Know you are in my prayers tdj7000;
bad days are hard but sweep away the day for your joy comes in the mornning,

I am strong, courageous, and firm,; I fear not and am not in terror, for it is the Lord my God Who goes with me; He will not fail me or forsake me. Deuteronomy 31;6

Carol seveiven, and Doninva; thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers, last week went so well, and I know your prayers were my foundation. yes/mishmash" knowing that God has a plan" is the way to believe, we can make it through whatever we have to overcome.

The list of prayer warriors is growing, that is so wonderfull. I still have 2 guests, here with me and they were so much help, a real God send, for me. they leave on wen. then our red neck vacation to the Society For Range Management, State Convention, for the lst 3 days of the week, I am realy looking forward to it. Thanks to all of you backing me up with your love through Christ, who strengthens me.
God Bless you and yours

I know that it makes you frighting that your husband is going through these difficulties. He will be all right. Let him know that he is having anxiety. Tell him to breathe through it. In 2 through the nose and our 4 through the mouth while counting the ins and outs he will refocus his thoughts. I know this because I help people everyday get through it. Use the 6 steps. It always works. The pain he is feeling is because of his anxiety. He is trying to deal with his thoughts and the past. He will be fine. Tell him to write done all his negative feelings for the next several weeks. All the things that made him anger, hurt or what he feels he may have done. When he is done have him destroy this journal and tell him it is time to live in the present and not the past as most of us do. Jesus holds our hand, God holds us in his arms. Bless both of you.

I am haveing a conflict with my husband tonight, after a week of company, I am tired, but he haveing been working nearly every day, has no such problem. This affternoon, our conversation got nit pickey, and he got mad and as usual I don't understnad why. I have always concidered his hearing the problem, but it is his problem, and I come awy feeling less than his equal in any way. I confronted him and told him "When you.... I feel..... because...." and so far nothing, he still isn't talking at all. I am going in the hot tub and taking a book to bed, I am trying hard not to let this belittle me any more.

I think things like this come along to further, our relationship, and allways before I have shrunk from, even trying to comunicate with him, as it is so painfull, to be treated with such disrespect of my personhood. I can't let that happen any more. If I am living here I must be respected, as a human at least and as his partner at best.

So still haveing growing pains, over comunicating with my husband. Thank you for your prayers, and God Bless you and yours.

Hi to each of you on Page 6 Barb G. I will pray that your husband will see how much this program can help him. I had a Rotweiller who had to have special training to fit in to normal life. He had been tied to a tree for the first 10 months of his life. Not mistreated, but not incorporated into the pack. I had an old lab named Mary and one day after we'd been at the training for about a month, I put the leash on her, and she went through all the commands as though she had been the one in training. Sometimes men have a difficult time, because they feel less "manly" if they admit to any type of weakness. I heard somewhere that Jesus' "meekness" was Controlled Strength. Work your program, and it will help your husband via him seeing what's going on in your life. I am so amazed at the change in the whole staff where I work since my anxiety level has gone down and since I have stopped using negative talk to myself and others. and replaced it with positive talk. Trust your husband into the Lord's care. He will bring him to the place he needs to be for healing. This program has been such a Godsend for me. It has changed my life.
Tina, the bad days give us a chance to work our new "muscles"!! I was having anxiety attacks while listening to the relaxation tape. I kept at it through the attack, and came out the other end feeling refreshed and relaxed even having been in the midst of an attack as I was practicing relaxing. the mind is a powerful thing. you will get through the bad days. They make the bright days seem all the sweeter!
cfe: what is your first name? or are you too shy? Your relationship sounds like my best friend's at work with her husband. She is learning and growing and finding that it is okay to express herself and not be made to feel less than okay. Knowing we are okay inside helps us to not be quite so thrown by what others may think of us at any given moment. Compassionate self talk. Loving ourselves that's inmportant. Remembering we are PRECIOUS in God's sight.
I wrote this earlier on but will write it again. It means so much to me:
"
Zephania 3:17,18 TLB "Cheer up, don't be afraid, for the Lord you God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will give you victory. He will rejoice over you in great gladness; He will love you and not accuse you." Is that a joyous choir I hear? No, it is the Lord himself exulting over you in happy song...
I love that.
God bless each of us today. Still praying for our group. Also, would you please pray for someone named jay on the forum about medications? Under the disclaimer, he has a very nasty e mail. It may be detrimental to the help of some who are new and weak in the program. He sure could use the Lord, couldn't he? Let's pray for jay!! Dear God reach down and crash into the middle of his rebellion and deliver him out of his depression.
Talk to you next week end.
love,
Carol

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the program. I am on my second week but I am still on my first lesson. I was wondering if it is too late for me to join your group? It sounds great.
Thanks,
Trudy

cfe: what is your first name? or are you too shy?

Carol
thank you for quoting Zephania 3:17-18 you can't quote enough Light in this world of darkness.
You are so right shy that is my name! allways has been. I have been an introvert pretending to be an extrovert, for a life time and I am exhosted!
quote ( Work your program, and it will help your husband via him seeing what's going on in your life. I am so amazed at the change in the whole staff where I work since my anxiety level has gone down and since I have stopped using negative talk to myself and others. and replaced it with positive talk. Trust your husband into the Lord's care. He will bring him to the place he needs to be for healing. This program has been such a Godsend for me. It has changed my life.) Thank you for your testimoney too. Joyce Meyer says "to many of us, after a test just have the moneys. We need more testimoney" that is one of the things I like about this sight.

Quote ( the redneck convention ) with the Society for Range Management, went OK Thank you Doninva! for your prayers. I stood beside my husband, and told everyong I was fine. very exhosting, I wanted to retreat to my cave, but I drank wine, hot chocolate as I was very cold, and ate bread, dairy, and other things I have been avoiding for months just to stay warm and awake, so now I am bloated and sick again.

I shood up for myself, and it was worth the risk, and my husband is trying to talk to me, and treat me with respect. I won!
tonight my feelings are wanting to have a pitty party, but I am refusing to attend, getting on here and reading my support group coments has cheered my heart. I need to go to bed it is middnight, and I should be in there with my husband appreciating him, not sitting here crying about it all. I am married to a wonderfull imperfect man, who is trying! it dosn't get any better than that.

Welcome Trudibug; It is never too late to joine our mutual admiration society. My coach told me "you will have this book the rest of your life, it is important to do one lesson in one week and move on. you can always come back and do it perfectly later" It was a great help to me to know she was going to call every tuesday, at 11:am and I needed to get it done for her, then I realized I needed to get it done for me.

God Love you and yours; know you are all in my prayers, I am holding you up before the throne of God without spot or wrinkle, under the blood of Jesus. Thank God for his wonderful grace
Cheri

"The Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows (present) grace and favor and (future) glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withold from me, because I walk uprightly. PSALM 84:11

Thank you all for your prayers for my husband and please keep praying. He's trying a different route now via chriropracter. They've done so many tests. I do know he has pain and also this rash for many yrs. I try telling him it's anxiety. About the breathing. so funny cuz we watched the movie "Shall We dance" with Richard Geer and Susan Sarona. It was very good. Jennifer Lopez reminded Richard Geer to breathe when he was having anxiety so that was another plug to my husband. Don't know if he'll listen to more tapes. It's really hard for men I think more than women to realize it's anxiety.
cfe,you still didn't tell us your name...don't be shy!! I can relate with things you said about your husband. I don't even remember what he said when we were walking yest. but it hurt. The surprise was halfway thru the walk, he apologized. That felt so good, see I can't even remember what it was that hurt. The "Praying Wife" is a very good book. I need to go back to it from time to time. Praying scripture over anyone is important. Carol, I will pray for Jay. Don't know where his post is you're talking about. I feel a special bond with all of you. Wonderful to pray for each other.
