Aaaarrrrggghhhhh!!!
 
I need help people!! I need for you guys to pump me up, encourage me that I can make it through this day. :sos

I feel like I am getting a sinus infection, I have been dealing with sciatica for the last week (oh my word, PAIN) and I am in the middle of making up 150 cookie bags for the church to give away tonight, at a graduation ceremony for a parenting class that the High School across the street has been giving. :tissue

I want to throw these cookies and the ground and stomp on them, which would probably be counter-productive... And the stinkin church phone lines wont stop ringing, my mom keeps calling on my cell with different assignments... I'm losin it people! :pullhair :ranting :girlytantrum

You can make it... hang in there!

If the phone ringing is stressing you out, lay it off the hook for 15 minutes once an hour to give yourself time for a break.

I don't know what else I can do... but I will pray for extra strength and healing for you.

Just keep telling yourself it could be worse, you could be the governor of Ill.


You could be a 14 year old indonesian girl making barbies in an asian sweatshop somewhere on the chinese mainland cut off from family and friends working 20 hours a day for room and board.

you could be a mideval peasant girl in war torn france during the hundred years war with the English army rampaging thru your villiage (can you tell im reading Bernard Cornwell?)

You could be walking the streets of Mecca with a sign around your neck saying "Allah aint that great"

You could be stuck on a secluded beach some place in Austrailia a thousand miles from a hospital having just stepped on a box jellyfish.....

you could be living in a cave in prehistoric america wondering if a saber tooth tiger will bite your head off when you sept outside the clammy cold confines of your underground abode....

Well, I'm sure being here isn't helping matters!

I'm with PO -- stomp on a couple cookies, then turn off your cell phone and take the church phone off the hook for a little while.

Eat all the cookies! Helps me every time! :)

You people and your common sense. Talked me right off the cliff. :christmoose

You are correct, my being here isn't exactly helping the situation, perhaps if I focused, I might not feel so much pressure! :santathumb

I'm outa here, prob for the rest of the day, thanks to all for the good thoughts and prayers!! :friend

Well, Sister, I don't know if this will help you or not, but, almost a year ago, it sure helped me. Its from a little book we recieved in the mail last January. A sister from, I believe, California sent it to us. The Title of the book is "God's Promises to a Womans Heart" by Jane L. Frayer.

"Rest" Chapter 13, Page 30-

I know all about your relentless days,
and your sleepless nights.

I've seen your jangled nerves,
rubbed raw on life.

I've felt the crushing weight
of guilt and sin-
I carried yours all the way to Calvary
on My own shoulders.

And now MY invitation stands,
wide open as My heart.

Come to Me!

Let Me care for your soul,
Let Me lift your burdens,
Fall back into my arms,
Trusting Me, trusting My promise.

May the Lord give you rest, just as he helped us rest in Him when we really needed to!

StMark 12-11-2008 02:52 PM

Re: Aaaarrrrggghhhhh!!!
 
The Lord's been trying to speak to you for a long time but you're just not listening to his voice.

Bro. OA,

Isn't the encouragement someone gave us in times gone by, many times
the very thing we will also need by and by!:nod
That is precious, Brother!

Hugs,(motherly, of course!)

Yes, Sis Falla, and Sister Diz knows why I sent her this verse from this particular book. She sent it to Lola just before Lola left us. I read every word of this book to Lola. It gave her such comfort. The book has a matching pen with it, and Lola wanted me to hand her the pen one day with a piece of paper. She tried her best to write her name with it just because "that lady in California was sweet enough to send it to me". Thats the one and only time that pen was ever written with...or ever will be. I'll cherish that book, pen and scrap of paper. Just wanted Sis Diz to know how she helped us to find rest when we really needed it!

OA, I read your post with tears in my eyes. Never, ever forget that you are precious brother in the Lord, and your words of encouragement are priceless. You are at times the beacon that pulls us ALL back to sanity. :friend

I know that some of you prayed for me this afternoon, I promise that after I posted this thread, the phone probably only rang 4 or 5 more times the entire day!!! And my mom only called me one more time! And I got the cookie bags done without stomping or eating any of them!! :shockamoo

THANKS FRIENDS!!! :roseglasses :friend :yourock :kittyhug

No, sister, just returning the favor to a sister that helped me in the time of need. I misread your post, though. I thought you said I was the BACON. Thought it was one of those Californy phrases thats not made its way east yet.

Thank you so much! I know that there are those times when I get down on myself and feel like I haven't accomplished much in my life, and then I stop and think "hey, I have a really great kid, I must have done something right"! I know most parents feel that way, but I am REALLY right!!! LOL!! :christmoose

Well, you have me to thank. I Prayed and God heard the Prayers of the righteous.
