Roll Call for Friday

Annette, I think momma is just scared of the recovery. She has talked to several people that have told her they were glad they had it done. She is at the point now that it is hard for her to get up and do anything. She has already been through a lot these last two months. First arthroscopic knee surgery, then gall bladder surgery, then skin cancer and then she finds out she is going to have to have her knee replaced. She is having it done in May and as soon as the girls are out of school we are going to AR to help her as much as we can. Anyway, have a blessed weekend. Shel

Cynthia, I am so sorry that you are feeling bad. Don't feel bad about getting depressed. It is very natural from what I have been told. You are right about the eating away the blues before. I think that was my problem too. I cried for 3 days straight before I finally asked my doctor for something to help me sleep. He gave me an anti-depressant called Elavil. I take it before bed and I sleep like a baby. After a couple of nights of good sleep, I was feeling much better. Don't be afraid to ask for help. This is a very tough lifesyle to get used to. Anybody who thinks surgery is the easy way to lose weight is crazy. The surgery is very painful, dumping is aweful, and its difficult to eat and drink. We all understand what you are going through and we will be praying for you. Most of all, God is with you right now and He will carry you through this dark time. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. Love, Jacinda

Shel,Im here. I'm having a kicked back day so far. The kids are in school the hubby at work and I am here just relaxing in the Lord.I kinda hurt my hand this morning putting the iron away so I am just leaving everything in its place and when the family get home they are going to work. We are having service tonite and I'm looking forward to that. Shel I dont think that praying for your daughters cell phone tobe found is silly. One time I was on disability and I was home looking for a form from AFLAC that I was suppose to send other wise I wasnt going to get paid and I had looked everywhere. Well I was off to go to a "REVIVAL" at church and just told God that it was in his hands. Well coming home after church I sat down on the sofa and was talking to God and said "Lord please tell me where this paper is at" and the Lord clearly said to me"Look under the black couch" I had prior to this and I just said to myself "Lord I already did" but looked anyways and lo and behold it was right there!!!!!!!!! I was like wow Lord you are awesome!! I couldnt belive it, will yes I believe God can do anything! So we will pray for that cell phone to be found.Lord in the name of Jesus We will have victory of these things. Father you know our needs and heart father please let that cell phone be found,right now on the name of Jesus! And Lord we pray for Anne Lord we lift her up to you right now that you will give her the peace and comfort that she needs thru these hard trials Father God and we thank you for your healing powers in the name of Jesus.Amen I love you guys. Rosie

Rosie, thanks so much for the prayers!! My hubby came home and went into Kat's bedroom and found it!!! I was so glad. It had fallen down behind the headboard of her bed but just under the bed. We had all looked under that bed but didn't see it. Thankfully Paul did!! Kat should be really grateful to her daddy because I was going to make her pay me back out of her allowance. That is an awesome story about that paper being found. God is truly wonderful!! Thank you also for praying for momma. This is just hard on her. She has already gone through one knee surgery (arthroscopic) and gall bladder surgery and skin cancer just in the past two months. The knee replacement is scheduled for May and it will take her the entire summer to recover. She knows she will be thankful in the end, but right now it is just hard for her to see. Anyway, I know the Lord will take care of her. Have a great weekend!! Shel

You to Shel. I will be chatting with you soon. God Bless you Rosie

Heidi Ho there neighbors~ It is great to "see" you all today. Shel~I am so sorry to hear your job isn't going well. I hope things perk up soon. I will also pray about your mom and that God would grant her peace. Jac~You are doing SO well. When you talk about heros I think of you! You are positive and all of those things you mention. You are really doing great! Cynthia~I am praying that God will fill your life with positive things to do. I know what you mean about getting bored. I have two young-uns, but with dh gone, I am getting bored too. And, where have I been turning~FOOD! This was actually shocking for me. I didn't think I was a boredom eater...hmmm, denial? But, I have just been filling my cabinets and fridge with only fruits and veggies, that way if I am eating, at least it isn't DONUTS! Praying for you sister! Cindy~How are you? God's got you on my heart today! I hope all is going well. Peg~Love the new picture! It shows such a great smile. I am fasting from the computer, not because I don't LOVE you all or this site. BUT...because this isn't the only place I visit. I so LOVE the internet and therefore I ignore my kids and duties as a wife and mom when I am clicking away my hours!!! So, no, it isn't you wonderful folks, but ME! Anyway~Things are going pretty well here. I spent the night at my folks for company. I just need some adult conversations. But, I love this season...all the leaves are changing and falling! WOW...it's pretty unbelievable! God is truly a master painter and I am thrilled to live in his gallery of color. I pray you are all well~ Beck

Hi Shel & Everybody! Thank God for His healing Power on all of us!!!! Hey, Shel, remember in the Bible when they lost their axe head in the river and they prayed and touched the axe handle into the water and the axe head floated to the top!!!!!! We can believe for your daughter's cell phone to "float" into sight and be found!!!!! In Jesus Name!!!!! If God cared for an axehead, He can care for a cellphone, right??!!! It's sure good to see everybody again! Love you all much! Cindy

Cindy, it did "float" into sight. Into my hubby's sight. He came home and went into her room and kept looking until it was found! I'm thankful. I didn't know what we were going to do. It is so good to hear from you. Hopefully, this will be my last week at work and I can bring my computer home and work from home. I miss being able to come to this board. Anyway, have a great weekend!! Shel
