Saturday/ Sunday briefs (updates?)

Hey everyone (... it's already Sunday in Australia)
I haven't been around an awful lot, but going through many blogs, I've noticed I'm not the only one...we've all got stuff on our plate... or is it that facebook is hijacking all the bloggers... damn them (JK)
so how is everyone...?

I've been going through a great deal with my marriage and I don't know what will transpire... I don't want to give details here, but i do ask for prayer. thnks

Sue said...

Me - well, instead of feeling suicidal or depressed, today I feel hopeful and cheered. Which is a nice change from the past couple of years :)

Feels like every time I die, I just get reborn again.

I have been organising all of my writing folders, throwing out a whole lot of stuff. They have never looked so good :) I am harbouring the gentle hope that I have now finally recovered enough from all of the crap of the past 10 years to actually start writing and submitting stuff for publication. It feels nice to be looking forward.

Hi Manuella, glad you wrote. I send my prayers for you and your marriage.

Hi Sue, good for you! Very inspiring.

Well, I'm beginning to live single. My husband is staying other places and looking for somewhere more perm. to stay. We're shuffling kids and trying to time life where we're not at home at the same time. Separation is definitely necessary for us both at this point. I have no idea what the next step will be. I just know that I want to stop feeling sad and emotionally a wreck. Maybe after some time of feeling separated I might can breathe again. Maybe... ?

Pray for strength for me.
Michelle

Thanks for the check in call Manuela.

All of you dear ladies are in my prayers today.

My husband and I are celebrating our 15th year anniversary next week. In a few passing conversations about it, we have both intimated that we feel kind of ho-hum and we both want more. I have hope for this but not sure how it will happen. Please pray for us.

I just read "Every Woman's Marriage" by Shannon Eldridge. It was really inspiring for me. I feel like I was reading my own words at times and it was pretty eye opening.

Been quiet of late because there's an awful lot on my plate. Major stress going on, and only just keeping my head above the proverbial water.

I have been reading this from time to time though. I may not post much, but you're all in my thoughts atill.

Michelle, just prayed for you. I can't imagine being in your shoes. I hope things work out for the best and that you find some peace in the midst of it all.

Thank you Barbara.
I had a complete panic attack this morning over all of this and called my husband to say I was two seconds from fleeing the county and that he'd have to be here to pick up the kids from school. He talked me down with a compromise that after his 24 hr shift today he'd be here the next two days for me to go away by myself. I feel guilty for leaving the children but.. I just feel like if I don't get somewhere else and FAST I'm going to do something stupid and drastic. Nobody call the cops on me.. I'm just venting here I guess. It was a horribly hard emotional morning for me. At least I'm calm knowing after tonight I'm off duty from everything for two days.

Manuela said...

Thanks Barbara and Ruth and all for the prayer support.... Everyone is in my prayers also.

Michelle! I am praying. I'm glad he's willing to work with you a little bit... love to you!

Michelle, I'm glad you have a safe place to come and "let it all out", hopefully that will eliminate some of your urge to do something crazy. Your in my thoughts and prayers.

Michelle - I'm soooo glad to hear you are getting away. What are you going to be doing? And don't feel guilty...if you don't take care of yourself, at least a little, you won't be much good to the kids.
