Mary Kay you sound very positive and I have you and your job search in prayer. But try to do a little quilting! Your work is so beautiful!

Now I must ask for prayers for my mother. She had chest pains this morning and then vomited and my sister took her to the hospital, no heart attack, but low potassium, and she is over night. Please please pray that she gets out tomorrow and stays well. She is due to come up here in March and I so want some time with her! Is that selfish? I know sometimes couples go together, but we need her here right now. and aside from the dementia she is doing pretty well for 84.
Thanks
Joan

Thanks, All!

I set up my temporary office in my quilt room - I had to move Katie's sewing machine, but she said that was just fine (she is really busy during the school year and doesn't get much sewing time in).

So, I have got my laptop, phone, printer, etc set up as my "part time job" has become the job search..... and every time I look up, I am facing my stash! I figured it would be best to "set up shop" where I feel the most comfortable!

DH and I have gotten power walks every morning together and I have taken on some of the home chores to give him a little break. I haven't gotten any quilting time in, but I am still finishing some exit stuff with the last job, while also working on finding the next one. Hopefully things will be a little less hectic next week and I can fit some sew time in during the day!

Life is good!

Sending prayers and good thoughts to all of you!

Mary Kay

Mary Kay, I am glad that you are able to see the job loss in a positive way, and hope that you are able to enjoy the free time you have for a while. Go and enjoy that retreat!!! Hugs Pam

Mary Kay I like your Hubby's way of thinking. You just do what you GOTTA do my friend and suffer through it.
Sorry I haven't touched my computer in ages I have been so busy with my sister that I have had little time for any thing else. First PLEASE PLEASE pray for her health. I took her to a Dr. appt. last week and her blood pressure was 210/ 134, her blood sugar was 381 :shock: I took it yeasterday and it was 418 and that was before breakfast. : : :shock: This Dr. wants her to monitor it for 2 weeks and come back then he will give her meds. I hope she survives this Dr.
On a lighter note I don't know if I have told you yet that there will be 2 new little ones entering this world in late july/ early august. Little ones are always a blessing even if we are not too happy about the person who will be it parent. My one neice already has 2 that are 2 and 9 months both babies are very busy.
Ann I am so glad to hear you are on the mend now stay that way. I look forward to your post and you worry me terribly when I don't see them.
Happy I will pray that justice is not blind in your friends case for all parties involved. For every one person wrongfully imprisoned there is a criminal who is lose to repeat and inflict more harm. A rape charge is something that never leaves you even if proven innocent. I hope they find the felon quickly especially for this young girl though the most.
To those who had shots I hope they work wonders for you.
Sandi, I do hope they figure out what is going on with your Mom soon. I think not knowing is worse then anything. At least when you know what is wrong you can say ok let's deal with it or fix it. God bless All

Mary Kay it sounds like you might be feeling like this is a good thing for you right now. That's good. I hope it turns out to be a blessing in disguise. Karen

Mary Kay I hope it works out for you Happy

Mary Kay, I hope you are truly able to enjoy this down time and do some of the things you really want to do. I understand about walking in faith - I think a lot of us are doing that right now. Hope you have more time to spend with us here, too

Well, I was laid off today.... and I think in many ways, my prayers were answered. I am mostly happy, as I wasn't having fun any more in the job that I was in (I think I have been giving Dana, Bridget and Ann an ear full on a regular basis about my not enjoying the job any more)..... so this is a great opportunity to move on to the next adventure!

I have started a short list of things to do with the spare time, including cleaning out my closet and my undies drawer, working on the Bella, taking some classes at my LQS, and decompressing!!! : And I also think that this will be a great opportunity to walk in Faith... not just talk about it!

Thanks to all of you for your prayer support! I could feel it the past 10 days and really appreciate your thoughts and kindness!

Fortunately, I have a little time before I have to be back in a job! I think the time will do me good!!!

Any my DH told me today, that I still MUST attend the LaVeta Quilt retreat that I am signed up for this summer! YEAH!

God is good!

Mary Kay

You got it, Ann. And how are you doing?
Joan

I put in a praise because our friend didn't need open heart surgery but he is still having some problems. Sometimes our plumbing just doesn't want to work after surgery of any kind and that is what is happening and there is blood in the urine (not a good picture) He is coping well but we all want him better. I have a great Harley in my garage but I would be much happier if Howard could be here and riding it. so send up your prayers for Howard so that he can get over these side effects and get back down here and be the Harley Dude that we all love. Thanks, Ann

Please everyone my DD Daniela's BF was at a party last night the next day a girl at the party said he raped her we know that it could not have happened he was home at my sons apt. in 30min later and he walked thier we all had to come to Pa. please help them and pray that the truth will come out they are young and have their whole life a head of them

welcome to the group Lois! It's always great to have another prayer warrior!

Please pray for my friend Sr Jane who lost her brother last night. She herself has not been well and I hope she can stay strong through this.

Have a great day everyone
Joan

I just spent a little time reading the posts in this prayer group tonight for the first time. It has truly encouraged me, and brings tears to my eyes to see your faith and read your stories. "Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2 I think that is what prayer for each other is all about. Thanks to God and to all of you for asking for prayer and offering good reports. This was really moving to read these messages. God keep you and bless you each one.
