We could use some Prayer

Hi Family and friends:

Just a little note to ask you for prayer for us.  I don't want to go into too much detail, but I am struggling w/ trying not to worry about everything.

Jim isn't bouncing back, and so more and more falls on me.  I hurt my back shoveling snow.  I can't get to the gym, and my bones need it.  My cold urticaria hurts in this weather, but Jim can't take the dog out, so, I'm struggling there.  Our van's transmission went again, and we have to get rid of the van.  Now we are only down to 1 car, which isn't a problem, except the van is the only vehicle we had that Jim could sit in comfortably, and our car is the only vehicle that is reliable.  This is a very big issue.  Our health insurance has changed, and I have been looking at getting a job, but I just don't know how to juggle anymore.  We need money or new insurance.   We have an appointment w/ a medicare counselor to figure out all this mess and how we can get away from the additional 7 to 8K medical expenses we are facing this year.  We thought it was going to be an extra 6k, but thought that would include meds, but it doesn't.  In the meantime, I am selling stuff on Ebay again, but even that extra bit of stress is just really playing havoc on me. And then I will have to start going to sales again to get inventory to sell, and....just typing it out, I have to fight against fear and worry.

I know these are light and momentary troubles, God's word says, but I sure could use a reprieve.  So, please please please pray for me.  And Jim too.

On a very good note.  I love my dog.  What a joy he has been.  Jim loves him, too.  He makes us smile, and he's a kind soul.  We wish we could bring him in bed to cuddle, but we can't cause of Jim's immune system.  He's a sweet pup, tho. 

Well, that's it.  I hope the only thing you hear is a request for prayer.
