• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I hear you girl. I'll make more of an effort to come back here more often. This is a special place - annointed by God I believe. We have seen miracles happen here and this forum has been a part of it.
My apologies for letting it slide.

Just feel like sharing.... As some of you know my Andrew will be attending public school starting with summer school at the end of this month. I am a wreck about it but excited for him. Right now he is excited too - really hoping he does well and is happy there. A weight will be lifted if that is the case.

I am looking forward to getting back into working out and may even consider training for fitness competitions again.

My driving is still an issue though since my accident last May. Really praying for healing in this area.

How are you all doing? I know Paula is rocking her public speaking!!!:thumbsup:

Court, I think it would be FANTASTIC if you got back into weight training and even competitions. You need, and everyone needs, something of their OWN to focus on, to strive for. Good for you!

I am heading to the Toastmasters British Columbia finals this weekend actually and I am hoping to rock it indeed. Hoping to connect with my audience in my speech about a nasty Mother's Day I had one year and the lessons about gratitude that I learned.

If I win this, I will move on to the World Championship Semi-Finals in Orlando Florida in August.

Right now I'm kind of freaked out because Meaghan spent the day puking and having diarrhea all day long and I'm hoping to God that I don't get sick, or if I do, just not on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've also been considering buying the house we're in- a first for us so VERY scary and exciting.

Yeah Paula, I have to have things to look forward to while Drew is in school or I will have to be sedated because of worry! Seriously, I will be getting back into weight training regardless....it is good for me in many ways.

You will ROCK IT my friend! I know you will! You are so amazing and I am so happy for your success with Toastmasters! I will be praying that Meg gets well and that you don't catch it!!!

Wow! Congrats on the maybe home purchase. That would be awesome! My only complaint is that the house next to us is still calling your name... :)

On a different note....I've been rather sick lately and could use some prayers. I don't know if it's just stress but I've been having some really bad stomach problems. Will be seeing a specialist on the 29th. Hoping an ER visit does not come first. I just can't stop thinking about "losing" my son to the public school system... (we've been homeschooling but need to send him to public school this year)....I'm rambling...sorry...just needed to get that out...

I think your feelings are perfectly warranted honey. I can't imagine how you feel though.
You know you are doing the best thing for him Court. You've got to keep that in mind and trust God. He is going to make new friends and have a whole new exciting journey. and you are too. I love you sister. :hug:

Hi Everyone,

I've been a bit slack about getting on here lately. I have been ridiculously busy and I'm not exagerating..... I've been working full time, lecturing a unit a college and studying for my Masters as well as still being Mum!! And that doesn't include church stuff. The good news is that I have decided to drop the lecturing and the Masters for a while. I only have a few years left with my girls at home and I need (and want) to spend these years with them and not with my head always in books. I can always pick it up again later if I want.
I'm really excited about it. Hopefully I'll be able to be on here more often too :)

I really believe in this ministry.

Love you all xox
