Hello friends, I feel funny for asking for prayers. I hold people in prayer, but I don't think I know how to receive prayer. I am freaking out. So I am reaching out. I also hate to sound like a victim, but I do feel as though I've reached my limit. As you know from the "lying is cheating" thread, my H and I have had our share of concerns regarding our relationship. And, as you know from the "caring for our parents" forum, you'll read that my mother has terminal cancer and Alzheimer's. In the meantime, my H got fired. And I re-entered a former career in real estate. I'm still, always, working on my Project for TEARS, and I have a presentation to give next week. But there is no income! How do we live without an income? I do not want to have to put my own house on the market; we will not even break even. We are living on savings and faith. I'm nervous that without health insurance I will have to cut back on my anti-depressants. My H is medicated too. I'm rambling. Before I go on and on, please, if you have a chance, if you want to, a prayer for my H and I would be OK with me. Love and Light back at you, L, PL

Of course I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I firmly believe that things always work out the way they are supposed to, even if we don't realize it at the time.

Love and cyber-hugs coming your way.

Lynnie, you're always in my heart too...I'll keep you especially close in my prayers tonight and throughout the coming days. What a tough road you're on right now! Must be so overwhelming at times...remember to close your eyes, take a deep breath and know, KNOW, that you are loved more than you can imagine, stronger than you think you can be and you're not alone. Feel our loving care, our support, our prayers lifting you up in those moments when you feel most overwhelmed by it all...we're there, God's there.

I'm going to finish this post because I want to go find the lyrics to a song that has been helping me through my grief...I'll be right back...

This is called "Desert Rose" by Whiteheart...it has brought me immeasurable comfort over the past few months, especially the part where they sing "He will hold you"...

Lost in a windswept land
In a world of shifting sand
A fragile flower stands apart.
There on that barren ground
You feel like the one
Trying to serve Him with all your heart.

And you wonder, wonder
Can you last much longer?
This cloud you are under -
Will it cover you?

Desert rose (desert rose)
Don't you worry, don't be lonely,
Heaven knows, Heaven knows -
In a dry and weary land, a flower grows,
His desert rose

Sometimes holiness
Can seem like emptiness
When you feel the whole world's laughing eyes;
But if it's a lonely day,
Know you're on the Father's way,
He will hear you when you cry...

And He will hold you, hold you,
Your Father will hold you;
He will love you, love you
For the things you do.

Desert rose (desert rose)
Don't you worry, don't be lonely
Heaven knows, Heaven knows,
In a dry and weary land, a flower grows,
His desert rose

Desert rose...

PL,

Consider my best thoughts, prayers and wishes yours! It's hard not to look at the circumstances as they are and become overwhelmed. I will pray that you are able to envision the beautiful gifts that God has all lined up in pretty satin boxes for you...and that as you hold that vision...they start to arrive one by one and two by two.

Take care of you!

Lynnie, my heart goes out to you; those are just too many hardships at once. That would floor anyone.

That's wonderful that you are doing house showings! I have a feeling something will come through, and I'll pray that it will! Maybe you know this allready, but it took me a while to use one of the best resources to get new homes to sell, and that was from the customers looking for new homes. Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious, I'm sure you are doing everything just right.

Did you say your Hubby is a cook? Has he ever thought of looking for a job at a party service? We have friends that have a party – restaurant service, and he is forever seeking cooks. Maybe by you too?

Sending you a warm hug, and will say a prayer for you and your family.
Hannelore

Lynnie, I just sent some positive thoughts/prayers for you. Never forget how much we all love you.

This is the storm before the calm. You'll make it through just fine.

You know Hannelore you have a point there if Lynnie's husband is a cook there is catering serves and hotels and all kinds of places he can go to cook. At the mean time he can apply for unemployment to help out . Just some thoughts

Keeping you in my prayers always,

Renee
