Gabby's - Page 16

I never got into Gabby's on NFCF because I always felt like I was behind on everyone's lives. I'm amazed at how you are all able to share with each other the ups and downs of your lives and "spill your guts" so to speak. I guess that I'm a more private person. But as time goes on, maybe I'll be able to share more of my life and the stage I'm in right now.......

But this thread has touched me in several ways today... Several of you are in the midst of major decisions in your lives regarding where to live - and the possibility of moving -- this is something that my husband and I are facing. As I pray for our situation, I will remember you and that we are not alone in these life-changing decisions right now.

Amazing Grace.... YES! Your children do need both their parents right now. Stability is one thing, but they need to be in a stable FAMILY atmosphere - not with parents separated due to job situations. I applaud you and agree with your decision. May God give you the desires of your heart regarding a place to call home in this next phase of your life! And may He direct you to a church that will meet your spiritual needs and the spiritual needs of your family!

Carey M.... I'm believing God to send a buyer to you for your home. I don't know all the ins and outs of why you feel to move to Chicago, but it seems from your posts that you definitely believe this is God's will - may His peace surround you and your family until this is accomplished.

Rhoni.... my heart breaks with you.... but God is faithful! He will be your tower of strength!

To the rest of you....

Have a blessed evening - and may your sleep be sweet!

She was having that suger check this week...I MISS HER!!!

SisTS, I have her email addy. I'll drop her a note in just a few minutes. I'm guessing that she's probably very snowed in right now. Am I thinking right? Doesn't she get on here when she is at work but not at home?? We're in a blizzard situation here in NW Ohio right now. It came up to us by way of Southern Indiana. So............

So we may not get a reply back right away. Let's just keep praying for her, ok? If we don't hear VERY soon, I also have her snail mail, so maybe I can drop her a card and let her that we in Gabby's love and miss her.

AmazingGrace,
Be assured, I'm joining Ron in his prayer for you. Not just for "any old house". I'm going to ask God for exactly the right house for you. Even if it's only until the end of the summer - you are HIS child. And HE owns the cattle on a thousand hills!! there's no reason you need to settle for less than the best that God has for you!! Let's believe together.

Sweet Pea,
It sure has been nice to see you here. You are a big encourager!! I like that!!! Stick around a while

Rhoni,
Keep holding tight. And when you need strength, here we are. That's our job right now - holding up your arms (like with Moses!) GOD has a victory ahead for you.

And Ron, tell us about the new/used car that God's providing. I just know it's happening. Can't wait to hear the report.

Thank you Margie, it is appreciated.

BTW in AG's case God owns the "Castles" on a thousand hills as well!

ok, folks. now one more post from me. I know you're tired of hearing from me already tonight. Sorry.

Night before last, our fire department got called at 2:00 am to a house fire. The cardiologist and the vascular surgeon and our family doctor have all told Walt he could NOT go to another fire call. (he's the assistant chief here in our town, but it's a volunteer position). He could stay on the department, but only to do paperwork and maybe to run the radio at the station occasionally.

So what does he do when the house fire call comes in? He jumps up, gets dressed and promises he will only run the radio. When he finally gets home at 7:00 am, I ask if he stayed at the station all night. And he sheepishly tells me that he did go to the scene. But only to take out coffee and water for the guys. And to give some technical advice. PLEASE!!!! Does he think I'm stupid?? That's one step away from grabbing a hose and running inside!!!

And then, to make matters worse, he decides later in the day that he should shovel the sidewalk going to our back garage!!! Another thing all of the doctors have given strict orders he is NEVER to do!!!!

Well, now he's "not feeling really good". DUH!!!!!!!

and on top of that, he took Monday off work because he was too tired from the fire call to go in. And he took today off because they predicted a major snowstorm (which didn't get here until late this afternoon/early evening). And now he's not going in tomorrow because of the Level 2 snow emergency. Good grief!! What're we supposed to pay bills with???

But see I can't say anything, because I don't want to upset him and cause his blood pressure to go up.

So all I can do is pray!!! Help me pray, will you? This is the man who came so close to death in May and then God restored him. But he's got to do his part now. I need him!! I want him around to help raise our boys! Pray that he gets his head on straight. I know that sounds funny, but I'm serious. If he keeps doing stupid stuff like he's done, I'm afraid we'll lose him this time.

Thanks so much!!!! This is by far, the best thread on this whole forum

I just love you all!!

A man needs to feel "needed" and "useful", that being said he is all that and more to you and the kids, but he needs fulfilment in a job and in other areas.

The trick is finding the right balance.

I will be praying.

Thanks, Ron. I know that's true. And I'm trying to be understanding and supportive and all that. But, if it's at the risk of his life, I just can't make myself do it. I just keep thinking that if he died doing this, tho, he would at least die happy. But that's not ok. Sorry. I DO want him to be happy!! More than anything!! But I also want him around for a long time. I do think that he learned a big lesson because it's taking him so long to bounce back after the other night. But pray that that 'lesson' doesn't throw him into some sort of a depression.

I really do appreciate your prayers! It means alot to me.

Good night.
