I hate doing this. I'm not trying to draw attention or sympathy but I wish to swallow my pride just enough to ask for prayer on my behalf.
Today at 10:15, my brother called to inform me that our Great-Uncle Ray passed away in uncertain circumstances last night. Naturally this was enough to bring me to my knees. Uncle Ray was a strong figure in my life and while I haven't seen him since the funeral of my uncle Claude nearly three years ago, I loved him dearly. I am devastated by the loss.
Then about 45 minutes later I received written notice that I was being sued by the anesthesiologist that helped with my emergency hand surgery last October. I was unable to afford paying the bill and tried to set up payment plans that would suit my budget as I am a student and unemployed, but we couldn't agree on a reasonable figure. Now the firm pushing the suit is telling me that in order to keep this out of the courts I would have to pay 118.60 per month starting with this month. I informed the firm that I would pay what I could but that amount was unreasonable. I was told that while they would accept any payment I made, I couldn't keep this out of the courts unless I payed the desired amount.
For some reason, God saw fit to put this trial on my path when I'm a little over a week from moving to start at the new university to what I had hoped would be a happier chapter of my life. Unfortunately all I see now is black. It may sound cheesy considering the news of Robin Williams, but suicide has begun to creep into my thoughts. I would appreciate any prayers that I might be worthy to.
