Prayer Request

Dear Lord, with the recent activities in my home over the last week, I have become pretty depressed. My household consisted of my fiancé and myself but also my 19 yr old son and part time his 19 yr old girlfriend. My 19 yr old pretty much fended for himself- he has been employed since he was a jr in high school... So after his graduation he had come to both Marc and I and told us that he was wanting to move out and in with some friends. We told him that if that was truly what he wanted to do that was fine - and if he need to come back to momma's nest that he was always welcome as long as he abided by a few rules- well he changed his mind which was a relief to me. and he also agreed that after he graduated that he would be responsible for paying for rent on his room( which we agreed would be $200.00 per month) well the rules that we put in place were not really rules they were simply being courteous to Marc and I. Since he was fending for himself as far as food went the money was strictly for the room and water and electricity. Marc would ask if they wanted to eat on occasion however the majority of the time it was a no from them. Well then it began to be an issue when Marc would go to cook a meal and ingredients were gone that he knew for sure that we had purchased - so we deducted that they would wait til I was at work and Marc was asleep and they would eat whatever. So marc threw a fit and the kids left that night and the next day came back for the rest of their clothes, so my son has put me on his black-ball list and refuses to go to my 96yr old grandfathers to celebrate thanksgiving( I totally understand that he is pissed and blames both Marc for "blowing things out of proportion" but the fact is that this was not the first time that they had to have a conversation regarding replacing the things in the house that everyone used like TP, toiletries, laundry soap etc) the boy I assume found it to much of an inconvience- but I would think that Thanksgiving he would want to be with family- either my side or his fathers side of the family. So now I will have to answer questions from my family as to where he is for thanksgiving) I hope that he changes his mind and brings himself and the girlfriend to celebrate with us. I ask that you shine that ray of sun on him and encourage him to come to dinner at grandpa's or to go to his fathers dad's because both my grandpa n his grandpa on his dad's side are in poor health and up in ages amen

Prayer Request

I feel as though I may be drowning ... I am excited for the changing of my job. The night of the 17th is my last night at Fairbridge.. after almost 5 yrs. I then start my new job at Super8 the night of the 18th or my training anyway. Marc is plugging along with his GED classes at skillsource and doing side work when the weather and his back pain permit. I am so proud of him- pushing through the pain to get where he intends to go...
Jamy and Clarissa have gone in and signed up at WVC to start fall quarter- Marc has his tentative schedule for his GED and starting college himself fall quarter as well- however he keeps circling back to what happens if I have to have another surgery... I honestly don't know what to tell him - he has always been the one who's faith is top notch- he is always telling me that God will see us through... I don't know how but He will... I am trying to have that same faith outwardly but I don't always come across that I do... I too wonder what will happen if he has to have another surgery. I too have a lot on my own mind. But really it all seams so fricking trivial.
UGH... I pray for some enthusiasm in everyday things. I pray for the drive for both of us to keep going putting one foot in front of the other. Not being down in the dumps and depressed.( both Marc and I have this going on and it seems that neither of us really can discuss it with the other. )I feel like Marc is distancing himself. I notice it when we are in the living room and I ask him something and he has his nose buried in school work. Don't get me wrong- I am jazzed that he is so gung ho about math seeing that it is what has held him back from getting his GED. Please get us to a place where we are free to breathe.
amen
