New Home

New Home [2007-10-09]
Congratulations on your new adventure!! Hope it goes well for you. I will definitely say some prayers for you.Moved into a newly-built home myself a few months ago and since then have been feeling the cold shoulder of people who have beenhere all their lives. It is a sparsely populated area and the families here have apparently been in the area since the beginning of time and do not appreciate newcomers. Try to concentrate on whatever good you can find and good luck to you and your family!!!!!!

Need MT Job from home [2007-09-14]
Please pray for me. I recently had to terminate my 10 year in-house MT position in diagnostic clinic of local hospital due to need for guidance/supervision of teenage son with Down Syndrome. I have had several employees contact me and say they were interested and then I never hear back from them. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. I really prayed about terminating in-house. I felt it was time I start putting my handicapped son/my family first. I have put my work first for years. Any suggestions, please post a message for me. Becky (lonely at home and getting poor without work, but God promises he will provide all my needs, and he has in the past).

Lauren is doing well. She went home [2007-08-04]
in another couple of days, absorbing nutrition fine. She had a little jaundice, but that's not unusual. I have yet to see her beyond pictures, but DH saw her. The pictures of her big brothers holding her are funny - they seem in awe that they have a baby sister of their own. :o>

Please pray for me - also on Gab board sm [2008-10-24]
I will try to make this brief. I have marital problems, husband is gone all the time. I came to work at home again because I have no help with our children. I need to be here if they are sick and be here when they get home from school. But I have become once again socially isolated (I did this type of work for years and had a job outside of the home and enjoyed it, except for the fact that my children did not get enough attention, so I quit). I do have friends but I don I used to walk several miles a day but never do that anymore, have gained weight, eat junk food, stay on the computer too long. I am constantly busy. I still do volunteer work with my children - Scouts, church, etc., but I am so overwhelmed. My husband is almost never here. It almost feels more like he comes to visit us sometimes than actually lives here, but I need his help financially and my son is very afraid for me to get a divorce (long story, but he is afraid he would have to live part-time with his dad, and they are not close). I have debt that my husband doesn But he won When I tell him I need more money he tells me things like, turn off the cable TV or don The thing is he spends lots and lots of money on entertaining himself. He makes 3 x as much as I do (or maybe 4 by now). I have not been allowed to open his mail for years and we pretty much never talk. I have started to allow things to pile up, mail around my desk, weight around my middle, clutter here and there. I just feel like a big slug. I am tired much of the time. In reading this I sound depressed but I am already taking an antidepressant which I started a few years ago because of my marriage.I love my children so dearly but I am afraid of leaving and disrupting their lives. If I left I would at least get my part of the equity in ourhome, etc., and maybe have a chance at having a life again. Anyway, I know this is long and rambling and jumbled, but I just woke up, from another night of poor sleep. Please suggest what you would do. Thanks

alcoholism [2008-07-23]
Hello: I am married to a recovering alcoholic/drug addict, sober for 24 years. Your husband needs to,unfortunately hit rock bottom before he gets the help he needs. I have been in your shoes, but my husband was not verbally or physically abusive. After three tries in a drug/alcohol rehab program, he finally got it, because I told him, it is the alcohol or it is me and our son. He chose us, got the help. I knew there was good person under the booze/drugs and I stayed with him, even though my family and his told me to leave him. But, if you enable him, he will continue to drink. I don Is there any way you can take children away from him and his abuse. I did enable my husband before I knew what to do. It is a long struggle and a hard one and only you can decide when enough is enough and where to seek help. I would never allow abuse in my home, but everyone is different as to what they call abuse and what they can tolerate. Good luck. Al-Anon did not help me, but AA did help me, when I went with my husband. My prayers are with you and your life. Remember, there is nothing that you have done or have said to make this person verbally or physically attack you, and you did not make him drink. Alcoholism is a disease as is drug addiction and only once that person admits that he has a problem and seeks help can he/she be helped. When people do not understand addiction the first thing they will ask is what did you do to make him go out and drink/use drugs. I did nothing, but I did enable him by providing him a place to sleep and gave him my car to use, that is enabling. They are also so sorry the next morning and promise never to do it again, and unfortunately that usually is not the case.

Looks like the flood water is receding. [2008-07-07]
As we drove back down from St. Louis, we went through Dutchtown (about 16 miles from home), and those folks once again have a levy built to save their homes. They have been flooded countless times. My heart goes out to them. It was truly sad to see so much hard work that went into those beautiful fields of corn and beans just covered in flood water. It does appear to be going down, though. They definitely need prayers!

New MT [2008-04-17]
I am a recent graduate from an MT school, and have had no luck finding a job thus far. I am a stay at home mother of 2 little girls, and we have been on my husband He is in construction and with the market the way it is right now, we are always concerned about getting the next contract and staying afloat. I am desperately searching for a job working from home so I can stay with my girls. Any prayers and positive thinking sent this way is much appreciated, and will be returned by myself. Thanks so much and Gob bless all of you hardworking MTs out there!

so sorry : ( [2008-04-02]
I am so sorry to hear about that. I am all for BSL (breed specific legislation) against pit bulls. We have a real problem with them here. I am so sorry for your loss. : ( I hope that eventually you will be able to open your heart to another animal that needs a good home.

Definitely in my prayers sm [2008-03-15]
I have a niece was born at 27 weeks weighing 2lbs 7oz. She spent 9 weeks in the hopsital. She even caught an infection while in the NICU but pulled through. She is now 18 years old and has never spent a single day in the hospital since she came home. Defintely no long-term problems. We attest this to all the prayers for her. One more thing, when she did come home, her parents followed the doctorhands off. This is a child who I can honestely say has really never been sick a day in her life, except for the common cold. Once again, I will be praying for Lillianna. What a beautiful name.

Tornados in Wisconsin [2008-01-10]
Please say a prayer for those people who lost their homes and belongings this past Monday due to the tornados here in Wisconsin. There are about 12 houses that were completely destroyed just down the road from me. I saw them right after it happened - it is absolutely devastating. We suffered damages to our home, but it is still standing - we are so very lucky. Our neighborhood will takeweeks to rebuild, but for those poorpeople who lost everything, it will take months upon months before theywill be back to any type of normalcy. Thank you for your prayers.

Praise God; after talking it over with [2007-12-12]
husband, parents, and sister-in-law, I felt peace about taking this job. I thank and praise God for giving me this opportunity to make a change and leave what has been for me the isolating and depressing world of MT since working at home. Those who can do it and not go stir crazy, I applaud you.

I was called for an interview for this job, [2007-12-11]
and went today. It sounds exciting and different and I said I was interested and would talk to my hubby. The pay isn't bad, but isn't great, but it's hourly and the people who work there seem wonderful, I'd be up and moving around, doing inventory of a horticultural nature, and have great benefits. Two days off at Thanksgiving & Christmas, among others. Free plants that aren't good enough to ship, and that's my luxury expense currently, so that would be a biggie in itself. I think I want to take it. Please pray for guidance in this matter. I'm so burned out on working at home, isolated, that this sounds good to me.

Grandbaby [2007-12-06]
Please pray for my husband and me to see our grandson. At this time, our son and his wife are being very mean-spirited toward us and there is no good reason for it, just that they have strange ideas that we are trying to do something or that we do not respect them in some way, when reality is they do not respect us. There It is a long, long story and may sound trivial, but our hearts are heavy for not being able to visit their home and see them or our little Noah. We had to wait a whole year to see him after he was born and then we got to spend about 9 months with them and had great times together when suddenly my daughter-in-law got mad and shut the door once again and we cannot figure out why. We believe she may have emotional problems and our son is just caught in the middle; however, we are baffled that he cannot see what they are doing is hurting not only us, but little Noah as well. Please pray for total restoration, and this time, we want our relationship to be built on real love and real respect, otherwise, this could happen over and over again. We live3 hours from them and did not get to see them much as it was, but now, we have been cut off completely. Thank you all for your prayers.

Nothing is ever too petty for God... [2007-10-09]
Lord I just lift up Happycat and her family to You. I thank You and praise You that You are providing them with a New Home. I ask that You would allow the construction to go quickly and effortlessly and that You would help her to keep the peace with her neighbors. I ask that You would help all the neighbors to love them and help them out Lord. Please change their hearts and help Happycat to love them in spite of their attitudes. She cannot change them but she can change herself and her attitude toward them. So Lord give her wisdom to know how to deal with the neighbors. Thank You Lord...in Jesus' Name...amen

Praying for husband [2007-10-02]
Every morning I pray for our men and women over in Iraq and Afganistan and their safe return home. I will say an extra special one for your beloved husband. Yours in Christ, Winefred/Diana

Prayer for work sm [2007-09-27]
Please pray for my son. He has just lost a second job this yeardue to slowing in his industry and has no benefits left (family). I know there are worse things going on in the world to pray for, but I am getting no sleep and worrying how they are going to pay their bills, etc., as the job market is very slow in this area. He is willing to take anything, but he needs to keep his home and family,. You all know what that is like, I'm sure. He has so much stress that he is depressed and so am I. MOM of 2 boys. PS: I am sure God knows where he lives, and He will get to it when he can.

URGENT, URGENT, URGENT!!! [2007-09-21]
Please pray for a little girl that was abducted from her front yard and was raped and dumped 7 miles from her home bleeding from the vaginal and angal areas. She had to have immediate vaginal and anal surgery. Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, outside of Tulsa. Parents - Please know where your children are at all times. If this statement offends you, I appologize. Do not let your children play in the front yard without an adult. Please, please, please take the time to pass these words to every parent you know. KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT LET THEM PLAY IN THE FRONT YARD WITHOUT AN ADULT PRESENT. These things can be prevented. Yes, we have to trust that God will protect children, but we have to use common sense, too. Diana/Winefred

PLEASE PRAY FOR US!!! [2007-09-04]
I have worked for many years at home for one of our local hospitals. We have full benefits, etc, etc. Tomorrow morning, we have been called in for a meeting where we are sure to be laid-off, fired, or whatever you want to call it. Our hospital hired a company to find ways to save them money. When I looked this company up on the internet I discovered that they totally specialize in outsourcing transcription to places like India. I have been doing medical transcription for close to 25 years, so I am not a young person. On looking around, I see that I cannot make the money that I am used to making, and medical insurance will be a thing of the past for me. The sad thing is - I have a child with a chronic illness that requires regular care for the rest of his life! Oh, did I mention that I am single, so there is no other income!!! Please pray for us. I have no idea in the world what will happen to us.

Please pray for my niece. My SIL [2007-08-27]
just got a call from the doctor and my 18yr old niece My SIL had to call me to find out what this meant. She is away at school and won My SIL needs to tell my niece to come home but doesn I know this is most likely very minor and my niece will be fine, but can always use prayers. Thank you.

I think I'm supposed to [2007-05-16]
I think I need to do something else. Working home isn't for everybody, and it's not for me. The job I want doesn't pay very well, but right now I think the main thing is a 4-day work week, or even part-time. I'm married and DH has a good job. I don't have kids. Is it so wrong to want to get off the hamster wheel at 44 years of age? There is other stuff I want to do with my life besides work. Why do I feel so guilty? Please pray for me. Obviously I'm in need of wisdom!

Need prayers. On top of the tragedy my family and I sm [2007-04-16]
have experienced, we came home to find our goats mauled to death by a pack of wild dogs on our property. We5 years. I took a leave of absence from my job (doctors orders) and had poor work performance after my tragedy and now I am blocked out of system (was supposed to return to work last night), co. not returning emails, and now I may be out of a job. I'm trying to keep positive, especially for my kids (3 young boys), and husband, but I'm having such a hard time. Please pray for my mental health, personal struggles, and for peace and joy to fill my heart and life once again. I know, nothing compared to what has happened in VA. I feel so bad even asking for prayer, but I can hardly function right now. The world is so, so cruel.
