I was not aware pages like this existed. I am not sure where this will go, but I am going to take a leap of faith and put it out there. If nothing else, I know there are people out there who will pray for us. =)
I am a stay at home mom of 5. My husband barely brings in enough to cover the bills. We live with family, so we are blessed that we have a roof over our head and food in our mouths. However, we have been here for 7 years and the stress level has gotten way out of control.
I have a small business from home, but have had marginal results. I have had a hard time finding qualified business partners and with 4 children under 8, my 'free' time to build is scarce. I have learned the skills to get out of debt, without increasing my income and that has been working well. However, we still need to increase our income to move into a home of our own.
As much as I'd like a few thousand of dollars to fall from heaven, I know that it just doesn't happen that way. But, I would greatly appreciate recommendations and prayers. I have found a teaching program to help me build up my business and grow my income, but, as with any schooling, there are costs...which we cannot afford.
I tithe 20% of my business income and gift as often as I can. I pray that someone can direct me to resources to help us.
I am a mom of 5. I am married. I love my God, my husband, my children and my business...in THAT order. I have always worked hard to earn what I have. I do not believe in sitting back and milking the 'system'. I am not too proud to ask for help. My heart is to help others and show them love.
