Joyfully Pray For Myself And Others

Please pray that I’m able to get health insurance through the company that is offering UHC insurance. I’ve had health insurance through this company in the past at a previous employer’s and wasn’t too thrilled with them, but they are a major carrier, and I just want something that is comprehensive that will continue to cover my family without having to requalify every single year as I’ve been having to do with catastrophic health insurance.

The premiums are affordable for the kids and I and though we do not go to the dr’s often (none except for the chiro in nearly 1.5 yrs, which I will not submit to insurance because it’s more affordable with no insurance involved), but just in case of when we really need it.

It has been a nightmare, as stated in my previous entry, to get underwriting my medical records. I had them and would’ve faxed them over to them if they would accept them, but they would not, otherwise, I could’ve saved myself 5 weeks worth of stress.

Anyway, they say it will be another 3-5 days before I hear anything. I really do not want to go through this again. I would really appreciate prayers here that I do get the policy, especially for all that I’ve had to go through.

Please pray for my blood pressure. It’s been high for the past 3-4 weeks or so. It’s of concern to me. I’ve been taking my meds correctly for the past 6 weeks or so, and prior to that, for 2 weeks I did a lower dosage.

Yes, I’ve had a lot of things in the past 3-4 weeks going on:

• Kids’ started school 4.5 weeks ago
• Car accident (minor) on 7/30
• Dental cleaning on 7/30
• Coincidental chiropractic maintenance adjustments on 7/30
• Started EMDR session 7/29
• Began working out regularly the week before
• Began journaling and accountability partner for exercise & eating
• Sleeping more consistently at nights (getting to bed earlier)
• Started back at consistent flossing EVERY DAY instead of when I remember
• Daily stretching
• Weekly deep tissue massages 6-7 weeks ago.

I think there are more stuff, but I can’t quite remember. Of course the divorce and finding out the judge’s rulings have been disturbing, but I’ve been doing EFT and prayer there.

I’ve been getting a lot of headaches and it’s due to my BP being high. It’s really stressing me out. Today’s BP, the last reading was 145/76. The 76 was fine, but the 145 is still not good.

My BPs have been from 135-175/75-110. Prior to this in June and before, it was in the 100-130/65-80. I’m taking the same dosage of meds I’ve been prescribed to for the past 2-3 yrs.

Right now I still don’t have health insurance because of some lame stuff regarding getting my medical records and the beauracracy of it. I must’ve made literally over 50 calls again and again to the insurance company, my dr, the medical records people, the insurance agent, underwriting. Finally today I found that the underwriting area has received my medical records after making calls on this for OVER 5 weeks, which is nearly daily back and forth.

Thanks so much for your intercession in prayer for me.

My ex wants to take me to court on more parenting time. He gets 3 hrs a week and one overnight a month. He’s been making about 75% of the weekly visits and 0% of the overnights.

He’s also only been paying 1/3 of the child support. He’s basically been paying for $29/wk/kid. Actually, I recalculated what I’ve received since the court hearing and it’s been $26.87/wk/kid. That’s really pathetic, isn’t it?

I can’t take this insanity, but yet I’m going to. Sean is just about 5 and there is at least 13 more years of this hell with him. There’s more, but I don’t want to write about it.

He wants the rights and privileges of a parent without any responsibilities.

Please continue to pray for us.

I would like prayer for my daughter, Hannalee. She has been stealing often and lots of lies. These are traits that are very much Henry’s and are really upon Hannalee.

The latest incident is she stole from a friend’s home that we were at on Tuesday. She said she took it because she liked it. It’s always the excuse. She has no remorse, except when she gets caught and punished.

The police have been involved now in 3 different situations, the school (principal, vice principal, psychologist, teachers), my church, my family, and I. I’m really beside myself and it makes me so angry.

She keeps doing this and I don’t know how to make her stop. I’m afraid one day she’ll end up in jail.

Hannalee awoke at 12:30 am puking. It took about 4 hrs to get everything cleaned up and 2 loads of laundry done & dried, bed remade, the carpet & rugs steam vac’d, floors cleaned, and of course, her cleaned up.

She fell back asleep while I was cleaning up stuff. Thought maybe there might be another bout as she said her tummy still hurt.

I woke her around 4:30 am to have her come sleep with me, but putting her on the floor with a comforter and a different blanket, ensuring that if she threw up again, it would be easier to cleanup the mess.

As we were walking to my room, she threw up again. This time I had anticipated that and she had a big tupperware thing to throw up into.

But, she also ended up having big time diarrhea. She says her tummy feels better.

Anyway, we’re done with parties today. She has 3 more parties later in the week and I’m going to limit what she consumes, as this is not fun to go through.

Please pray that Sean would not get sick. Please pray that this is it for Hannalee and that anything upsetting her system is done by now with 2 vomits and 1 diarrhea.

Thanks!

I would like to request for my dad in his divorce. It started over 2 yrs ago. His wife wants to basically leave him homeless. She has had a myriad of deceitful things she’s done.

Anyway, he goes to court tomorrow. Please pray that his wife will not be able to do this to my dad, who is in his mid-70s. It’s been a huge, messy thing.

He lives in northern CA and none of his kids will be able to be there for him physically, though, my brothers have been there for him a lot through this time.

Please pray for a judge that is fair and see past the lies of his wife, and that she would not get more than what is right. Thank you.

I really need to get paperwork to a certain person that I’ve found myself procrastinating about. Procrastination is not something I’ve been doing about most things and not sure why I didn’t do this 3 weeks ago.

I’m need prayer to get this done today or tomorrow, on top of the jaw/mouth pain.

Saturday when I woke up from my nap to catch up for not getting enough sleep the night before, my left lower jaw was hurting. As far as I know, I do not grind my teeth at night.

The only other time I really experienced real jaw pain was Jan’05, which resulted in a root canal while I was on vacation, which did not make that vacation a real vacation because of the pain I was experiencing and having to find a dentist to help me out of state.

I’m hoping that’s not the case here. The pain is not as bad as that time, but it’s still pretty painful. I took some Oragel and have been doing it every 3-4 hrs or so, which helps some, but not strong enough.

I do not have dental insurance, so if I remember correctly, the expense of it was around $2K, which is not money I have to do this. Please pray they can find the problem and fix it for not very much, and if it costs more than I can afford, that my dentist will work with me on payments that I can handle.

Well, I just checked my dental discount plan. It’s about $700 for a molar root canal and for the crown, it’s about the same. That’s still a lot of money for me.

My prayer here is:

1. That whatever is causing my jaw pain can be easily remedied inexpensively permanently.

2. If I’m requiring a root canal with a crown, that my dentist will work with me with payments that are affordable to me and that I can get all the money to pay for that quickly.

3. I can get an appointment today with the dentist that fits Sean’s & Hannalee’s schedules.

I would like to ask for prayer for sleep. Each night my sleep has been impeded in one form or another: kids, dogs, myself, other stuff.

Without good sleep every night, I’m unable to effectively function to meet all the demands.

Thank you!!!

Today’s meeting resolved very little and though I do not want to publically write much about this, the legal system served Henry well and not really me. How nice it must be to have rights and privileges without responsibilities and obligations.

My spirit is heavy and discouraged. The courts do not really care. It isn’t enough to provide a healthy, safe, loving environment for your children that is stable and nurturing, and to be financially responsible. I now have learned that you can be totally irresponsible in every way and that you can have much more rights than the person that has been making good choices.

There is so much I want to write here, but that’s about all I will write for obvious and unobvious reasons.
