Dear Lord in Heaven Hear My Prayer:
Thank you for this day; this life; the lessons you have taught me; my children; my grandchildren; my daughter-in-law; I love them all so much - they are gifts from my Father. Thank you - Watch over each one; Lord I ask that you place your hand upon each one of their heads, guide them; protect them; Joel will be in harms way very soon. Protect him. Send all your angels to help him make the right decisions concerning his life and his men. Prepare him now w/the knowledge of being a leader through his journey in war; his faith. Prayer for Joel:
O' Thou ever-present /victorious Lord, Savior, teach my son to know that, though invisible, Thou are ever present. Lord you have told us that all power is given unto Thee in heaven and in earth; therefore, Lord keep my son/protect my son from every danger, and keep him safe w/Thee. Lord in Heaven, Thou hast commanded us to go into all the world to confess Thee and to teach Thy saving truth that makes men free; Lord, walk w/Joel each step; keep Thy holy messengers watch over my son; Give him & his men/women Thy loving care and powerful protection. And as Thou art with me, so be also with all that are dear to me, wherever they may be. Hear me for Thy great name's sake, Jesus. Amen.

Bring Jason home - Lord bring him home. I miss him so much. Prayer for Jason: O' Lord in Heaven, take away from Jason, I humbly beseech Thee, all unbelief and fill him with the gifts of Thy grace; increase in his heart, faith and devotion; replenish his heart w/all goodness and of Thy great mercy keep him in the palm of your hand; show him true humility in prosperity, perfect patience in adversity and continual joy in the Holy Ghost. This I pray, in Jesus name, Amen.

Status: offline 		I'm at a loss - I walked  in on David this pm crying.  I have only seen him one other time - in all these years cry.  The death of his father.
I am so worried for him.  He told me he doesn't feel like he's worth anything - this lawsuit has gone on long enough.  We have to have this all over with soon.  I really don't think David can take much more.
With our boys not home & this lawsuit - at times it's unbearable.
Also, I learned today - I have a large heart murmur.  I have to go back to the doctor for fasting blood work & something else.  Please pray of David, Jason & Joel. 
Thank you

I pray for strength and hope,
Love,  Edda

Status: offline 		Sorry - I haven't been on the site this past week.  I've not been feeling well.  In fact I've felt horrible.  I learned yesterday, I'm a diabetic.  Sugar count was 322.   I don't know the extent or the treatment yet.  I have to go Monday AM back to the lab.  Hopefully we can go with oral medication & diet.  This is going to be a whole new ball game for me.  I know in my heart of hearts God has a reason for everything, but why me?  I have enough going on.  The only reason I can come up with - the Lord wants me to slow down; stop stressing out; relax; take care of me for a change! 
Lord, be with us all!

Status: online 		Dear Debbie, I, too, am sorry that you are facing an additional challenge. As Lynn said, diabetes is manageable. And even if you need to take insulin, the needles are so tiny now you can't even feel them. They are the same I use for my bone-building shots. Regardless of why you have developed this, of one thing I am sure that the Lord always wants you to take care of yourself. You may have heard some variation of loving your neighbor as yourself, pity the poor neighbor, since we often don't know how to love ourselves well.
You along with your family are in my prayers,
Love,  Edda

Keeping you in my prayers,

Status: offline 		I am so sorry this has happened to you. I would like to tell you a about something that had happened to my husband and myself in 2005. It was sept. of 2005 when my husband excepted a position in Costa Rica with a man who was from the U.S. living in Costa Rica. The position was to be a guide for his up and coming resort and also selling properties for him. When my husband got to Costa Rica all of the promised things seemed to be coming his way. He was working and doing what he loved doing. In the mean time I am in the U.S. selling everything we own. House,cars,furniture, everything. All we had left was a few personal boxes of family things a bed, motorcycle,our new puppy and our love for each other. I moved to Costa Rica to be with my husband in December on Christmas Eve. We were so excited to be doing this adventure. We were both taught to trust others. To believe in a person's word. Well let me just say that after we were there a month. Everything changed. The new boss was no longer coming around. The homes to sell were no longer available. The guide service was not going to happen. In other words we were scamed. We were now homeless in another country. No family around. The land we had tried to buy there was not available. And not only was it not available but it had been sold to many people who were out their money also. We had no place to live. We were living with our dog at a hotel that we had to pay for. With our last 1,500 dollors. We only ate once a day. I got sick in Costa Rica with bites and a kidney stone. It was horrible. Our few things had been taken to the port of San Francisco to be shipped to Costa Rica and we could not stop the shipment so we thought. But we soon found out that it had never left California. So we still had our boxes and our motorcycle. Long story short. We had to call our families to get us home. And thank god we had family here in the u.s. Let me just say. Costa Rica was beautiful. The people who are native to that country would do anything for you. It was the con artist who hurt us so badly. The federal government is now after him. But,we made it home finally. We had to live with my daughter and family for over a year. Mind you we are in our late 40's and having to live with my children. What a slap in the face for me. We had no home in the us or in costa rica. So now it is almost two years later and we finally have an apartment and a car. A women we met in NC. gave us our Car that we have now and let us work off the price of the car doing work around her home. It was paid off in May. Oh, and we have our dog Candita who was with us in Costa Rica. It has been a very long road to live. We have felt more than once that we had been lied to cheated and used. We felt as if we had done something wrong in our lives to be done this way. But we now have to look at it as a lesson. A lesson that you can't always trust a person's word as being gospel. You can search, you can investigate the person and still get burned. And that is what happened to us. You have to trust your inner self and do what you can to be honest yourself. I know for us, we have a hard time believing people. Trusting. We now are doing better and it will get better for you. Keep praying. God will be there for you. I have to say that in our lesson we learned that we don't need all the things we had. We lived in a tent when we came to the east coast from Nevada for 5 months before finding someone who would take us on our word and believe us and our story of bad luck. I forgot to mention that we also lost our credit history. It is gone. Not good!. No one wants to do anything for you unless your credit is good. But we have been very lucky in finding good people who believe in us and gave us a chance.And things are finally looking better. We can finally see some light. Don't give up. Life has lessons in it. And it will all work out the way it is supposed to be. Best of luck.

Status: offline 		Debbie,
I noticed something common in your posts and I would like to be just a different point of view for yourself. I do not intend for this comment to be held as judgment, but recognition. Sometimes others see clearly what we do not see clearly for ourself.

You've said several things in your post that might diminish your message of need and the honor you have for your faith:

quote:

I wish w/all my heart someone would just show up and help us. A good decent Christian.

quote:

Please pray that we find a good christan attorney.

quote:

We're looking for an honest man w/a good reputation.  A Christian.

quote:

God has made me the rock in this family & it's very tiresome.

quote:

I know in my heart of hearts God has a reason for everything, but why me? I have enough going on.



Also, I looked under Psalm 69. I found this:
Psalm 69:4-5
More in number than the hairs of my head
are those who hate me without cause;
mighty are those who would destroy me,
those who attack me with lies.
What I did not steal
must I now restore?
O God, you know my folly;
the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.

It's not 'everyone else,' luv. Otherwise, everyone else would be having these immediate problems. A decent man does not always wear the cloak of Christianity; I'm scared that your requirement to be good means being Christian. But, what if someone was there to help you and you allowed your 'requirement' to not see them? If you ask God for good people, he will provide you with good people and, most times, he won't deliver them in the manner you dictate. There's a lesson in this, I think. I've found, lately, that my love is not worth sharing if I do not honor it, in every single aspect of my life.

I've faith you are here for answers and you have no demands on others. I'm concerned, though, that you may be 'talking' more about your faith than you are 'living' it. I do not say this lightly and have reworded it numerous times. I do not want you to feel like this is all your fault and that you had invited this negativity in your life. THAT, I do not believe. But I'm very comfortably still in saying that maybe you've lost sight of the good things to be sincerely grateful for, through the struggles. David was able to find a second job? Have you looked at the job market, lately? There's goodness in that; that you will be provided for! Allow that to support your faith and love. Walk more lightly to honor your faith more deeply and you will feel a difference.

I pray for you guidance.

Status: online 		Dear Deby, welcome to the forum. Thank you for sharing your story with us. You have learned some very hard lessons. I am glad that you can look at them as having taught you some very valuable insights and that you have started anew. By telling your experience you are providing an important service to others who might be tempted to fall for an offer that sounds like a great opportunity but turns out to be a scam.
Wishing you everything good for your "new" life,
Edda

Status: offline 		Thank you very much for your insite. I reread my message to you after reading your message to me. And I have to say that in reading it. I have lost faith. I have lost the trust that is so needed in this world. I know there is a god. I feel it in my heart when I look around and see all his glory. I know that is that when my first child died 12 years ago I prayed very hard to god to help me keep going. And at that time I know he heard me. He gave me things to think about and remember. And I know that if it had not been for him that I would not be here. I learned at this hard time in my life that it is always important to tell your love ones how special they are. To tell them that they make a difference in your life. To enjoy the beauty that god has made all around us. Because life is very short.The thing I have lost is that he is there for me, Deby. Because so much has happened to me that I don't understand why he lets things continue to test me? Why would he want to do that to us? It is the faith of the human beings that I fear will hurt me and dissapoint me. I have always been self concious about the importance I have in this world. And to go thru what I have in my life with so much hurt from people who say they care about me makes me doubt things. I know that I do have faith issues. When the doubt came into my life I don't know. I don't know when it all changed for me. What happened and when I lost the faith that is so important. There are times when I feel so alone that I don't know where he is and why I feel he does not answer me at all. I just continue to speak to him. To tell him what I am feeling. I remember my mom always saying Deby speak to God and give him your dispair. Ask for his guidance. And hope that I will someday see his love for me. And be able to recognize it when he does speak to me.
 
 I want to thank you for your insite. Thank you for being honest with me. I hope that your life continues to be better and turns around.

2.  Send Jason home.
3.  Give us our court date & let us win.
I don't think I can handle much more.
