Thank you GirlWisdom
I am feeling better today, I've been working in the yard. I need to get in that garage and make it a dinning room by next Sat. for branding dinner. today is worm and brezzy. my heart is lighter, and my cold is better, I just came in for a drink, trying to flush this cold. A friend called, to ask if I had heard from my husband yet. "no" then we changed the subject, and visited, then I read your post. I am still down, but not as bad, and the cry was good for me in alot of ways. I know God is in Cortrol and if anything was wrong, the athorities will call me before it hits the news. I am anxious, my body is acting like I am, but I am making better choices. my hands are dirty, and my yard looks better. I will feel better, and better as my body gets used to the new me. untill then I will talk to it, and read your lovely prayers to it, untill it gets in line. thank you again

I have had anxiety attacks, agoraphobia, etc. for almost 40 years, and the main thing that has kept me going is my faith in God. I think that group prayer is a great idea. I pray all the time about my problems. As a Christian, sometimes I feel guilty because I get nervous and get anxiety attacks. I feel like I can't serve my Lord and Saviour when I feel so bad.

I have a high school reunion of my husbands on Saturday night, and could sure use prayer that I will be able to go and to have a good time, so that my husband does not have to worry about me wanting to skip out and go home. I don't do well in unfamiliar places, or with a group of strange people.

good to have you with us!

{"As a Christian, sometimes I feel guilty because I get nervous and get anxiety attacks. I feel like I can't serve my Lord and Saviour when I feel so bad.")

I believe just as Jesus came to earth to experience what it is like to be human, so He could help us to walk that valley, each day on earth. We must experience things so we can reach out to the hurting. When I was young I sold vitamins. I was taking them because of my problems affter I gave birth the first time. one of the products was weight loss, I couldn't sell that, because I only weighted 100lbs. and over weight people were not buying it from me "I had never used it. I didn't know what it was like" I would have no problem now! as I could use it, and if it worked I could sell it like hot cakes. if I lost the weight.
I guess I look at this like a cholege corse, once I get through it, I can teach others. That is the number one reason I got this course, I was so sure I could help my family, (after all they had a problem) if I could help my self, and I was right. but not as I had planned, now I realize my problems were affecting my family, and now that I no longer; expect to much from them, treat them, like I know best, and get all emotional when things don't go my way! Now we are all becomeing more normal. I didn't have to teach them the class, I just had to lighten up, and show them how to live calmly and confidently. (I am not all there yet but boy am I doning better).
I am so glad you have joined us, for here you can sew seed for your harvest in the lives of others. Sew seeds of compassion/reap compassion.

"unfamiliar places, or with a group of strange people."

I will pray for your reunion; I like to bace my prayers on the Word; I am strongt and of good courage, I do not fear nor am I afraid, for the Lord my God, He is the one who goes with me. He will not leave me nor forsake me. - Deuteronomy 31;6 NKJV
YOu, Lord, will bless me .......; as with a shild You will surround me with goodwill (pleasure and favor). - Psalm 5-12
God's grace (His favor and loveing-kindness and mercy) is enough for me [sufficient agains any danger and enables me to bear the trouble manfully], for God's strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [my] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a then over and dwell) upon me! - 2 Corinthians 12;9

I want to pray for you an angel, to help you feel comfortable, and Favor, to go before you and make straight your path.
and courage to look for God's Favor, and his Embesarry, and accept it as it comes to you. We must accept God's mercy, so we can give out mercy, to others. Look for your mercy, in the Favor God is spreading out for you even now, he is making your path smooth, that you shal not dash your foot, for He does Love you t h a t + m u c h, in the precious name of Jesus amen.

what a day, I still haven't heard a thing from my husband, but my head cold is better. my yard is looking good and the garage has a chance of becomeing a dinning room in the next day. I am feeling happyer with my self, I had a anxiety attack today, that nearly made me run, but I stood my ground, and I am feeling stronger than ever. I never even got to my score bord let alone making my list of wrongs. Life is good just liveing it, instead of designing every detail.

Every thing we Need; by Joyce Meyer
The Gift of God, the Spirit of grace, is the One Who brings every other good gift into our life. That is what the Holy Spirit is given to us for. God gives us the Holy Spirit - He gives us His inner strength and power - when we ask Him to fill us with His spirit. Through His Sprit God gives us everything that we need.
If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts (gifts that are to their advantage) to your children, how much more will your heavely Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him! - Luke 11;13 AMP

Today I was reminded I have it all, everything I need is right here. nothing more is needed, I shared with friends that came to help me. and they did what was needed to be done. I realy enjoyed the day. not a perfect day, I would never have recognized it as a good day a year ago. But it was a Good Day. from start to now.
..............................................
I just talked to my husband he is off the mountain, safe, but no elk. he will be starting the drive home tomarrow. 11 hours. It was so good to hear from him, Something feels diffrent, more satisfied. not anxious, I think it happend today. I am finaly at peace with his; not letting me know wear he is or what he is doing every day. I can let him go, if he dies out there on the prary, alone, I will not feel guilty another day. He is making his choices in his life. doing what he loves every day. I am not his protector, God is, and I am not holy gost jr. I can leave him in God's hads, This must be how the pionears, got through life without cell phones. "what will be, will be!" it is not! up to me.

Oh yes Dear Lord this was a very good day. in the name of Jesus I pray for you all a very good day! amen

Cornflower;Thank you.

your complement, is welcom, etiquite says to just say thank you, I am not good at doing that it doesn't seem like enough, especially for that particular complement, my religious roots would say "To God the the Glory", I have been pollishing the windows in my temple, so everyone can see, Jesus in me" that is my daily chore. It is gratifying to know it is working.

Improve with Patience by Joyce Meyer'
People imporove more rapicdly under patience than under pressure.
Knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. - James 1;3,4 NKJV
Wow that says it all for us this had got to be the best patience producing Test I have ever had. It is doing it too! I am so glad to read it OK to have anxiety, and produce the fruit of Patience. May we all Pass this test with ~A~+~ God Bless us with the wisdom to appreciate the Test, in Jesus name Amen

Cfe,
You are in my thoughts and prayers, all of you are. I dont know how long you been married, but ive been married 38yrs, and strange how Love changes as your marriage progresses through the years isnt it?
I can remember at first, it was just amazing how as a new wife i couldnt wait for myhusband to get home from work... and when i would hear the car drive up,, id get butterflies!!
Fast Foward 38yrs,, We have finally become ONE, he knows before i open my mouth what im going to say, and I finish his sentences, lol
We used to say, "I love you " everyday, even several times a day. Now, we still say it, but sometimes its with a hug or with a smile or through our eyes when they meet. I Love him with all my heart, and I know he does me, maybe we are at the point, that we just KNOW inside how much. It doesnt have to be said, or have certain things done to show it.
Its like you said,, your husband loves riding in the mountains, taking in the beauty and nature of Gods creation. Because you love him, you allow him to do that,,, shows how much you love him. And although you may think he may not love you as much, i would be willing to bet,, he does. Im glad hes home, theres no place like home. I guess what im trying to say is,, Im glad im at a point of contenment with my marriage, although its taken years to get here.
You will stay in my prayers, and beleive it or not, i read the group praying often. And pray for each one who comes here.. God Bless you,, Nelly:)

Thank you Nelly

I have been praying for you too it has been a long run, you were the 11th one to joing in.

We will be married 38 years next May.
Last night I was thinking how I hear peple say tehy don't get the butterflyes any more, I still do! and I would like it if I didn't so much, it always sparkes a hot flas now.
I don't know my husband as well as you do yours, that is the story book love I thought I wanted.

My husband has never talked to me much. He has played the guessing game all our marrage, about 8 years ago I told him, "you will have to tell me I am not guessing any longer, and finnally today I am realizing I trooly have stoped trying to guess what he is thinking, or doing or what he might want me to be doing. I always told our kids " living with him is like Liveing with God. You never know what he is doing, but it is always good for you". Now I am finnally relaxed in that knowledge. It was allways true, but I was always fighting it, trying to guess what he needed, or what he wanted. I would ask him and he would not tell me, I felt he would be angry, if I didn't get it right, but that was my baggage. and I would get anxiety trying to be my idea of a wife for him. Now I realize he want's me to be happy, he wants his house clean, his meals on time and he wont's me to be happy. That has helped me to be happy more than anything I have ever tryed. now I acctually can be me, live my life. love him with the butterflyes. and not feel guilty that I didn't guess right what he wanted. Now he is grown up and responsible for his own happyness too, he is talking and if he want's something he is asking. It has taken us 8 years to come out of that barn he grew up in, and it will re-appear now and then, but that anxiety is gone, this week It tryed to get started 2 times but I dismessed it emediatly using the tooles I have learned from Lucinda. I can waite for him to reach out, I just dissmissed the erge to go back in there to dreag him out again a few hours ago, that is his choice now! and that is so freeing for me.

I love him more than I did 37 years ago. and I can not immaginve ever loveing any one else. a big part of it at first was his PTSD, from Nam but the family life he grew up in was so cold, and his mother guessed he wanted or he took what she did perhaps, but I noticed she didn't always get it right and he didn't talk to here either. I wanted to get it right for him, and what I ended up doing was delaying his growth, by enabeling him to stay a trogladite. out here in the middle of his sand pile. now he is blooming and out growing that barn he grew up in. I was stuck in my anxiety, Thanks to this program, I am unstuck, and we are independently happy with each other for the first tiem. I am excited, it is a new season for us and it is feeling wonderfull

Kep Yourself Happy; by Joyce Meyer
"Anytime we expect someone else to keep us happy all the time, we are in for some disappointment".
Thou wilt show me the path of life; in thy presence is fulness of joy; at they right hand there are pleasures for evermore. - Psalm 16;11KJV

I want to thank all of you for your prayers, there are 93 of us now each praying for eachothers Highes Good, none of us know the answeres for eachother, but God does, and every day is always good for us with him in control. I pray we all allow God to show us our path of life, in the name of Jesus amen
