"Shelter From The Storm" D.Ataville c.2007This pretty much sums up how I'm feeling lately and explains why I haven't been blogging much. We seem to have hit an all time low here financially, and though I do have a job now, my hub is unable to find work, and we're on a rapid decline. I am now looking into food stamps and assistance for my family as this is how bad things have gotten. It's a very scary place to be when you have three children. Though I am trying to keep my faith, and believe that God's promises will hold true and give us the financial means we need to see us through the winter.
So as you can surmise, I have been feeling very scared and out of sorts.
But thankfully, we are all healthy and will always have each other, and are not suffering the pains of those going through the devastation of the California fires. My thoughts and prayers go out to them. And I hope they too will find Shelter From The Storm.
Hope all my blogging buddies are doing well! Hopefully my next post will be a bit more uplifting. Until then, Have a Spooky and Spectacular Halloween!

wondered what was up....
the money thing sucks. i dont think god has anything to do with it personally...it's life and it aint easy. take care and hope your mate finds work. glad you can still make some art, that is a good thing to do.
Phew! BlueJude! I hate to hear this! I will be saying some prayers for your husband to find work sweetie! I know how it is to struggle, like self taught artist said, its life and it aint easy! Keep creating lil darling! That purple in there makes me want to SHOUT, Alleluia! LOVE and prayers,xoCinda
I don't know which words to use to tell you how much I care that you and your family are going through a rough patch. I know from reading your blog that you have inner strength and you will succeed!! Hugs,

I hear you sister! A year ago we were in the same place and we came through. Your love is amazing and I know it'll work out somehow. I am sending you love energy!
Great work.
I love your shelter. I needed it last week with the tornado warnings. Sorry to hear things aren't going so well. Take comfort in your art...it will pull you through. I have been where you are, I thought life was great and my husband walked out on me and our 3 year old daughter, with no reason. I gave up my career to move away and marry him. We made it thru and are way better off now.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
