[Confess]

There is just so much going on.

We will have to give up our home in NC to the lender (foreclosure) because no one is interested in buying it and we can't afford to keep it. This means we cannot effectively purchase a new home for some 7 years.

Tough pill to swallow!

Today I got robbed.

I was at a Lutheran resale shop where my purse was stolen. The guy also found my van and took my digital camera. He then tried to come back to steal my van (but me and my friends were sitting inside it waiting for someone to pick us up). We knew he was the one who stole it, my friend saw him with what looked to be my purse under his shirt. He then came back about an hour later and gave us the most hateful look, he stared us down and intimidated me.

The guy used my ATM card 5 times. We don't know how much he took since the charges haven't cleared yet.

All this happened at 2:30pm and it is now almost 11pm. I just got home FINALLY about 30 minutes ago.

I feel so bad.

 

[Tofferer]

My prayers are with you. May God bring joy to you despite this time of trial. Indeed, may he use this time of trial to prepare you for something that will glorify him and show you as his faithful and trustworthy servant.

 

[Cheri67]

Im sorry Confess to hear all that, and I will pray for you. Remember God can take what satan means for bad, and bring about a great blessing for you..keep your spirit on Him, He never fails

 

[Jim47]

Very sorry to hear all this Confess. I'll offer prayers for you as well.

 

[seajoy]

Oh Confess, I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you and your family. Our Lord will sustain you through it...we have His promises.
I'll be praying for you.

Ugh, that's tough. We are trying to sell ours so we can move to Ft. Wayne, but alas, this is not a good year to do that. We are hoping to avoid that. We are at the age, where we can't afford to wait that long to start over, and we will have lost a lot as it is already, even if we do sell.

Boy, and I thought I was having problems.

Chris and I will definitely keep you in our prayers!

I hope this doesn't sound trivial or anything, but I would also like to ask for prayer. I have had problems with my . before, but this has been getting ridiculous! In the past 4 or 5 weeks, I have been becoming anemic because of the loss of...stuff. It has been heavier than I have ever seen/experienced. I'm just asking for prayer that it will stop!

Sorry if I offended anyone.

In no way is this trivial! And certainly not offensive. This can be troubling, painful, and perhaps serious.

Lord, grant your healing to Hope. According to your mercy, strengthen her, encourage her, and comfort her during this difficult time. Through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Thanks everyone. This experience has truly been humbling!

PM me if you want. I went through the same thing recently. Maybe I can help!

Confess,
I'll be praying for you. I'm sure life must be very stressful right now.

Confess,

I tell you what it has done. It has shown me that I didn't fully fear, love and trust in unless I had my home and all my money.

I think that sometimes God has to allow our circumstances to shake us so that we can truly see our need for him in our lives. Even now I wonder if my arthritis and bone spur aren't that for me as what you've been through is for you. May God draw you closer to him and his word.

 

[mrshoperose]

Praise the Lord!

It looks like that .....issue is going away!

I am so happy! I am feeling a lot better, and I have more energy!

Thank you for your prayers!

Hope

I know there are one or two people on here who still like me – I would like to ask them for some prayers. This has been a rough month. My husband was in the hospital for 5 days at the beginning of the month with an atypical pneumonia. It got kind of scary there when his super high fever wouldn’t break, and we needed an infectious disease specialist to get the diagnosis and antibiotics that work. While it isn’t contagious by casual contact, it is when you spend almost the entire time in the hospital room with him, so I came down with the same thing two weeks later. I got the correct medication right away, so I didn’t get bad enough to be in the hospital, but having a taste of what he went through was bad enough. For the first time in my career, I’ve gone through all my sick days, and managed to do it all in one month!

Anyway, we are both feeling much better but we both still need an inhaler to help with the coughing – we both sound like we’ve been smoking for decades. I still have another week of antibiotics and I have a follow up with my doctor tomorrow.

We are supposed to fly to Aruba this Saturday for my sister’s wedding on Monday. There’s going to be 9 of us friends and family down there with her. Please pray for safe travels for everyone and a smooth time with the actual wedding part – there’s been some paperwork snags with that. Also prayers that we both stay well, at least through the end of the year until we get more sick days.

While I don’t post much, I do check out the prayer requests and know that you all remain in my prayers.

Flipper, good to see you post here, again.

My prayers are, indeed, with you and your husband. What a spell of difficult times. May God strengthen, bless, and protect you through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hey Flip (previously Radidio). Great seeing you again. Sure have missed you. Prayers going out to both of you.

All I know is both my doctor and his doctor are saying that this atypical stuff is showing up more and more. What we learned from this is that if you find yourself with a deep unproductive cough and a fever, beg your doctor to skip the Z-pack and move on to the heavy stuff, like Levaquin, for at least 10 days (we both had to do 17 days). He ended up in the hospital because the Z-pack didn't clear it up and it came back with a vengeance. I stayed out of the hospital because I was given the Levaquin right away.

Also, the atypical stuff doesn't show up on a chest x-ray unless the doctor knows what to look for, so don't be surprised if the x-ray is clear, even if you have all the other symptoms. We both had "normal" x-rays that weren't really normal.

 

[RadMan]

Is this a new resistant pneumococcal strain? I haven't hear of it out here and I'm only about 90 miles from you. Or is it just in the metropolitan areas?

Edited: I just researched it out. Walking pneumonia. I've heard of that. Akin to SARS and Legionella. Yuck.

 

[Flipper]

If you look up mycoplasma (what we had) it will tell you that its fairly common and a Z-pack or amoxicillin will do the trick. It didn't with him. One site says that it's so mild that your body can treat it on its own. He thinks it was just a fluke with him, but I do wonder if it's become drug-resistant.
