Cheri, I'm using my friends computer as I wanted to get away for a while. You are saying very much the same as she is. You are so right, Our God is positive and I must be too. My husband called this morning and said that other house that we had an offer on but backed on and then it got an offer and looked like it was sold is not available again. Figures, I was just starting to think the new home which looks like it's coming down some to our price range. The other part of Hebrews 11 is that this earth is not our home. We're aliens here so God will reveal the home and once we make a decision that should be it unless God changes the circumstances. Thanks again for your prayers.

A Time of Preperation, by Joyce Meyer]
When God places a call on your life, it may come gradually or suddenly or in may be something you have somehow always known, but from the time you are called, you are in preparation. Even Jesus had years of preparation.
Remind people to be submissive to [thier] magistrates and authorities, to be obedient, to be prepared and willing to do any upright and honorable work. - Titus 3;1 AMP

When I am having a problem decideing what I should do, I always feel glad I am a woman, and my husband is the one that has the last word in my decissions. I know that is not PC in this day but I like it God says he is my leader, my provider, I find he is my rock, he keeps me on the ground wihen I feel like flying away, my husband is there to keep me from doing dume things, and getting in to trouble. I am glad he has that responsibility in the eyes of God. because I don't like to make decissions. that is one of God's rule I realy like. If he is wrong and we go the wrong way, well I can point to him and God for leading me astray. it is easier for me. and they call us the weaker sex, I for one like it fine. I don't have any problem being on that pedistal,

my husband is getting better and better at taking care of me. and I am greatfull for the position I was born in. It helps me to be able to enjoy life more. Today I made dinner for six by 10;am so I could be shoot side, and tally the pelvic measurments, and when we had finnished I cam home for a nap and my husband stayed out there and put the cattle wear they are to go, and worked untill 6;pm and came home to a hot supper. I haven't been feeling well. I don't know what it is all about, but I can tell you in this past 3 years I have been ill. God as given me the best marriage I have ever had, my husband is attentive, and intrested in my wellfair for the first time in 38 years I have the marriage I wanted. Was my illness used by God as prepperation, to help my husband take his position in our marriage as the head and not the missing any more. I can't really say, but it sure has been worth it all to have the man I have always loved, start thinking about me, and caring for me. Not to the point I don't want to be well because of all the attention, but now I can't waite to be well, so we can enjoy life even more abundently. and I pray you all are enjoying your lives, on your way to the life you are praying for. We have not because we ask not! But when you ask be prepared to waite on the Lord to bring it to pass for you, and don't get upset if you don't recognize a good day, or a good preparation, for your breakthrough. Amen

Be Led with Peace, by Joyce Meyer; don't do anything you don't have peace about. Let peace be the umpire that decides if a thing should be in your life or not. And let the peace (act as umpre continually) in your hearts [deciding and sttling with finality all questions that arise. In your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always] - Colossians 3;15 AMP

To day I have been at peace and it is all working for me. Yesterday I was thinking I need to go the Dr. but I just knew he would put me through expensive tests, and our insurance only picks up after the first $10T. I son't trust them any way. in the morning I realized I probably need an antibiotic, I bet there is some infection that is why my hot flashes are so bad, I truly melt in to the bed with them. I had to change my night gouwn and wrig in out that night. I was thinking I shold use probiotics, but I was out. Then I rememberd a fresh clove of garlic is just as good as an shot of antibiotics. So I made a blue berry smoothey and put in a clove of Garlic, and I felt so much better, and today I did it again, and I am ready to tackle tomarrow. I feel 100% better than I did on Friday. This is a good day, and God is my guide. The peace that passes all understanding is mine. Thank you Jesus, and may all of you hear the words of the Lord and alow him to guide you, when you pray don't do all the talking God has the answers listen to that still small voice inside of you with peace step out of the boat and take his hand. Awmen

Cheri, I SO...hope you're feeling much better. You have all these remedies. God inspires you. My husband had an MRI done on his head and eye that's been giving him problems for the past several months. He'll find out more the end of the week. I'm so glad you said what you did about God working thru our husbands. We've now made a decision on this new home. I struggled about it and even as we were making decisions on carpet,siding,etc. yesterday I didn't feel peace because the builder said the wrong date by mistake. He said August! I totally panicked and said we needed to go for a drive. The builder is a Christian and so is the man that works for him. We've known him a long time. My honey and I went for a drive, prayed and went back. We looked at the model again and even tho they gave us a date of July l0 I'm praying it can be done by or before our closing of this home June 29. If I thought I needed the faith to believe for an existing home then God wants me to have faith this will all work out. Something came up about an existing vacant home last night but it would be more money than this new home. It is bigger and has lots of perks but as we prayed late last night and woke up this morning we BOTH agreed the new home is the answer. I just had the FEAR about a new home. Fear is not from God. I DO need to listen to my husband and whenever he's wrong, God will correct him. Thanks so much everyone for your prayers and thank you Cheri for the helpful insights you share. This will be a busy week cuz I'm working a lot. I do have off tomorrow but the relief of a modular home is being built in a factory I don't need to chase to the site every day to check up on everything. I think it will be a relief and hopefully I'll be able to be on here once again. It feels good! Love ya all. I'm hoping to get back on the Bible study too.

Oh, I did want to say that I've been aching so bad the past several days. I guess I have arthritis but fortunately it's mainly during rainy or humid or snowy weather. I tried some stuff from Maleluca. Anyone know much about it. It hasn't helped yet and the gal said to take even 8 a day. I think the generic Tylenol PM or arthritis relief is just as well. Do you think that's OK to take? I'd rather take that as needed that get a prescription drug I'd need to take daily. What kind of exercises are good for arthritis? I tried to join a message board for arthritis to ask these ques. but it wouldn't go thru. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have been using DrFrank's Joint and Muscle Pain Relief for the past 3 months, It is all natural, and it is a spray under the toung (sublinguily) admistered, so it is pretty fast, relieff, I took it 4 times a day the first cupple of months, and now I take it 3 times a day,

unless it is raining then I need it 4 times again, Thank God is raining every week, the hills are getting green Praise the Lord!!!

I find it helps as much as Asprin and Tilanol, with no side affects, those are really hard on your kidneys and liver. also I find they are constepating witch compounds the pain.

So glad to hear you are more Peacefull about your houseing

If you are doing the best that you know how to do, that's all God expects from you. by Joyce Myer And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strengh is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefor will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. -2 Corinthians 12;9 KJV

Dear God In the name of Jesus, I pray for everyone on this Forum to know it is OK to bring themselves before the Lord just as they are, doing a;; we know how to do, and learning from You just what we need to be doing. What I have done may help someone, but it may not help another, we are so diffrent from each other, You have taken the time to patten our finger prints, there is only one! of us, but we are all living in this same world with these same problems Jesus found when He came to live here, Help each of us to realize what we are going though you have sufferd through too, and You know the answers for us, and You are working to give us the wisdom, the favor, and Your grace to get through it all, so we can be fitted in to Your image so we can go Home with You when our work is all done here. Thank you God for you Book for us to study, and learn all about your ways through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen

I think this is a wonderful idea, and please let me be a part and tell me the time and I will certainly be a part.

The verse I live by is
I am tackling any challenge through Christ who empowers me. Phillippians 4:13

I would like to request prayers from you to overcome an obsessive scarey thought. It would mean much to me. God Bless

I would love to, I know what you are going through and with God all things are possible.

Father God,

I lift up GrandpopaJohn to you. Your son needs to know your arms are wrapped around him tightly and that you care about him. Please give him the strength to let go of the scary thoughts and place them in Your hands. Please give him courage and the peace that passes all understanding. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

I love how everyone thinks the same in here!! I am very interested in doing this as well - please keep me posted!! May God bless you all.

Welcome one and all, It is great to have you all praying with us. I will add you to my prayer list, I have lost track, but I do know there are more than 60 of us all praying for one another every evening at 8pm M.D.T. or just when ever they think to.

It is an honor to pray for GrandapaJohn, God knowes the problem, and He certainly knows the answer. for his Highest good Amen

We are studing obsessive scarey thoughts in our book study "The Battlefield of the mind" now, you may wish to join us there. Chapter 6 has been bring out God's plan for us and His hopes in us.

I think it is so awesome how we pray and care for each other too. Not just prayers but helpful advice too. Cheri I'm not sure about doing the 4X a day bi-lingual. I've tried so many natural things but thanks for telling me the aspirin/tylenol will cause liver/kidney prob.because what is our health worth in the long run.
I think it's neat when people like Heatherbythesea is praying for PappaJohn and she or others have many problems of their own.Hopeful and others I'm so very glad you've joined us. PoppaJohn I hope you are doing better. Now I wish to pray for Heather. Please join me cuz I know she's struggling right now.

Father God, thank you so much for Heather's caring heart. You see her heartache and I ask that all of us can give her a grp.hug across the miles. How we all would love to meet one another, hold each other and cry or laugh together. Father you have bonded us thru this site and I thank you. Please speak peace to Heather. Help her with her husband and family. Let her realize she is a good mom. Help her with this program and realize it does work. Help each of us to continue working the program even after we've finished. Bless each of us this day with an abundance of your grace. May we all sing praises throughout our day no matter what comes our way. In Jesus name. Amen.

I was just on the phone to my Mom she is 78, and lives 1,000 miles from my front door. I want to hug her every day, it has been getting continuly worse over the years, after my father died, then her sister died, I just hate to have her so far from me with no one out there to hug her. God sent both of my kids to her last Aug. they are out there, with her, now I am so more at ease knowing any tiime she needs family they are there for her. My Duaghter lives with her, and huges her every day.

God is so good and faithfull! now that my husband and I are getting along so well, I hate to leave him for any long period, my armes ache for him, by evening, but air fair out there is $300. I can't spend that on just a cuple days. I have so much hated to make that trip, some times 3 ties a year, but I felt I had to. Now I am relieved from that chore. It was a gowing pain, not to go out for her birthday last week I have done it for the past 15 years, but this year I just could not bring my self to leave my husband during calveing to go out there for my 10 day trip like I used to. I checked for a good air fair every day through Feb. and March. I just could not drop the thought, I should be there for her. Then last week I finaly felt the Peace of God, I don't have too, my kids are there to help Mom with her spring cleaning. and celebrate her birthday. How wonderfull! haveing them move out there was an answer to my prayer, yet it took me 7 months, to accept the awsome belssing of it.

"Trust is not inherited; it is learned! We learn to trust God by going through various experiences that require trust. By seeing His faithfulness over and over, we let go of trusting ourselves, and gradually we enter His rest and place our trust in Him. by Joyce Meyer
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on you own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil, This will bring health to your body and nurishment to your bones - Proverbs 3;5-8 NIV

"Trust and Obey for their is no other way, to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey" I love that song, it remindes me that Jesus doesn't judge me, he weeps over some of my choices, and rejoyses over some of my choices. When my kids first decided to move so far away I thought, my daughter and I had been estranged for so many years but now we have taken up as if none of that had ever happened, we had gone through this course tothere Thank you Lucinda!, and my son had already been in OK for 5 years, and just got married, and was moveing on in his life. I am still here and my family has all moved away.

Then I realized how important my relationship with my husband was and how much God wanted it to grow, this course has so helped me with that. Our kids are out there now, and so my husband will have a reason to go out there with me I can waite for that to happen, now, Mom has loveing people around her now, too. It is all good! but last Aug. when I helped my daughter drive out there, and I left with all of them in Mom's 20X60 traylor, I did not really recognize that as a good day.

Looking back at the last year, today, I can see God's hand working it all out, for my good. I feel so charished to day. God really went out of His way to make my life eaiser. I am so greatfull!!! This year I feeal I am learning to recognize every day as a good day, no matter what it looks like to me in God's plan it is a good day! and I will rejoice and be glad in it. I am so enjoying just teaching my face to smile, all the time. I do not want to be old and frowning all the time just out of habit, I want that habit to be smilling all the time.

I pray for all of you, to recoganize each day as a good day Trusting that God is working in it for your Higest Good. "This will bring health to your body and nurishment to your bones." Amen
