I'm doing the Snoopy dance right now!  

Isn't answered prayer a wonderful thing!!! I am truly pleased that you're now caught up till the end of the month. Having paid it back the first time is I'm sure a good reason why there wasn't much hesitation this time. I am still very taken back by the utility company there, I know for a fact they won't cut you off here and also I have been behind many many times in fact every winter for the last four years. This is the first winter where I have been able to pay in full, and there was never a problem I simply said I will pay as much as I possibly can but I only have so many dollars to share between power, gas, water and telephone and everyone was good with that. Mind you again I did pay it up. That should be all that matters in difficult times.

My dear friend..I had to go back and read what you were referring to and since I am not here very much it is very easy to slip and miss so many discussions of my friends.
I have caught up on this one and I can only say that I am so relieved for you and grateful that you have such a wonderful pastor who is helping you now. What a kind man and isn't it so that miracles happen in mysterious ways??I am so sorry for your troubles there and may the new year see you in a much better situation financially! Life can be so tough for people, especially now with the crunch on the economy.
I wish you strength and the stamina to hang in there and find the positive always when things get so bad. The best to you. Let 2009 be your best year yet! I sincerely wish you much help, health and happiness! -Leif

It was the "don't make Terre come down there" that did it......

I am so happy...Jim says he would do the Snoopy dance with you but he is soooo sick right now.....please pray for him...

Everything works out....I know.....

Lots of love PPP

WOO-HOO, hunny! Glad it worked out for you... being without power is awful, no matter where you live. Our utility company actually has funds for elderly and low-income... we all add an extra $1 or 5 to our payments a few times a year and it really adds up. One year, there was a surplus, so our donations were much smaller. It seems to be a very workable system.
I'm dancin' with you... hugs!!

Sweet I am so happy that it has all worked out for you
Big Hugs to you

Thats just great that the pastor is helping you with the electric bill. I know times are super tough now for alot of us, specially the ones who have lost their jobs like my husband did back in Sept. I've literally placed our future in God's hands through prayer here at home and constantly watching for signs that he's trying his best to help guide us in the right direction. So far, our mortgage is several months behind but the bank is working with us and we are trying to come up with money to at least keep foreclosure at bay. Electric and Gas are getting paid by energy assistance so they haven't been hounding me for money and my phone bill is actually caught up which surprised the heck outta me when the bill came to my inbox and it was paid up. Now to figure out who the angel was so I could give them a huge hug in gratitude. Medical bills and credit card bills are literally on back burner and they can kiss my butt for all I care since the important bills are first and foremost.

I am so happy for you! I didn't respond to the previous discussion, but I did see it, and said a small prayer for you. I know how hard it can be dealing with the electric company, as I have had a couple close calls with them myself. But the Lord, as always, came through for you in your hour of need. Blessings to you, and hopes that this will be the biggest obstacle you will have to overcome this year!

Good for you!!! I remember when I was raising three kids by myself and sometimes didn't know where the next meal was coming from....sometimes I would go to the mailbox and there would be some strange check coming out of nowhere like a refund on insurance or something I totally wasn't expecting. You are so right. He does take care of us.....over and over and over again! When you have faith you have hope....when you have hope you have everything!

i am with you in this one... recently, my dad had a heart attack. and i thought we were going to lose him. but through prayers, miraculously he is alright now!!! apart from losing a bit of weight and taking it easy, he is ok. without anything wrong with him. so God is good...

Wow, Carryl. I am just so thrilled to hear this. Thank God for your pastor. The world needs more men like him, who will take a stand, and throw away the rulebook from time to time. It does my heart good to see compassion in action.

I was waiting to hear good news like this, in the midst of trouble, and am so thankful that the good news is 'yours.'

Take care my friend.

Hugs.
