Aiming for a new me 13

[Maya44]

Another quiet drama free day here. The only drama in my life is the stuff I have going on in my mind. I wish those voices would knock it off already!

Sooo, H is supposed to meet D & I at her school tonight at 5:30 for the Back to School Party. He said that if he couldn't make it he's let me know. Anyone want to start placing bets on this one? I won't be able to let you know the outcome until Sunday or Monday though since D & I will be in WI tomorrow for the day.

Oh my gosh MWG what your h said:

"I will come home when I say and when I am ready, not when someone else thinks I should come home."

This is almost exactly what my h has said over and over.

Yikes!

FG I wanted to let you know that I have been praying for you this week, but nothing has come to mind for you. I was going to try again this weekend and see.

I prayed for NLT too and got the word Peace.

For you it might just mean silence. Not sure, but I know that I have prayed for myself sometimes and God gives me nothing. I have often thought that to mean be still.

I will keep praying though. I always find praying fasinating. God has answered me so much. Most recently was the tax debt which was over $2000 and I prayed and prayed and prayed how to find the money and then a letter came and said we only owe $100. I paid that today.

I look at everything as one step at a time. Prayers are answered on God's timing.

I keep thinking of someone posting on here that said God doesn't just drop money on your doorstep or something like that, but I am living proof that it can happen that way. I don't understand how or why, but it just does.

He doesn't always help me financially in every situation, but I feel it is in those times he is teaching me.

GG is right.

I have seen proof that God works and can do miracles.

Several years ago, a prominent man in the church community was in an accident in which every single bone in his body was broken. A few men from the church prayed over him. To the doctors amazement, this man had been healed and of course we know who did that!

God is real and He does hear us and is with us always.

GG: I think for me, you would probably get a be still message as well.

For some reason, I have some very optimistic feelings right now, this after praying for five days, a few times a day. Cannot explain it all either.

Now MWG did you fast recently? I thought I read on here that you fasted and some things came to you.

When you fast how does that work? I have heard many talk of fasting and prayer, but I have never done that.

Do you eat or drink anything?

[MidwesternGirl]

No, I haven't fasted but I have heard of others that have done it.

I eat very little as it is now but my prayer consists of when I wake up, mid-day, evening and/or just before i go to bed.

Forgot to add that I think with the fasting, a person could give up a meal or drink water all day, that sort of thing.

In the two churches, Catholic & Eastern Orthodox churches, they "fast" from meats and dairy products on Wednesdays and Fridays and of course on other holy days.

I guess that would be considered another form of fasting.

[glamgirl]

FG prayed for you again, once again silence, so maybe that's it you need to be still. Meaning don't worry about anything, don't freak out when h says things, don't R talk, don't argue with h, don't question his behaviour, don't be annoyed, don't be sad.

Do love unconditionally, do be kind, do show you still care, do be understanding, respectful, appreciative, and show admiration. This will all get you far.

So that's it FG. Think you can do it?

[MidwesternGirl]

I think she can do it!!
