Joys And Concerns

Roisin! I am so glad to hear from you! I wondered how you are and how your first day was spent! Poor you..........being sick and all and on your first day! How do you think you will like the job?

AKlassie! Glad to hear that your marriage is getting on the mend. You take care!

I would like to ask everyone to pray for mercyforme, aka Delaine Brown. As you know she has decided to leave CR. I posted in the General Discussion forum as to why. In short, she decided she was spending too much time here and neglecting the things in her life that were important to her. She is seeing a doctor today so she can start working on her emotional problems. Pray that she will some day be happy and really learn to enjoy life. She seems like a sweet girl and she deserves to be happy.

Todd

Thank you for the information, Todd. I'm praying for her since her very first post. I'm honestly afraid this wasn't her only reason to leave. In fact I think it has to do with her problems and I recognised so many symptoms I know from people I am dealing with in my honorary work. I HOPE wholeheartedly that I am wrong, I'm praying with all my heart for her.

Gabs I hope you're wrong, too. Maybe you're more in tune to that kind of thing, but from the e-mail she sent me I sensed she is serious about dealing with life in a healthy manner. Here's the text of the e-mail:

I hope that after reading it you'll agree with my assessment. I will definitely be praying for her.

Todd

Hey, that's good news! Congrats on the new job... my dad is a retired attorney so I know what you're in for. Don't worry, you'll enjoy it! Its never dull, always different, and you'll meet some neat folks.

Todd;

that's what we all should do: Pray that she'll find her way. I wish her all the strength and courage to start walking it and never stop again from the bottom of my heart. She deserves it so much.

Was off the computer yesterday and am just catching up. Wow, lots happening.

I pray mercy will be OK and she is really getting the help she needs.

akalassie, Go with God. Marriage relationships can be so darn confusing, can't they. I pray you'll both find peace and the path you are meant to be on.

Roisin - glad you had a good first day. I kept wondering.....

Todd, your wife just seems to get more and more dumped on her. Tell her your friends on here say to take care of herself. Massages like Rose said, hot baths, whatever she needs.

I hope I didn't forget anybody. If I did - prayers for you as well! God knows even when I forget.

Hello, everyone!

I just wanted to drop a note to ask everyone to be in prayer for my family tomorrow. I told you in a previous post that my daughter had been suspended from school for a threat that she had made against a classmate. We were told that she couldn't come back to school until she had a psychiatric evaluation. Well, her evalutaion is tomorrow, starting at 9:30 am (I'm on the east coast) and will probably last 5 to 6 hours! Please pray strength for us as well as wisdom and freedom from fear and worry.

I pray for you guys every day even though some days I'm not able to keep up to date on all of your posts or make posts myself. I hope all is well for you and for your loved ones!

Your Brother In Christ

My thoughts are with all of you, wizard...especially with your daughter. Keep us posted!

Allen, I am anxious to hear how things went. I prayed for you last night! Keep us posted!

What a crazy world we're living in. Allen you're in my prayers.
Thank you all for your prayers. Todd, thank you for sharing the email from
mercy. Everytime I think of her I just want to cry. Praying for always. She needs all of our prayers. I pray that God will holds her safe in the palm of his hand.
It's so wonderful having this thread. Praise the Lord. We have a place where we can share. With brothers and sisters in Christ. I thank Him daily for all of you.
You are all in my prayers.
Your sister in Christ.

Hey, Wizard I am anxious to learn how the session went with your daughter. I'm coming late so I just read what just posted on the 19th. So keep us posted.

S.Blues and Elspeth: Thanks for the encouragment. The job is going good. I like my bosses---they are very easy going.

I'm praying for all of you: Gabby, Todd, Allen, Rosemary, S. Blues, Glenda, and Elspeth and especially for mercyforme. Guys you all are like an extended family---someone to lean on when in trouble or going through something hard. I just wanted to say thanks for being there and may God bless you all with His riches and love!

Love and hugs,
Roisin

I praise God and Paul for allowing us to have this forum!

AMEN ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Well, here is an update on the Evaluation Testing...

We spent a large part of the day at the doctor's office. He was a very nice guy and very peasant, but as nice as he was, it was still difficult for Tiffany to endure 5 solid hours of taking written test after written test. She started getting a little testy and antsy toward the end, but she survived. This however is just the start. He has to go over all of the tests and will let us know what the next step will be and where we go from here. she will home-schooled by a school-assigned tutor for the remainder of this school year. They have also classified her as "emotionally disturbed," which - though it sounds bad - is good becasue now she qualifies for special help from the school system in adjusting and for help with her school work. Not sure if she will get to go back to school next year! Depends on the test results. I hope she does get to go back! She needs the help in building her social skills since she has almost no one at home her age to play with.

Well, thats it for now. I will try to keep you updated as things progress.THANK YOU ALL for your thoughts prayers and good wishes through all of this. I wish I could say it was over for her, but I'm not afraid or worried! He IS a BIG GOD and I know that if He watches over the sparrows and the grass of the field that He cares about us and what we must endure. He never said that the road would be easy, but He did say that He would be with us, even unto the end...

THANK GOD for that!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Your Brother In Christ.
