Prayer Requests...

Hi - I only have a minute, but I'm asking for your prayers today. My daughter had a bad session with her psychologist yesterday, to the extent that the doctor told me it's a VERY bad time for me to be thinking of leaving to go to England (on 4/4). So, I told DH that I can't go. I prayed about it long and hard, and the Lord put it on my heart that I was NOT to go. DH is furious. It's hard to be a step parent who so often has to take the back seat to the kids. My Mom and Dad are still going and want DH to go with them. He's thinking it over, but is so angry. I pray that the Lord would give him peace over this and that the enemy would not get a foothold! May the Lord's will be done! Next, my bro-in-law is in the hospital with a bad attack of colitis. They will probably do some surgery. I pray that the Lord would reveal Himself to Ed and my sister, Stacey, in this. That they would see that He is all they need! Thanks you all! - Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, Step-parenting is very hard, but I am sure your DH will calm down and know that at this point the kids must come first. Sorry for you though - I love England. In His Grip - Sally Dear Father, Please hear the cry of Carolyn's heart for her daughter. Give her a peace and resolve to see this through. Please help her husband to understand the heart of a mother and to support her as she tries to be a good mother. Please open up the eyes of Stacey and Ed during this time of illness. Help see him safely through his possible surgery and let this be a time that you are glorified. Amen.

Hi Carolyn, I am sorry about your daughter & your trip to England. I am sure it's hard for your husband to understand. Just take some extra time, when he cools off, to reassure him of your love and committment and to express again why it's important for you to be there for your daughter. I know I am preaching to the choir here but you know what I mean. Even my husband has had to take a back seat to our kids from time to time. He loves his girls but it frustrates him too. I know your hubby loves and cares for your daughter and for you, he's just hurt. He will find peace! And for your BIL. My MIL has colitis and she has really gone through some rough times. She has it pretty well under control with a strict diet and medicine. You are all in my prayers. Hugs, Robin

Hi Carolyn, I am praying for you! You have to do what is best for your daughter, and I know that you are disappointed as well at missing the trip. I hope that your husband can see that you have to be available for your daughter during this time. {{{Carolyn}}} Blessings, Jennie
