I am REALLY trying.
I know Abraham's message. It is interwoven into my understanding and worldview.
I have been asking my IB for guidance.
I have been focusing on the better feeling thought.
I have been setting down the stick on the fear side and picking up the hopeful and imagining the wonderful side.
And still - the dollar abundance is not here.
And I feel like I'm failing at the Abraham message. When evidence of our desires shows up - that feels so good. It so re-affirms this life and all that Abe has said that makes complete sense and inspires me.
Current physical reality - our refrigerator died and we can't afford to have it looked at until payday in a few days. We have $5 until Friday.
I've already done a direct-deposit advance to get the gas turned back on.
Did the budget - the next paycheck and the next and the next are already spent.
And collection calls and letters are coming. As well they should. We used money from cards and medical needs and I WANT to pay them.
A creditor said that I was a good client and they could see that I've been good except for this past year. I almost cried in the phone. I realized my credit history/score is a reflection of me. And I'm destroying it.
Money is so .....important. Too important. So important when you don't have any.
I don't want to be poor.
I don't want to file bankruptcy.
I want to be wonderful with money.
I want to pay all creditors every dollar owed.
I want to pay on time!
I want to be proud of our home and our finances.
I want to live in ease and prosperity. Not fear.
I want to be home with my young son and not go back to full-time work and hand him over to someone else (if I went back to working full-time our problems would be solved and we'd be financially ...downstream).
I see bankruptcy looming. I don't see my vibrational escrow dreams and wishes coming.
Simply, I don't know what else to do. I feel that I've been foolishly wasting time thinking the better thought and trying to stay in my "happy-place" where no $$$$-problems loom. I've been working on the vibration I carry around money.
And it's almost laughable what this week has brought us.
With all the real issues in the world, I feel petty for putting this out there.
I would SO appreciate my Inner Being speaking to me through anyone who chooses to reply.
I do NOT want to worry and get immobilized with fear.
I want - I want .... I want to feel better. I want to never worry about money again. I want none of us to ever have to worry about it again. I want my partner to feel ease about this too (he brings in most of the $$$).
What if my IB decided this was the journey that I was born to take??!
Forty-plus years on this planet - how about done with money issues - I want to move beyond!!
Love and appreciation to you...

Oh, Joyful Vibe, I'm sorry ! to you.
I'm a pretty new Abe-r, but I do have a few thoughts about your situation.
I'm sure you are trying really hard and it sounds like you've made a lot of progress. You're bringing up specific worries attached to your lack of money, which sounds a lot like resistance. As much as you can, think about enjoying your new refrigerator and all the other things that you would do if you had money. Think about fun things, not just paying off your debts. Because that's still giving too much energy to your debts.
I don't know how new you are to all of this, but you could also be experiencing contrast. I think that happens pretty often when you begin working with a new manifestation--you get the opposite of what you want and somehow you have to look at it and say "I don't want that" and do things to make yourself better so you can line up more easily with what you do want.
Other ideas: if the refrigerator is a big goal, then work on that. You don't have to tie it into money. Ask for a refrigerator. You getting a refrigerator wouldn't be any weirder than you suddenly coming into money, would it?
This could also be a good time to talk to a credit counselor or something like that to hold off the creditors. I'm guessing if you get just a couple obstacles out of the way you'll feel better and have momentum to work on the rest.
Best of luck to you!

Hi JV  ,
I know exactly how you fell.
And I am sure you can manage it... Just, please, read again what you wrote (the part I cited)... I can feel your resistance on money issue and I very much recognized my previous "state of mind" in your words.
It seems that you focused at money as a NEED (only). But money is bringing joy - and why don’t consider it that way? Allow yourself to imagine yourself in absolute prosperity - YOU DESERVE IT.
You sound scared of present situation you are in (and I understand why). In order to move forward you should get relaxed and set your mind in state where you can imagine and feel pure joy (at least for few minutes).
Maybe you didn’t open yourself enough to receive The Abundance you deserve?
Try to do it intentionally.
One more suggestion - why don’t try the "It would be nice...." process... ?
Let yourself imagine doing job which gives you more money and more time..., imagine that you are spending as much time as you want with your son and imagine all this in perfect, financially secure environment. 
It helps... believe me it is a very good start...
Please, be open for changes - maybe The Universe already prepared big change which can improve your life but maybe you just resist it.
Just focus on what is really good now in your life and try to enchance it slowly. The Universe will do the rest. 
Love 
Alex

Hi Joyful Creator~
I know exactly where you are... Been there, done that.
What I can say to you is that you are just taking score too soon.
The Universe wants to pour so much prosperity upon you that it would make the Nigara Falls look like a ride at Disney Land. Abundance is EVERYWHERE! And it IS here w/ you NOW. Make a decision to look for it rather than the lack of it... Whenever you receive even the tiniest blessing, make a big deal of it w/ your appreciation. I like to deliberately say to myself (even sometimes yelling it out loud), "THANK YOU, UNIVERSE! I appreciate this blessing that you've given me! Send me MORE!" Even a just little appreciation goes a L-O-N-G way. Show the Universe that you just EAT UP the deliciousness of even the morsels of Abundance that It sends your way & then the UM will say, "HEY! This gal really likes this stuff!
OK Boys! FILL 'er UP!"::cereal
Another thing that helped me was to imagine & feel the freedom of having my debts paid off. I would imagine myself handing my creditors an envelope full of cash, while thanking them w/ a gleaming smile on my face. Ahhhhh, sweet freedom! (BTW, I've actually recently manifested that w/ several of our creditors.)
It does get easier, Sweetie. Really it does. And I'm living proof that a person can indeed attract the financial Abundance they desire. You can do it too. I believe in you. And I know that the reason why you feel so bad is b/c your IB is swimming in your deep, spring-fed pool of eternal, infinite Abundance. Flowery pink swim cap, flippers & all.
Dive in! 
Sending you BIG HUGS covered in golden-white light~
 Natty

About your refridgerator...
Pre Abe days, ours was dying. I had no job, dh was contracting and work was slow. I knew we had no money, no credit to borrow (both of our divorces had screwed our credit)...yada yada yada. I tried to figure it out, about went nuts, and gave up.
Bare with me for a bit here.
A single lady friend of ours had moved 2 times over 6 months and we'd helped her because we have a low-boy trailer. Well, she was moving again--into a house she was buying this time. We helped her move again.
She had a new double door fridge. The new home had a really nice fridge, barely used. She gave us the one in the new house because we'd moved her so much.
Not once in all my trying to figure it out had I come up with, "Well Darlene will move again...we'll help her again...she'll give us a fridge." So, you never know how the fairies will work things out. Just know they will.
Hope this helps, at least making you smile.

There's the rub. What you SEE (believe) coming is what will come.
When you shift what you "see", you will shift your manifestations.
Your post is full of a lot of important statements, and you are achieving excellent clarity for yourself, so you should pat yourself on the back for that! Start with giving yourself credit for knowing where you ARE because there is no place else you get to start, other than where you are. And where you are is perfect FOR NOW.
Writing down where you are now and how you feel now was a great first step. Now it's down. It's been expressed. You know where you are and what you are feeling. You know that on the Emotional Guidance Scale you are located at somewhere around FEAR. No, fear doesn't feel good, but hey, it's your GUIDANCE telling you that your THOUGHTS about the issue of money are not in alignment with what your real self (Source) knows to be true. That's all! It just means your thoughts are off - isn't that good to know!?
So - you wrote out what you don't want - that's good - knowing what you don't want is the contrast that launches the desire for what you do want. But then you dropped the momentum when starting to write about what you DO want. - even your "wants" contain negatives! When you want "not fear", the Universe hears "fear". When you want "not getting a job", the Universe hears "get a job".
So take a deep breath, and get a clean sheet of paper or new WORD document and start to write out what you DO WANT. Purely and simply, what you DO want, and as you write each statement, check in with your emotions. How would it FEEL to have that! Go there in your imagination and check it out. If it feels good, then it's a DO WANT - so write it down.
Make that entire document a FEEL GOOD page. Make sure that when you read it, your stomach relaxes, your face wants to smile, and you can see yourself IN the "wants". NOW you are using your "wants" as vibrational tune-up material, and as you shift your vibration, your manifestations will shift as well.
You've written your don't wants already and there is no reason ever to tell that story again. The Universe got the message. Now give YOURSELF the message of what you really want to move into. Don't focus on it unless it feels good.
Deliberate creation is not about staying in the "happy place". Without contrast there is no desire and without desire there is no expansion. So pretending not to "care" is not what Abraham advises. Instead, they say, take an honest assessment of where you are (you've done that) and then use it as the JUMPING OFF PLACE to where you want to go next.
Alex and Natty made some excellent points. The thing is, I know you've "studied" the Abraham teachings for some time now, and you probably think you understand them and have applied them, and you might be saying "I know I know I'm doing all that appreciating and stuff but nothing is working!!" If that's the case, then I think you are doing what a lot of people do when they start to try to apply the principles of deliberate creation. They think they need to "be happy" all the time and never really CLEAN UP the vibration around an issue. Your post is very telling as to where your vibration about finances is. USE that clarity!! You can do it. Allow yourself to really look at where you are, feel what you feel, and then do the processes to slowly shift your vibration. Again, it's not a matter of the "happy place". Start where you are by being OKAY where you are. Lighten up on yourself - but not in the sense that you ignore your vibration.
And now I'm going to sound a little like an info-mercial and you are the "person who needs this product". But come on JV - the timing is just too good!! Abraham-Hicks' new book is called Money and the Law of Attraction. It's literally being released as we speak!! Buy the book!! 
And on your way to the book store find 10 reasons why you are a powerful creator and that you've created prosperity already in your life.

Hi
I just want to start off by saying that your going to be fine and that it's all working out, and if you think about it the replies that you have recieved from all these fellow aber's is a part of your "ALLOWING" is it not? Beit it may not be cash but it's definitely a part of your crack of least resistance.
You stand in a place with the knowing that you should be able to easily manifest money into your life by virtue of all that you have learned and come to know to be true but your current situation seems to mock your knowing and has put you in a frustrated/depressed/fading hope type of place.
I suggest a few things.
1. Stop making those unwanted things seem BIGGER than they really are. Im not trying to downsize your situation im just wanting you to know that regardless of what is, your gonna be ok. Anyways, bankruptcy really really sucks but it has given many struggling people some relief. Leaving your son with a nanny so you could go to work will be painful but you might find that it inspires a stronger appreciation for the time that you do have to spend with him. Your credit score is something that can be improved, dipping a little on your score does not reflect you because "YOU" want to pay off your bills and "YOU" would if you could. Your not gonna be poor, you know way too much to build up the kind of resistance that it would take to lead you to poverty.
2.LISTEN to your emotions, TRUST your knowing. If you ignored any thought that was not aligned with what you know to be true you would have more money than you can handle. The reason it feels good to think about having lots of money is because this is something you want and it is something that you are now aligned with, so basically the good feeling is a signal from your source that it's coming to you. So when your imagining being able to buy a new fridge, furniture, bills etc. you FEEL good because -A- its something you want and -B- its on its way. On the other hand when your focused on your current situation and feel bad it's simply because -A- it's something you dont want and -B- your perpetuating it. Sounds so simple doesn't it, well it is. Any thought that says manifesting money is hard etc is not true and you know this.
3.Never feel foolish for imagining,pretending, or trying to find that happy place. When your imagining and pretending that your LOADED with cash you are activating vibration and their is absoulutely nothing PRETEND about vibration therefore their is no logical reason to feel foolish, is their?
4.APPRECIATION-I can guarantee you that their is no faster way to bring cold hard cash into your life than finding the feeling of appreciation for it. I have a post that explains this truth in much greater detail plus examples of how it has worked in my own life. The post is called "Fast Money" and you can find it if you type it in the search box.
5.It's not the end of the world! Keep hope alive, keep the optimisim going, relax, drink some wine or something and exercise lol, why exercise because it feels good. It'll take your mind off of things. It'll force you to breathe in deeper breathes which will make you feel even better. Because being strong will make you feel even better. Because their are so many ways to exercise that are free. Because it'll put you in a state of allowing. Because its fun. Because your brain loves endorphins.
Good luck friend, your gonna be ok.

Hi joyful….
If you hadn’t started this thread I would….
Sounded just like how I feel with money….
You kind helped me because I realized I am not the only one in the planet having these kinds of thoughts and worries.
So why not benefit this forum and find our alignment on this topic of money.
Let’s let our abundance flow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oo-Oo! I just read this quote from my email...
"In My Appreciation I Allow Myself to Receive Wonderful Things.
The best way to accomplish an improved environment is to focus upon the best things about where you currently are until you flood your own vibrational patterns of thought with appreciation, and in that changed vibration, you can then allow the new-and-improved conditions and circumstances to come into your experience.
Look for good things about where you are, and in your state of appreciation, you lift all self-imposed limitations (and all limitations are self-imposed) and you free yourself for the receiving of wonderful things."
That's a quote from Abe's new book!
I LOVE synchronicities!

Everyone has given you wonderful advice. I would like to point out that what you are living right now is the manifestation of your past mind set. As your thoughts change so does the evidence of your thoughts.
Some people have instant manifestations and some of us are more slow at showing the physical evidence of our new thoughts. Just keep thinking your good thoughts and your life will turn around.
Did I express this well?!!!!

Hi Everyone, just to clarify,
I deleted someone's suggestion that the book be read in bookstores without buying. Somehow that remark got erroneously attributed to me, and I assure you I am suggesting that you BUY, not borrow the book from a store. When you use the quote facility when replying BE SURE to write your own remarks OUTSIDE the quote box. Otherwise it looks like the person you are quoting said everything in the post.
Thanks all,
Jody
