Hi dear Mandy
I remember in days past being so “court” in the bind, as yoked by Law to endure my Marriage vows, that of the average sucksessful, sincere, Christian….and help meet
…That soon the walls I faced were too high to see day light and happyness thru, “trapped by oaths forever”, in that thinking I must endure? Would I now be held responsible for the changing heart of another!
A glass of wine, helped me to survive
the (pain of the system) for the nervous stomach it was especially good medication before my husband came home with all his problems from his day in the office at work,
when he just pounded me with his pain…relentlessly… it was as if I was to blame. He did this every night…. Without a thought, and without understandinding!I am glad that being so small made it hard to consume much more than two glasses a night without feeling sick ….I feel kind of blessed and feel God prevented and held the limits’ tight thru those times. And the effect was that of being able to let the afflictions go without the deep hurts. Keeping good cheer
pray can't help me anymore than MY own good decerments made actons.
thank you for your friendship and care
Love charity
Wow Mandy,
I just read about your husband's struggle. I will join you and others in prayer for this. That is great that he has taken the first step in seeking help.
http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/home/This is a great ministry for all kinds of addictions both for those who have the addictions and for those that are affected by those addictions. I have had to visit this site due to some junk in my marriage and it helped me. Remember, your battle is not with flesh and blood but it is a spiritual battle. Satan really wants to mess with us and often goes through those that we are closest to. God is still in control.
Love,
KathiIrene,
I'm so sorry that you have to endure so much in the way of health. Thankfully, you are strong in spirit. I know that every post that you make is difficult with the arthritis in your fingers. I appreciate all your efforts. May God give you strength to get through all your weak moments.
Praying for you,
Love,
KathiQuote (Not3in1 @ June 14 2008,19:28) Thanks, 94. I think Dan wants to change. I see him struggling to even know where to begin. So all of your prayers are in high demand! I still do not trust him but I love him…
Love always hopes.
Love never fails.Here's hoping it doesn't fail!
Please Father, restore my husband to me. Breathe on him and wash him with your precious holy Spirit. Cleanse him and give him a new mind. A mind that wants to follow you. A mind that wants to love his wife. A mind that is not a slave to addiction. Help us, Father. For only you can ultimately provide healing and make all things new. I love you tonight, Lord. I trust you. I believe in you. I give you my future no matter what it holds. You hold me and with that I must rest. I ask all of this because of what your Son has done for me. Praise you, Father, for sending him. Amen.
Hi Mandy! Your strong faith in God and your love for your Husband will see you through. I have prayed for you and will continue doing so, until your Husband is better. Of course this will be a Lifetime struggle, being an Alcoholic will not go away, it is only controlled. Seeing others here praying for you and yours makes me hopeful for your Husband. We are Family the Family of God, when one hurts all hurts. When one wins all do. Please hang in there it is worth it. We love you and Bless you and may the love of God be with you.

Thank you for your prayer. Being with like minded people even if it over the computer has helped me a lot. I am so thankful for all of you. My Health Problems are so many, that sometimes I just want to through in the towel. What would I do without God, and for having God and His Son Jesus in my Life has made all the difference in the world. It will see me through to the end.
My Heelspures are my biggest concern right now, since I am surppose to have 2 more Cortisone Shots into my Heels. First getting the shots hurts like hell, and then the effect it has on my Glucose level is scarry. So I have no idea what I am going to do. I just put it into God's Hand's and see what will happen, let Him give me the answer.
Peace and Love IreneHi Irene,
I have had a few physical healings in my life. One came with repentence, and the other's by massive group prayer. I believe that God still heals today. I am currently trusting him for one more miracle. In his will and certainly in his timing…….
Be of good cheer. This body will not last and when it is finished running the race, we will receive the goal of our faith – salvation. We will be raised! Our new life in Yashua will be glorious and never ending. There will be no more pain, no more tears and no more death. We will be forever with the LORD and his Christ. Oh, what a time it will be……
No one can image what God has prepared for those of us who love Him.
Love you,

I am forever looking forward to the time when Jesus will return. Thank you for all.
Love IreneIrene,
How are those foot spurs coming along? Did you have the other set of shots?
Been thinking of you and praying for you…..
Hope Georg had a wonderful Father's Day.
Love,

I tried that for a while. I adopted the idea that if I couldn't beat'em, I'd join them.But I quickly learned that sorrows can swim (even in wine).
Only the precious arms of the Lord can soothe an abandoned soul…..
Romans 8:37, 39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither neight nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Mandy! We really had a bad Day. Our Granddaughter and Daughter were fighting. Since our Daughter is raising Her Kids by herself She is having a bad time with it. A Teenage Daughter is not easy to handle. But at least all of our Sons called except one, and His Brother called from Florida. Satan is trying really hard to get to us through our Kids.
So they too could stand some prayers.
How is your Husband doing?
Peace and Love IreneIrene,
I'm sorry to hear about the fighting. Especially on Georg's day. I'm glad you heard from your boys though. Too bad they all don't live by you. I've often wondered how I will take it if my kids move away?Dan is doing well. He still doesn't want to talk about “it” very much. But he has another counseling appointment this coming week. He finished an evaluation and now they will talk treatment. I'm really not too optimistic, to be honest. I've just decided to detach myself from him while still loving him. It's an Al-anon (the sister group of AA) teaching. The idea is, you don't let the alcoholic steal your joy or plans for a day if he is drinking. You love them, but go about your business unchanged by their situation. It's a lonely way to live sometimes.
Luckily I have quite a few girlfriends who are fantastic and support me through thick and thin. They also love Dan and want him to be well. So, I feel blessed to have a network of help and encouragment. Sometimes though it is difficult to help ease the private pain no matter how many friends you have.
I want my husband. I want to keep my vows. I know that sometimes through suffering comes blessing. Have you ever noticed that when you have tears in your eyes everything seems so much clearer? Or when you are at the point of breaking, the Lord seems nearer? Anyway, I'm rambling and I should head to bed. I have so many blessings in my life, including Dan. I just pray that he will receive a miracle of healing. Or that he will receive strength to endure his cross. Mostly I pray that he will return to his first love, and then to me. I miss him.
Thanks for asking sister,
MandyMandy! I am so sorry for all the pain and suffering that you have to go through, but you are right as far as the blessings that come along with the trials. I am glad that you have a support group of friends.
God will never put us through a trial that we can't handle. He will always find a way out. Over the years I too have to rely on God only. Pain is a daily occurrence, as you know having Arthritis yourself.
Smiling in spite of the pain becomes easier as time goes on. Singing is another tool to escape and be happy in spite of all.

O I just feel more relaxed with a glass of wine.
It’s not a curse but a blessing.
Not A NESSITY
just Another god given luxury.
After I got over the being a religous -holic?
filled with fear and anxiety,
clinging tight to believeing in the “sight” of evil?
Thats grief getting daily exercise by jumping to conclusionsBlessings Mandy
I know you have wisdom to Judge well
And mrs May you be blessed, try to enjoy every moment of your grand children.
take a deep breath and let it be a good medicine mixed with the Love of God.God Is good

I second all.
May the Love of God be always with you
Peace and Love IreneSince we have so many things going wrong in our Society, I have been thinking of Samuel so much. Why is God putting Him in my mind all the time lately. I wonder. Does He need help? At least we can pray for Him. So please would you pray with me. He did like the Ventrilo Server and it has been shut-off for days now. I have not seen Him post either.
Heavenly Father through your Son Jesus Christ we come before your Throne thanking you for all that you have ever bestowed upon us. With a heavy Heart we come before you and ask for our Brother in Christ Samuel. We have not heard from Him and the last time I spoke to Him they were going to turn of His electric, and He had no money to pay the Bill. Father please help him and keep him. You know what we need before we ask. We thank you in Jesus Name Amen.
IrenePlease pray for Lightenup's Son He is having Surgery today. It might already be over, but I would still put this up, they need prayers. That Knee-Surgery is no Picnic. It is very painful afterward too. So please join me in prayer for him and His Brother. Thank you.

Thank you for your concern, Lightenup's Son Surgery went well. I have talked to Lightenup and Her Son is doing great.
Welcome back too. It is so great, I have missed those couple of days the site was down.
Peace and Love Irene
