and we got one through pm....

A friend of mine on Lit is in pain and needs some prayers. She wanted to stay anonymous, so I'll post for her.

Just in case we missed it.

Thanks for the bump AD

I have been working in a dead end low pay no reward slime hole for the past ten months just to pay a little on the bills. Although Ive had some really good opportunities that just didn't work out for one reason or another, Today I spoke with someone that said he would alomst call this a home run.

If i could get just a couple of friends to think one nice thought thru the weekend or on Monday - Id truly appreciate it.

I dont like asking for something for myself - but im dying here. Thanks

Prayers for your friend Dragon....that her pains can be alleviated.

Absolutely friend...praying that a good job opportunity comes through.

My apologies AD. S1 got me riled.

My thoughts out to the friend. Mental emotional and physical pain are things we all endure. but it always help to know there are those who care. Prayers first thing in the morning. Heck, prayers b4 sleep.

Dear Anon Litster,

I am sorry for your pain and my prayers for you are for comfort and strength, eventually joy.

Do know, that you have tremendous worth, you are more than your present circumstances and that this too shall pass. I promise.

Yes, she comes home tomorrow. Hubby is with her overnight again. I am usually the one that stays but I am running on empty lately and he is stepping up to the plate for a change...of course he goes to Tampa for two weeks on Monday though.

Anyways, we all watched the Potters 1 and 2, tonight, 3, 4 and 5 tomorrow and 6 and 7.1 on Sunday while she is re-cooperating. She sees her surgeon on Tuesday for the game plan we are coming up with and hopefully we can go see Potter 7.2 after that.

Thanks AG, I need all the help I can get.

Prayers that my family will get home safe from a vacation abraod, and that a sibling won't do anything to me in the meantime.

I realize that other lit-sters have greater issues than mine; however, I believe I am in need of support in the form of prayer, etc.

For several months my life slipped to shambles - physical, mental health. I told no one and became a shell of myself. Near the end of that phase, my g/f of 4 yrs dumped me.

I respectfully ask for your support in prayer for my well-being, and guidance/direction to proceed.

I thank you all for reading this and for any prayers.

Prayers for all who need it are headed your way....

And for Serene, my daughter was born with bacterial meningitis and she came very close to dying. There are no words to describe how hard it is as a parent to see your baby suffering, no matter what age they are. My thoughts are with you, your daughter, and your family as you go through this. My prayers are also with you, of course. {{hugs}}

I've made a difficult decision last night to file for divorce from my husband. I can no longer tolerate his abusive behavior and I'm asking for prayers that I may have the strength to go through with it. Also, I need prayers that my daughter will make it through the other side as unscathed as possible. It's been a long time coming. Thank you to all!

Thank you, hll I am so glad your daughter overcame her illness. What a harrowing time for you both. HUGS. My daughter has VACTERLS Association, it is an acronym for multiple birth defects. She has the V-missing and fused ribs and vertebrae, A-imperforate anus with fistula (repaired by surgery)C-ASD 11mm hole in heart, repaired by Amplatzer, R-one functioning kidney, polycystic kidneys. She also had a tethered spinal cord, repaired by surgery, a feeding tube and is still in pull-ups at 7. When she was born they said she would never walk and be mentally challenged as well. Luckily (although we would love her just as much if not) she walks and is very smart. She had hypoparathyriodism and RAD but they both resolved themselves. My other daughter, her identical twin, had VACTERLS also. She died. I get a little "basket-casey" when my surviving daughter goes through anything, we have almost lost her a couple of times...not to mention, holding your dead child's still warm body as they grow cold is not something I would wish on anyone.


I am sorry to hear of your marriage not working out. I know what a hard decision it had to be and the difficult process that you all will go through to finalize the divorce. However, it sounds like something that must be done. Think of it as having an infected wound, you must go deep to get out of all the poison and that is usually painful and difficult. However, once the poison is fully extracted, the healing can begin. If you only scratch the surface and do not get to the root, well...you will never get away from the pain and despair, you just keep reopening that wound and the poison goes deeper. Remember to take good care of yourself and your daughter and keep your eyes focused on the end result. You can do this and you will be stronger and better for it.

Matt,

I am very sorry to hear of the turn your life has taken recently, esp that you feel like you are a shell of your former self. A big, big HUG to you. I am also sorry to hear of the loss of your girlfriend after what has been a traumatic time for you. I would say that now might be the time to begin building a strong foundation and slowly start the healing process to a better you. The good thing about rock bottom is that the only way to go is up.

Prayers gladly!

I have just read these posts and realise that I have been praying selfishly for myself. I do pray for others, but as the people of Lit know, I have been trying to start a family of my own and that has been my main focus for the past year. You ladies have just shown me what being a mother is really about and I thank you for that.

I join the community of people here in offering prayerful support for both of you and your families.

My friend, I'm with you on this. I had to walk away from a 13-year relationship and put my fondest dreams at risk in order to redefine the things that would tolerate in my life. Everyone has said that I have done a brave thing. I have not felt brave at all, but I was chatting with a friend just now and remembered something that I had read some years ago. We have to die to our present lives in order to be reborn to new ones. Take comfort and courage from this thought.

There are far too many good people here.....just on this page alone that I know (to some degree or another (Aurantica,Cinner, highlandlassie, serene fieldmiester) and to those I know only after glancing in here....hell life sucks at times...but you must remember the good times...and I pray that strength you have within you, yet may not realize it, boldened by the words of folks you barely/don't know at all, plus the support of other loved ones, can be enough to help you out.

I wish the best for you all.

Thank you Ken!

I was chatting with another Litster last night and he wanted me to spare him a thought in respect of finding a stable job. Who would have thought that a software engineer would be worried about employment? I want to pray that every one of us who is here on Lit at all will find, have and hold on to gainful employment during these years of economic reversal.

You're more then welcome, Cinner.

Funny that....but times are tough as they say. Plus all those foreign folks are taking the jobs! I'm kidding, seriously. Besides in most cases, they're just taking jobs that no one else wants and getting paid shit for it. But alas, I'm not intending to turn this into a political debate. Just a poor attempt at humor.

And I am certain that you are going to make a wonderful mom someday.

Oh Cinner, you are not being selfish at all. Starting a family is one of the most wonderful things in the world. I gladly add you to my prayers.
