Joyfully Pray For Myself And Others

1. Alpha folks searching for answers….
2. the dilemma of when to have kids…
3. job opportunities…
4. z’s mom…
5. grandma’s radiation treatments…
6. peace of mind…

-found community where I was least expecting it.
-saw the heart of people that I judged on the outside, but through their honesty with eachother and the Lord came to feel affinity and love for them in mere seconds.
-it felt great to be moved to tears by the Glory of God, the power and majesty of His work in ordinary people, to be invited into caring for them, lifting up broken hearts, failing marriages, raw and sore emotions. To BE COMMUNITY.
-just. such. a blessing.

and it’s starting to freak me out.
stop stop stop
GO TO BED.
NOW.

last night was able to joyfully lay back in a comfy chair during the performance and to pray for God’s Spirit to be present, to be active, to be working through Mark’s hands, to be creating something beautiful and different and God Breathed. it was very peaceful and rewarding. God was present. I was aware of Him. I am so thankful.

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 know that God “knows the groanings of my heart” which is cool… yaaaa, but, i feel inadequate, i feel tongue-tied, i feel feeble not knowing what to say on the situation of my sister... i am not comfortable not having an answer!

please, i need prayer for the words – REAL WORDS not trite, overused, overly-obvious phrases of “everything will work out in the end”. i need to pray with INTENTION and i need to rest and WAIT. and then to pray again and rest and wait. and TALK with the Creator Of The Universe (as my friend likes to say) and maybe then, i will have some peace about the crappiness of this world.

Lord, please make me an instrument for change in this world. please give me the strength to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

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!
