Our church is having a week long camp meeting with awesome speakers every night.
I am needing whatever the Lord is putting on these peoples' hearts for us to hear. I am convinced of that.
The enemy has been beating me down lately with so much opposition to what I feel I am supposed to do in my life regarding work and family.
Right now I am battling with finances for my trip to spend some time with my daughter, Julie and her family. It has been on my heart for so long to spend some special time with her. With her birthday at the end of the month and my boss wanting me to take my vacation in that certain time frame, I thought it would be great to take her out to dinner for her birthday. So I got tickets at a reasonable roundtrip price, set it up with her and thought, ok, here we go. Great!!!!!
Well, if things keep going the way they are right now, I will be lucky to be able to have $5 to take her to mickey d's
After I got home Monday nght from work, I checked my on-line bank site to
see if my tithe check had been cleared yet so I could start planning what
I needed to pay and what I could save for my trip.
I saw where someone had withdrawn $5, 3 times that day. I thought, I don't know who that is so let me get an email out to the bank so they would see it first thing in the morning and put a stop to any more withdrawls.
( I got home after the bank had closed)
When I got home that next day and checked to see if I had a reply from the bank,
and checked my account, it had been wiped clean except for $17.
ALL of my money was gone. This happened before the bank opened and before the bank got my request. In researching the event, they did these first 3 small withdrawls to see if they could get away with it and then the next am around 4 in the morning they did multiple small withdrawls of $50 to $70 in a matter of seconds, not minutes, until it was gone.
Along with further research, the perps responsible for this scam, apparently have been doing this to people who have bought airline tickets on-line for the past 3 years and no one can get to them. They have a history of starting out with 3 small withdrawls and if no flags go out to the banking institution, your money is gone with in 24 hrs of the first 3 $5 taken.
I, of course, have taken the appropriate steps to insure they cannot get to my money
again and have taken the steps to try and get my money back. I do get paid again before I go BUT I won't see that other money stolen for a few weeks and
in the mean time I have rent to pay, other bills that have to be paid and that will really hurt the plans I made for a beautiful birthday day and dinner for Julie. I have never spent a holiday or a birthday with her in her adult life and she is turning 38 years old on the 29th of June.
I am so tore up right now because I wanted to show her how great God is while I spent time with her.
I do not want to give glory to the enemy for tearing up my plans and turning my world upside down.
I need prayer for strength, peace, protection from any more attacks from the enemy.
I am closing with this advice.
Check your bank balances on a regular basis.If at any time someone takes 3 small amounts by the name of microsoft adcenter bill.ms.net wa , hurry hurry hurry
cancel your credit card.

*sigh*
I'll hope the bank is insured and is expedient in reimbursing the funds which were taken from you.
Something similar happened to me a couple years ago. It was covered by insurance and corrected in a matter of days. I'll hope likewise happens for you.
*sigh* It's just so wrong....
I trusted the Lord to take care of me and He did.
I am so blessed.
