Help Me Care For My Family

jeffrey harper · Jun 28, 2011

My name is Jeff I am from Texas. I am now with my wife and 3 children in Colombia,South America but stuck here.My story is very long and I donÂ´t even really know how to begin.I know Jesus is my Savior and God has blessed me in so many ways and so many times over my life most of all when He brought my wife and then my children into my life.

I have so many problems now in my life and I need real help.We need help.If these things were only about me I would not even consider asking for help.I want so much to be a good husband and father however and I am not doing good at these things now.

All of these things really require explaining but I want to make a list here of things I need to fix and if you have time PLEASE HELP me to get things fixed.

1.) Feeding the family. GOD IS GREAT! We have not missed any meals yet.As you know He feeds the birds everyday. however I am in real deep debt with the corner connivance store and canÂ´t pay - IÂ´ve been teaching English down here and my work has really taken a dive.

2.)Education of kids. I did have that under control but again money is the problem pubic schools here are bad

3.)Home.. Renting a small two bedroom,,,same problem $ I want a descent home for my family but I donÂ´t know if I can pay the rent here on the 1st

4.)Getting back HOME.... This is the major problem. I am sure I could do so much better for them if I only was able to get back to the States but with them. I brought my wife here in 2002 to get her out of immigration jail and to not let her get deported. I stayed for about 3 months until we got pregnant then I went back for 8 months or so to make money.I came back for the birth of my first child(she had a child from a previous marriage)and I stayed 2 years,raised my boys and taught English.I went back to Texas in 2004 and started a new Job driving trucks cross country. I did this for 5 years and it was ok and I made good money sometimes but I was not with my family and I was not happy being a part time husband and father.Then I messed that all up and got a DWI after that I could not work hardly at all with no drivers license.So many more things factor into all of this like my mother getting Alzheimer and my not wanting her in a nursing home.But all the while my family was apart so I came back here around 18 months ago.

Thanks,

Jeff

You must know that no matter where you are you are never out of touch with our Lord and Our Father. You are God's special gift to your wife and children, and he will give you the grace and strength for all that you are needing. I will keep your needs in my prayer this day and for the next 90 days. Let me know that you are well.

IN CHRIST'S PEACE

Come unto me, ye who are weary and overburdened, and I

will give you rest.

- Matthew 11:28

God please come into Jeff's life and his family as well. Guide him so that he is able to leave SA with his family. Give him the opportunity to correct his mistakes and do good for his family. We ask you in Jesus' name AMEN.
