Oh Angie! Darling sweet friend!

You can ALWAYS come to us. God doesn't want us to handle our problems by ourselves! Why do you think He wants us to come together for worship? So that we have the support of our brothers and sisters in faith!

And I am ALWAYS here for you. Please email me if you ever want my number so you can have an ear to listen to you. kaemea at gmail dot com. (that goes for any of you brothers and sisters!!!)

I'm offering many many prayers for you!

Kae

I think you're learned your lesson missy! Now how are you doing with your seating selection on Sunday mornings? In the back where ya belong yet? :p :p

Kae

Yes sir! I'm in the back with my friends and family. LOL Although, last Sunday my folks were out of town and I was TEMPTED to sit on the other side of the Church IN FRONT. Right up near the pulpit.

I didn't though. I fought the temptation.

LOL

Thanks to all for your prayers. Our Lord has blessed me with a good report. I do not have cancer as was first thought. Here is what happened.....
The mammogram had showed a large nodule, and it was compared to my 2005 mammogram, that showed nothing. It was then thought that I had a fast growing cancer. What the doctor did today, was look at all my mamms over the last 10yrs. The large nodule showed up on every one "except" 2005. So what happened is that I had a bad mamm in 2005 that did not show everything. This "new" nodule is exactly the same size as it was 10yrs ago. So, ladies....have your mammograms done every year. They are so important to have a history for your doctors to look back on. And remind your doctors to check your old mamms....so as not to scare one have to death, unessasarily.

Thanks be to God for His mercy on me. Prayers for others whose tests don't come out the way mine did.

I am still in the hospital, being detoxed off the drug that was no good for me. The drug has given me thoughts of self harm, erratic, and depressive thinking. It has hurt those around me, as it's so hard to understand. I tend to be rough on myself when things like this happen.

Mental illness is hard sometimes. It hurts the person suffering it and those around them. I'm only telling all this to help bring the illness out in the open. If I can ever be of help to anyone, please contact me. I've been living this for 23yrs.

Only Christ can help one who feels as I do. I praise and thank Him for being my friend and yours too.

I understand, got a sister that needs mental help and we can't get her to go anywhere because she doesn't think anything is wrong with her. God bless you

Those are the toughest types to help. I actually feel very blessed in my illness, as I can tell when I need help. I also have a deal with my doctor and husband that I will always get help if I feel like hurting myself.

Keep supporting your sister, and try not to place blame on her. Tell her you love her, and there is help out there, and there is no need for her to feel so sad and worthless. Tell her you will keep praying for her and that Jesus is her dearest friend.

Her type of problems, she's heard voice's like coming through the tv or radio or outside the window, thinks people, everyone including family members, are doing stuff to her like gassing her, messing with her car or tanning her, things like that. She's called the police before on people. She can't live in one place very long because she of this stuff, she's afraid to leave her car, she hangs on to everything she's got. She won't go to church, she was a member at my parents church and she went up there or called one and told them to take her off the membership list. We don't know what to do, we've told her nicely that no one is doing anything to her it doesn't help.

Scizophrenia (sp?) is one of the most difficult of all mental illnesses. I feel very badly for you and your family...but also think of the torment your sister lives in, day in and day out.

I have an idea, but I would speak with a psychiatrist first....maybe "go along" with one of her fears. A simple one like about the voices coming through the TV. Tell her you hear them too, and you know of a doctor who can get rid of them. It's a thought, anyway. Because you are never going to convince her otherwise, until she is on the proper meds.

Always tell her how much Jesus loves her, and protects her.

Although I haven't posted, Angie, I have been praying for you. And now prayers of thanksgiving for the good news about not being cancer.

Psalm 91 (God's Word)

1 Whoever lives under the shelter of the Most High will remain in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the LORD, "[You are] my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust."

3 He is the one who will rescue you from hunters' traps and from deadly plagues. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armor. 5 You do not need to fear terrors of the night, arrows that fly during the day, 6 plagues that roam the dark, epidemics that strike at noon. 7 They will not come near you, even though a thousand may fall dead beside you or ten thousand at your right side. 8 You only have to look with your eyes to see the punishment of wicked people.

9 You, O LORD, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your home. 10 No harm will come to you. No sickness will come near your house. 11 He will put his angels in charge of you to protect you in all your ways. 12 They will carry you in their hands so that you never hit your foot against a rock. 13 You will step on lions and cobras. You will trample young lions and snakes.

14 Because you love me, I will rescue you. I will protect you because you know my name. 15 When you call to me, I will answer you. I will be with you when you are in trouble. I will save you and honor you. 16 I will satisfy you with a long life. I will show you how I will save you.

:prayer: :prayer:



In Christ's love,

I was born in Cleveland and lived there until I was 10, I still have relatives that live there on my mother's side.

I'm sorry.

*G* Just kidding. One of my best friends lives in Cleveland. I love to tease him about the fact. He gives it right back to me.

Thank you so much, filo and Kim. It is so wonderful to have Christian friends who care so much.
And Filo, those are some of my most favorite verses in Scripture.
Kim, you are always such a light, even on one's darkest days...always so chipper and positive.

Today has been a rough day. I'm pretty drugged up, to help get off another drug. Goofy, huh? I go through crying spells, then dizziness, then foggy brain. It's all real weird. I might be able to go home on sunday. I'm still having too many anxiety attacks at this point.

I, and my husband too, have praised God for the good report on no cancer. It turned out to be quite the miracle, really. Thanks for your continued prayers. I feel like you guys are part of my family. :hug:
