I, too, will be praying for us as we tackle this condition together! I love that we are praying together even though we don't know each other. I'll bet God is smiling down on us!

cfe: I have found that as I get older many things are more overwhelming. When people come to see me they get clean sheets, a clean bathroom, and lots of hugs. I don't even cook like I used to. But I feel time spent is what we all love the most about being with family. They won't remember the condition of your house (if they do, they're too picky!) but they will notice if you're too wiped out to enjoy their company. Take it easy. Leave the mess. Love the people.

Thank you so much Mello for speaking to cfe and me too. Cfe...I relate so much with you and my husband has wondered where the wife he married is. We think we should be able to do more or keep up when our kids have left the nest. I know I'm not the same. I didn't realize how much anxiety I really had..notice I said had cuz I don't want to give in to this demon. I could write more concerning the similarities between cfe and my feelings of failure but I choose to turn that negative talk around like Mello said. I choose to believe things will change as we pray for each other.

Beyond..Thank you for telling us the times to pray. 9pm is good for me. We are praying together. United we stand, divided we fall. We will lift each other up. Yes,maybe reading thru the diff. forums and seeing people's needs will tell us how to pray instead of like I put a prayer req. Sometimes we could PM someone who may need encouragement. God lead us in the right ways to pray for each other. Thank you to all and God bless each and every one.

Mello, Have a wonderful trip.

Thank you Mello, carol, & Barb. I think I have passed denial, in my morning that witch is no more, and I have made today a better day.
God brought a salesmen that got things started in killing the mold under the house, I needed direction, and here he was, at the craft show last Sat. he said he would come up but I have heard that before. this time he did. I don't think I will be sleeping in my bed tonight, as just making the bed tonight has started up the alergy symptoms again. but I know how to clean it out of that room now. So I am not stressing. I will sleep in the one clean bedroom I have gotten done this week.

you are write loving the pople and having a good meal is more importan than as clean as I would like it to be. I fixed our roast beef, green beans from the garden, dill potatoes, & pecan pie, today and the sales man was very content, then he went in the crawl space and set up the mold killing machine. also trying an ionic water machine hooked to my wash machine. for that rash my husbands brought home from Nam, it will need no sope at all. So far I am not impressed but I told him I would try it and I am. He is coming back next week to see if his stuff worked. I pray it will. this has been a long fight with a short stick as my gradpa used to say. but I have learned so much about mold, nutrition, acupunctur, & and these ionic cleaning machines. like usual I can see God clearly in the rear view mirror. Thanks for your prayers and God Bless you and yours

The poll has been up for a few days now. The 10PM (EST); 9PM (CST); 8PM (MST); 7PM (PST) time frame received the most votes. I know this may not work for everybody, but we should at least try to target this time. I feel that the more people praying at the same time, the greater the effect. If you cant pray at that time, then praying at other times should be fine too. I will start praying today

I will pray at 10PM EST. I like the idea of praying at the same time. Thanks.

What a wonderful idea and something I definately want to be a part of.

What a blessing this forum, has been for me already. I am moving ahead things are happening in my house, to remediate the mold, I am getting out of it more and feeling better. My husband is taking an active part now. God is so good, now my biggest problem is getting motivated rather than waking up. I am so glad to have found this web. I praise God for Lucinda, and her dream to help all of us. God Bless her, and God Bless all of you for your prayers, I am going to my holistic Dr. for the season change acupunctuer today, and I am feeling so well. Thank you all. so much
God Bless you and yours

I did it again, any way I wanted to say you are in my prayers, too!!! infact now I am on the this sight so much when I should be getting bedrooms ready,

carol you are so right, I went to a Legion meeting yesterday, instead of cleaning, I feel much better, loving others. than cleaning house, but I will get it done, now I am not so overwelmed with it anymore. Thank you all

HI,

How is everyone doing with this new program? I am in the second tape, and am getting so much out of it. I'm already feeling better. It's hard not to jump ahead!! I thank you all for your prayers, and continue to send mine up for each of you. Has anyone else signed up for the coaching program? I signed up for the group coaching. I had my cable TV turned off for three months, and quit putting money in the savings for the next three months. Tha's just about enough to make the payments in five easy sessions! I spoke with my therapist, ans she is very excited about this program and is going to look into it for other patients. She strongly encouraged me to using the caoching program (hard to cut loose with that much loot!) Well, lunch is over time to get vback to the office.
love and prayers at seven,

I'm in Florida and I would like to join the prayer group. I dont get home till 10pm sometimes from work I can pray 1100pm-1130pm every night let me know why don't we all agree to just pray for each other at a specific time and then talk on here about maybe something God spoke to us about you guys let me know.

yes Caro, I have a coach,

I was so boged down I was taking a month for each lesson, after 4 months, they called and asked if I would like to try it with a coach, just the night before praise God! My husband had said to me I never know who I am talking to. you change all the time. If he hadn't said that I would have never spent the money for it. I am so glad I did it made all the diffrence for me I think I would still be on lesson 4 if I han't. Now I have done all the tapes, and have just went through my first growing pains,

I am not wear I want to be, but Thank God I am not wear I used to be, I'm OK and I'm on my way, by Joyce Meher

I am really believaing I can get over this, and be the person God made me to be.
God Bless us all!!!

I try to watch Joyce Meyer everyday before work and yes I remember when she said that, that you quoted above. Amen! We may not be where we want to be but Thank God we aren't where we used to be!!!

I like Joyce Meyer too. I don't catch her on TV but am a partner and get a CD every month. I love it. Each month is exactly what I need. Do you know you can be a partner for as little as $3-5. One of her sayings I also like is "Don't mix up your who with your do". Thanks to this program I'm on day 2 working at a bakery. I sell bakery and get to talk to people. I love it except my feet are killing me! (Soaking them right now). I never would have gotten this job if it wasn't for the program. I thank God every day for it and for all of you. Anyone who says it doesn't work hasn't given it a chance. I'm leaving now for a class at a different church on Healing. First night. In Oct. there will be a team coming for 3 days to do a school. The last day we will go on the streets and pray for people's healings, salvations,etc. I'm so excited because even tho I still get nervous I remember my breathing and to change my self talk. I had sugar the other day (of course what else would I expect at a bakery??) Anyhow, too much. It really affects me in a terrible way. So I probably should keep listening to tape 5. I need discipline. Please pray I can be more disciplined in everything.

Good Morning, Keep up the good fight cfe. VictoriousD I pray throughout the day. I try to remember my specific time, but don't always. I think it's fun to try to pray at once, and still know that God hears each, and time doesn't matter to him. Barb G. I know what you mean about the sugar. Since I quit drinking wine (went from 2-3 glasses a night to 3-4 to what the hell finish the bottle and then after joing the program weaned myself off coffee ( I like it STRONG) and have quit eating sugar ( it's my granddaughters 6th birthday today and I'm sure I'll have some birthday cake. One thing my brother once said that helped me was, No bite is better than the first bite. He's the only thin one inthe family, and I try to remember that when I want not just one piece, but a big one!! It is so fun to be out working, I work in a dental office. I'll bet the stress level at the bakery is considerably less than my job! That sounds like it would be fun. I try to do things in moderation, unless I'm finding that they are contributing to this anxiety problem that I am trying to lick. Then I'm treating those things like poison to me, and God is giving me the strength to leave them alone. I am so thankful for his watchfulness and care. MelloNello how was the trip? I drive by myself from up by Eureka, CA to Santa Barbara Ca to visit my mom. It's about a 12-14 hourdrive for me. through San Francisco traffic. Makes me nervous and anxious every time. I'm thinking that this program will help make my future trips easier.
I just took a minute to write down the names of all of us prayaing together. I don't know if there are more that just haven't signed in to chat, but there are fourteen of us on the three pages. That's such a great thing. I am very encouraged just knowing that each of you is out there working through this with me. I have gone back to Al Anon, got strated back to Bible Study, went to a movei (the Prarie Home Companion) with my friend from work. Went to a concert at a church in town The Blackwood Legacy. Good music. Just being able to go out again, and be around people some is such a good feeling. I have been so shut off for so long. (chalked it up to "simplifying my life" and work is so stressful I just need to get away from people ;by the end of the day.) Hence the dive into the wine bottle. Hard to fill my evenings the first week I quit drinking. It was a very pleasant way to spend the evenings. BUT this program has kept me busiet than a three legged bird dog. and I'm feeling so hopeful about the future, and most importantly am learning to live in the moment.
Have a great day!

Living in the perfect present moment. I love that, it really helped me through the program. We have so many past hurts, and dwelling on them only hurts us all over again. We need a little Holly amnesia, Forgive them for they know not what they do.

Barb G I have found soking me feet in epson salt, and baking soda, is good, better yet with apple cider viniger added. and my favourite is Musada, it is expensive so I ususaly put in a 1/4 cup of Musada, and then add more salt and baking soda. it really takes out the pain, fast. Also I have found that the magnetic, insoles are good I use Nikken, witch are again expensive, but I have had mine for 8 yeras. My mom and my daughter have had very sore feet for years. and they got Foot Levelers with magnets in them already, from my holistic Dr. this summer and now they can out last me. the Foot Levelers were expensive, my daughter got inserts, and my mom got sandles, on account of her feet hurt so bad, she can't stand shooes at all. Also they are doing the streteches, my holistic Dr. gave us. They really help me too. Mom is amazed because she has been wearing Burkenstock for years and these are so much better! I have the Good Feet inserts, and they are good, but I would highly recomend the Foot Levelers over the Good Feet, incerts.

I am prasing God for your job, Hallaluya! God is good, and Bless you in your new heeling class, God is filling your cup so you can serve Him from your abundence. That sounds like so much fun!

All my prayers, I love this Forum. God Bless us all.

I had another growing pain today, and I cried, I don't do that my Dad was a Marine and My husband is a Marine. I learned Theraputic Toutch from a phic nurse, years ago, she told me I needed to cry every day for an hour for the next 30 years, to get rid of all the traped tears I had sucked up over the my life. So I am alowed to cry now, and I still have a problem with it. Today, I cried in front of my husband so I had to tell him why. That was good, I has a hot flash, but I told him I was taking things to seriously, in my life and it was giving me this anxiety. He seem to have taken it well, He dosn't take me seriously, enough, on the other hadn he dosn't have axiety, so he is probably doing well!. I am praying for all of you,
Here is to all of you:
I am overcome with joy because of God's unfailing love, for He has seen my troubles, and He cares about the anguish of my soul. Psalm 31:7
God Bless your mess
