Hello everyone! Tummy bug completely gone. Yippee! Younger DS a bit under the weather but hoping he'll be better tomorrow.

Criada - sorry to hear your friends are having a rough time. I pray things will get better for them and that you will be guided in how best to support them in the meantime.

God never promised that things would be easy, just that he would be there for us when things got tough. But it's a hard teaching, I think. Esp. when, in the words of Philip Yancey, when the going gets tough it can feel as though we are reaching for an invisible God.

<<Brrr>> shakes self out of serious mode.

Gotta go take out the garbage and do the bright colours wash! That always cheers things up!

BTW We're trying to sell our house and we have our first potential buyers coming tomorrow. Any spare prayers greatly appreciated! (never used that prayer smilie before)

Thank you and good night! (it being time here too)

Hey Anna! I'm so glad you are feeling better! But I'm sorry to hear your son isn't. I pray he's back to his typical self in no time!

I'll also be praying for your home too. But keep in mind God is in control. Here's a quick story for you. When we decided to move, we put a deposit on a lot we wanted. We were told, after all was pretty much said and done, we then had 30 days to get our house on the market even though our home would not be built for another 9-12 months.

We did as we were obligated to-- decluttered, storage units, painted just a few rooms, got brand new rugs and some linens for the "showings" (two young children and a puppy-- it was a NIGHTMARE). Our home didn't sell month after month after month.

Fast forward a ton of months, we pulled our home off the market and painted the whole thing and did some very minor cosmetic changes, etc. We put our home back on the market ~20K higher (the market had skyrocketed during that time). Within a week we had a buyer at full asking price.

Even though it didn't sell when we "wanted" it to sell, toss in dh's panic as our new home was being built... God totally amazed us in the end! So, don't panic, fret or drive yourself batty-- He will work it out-- just on His timeline, not ours.

Yes... I know... it's been a long time. Just wanted to drop in and say hi .

I've had a lot going on in my life, good and bad, and it's all kept me from posting online. I just wanted to say that I am doing well in most areas, living like Jesus, struggling in some typical areas for me, and going through a tough personal time (my gramma just passed away... she was my spiritual encourager growing up). Please pray for me, for strength, for comfort, for renewed joy, and for healing (have had a nasty bug for the last 2 weeks or so...)

Anyways, I really wish I had more time to hang out and talk with y'all, but I really have to get back to work.

Please, folks, can you pray for GreenMunchkin.
She's in a bad state, and says that her faith is "hanging by a thread". Please, please, pray!
She is a wonderful person and a good friend to so many people here.

Praying for her! GreenMunchkin has been a blessing to me many times on this forum... maybe we all ought to tell her of times that she's blessed us? Might help her through...
