I have come to the realization that friends and money just don't mix. Never should, never will(at least inmy life..)
This is the second time I hae relied on a close friend(or what I thought to be a close friend) to help me out finacially...by allowing me to do a yard sale at her house to earn money. All she had to do was let me put my stuff down, and she was doing a yard sale, too! I was going to give her and her husband some money,because I know, we all need some, and plus, how nice of her to do this,right?
Yeah...that was until she found out that she needed a permit in order to do it...and you get a fine($50) if they catch you without one. Even though she was going to make more than $50 at the yard sale, even though I was going to give her and her husband close to that amount...she canceled it at the last minute.
Did I mention my electric, which runs everything from the fridge to my stove, is getting ready to get cut off on Monday, and that our cupboards are almost bare, and that she knows all this, and, despite all that, is not allowing the yard sale,anyways? Some friend!
This is the third time I expected someone that I considered a close friend to help me out, only to get fucked in the end.
Sorry to use such language, but that's the only way I can say it with enough meaning for you to get it.
Last night, I nearly bawled my eyes out. But then, I had an idea...drop the kids off at my parents, and join the bunny ranch...and the more I thought about that thought, the more I realized, this is from the devil. God would never put something like that in my head, and if this friendship was blessed by God, this wouldn't be happening. Apparently, just another sign that I can only rely onGod, and the moment I try to trust someone to help,even in a small way, financially, it only leads to destruction. Of a friendship, of potential,whatever the case is...destruction.
So, another lesson I didn't need to learn. Another lesson I thought I already learned, but apparently I did not. Another hard dose of reality. Ugh.
So, I decided to let the yard sale happen at my house tommorrow. That's all I can do. Just pray that this time, it will be blessed by GOd, and that I will get enough money to do all that needs to be done. Please God, don't let me down today. Please God, You're all I have left. Please God, I'm relying only on you this time...please don't allow me to fail.
I'm relying only on God. Even when I'm not sure if He sees the pain I'm in, I'm going to do my best and trust in Him alone.
Let's pray that this yard sale will be blessed by God, and that I can get all this stuff sold tommorrow...so that I can get the money needed to bless some ministries, and pay the bills.
Because God doesn't want to see me fail...right?
