Praying for you Mary, and also for Sharen.

My shoulder is in agony. All because I got impatient instead of waiting for dh to help and/or do it.

Thank you Kristen

 

[Marycita]

I am having some serious issues

 

[cristianna]

And you have a serious person who wants you to seriously talk to Him. Go for it! And I'll be talking to Him about you too.

So my grandmother may be dying. She's 95 (her bday is in August).

The thing is, I think sometimes we have the misconception that the really elderly are ready to die, or give up, or better able to accept death. My GM is none of these things. We're talking about a woman who just flew from Des Moines to SC and back so she could celebrate her great grandchildren's bdays. I know she's scared to die. Mom told me that GM has panic attacks at night...she fears not waking up.

The other hard thing about this is that GM has been sick like this before and has always pulled through. She's a tough cookie and that's fantastic, but sometimes it's easy to be lulled into a false sense of security. My mom knows that eventually GM will die, but currently she expects her to get better, because GM always gets better.

Anyway, if you could keep them both along with the rest of my family in your prayers I'd be grateful.

Lifting this up to God in prayer

Thank you.

Grandma is out of the hospital now and at home. It appears she has recovered although I'm afraid to get my hopes up.

She is an amazing woman.

Glad to hear that she's back at home!

Continuing prayers that she may feel God's comfort and assurance

Yay! Great news Red! God is great!

DH just had a preliminary job interview. It's the first interview he has had after applying for 9 jobs. Apparently it went very well. If he were to get the job we would have to move.
Of course for us to even consider a move I would also have to get a job in the same area.
I really don't want to move, for many many reasons, not the least of which is that I am not sure DH is emotionally ready for another position like he had before. Plus the kids and I have enjoyed having Daddy around more. And lastly, DH's mom lives in the area we would move to. Ordinarily this would be great - and is great as far as the kids are concerned - but she is not stable and I truly fear her having too much involvement with my family. DH's mental condition always seems aggravated when he spends much time around her. Yet, as I type this I am eager to follow God wherever he may send us.
Please keep us in your prayers.

Oh Red, now if that is not a melting pot of anticipation, excitement, apprehension and more I don't know what is! I also would be eager to follow because wow, what does He have planned?!

Praying for you and your family.

 

[Kristen.NewCreation]

Know that you'll continue to be in my prayers, only more specifically now.

 

[Redheadedstepchild]

Thank you guys. We have not heard anything more - if this is going to happen I think we should probably find out something today or tomorrow.
I have 3 applications in and have been asked to interview for 2 positions, which is great for but hard for DH at the same time. I'll keep you posted.
