yes we have tried catholic charities here, churches and the salvation army here in st joe mo. all of them are already out of funds or dont have enough funds to help.
i dont know why we cant get any help. this town doesnt have much for options. and its so tough to even survive. the jobs here are terrible, barely pay enough and if you do find a job that pays over 10 dollars an hour they are connected to the union which takes out over 200 in each check. its starting to get ridiculous. you cant even make enough to pay the price tag on rent and food cuz they keep rising to. dont know what to do. my man has decided to sacrifice himself and serve over seas so he can bring some income into our lives that will help us make it every month. its not fair we have to sacrifice everything just to pay rent now.

 in response to ekikaseven...   Thank you. He always has, still does, and will continue to do in the days ahead, just the same as He will you.
Have a great day
love C & T

 in response to susie's son...   God bless you too Son.

 in response to ekikaseven...   I agree. Looking at God's creation is like looking at God. His fingerprints are all over it.
I am happy to hear you are feeling better today, because I know God is answering our prayers. I cannot wait to hear about your miracle. Remember we are made perfect through our struggles, and that's when our faith reaches it's greatest strength. God has something wonderful in store for you and His timing will be perfect.
I hope you have a great night too, and wake to a painless day filled with blessings.
God Bless you Mom

 in response to susie's son...   Son,

I am so glad that you had a relaxed day & also that T is feeling better.
I doing okay today.
Every day I get to look at G-d's green earth is a wonderful experience & a blessing.

Have a great night,
Mom

 in response to char6...   I think that whatever is inside eventually comes out, good or bad, and the fruits of the Spirit shine through you.

 in response to susie's son...   You are so right about how Jesus see's need with love. Its hard with our human nature to naturally do that but with prayer and dedication we can..I never thought about Jesus as without a home but that makes sense with all his travels he wouldnt always look the part of a King..
I want others to view me based on whats inside instead of the outward and know thats what majority of people want as well.
I appreciate your prayers and hope that all is going well with you and Tori!
God Bless
Char

 in response to sandy24...   Thanks Lee

 in response to char6...   I think the best prayer that we should all say and try to follow is to see others through the eyes of Jesus. He does not see anything but the need, and with love He responds.
He also was without a home during His ministry. I am sure He went days without clean clothes, and the dust from the dirty roads probably caused some to look at Him in judgement. There may have been times that He went without a bath, and had to rely on the kindness of others to met His needs.
People followed Jesus because of His love & compassion, not for the way He looked, dressed, or smelled. Thankfully He looks at our hearts and not our appearance.
God will lead you in the right direction. Keep praying, and I will continue to be in prayer for you too.
thanks for the update
GOD BLESS

 in response to susie's son...   Good am CHris and thank you for your support in these unchartered waters Im in. I think some of the best advice you gave me is to do nothing if Im not sure and I try to apply that to many area's of my life. I wanted to share with you, yesterday the shelter I wanted to call was closed or at least not answering the phone..so I prayed about who God would send for me to help. Maybe it wont be in the form of who I think so I know I need to keep my mind and heart open because sometimes we have an image of who we want to help and not really know it until the opposite turns up and its not what we had in mind..so midway through my day, I see a guy selling something walk up my walkway and Im irriated because I cant not answer the door because he see's me through the window..he knocks and then rings the bell and im irriated..I talk to him through the window and find he is selling kirby's..NOT interested I tell him. I know Im a little rude but his image put me off..a black kid dressed poorly, trying to talk me into something I didnt want and couldnt afford. Coming from a black background myself and being in a group home as as kid, I didnt have nice clothes either and I felt really convicted making these judgements about this kid who later told me he is putting himself through city college and taking German because no one would expect a kid who looked like him to speak it...that played through my mind almost simutaneously as I felt God was speaking to me that if Im going to help people, I have to put the judgements aside..they are not going to be physically or socially what I may expect but thats not what I should be worried about if I want to offer them help and for it to be genuine I have to look past the physical because the homeless will be diry, smell, have nothing new to wear and no dental or medical..so how should I expect them to look? LIke me? certainly not..so I changed my attitude in the middle of our conversation but I remembered what you said about being smart and safe..just because I established a rapport with him didnt mean I was going to let him come in to clean my tile with no one home. In fact, I made it seem like my husband was around the house and not at work..the kid said he made 50 dollars even if we didnt buy anything and he really needed the money for school. He talked about only having a Mother who believed in him and told me her name was Charlotte..that was interesting to me also since thats my full name..but I ended up telling him to come back after 6 and we can ask my husband for sure..he was so happy when his manager came by and he told him they could come back after 6, we were his only appt that day. I had actually just prayed about who to help and he showed up, but because I had my own idea of what I was expecting, perhaps to help some struggling mom buy groceries or buy a meal for someone, I almost lost sight of the fact that Im not in charge of it, but I have to still be willing to serve and listen..Im also glad your advice about being careful was ringing in my head to remind me to be safe as well..I really feel the whole experience was an eye opener to the direction I am going to go in and to prepare me to change my eyes and see people the way God does or else I wont be of any help to them...
So pls continue to keep me in your prayers and Ill keep ya updated
Love in Christ
char

 in response to char6...   You are welcome. I will to remind you of something that I know you already are aware of.
Whenever you do not know what to do, then do nothing until you are prayed through and the Lord leads.
God bless & have a good evening.

 in response to susie's son...   your advice is right, I know its not safe and God knew I needed to hear that. A tiny part of me was thinking What if I just go do it and then tell him about it, because I dont want him to try to stop me and Im glad I didnt listen to that voice, but instead hearing from you this valuabe info on how to stay safe. One thing my dad has repeatedly told me is that its great to serve but I need to continue putting my own family's needs first and God doesnt want me helping others at the cost of neglecting my own..I tend to overdo when I do something..OCD...and have to learn to make provisions for my household before I tackle other committments..so Im glad we talked about this and Ill continue to bounce idea's off you since you have alot of knowledge in this area..i appreaciate it and Im going to start slow, make some calls tmw and start with information then go from there.
Thank you for all the things I didnt think about and bringing them up to me :)
Char

 in response to char6...   Well a soup kitchen will require a food manager, and volunteers with food permits. You also need to have the Health department approve it. If you are able to pull it all together your area food bank can help. You also have to find out about the zoning area and probably get it approved through your city council and city manager. The same conditions will probably apply to a shelter. It is sometimes difficult to get residents to agree to having a shelter or a soup kitchen in their area, and I think the easiest way to accomplish it is to have it at a church. A church will also be considered non-profit which will help with cost.
You do need to be careful when going out on the streets. Not all homeless people have bad intentions, but being desperate can cause people to do things that they would not normally do, but that's includes all people just not the homeless.
I think you are headed in the right direction by talking with shelters, discussing it with your husband, and of course allowing the Lord to lead.
I will continue to pray for you and your ministry.
God Bless

 in response to susie's son...   I was working on a plan and still thinking and figuring it out and of course praying about it before I present it to my husband. After reading your post, I have alot more to consider and I cant believe I was ready to go into the streets unprotected..Im not sure he would have let me go without him, but as you mentioned the girls/women I wanted to reach may be afraid of men and i didnt want them to be afraid by bringing my husband.
Thank you for mentioning about dressing down because I have found out the hard way when I went into inner city housing to teach that I am a target and didnt realize it until my car was surrounded by not so nice people and by the grace of God, they let me go..but I drew unnecessary attention and thats a good thing to remember NOT to do by blending in and not dressing up..
you mentioned starting a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen, do you have any idea of the first steps to get that started? Or should I talk to a homeless shelter that is currently open and get advice from them on how to start?
all the info you are giving me is priceless, I cant tell you how grateful I am because I was only thinking about helping them and not how I need to be smart..Im a little apprehensive about telling my husband I know he will think its a danger and not want me to go, but Im sure he will come with me so as long as I can help then thats fine...My thoughts for this week were to pass out food in the daytime and get a feel for things in the area..I wont be in the area I live in because it really doesnt have a shelter, it has a huge house that allows families evicted to stay for free until they save for deposits but they must be working to stay there so its a little different that the shelters..but there are several in the next town and thats where I think Ill concentrate on...thank you for your advice and pls continue to keep me in prayer, I dont want to do something on my own with out serious thought and direction from God and I definitely dont want to do something unsafe..I also value your friendship and so glad you brought this all to my attention.
Char

 in response to char6...   OK, it seems that you have a plan. Since I value your friendship and am concerned about your safety I want to offer you a few pointers.
Do not for any reason attempt to go out and try to minister to the homeless alone, especially at night. This is a risk and even more so since you are a woman. Night time ministry is best done by men and should be done in groups of 3. If you feel the need to reach out to a young lady, do it during the day. There are some ladies that will not respond to men because they have been hurt by them, but you do need to have someone with you in reaching out to women also.
Another good idea is to dress for the part. I don't mean dress down, but it's best not to wear expensive clothes and don't carry a purse.
Do not offer money, rides in your car, or tell anyone where you live. Offer them the what they need, food, clothing, and blankets. You could hand out a tract to them, and invite them to your church, but don't push God onto them. Showing love is the first step, plant the seed and allow God to lead and do the rest.
I don't know the area where you are located, but here on any given night you can drive through the streets and see those who are hurting. Some towns do not have shelters and these hurting people are left to seek a place to sleep and be on guard for their safety when night time comes.
Remember that some of these people are desperate, and you have to keep that in mind when you open your heart to them. Do not tell them how to live, or counsel them on what they did wrong. Ministry is not to freedom to correct because we have not walked in their shoes or share their pain. Ministry is sharing love and empathy wherever it's needed.
I suggest you start at a homeless shelter, or a soup kitchen. This will keep you safe, and allow God to show you who to reach out to. You will get to know the regulars that go there and that makes reaching out to then a lot easier.
I have done street ministry, but I would not allow my wife to do it, and I am only offering these suggestions to you in regards to your safety.
So begin with prayer, allow God to lead, and stay safe. One of the greatest blessings we can receive is when we give of ourselves without expecting anything in return, because that's when God blesses us the most. You may reach out to many but only affect a few, but reaching out in love is the example Christ left for us.
I will keep you in my prayers, and look forward to seeing the direction your ministry takes.
Take care & God Bless

 in response to susie's son...   hi Chris
Thank you for so many valuable things I need to consider. You are right when you say most states offer some kind of help as Im finding that out but they are under funded so how many they can help depends..after thinking about this I feel led to reach out more to the kids with absolutely no resources..the ones in homeless shelters who have no chance at college or family and possible run aways...Our church is so large everthing thing they do is on a corporate level and I think thats great but I like to help on a more personal level.
I think for now Im going to do this on my own because I dont want to be responsible for other adults and their behavior or actions towards those that have already been tramatized..just dont want to take any chances..I appreciate your suggestions and will keep you updated on any progress in this area...thank you for your prayers Im looking forward to this new ministry
God Bless and hope you and Tori are well
Char

 in response to char6...   Hi Char,
I think each state may be different, but I do think that they all offer some type of help.
I think the first step to take is to contact your local CPS office. In Texas CPS sets up a program for these kids before they leave the system. It's called Transitional Planning or Circles of Support.which serves them until they are 21. They are also offered the PAL program, (Preparation for Adult Living). Foster kids can also stay in care in a program called Extended Care, if they go to college.
So maybe the first step is to reach out to them through the state, and through your local homeless shelters. I do work with the homeless, and our church has a special group that ministers to teen agers and young adults. Lack of need is never a problem, the problem is finding people that will dedicate themselves. The worse thing that a young person needs just starting out is people who do not follow through. These kids have already had their fair share of problems, and do not need additional pain from those they think they can trust.
Background checks and fingerprinting may not be required if you are doing something on an individual level, but I think it's always a good idea when you are dealing with people. Of course it does not assure that an incident will not take place, and I think it really needs to be done on all individuals if you are setting up a support group for these kids. The last thing these kids need is to victimized.
You probably do not have to be a foster parent to be able to help, since these kids are considered adults. I would hope that if they are already in a foster home that those foster parents are assisting in the transition, but I do know that is not always the case.
There are a lot of run aways out there that nobody cares about, or looks for. There are also the kids that have been abandoned by their family because they don/t meet their expectations. These are the kids that my heart goes out to. There may be help available, but they have no support system, and will seek negative ways to survive.
Good luck in this ministry. I will be praying that the Lord leads you in the right direction and puts others in your path that can assist you.
Whenever we allow God to lead through our hearts we will be blessed and hopefully many needs will be met.
God Bless

 in response to susie's son...   Hello Chris,
Today was a pretty good day, I saw lots of students and enjoyed the rain..I hope that you had a good day as well and hope you got better weather this week...when you have time pls let me know if you have any idea's about how i can best reach foster kids who are aging out. I know you have some knowledge about these kids and do you know if I have to become a foster parent first to be able to have contact with them? Im thinking I probably do for reasons of safety to the kids such as fingerprinting/background but Im not for certain..any thoughts on this pls let me know
God Bless
Char

 in response to char6...   I hope you have a good day too.

We went to church last night, we don't have Thursday service. It was nice to go, and it was nice to have yesterday free of appointments.
Take care and rest well tonight.
C & T

In case I didnt give you the latest update, Kyori is 100% better. He is eating, playing and not having difficulty breathing. I am so thankful for your prayers and to all of you that took time to hold my baby up in prayer. It truly works and God listens even if its not in our own time, he is always faithful
Thanks again
with love

 in response to susie's son...   Chris,
I hope you and Tori enjoyed a day with no doctors and such. I know it must be nice to just be able to relax and experience what most of us consider to be a normal day. I hope that you got to church today, I know that would really be uplifting for you, it is always something I enjoy and Ive missed the past couple of weeks due to the baby being sick so looking forward to going this Saturday.. I was just logging off when I saw you online so wanted to say hi and hope that you had a great day with your wife and have a good night as well. I hoped to be on longer but Ive been researching science fair projects for some of my students who need help and about to fall asleep..so blessings to you and Tori and will talk to you more tmw
God Bless
char

 in response to sandy24...   Sorry Lee, we did not get the email, or I would have responded. I did put on a new anti-virus, so maybe it got caught in the spam mail. You are in my address book, so it should have went through, but I will check to see if it is hiding somewhere on my computer, LOL
I am surprised you still have your company there, but I am sure you are enjoying the time with your friends. I am glad that you have started to warm up some, even if you have to tolerate the wet & muddy conditions. I bet the dogs are tracking the weather in with them, LOL.
We had a good Valentine's Day together, and a good 1 month anniversary. We have been busy, and yesterday was the first day since surgery that we did not have appointments, so that was very nice.
I hope all is well with you, Take care & God Bless

 in response to PittsburghMomma...   I am sure that the coupons will benefit someone, thanks for sharing.
We did go to church, in fact we just got home. It was a wonderful service.
I hope you have a good night too. Rest well & God bless

 in response to susie's son...   i think coupons are more of a woman thing.personally I dont know many men who get all excited over gathering coupons, let alone many that will even use them, but however in my personal oppinion men do enjoy still having some money left after the girlfriend or wife is done shopping and using coupons she gathered.lol But then again I do know some men who have their own coupon book and never leave home without it.I guess its a preferance thing or something. I know me personally I try to find as many coupons as I can.(and I share what I cant use to anyone who can use them.)
Usually I PM to ask if anyone minds me putting links on their page, but today I was trying to share the link with as many as I could because some of the coupons expire soon and I would like them to get to someone who can use them before they expire. Unfortunatlly we had a power outage in town today and after posting to you i lost internet. But I got it back now.Thank you for allowing me to share on your page.
Thank you, he is in a better place, now. God really does work in misterious ways.I am glad you have a fun spirit.My grandfather said his illnease was a blessing in disguise.
Well I hope you were able to make it to church today.
Take care friend,many blessings and if we dont speak again tonight, i hope you have a goodnight & awake to a blessed day!

 in response to PittsburghMomma...   I don't deal with coupons, but my wife does, and I am sure she will be happy to read everything you have to offer about them.
I also, have NO problem with you sharing anything on my page that can benefit someone. That's what this site is all about and if you posting something here helps someone then I am all for it.
Sorry to hear you lost your grandfather to cancer. It's a terrible disease, but you are right there is progress being made every day, and I am blessed because of it.
Take care my friend & have a blessed afternoon.

 in response to susie's son...   

I hope nothing gets in your way of going to church tonight.

I wanted to share a link with you about coupons, maybe it might interest you, or maybe someone will come to your page and find it usefull.I hope you don't mind me posting it here on your page.

 CLICK HERE 

I was reading your page, and I hope God is keeping you well so you can continue to do his good work. Over a year ago my grandfather lost the battle to cancer, but there are already so much new studies that can help...so I hope you can get the help you need, and God watches over you.

Many Blessings!

 in response to mamashe/sheshe...   Good Morning,
Today is a free day for me. No test, no doctors, and no treatments! I plan on doing nothing, but relaxing. We are going to try and go to church tonight, and I look forward to that because I have missed it so much.
I do agree that plants thrive on attention. We covered all of ours before the ice storm hit, but it does appear that some froze anyway. We are hoping they come back once the sun heals their wounds and the rain gives them strength. We also add some prayer, since the Lord wants us to pray about everything.
I plan on preaching again very soon, so I have been busy working on sermons. I enjoy spending time with God, and working on things that give Him glory make me happy. I have a difficult time shutting off my mind because I have so much to be thankful for. I can be asleep at night and wake with a thought and have to get up and write because I feel it's the Lord giving me an idea for a message. My wife tries to get me to put my thoughts on a recorder but that's not the same has writing them down when the Lord is leading. I compare it to opening a present. You know the excitement when you receive a gift and begin to unwrap it, and then the joy you feel once you see what you have received. Preparing a sermon is like that for me. I get very excited when the Lord places a thought in my head, gives me the words to share in my heart, and once I can put them in writing I feel blessed. I feel it is what I was created to do it, and nothing can take the place of it. I believe that God gives us all special gifts to add to His Kingdom, and true happiness comes when we are lead by the Lord.
I hope all is well with you, and I hope you are able to get out and tend to your garden very soon. I also hope you are taking care of yourself and not trying to overdo it.
Have a wonderful day my friend.
God bless love C & T

Good Wednesday Morning Mr Sunshine:--And How's my favorite young man doing this AM? I personally am longing for the day when I can get up and head outside and start putting potting soil in all of my pots and once their all potted I play music (either hard rock or lots of toe tappin country music) Plants seem to respond to hard rock and I think its because of the harshness of the sound but I can't bare it so I only play it for a short while. I also read to my plants and a lot of poetry as well. I know it sounds like a crazy old lady thing to do but I have tested it out using 3 different plantings and a control planting and the planting that had hard rock playing at least 6 hours a day acutually were doubled in size. But my favorite the country music group came in second and were just fine for me. There is nothing like getting my hands in the diet and feeling its moisture and smelling it's earthiness and how plants grow is indeed a miracle and I swear that plants that are loved and nurtured will give back all that it is given ;ous more. Well enough of my lecture for the day. I look forward to hearing about what is instore for you today and to hear how your doing. Lots of love my dear one. God bless and keep you safe and well.mamashe

 in response to mamashe/sheshe...   Good afternoon,
Thank you for the compliments, but I am nothing special, and don't possess any hidden strength. Any good that comes from me is because of God.
The reason I am able to be positive after my recovery is the hope that came with it. The pain is there, but I can tolerate it because I am believing the best is yet to come. Cancer kept me down too long, but it did make me try harder and I became determined to win the fight against it. The race is not over until I reach the finish line, and I am not there yet.
Ekikaseven is needing prayer, and needs a healing. She is a wonderful lady and I think we all need to pray and support her. She is always there for all of us, so it's our turn to be there for her.
I do try and post about the Lord. The good times are always a blessing, and the bad times reminds us of how much we need Him, and helps us appreciate the blessings. Mountains or valleys, He is always there!
I hope you are going ok.
God Bless
Chris

Good Morning SunShine, and I see your up and busy sending words of hope and faith to so many that really need it. I can understand that by putting your thoughts on others and giving them encouragement to get through their hardships that it would take your mind off the horror that is your cancer. You are such a wonderful role model for all of us Chris. It's not often any of us get to witness soemone like you tht has endured such radical surgery and within days of that surgery you are using your computer and phone to help all of usand you never complain my love, I don't knwo how you do it but you NEVER complain which in itself is so encouraging to so many that do suffer from chronic pain. I'm just in awe of you dear one. I have read a few posts you made to Ekikaseven pertaining to her not being well. do you know if she is sick or not. I got my bible she sent me yesterday and am still weeping of her generosity and I would feel so bad if I didn't know she was ill. Also I have noticed your posts are becoming more and more focused on Gods word and how He helps us through everything in our lives and not just the things in life that are going well but the bad time too. Thankyou so much from my heart for sticking it out here with us, we are so blessed to have you..love and peace mamashe/sheshe

 in response to mamashe/sheshe...   Hi,
I am doing better. The pain has eased, but it is still hard to rest at night. I cannot lay down very long at a time, but I think it gets better each night.
Married life is wonderful. Tori will be going back to work next week, at least part time and this will allow her to be with me for my chemo, dialysis and physical therapy. I tend to do better when she is with me.
I did lose weight in the hospital, and then gained a little back, but it is hard to keep it on now with the cheno side effects.
I do not know my prognosis yet, and probably won't until after I finish the treatments and have additional test done. I am believing in good results and in spite of the chemo and pain I do feel like I am better.
Thanks for the compliment on the post I made. I think it's a lesson for all of us. It's time we all got back to doing what we came here to do, and that is encouraging one another. Life is to short to allow disagreements to come between any of us, and everyone has so much to offer.
I am sorry to hear you have not been sleeping well, and I pray that you will be able to rest tonight. It was good to hear from you, and I hope you have fully recovered from your fall.
Take care & God Bless

Good Afternoon Mr SunShine, I am sorry for not writing to you sooner but as usual i let to many little things build up and then tried to get them all done in a short amount of time.But I'm here now...So how are you feeling now Chris? Has your pain level gone down at least to tolerable. I have been praying for you dear one and I have a super bad case of insomnia and am usually awake at 3:00 or so in the morning and I see your avatar there but didn't write as I thought you would be sleeping. It so strange but I have found a great many of us who can't sleep all night , maybe we should all gather for a 3:00 oclock discussion on why we aren't slepping. How are you getting around now ...a little better I hope and have the docs told you anything about your prognosis? And how is your new wife? Is she getting accustomed to being maried, it takes awhile to get used to living with someone new and learn their habits both bad and good. lol By the way I read that beautiful piece you wtoe on taking off the mask. Very well written and it does make one think not only about the other guy but ourselves as well. I think we all could use a daily reminder about what this page means to all of us and you would write one so well that I think you should take on that job. lol I know you have your hands full enough now trying to heal your body alnd all the pain you have had to endure that we can't possibly know how your getting through it all. Have you gained anymore weight Chris? I'm sorry I keep asking so many questions but I haven t heard from you in a long time and I'm just trying to get caught up.Again I want to thank you for writing that lovely piece about the masks we wear, it really touched my heart and I hope that everyoe here will readit as well. I love you dear son and please give Tori a hug from me as wel. Peace and love to you both....mamashe/sheshe

 in response to friendshelpingfriends...   Good Morning my friend,
I am getting better each day. I still have a hard time sleeping, but the pain is easing up a little.
I am still coping with the chemotherapy, and will start a more aggressive dose this week. The hardest thing about it is the nausea.I knew that I would have problems with eating, but it also causes problems with smells, and even riding in the car. I keep trying to encourage myself with prayer and the reality that this is only a temporary thing and is needed in order for me to feel better. Cancer has been winning the battle for a long time, but now I feel like I have taken some control and I am starting to have the upper hand.
I hope all is well with you and your family. We appreciate your prayers, and the Lord is responding to all the prayers in my behalf.
Have a blessed day. Thanks for checking on me, you are a very sweet lady and I am blessed through you.
See you in my prayers
love Chris

Hi Chris.....

Well it is the start of another new week.  Yesterday was a good day..... Green Bay won the Super Bowl.  My husband smoked some pork ribs so we munched on those while watching the game.

I hope you are doing better.... You and Tori are in my thoughts and prayers... Have a good week......

Love,

Cheryl
