, the struggle is far from over with.
 
I’m sorry things are so challenging for you right now. Praying for you and your family, that God may soften your relatives’ hearts, and that your brother will one day see the errors of his ways and seek God’s love and mercy. :signofcross:

For your intentions…

Lord Jesus Christ,
I’m upset and disturbed,
and I pray that You will grant me
the grace of inner Peace.
As You commanded the storm winds at sea to be calm,
command the storms in my life to be calmed.
Give me the patience I need
to cope with the burdens and anxieties of my life.
Grant me the strength to better deal with my problems,
and the understanding to be more tolerant
and kind to others.
Teach me to seek after Your will
which alone brings peace of mind
and peace of heart.
Amen
 
Well, I’m finding myself now sleeping in the back of my truck, made a make shift canopy for it, I’m dragging around cats in the process, nobody will house them and the only option with the local cat shelter is to put them down, of which I refuse.

I am using my barn/shop space landlords bathroom to sponge bath from the sink, and am at this stage, homeless. No viable reasources at this stage. If I can find a free rv or trailer or camper, I can keep it here to live out of. so, down to the total basics, and essentially camping in the raw now. At least I have my work space to reside in, it’s exposed to the elements on one side, but at least it’s secured for another month. Thank the lord for the kindness from my landlord to allow me to do this while I find something out.

Will keep you guys updated as things come along here.

Thank you for your prayers.
 
Praying that you find a true home for yourself and your cats …

Praise be the Lord most high, let all of heaven rejoice in his being, all things are possible through him, and in his just mercy, even the most lowly will be raised on high.

I want to thank all of you for your diligent prayers, the past week and a half, sleeping in the back of my truck, underneath a make shift canopy, adding onto this, my cats as well who were not allowed to roam about, confined to it, the thing was really exposed to the elements and quite confined myself, then adding onto it, being simply exposed to the pac. nw weather all day long between sleeping. I now very much empathise with the homeless in a real and direct way, more so then I ever imagined before, and I thought I could before…seriously, you have to experience life like this to really know where they are coming from guys.

I found a trailer, had to really, really hussle to get it, thank the Lord for making sure I purchased that broadband portable wireless modem and cell, without those resources, I’d be still stuck in that spot for far longer. The guy that sold it to me even delivered it, I had to scrounge up funds from selling things I never used, thought were worthless, but found out they are not, and other things I really wanted to keep, but knew I can replace to get, to get this, and with the Lords help, I had enough to do this.

It needs work, but compared to how I have been living, it’s a luxury hotel suite.

I have to add onto this, I now finally, for the first time in my life have some good friends, family, in and out of the church, I have a working game plan to pursue as well, helping the down and out, the homeless, and doing so much more directly, not at all thrilled with our programs we have in place, I have to extend what I can, within my own resources as I have them to help.

Thank you all for your prayers, I also thank the angels and saints, and our Blessed Mother Mary and Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father.
