I too have felt like our family has been through enough and just want God to cut us a break. From birth defects to multiple surgeries on our daughter to financial despair due to medical bills to illness in my spouse, I have often wanted to shout to God, I can't handle this anymore. <BR/><BR/>As for the bank, I can totally relate. We to live week to week and once the bank decided to put through our mortgage, but not the deposit we had made. 800, yes 800 dollars worth of overdrawn charges in 24 hours. We did not have that money to loose. We fought and got some of the money back, but not all of it, needless to say, we changed banks after that. <BR/><BR/>There are still days that I wonder how I will handle all that life hands me. I still question God giving me so much, but I try to remember a quote from Mother Theresa, " I know that God won't give me more than I can handle, sometimes I just wish he didn't trust me so much."<BR/><BR/>Please know that many of us have felt the way that you are feeling and know that we pray for peace to fill your heart. <BR/><BR/>Cindymom2LEAAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08158138017904752441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-42023626348561173812008-11-12T16:53:00.000-05:002008-11-12T16:53:00.000-05:00I hear you!

I found it through a friend's. Your family and all of your beautiful sons are constantly in my prayers.<BR/><BR/>Your post tonight *really* resonated with me as I also just overdrew my account by accidentally paying a bill out of the wrong checking account. My mind was not where it should be! I was able to have them remove most of the charges-- I hope you have luck with that, too! <BR/><BR/>And I hope that tomorrow is better.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Liz in MichiganAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-86947616893852448032008-11-11T17:13:00.000-05:002008-11-11T17:13:00.000-05:00Oh, no!

You and your family have had their fair share of heartache for sure. I always wonder why God seems to target a few families to go through such hard times. You look at the things that you have endured and wonder how He can let these things keep happening. All we can guess is that He has a reason. Don't you just wish you know what that was? I do sometimes!

On days like these (which I have seen SO many of) it's hard to remember, but you know what you know. Fix your eyes on Jesus. It's all you can do when the pressure mounts like this and there are waves all around. Tomorrow's a new day and you will be provided for. He's working in ways you cannot see!<BR/><BR/>And since I'm sure your tired of my cliches by now, I'll just go ahead and say that I agree with you! This SUCKS. :)<BR/><BR/>But the truth remains.

I online bill pay and a few months back, I paid our mortgage payment with Bank of America to our credit card (also with Bank of America). This in turn made our mortgage payment late and we didn’t have the money to come up with a whole new payment…I was literally on the floor crying. How could I have been so stupid? Luckily the BOA people were very nice and fixed the issue. However last month, I did what you did and a $7.00 check went through before our two paychecks (over $2000) and it cost me two overdraft fees! I spent $70 for $9.00 worth of stuff…the people at our bank didn’t even care, so we are leaving them. I also hate how they cash the largest amounts first, so they can maximize your overdraft fees…how come they get the bailout!!!
