I want to talk to the person I want to talk to, but I don't want to talk to him if he doesn't want to talk to me, and I don't know how to find out whether or not he actually wants to talk to me without talking to him.

Stupid stuff keeps happening to stop me working. Some of it is my fault and some not, but I need to make Friday a stunning blaze of productivity.
For J. And D., with major health issues and only one of them working part-time, and now D's father is seriously ill.

I've mentioned Mrs Sioni's co-worker C who broke both wrists a few weeks ago. Things are very difficult for her now, the prognosis isn't good and she's very down. Coupled with a son with ME and a less than helpful church she needs a lot of support. I could go on but are needed. Thanks.

M, for whom I asked prayers a few weeks ago, is quite depressed at the moment - we have chatted a bit by SMS and I hope to have a chance to see him this evening. It may be iatrogenic from his new medication but I don't know yet. I promised him I would get some prayer going for him so please uphold him. Poor lad is only 23 and is finding life a struggle at the moment.

earlier mentioned theater issue is building up to a show down which I suspect is going to happen here in an hour or two. needs to happen, but I'm not looking forward to it. and it may well harm an important friendship to me - but the friend is being a pushy mofo who won't consider my concerns legitimate. I'm about to have to tell him that in the most strident way I can and it's going to get ugly and I'm already dreading it.

Could you please remember my son Groover in your prayers? We moved house at the beginning of the summer, and he is really struggling to settle. He's started at his new school, and seems to be mostly enjoying it, but his behaviour at home is awful and most nights he asks if we can move back to where we were because he misses his friends. He's 7. Prayers for wisdom for mr b and me in helping him through would also be much appreciated.
(My 4-year-old, on the other hand, continues to wring every last moment of joy and fun out of life. So that's good.)

Feeling a bit hokey posting here, as I don't do the Christian God but in the last 6 months, I've lost my job, lost my pa, lost my best friend as he told me he didn't accept my behaviour when I was depressed (he owes me £several thousand and refuses to speak to me about repayment), ended a relationship (necessary but sad), plus got to the heart of my mother's pervading cruelty towards me so feel as if I have lost her as well (although she is still around to manipulate and instill me with guilt and undermine me).
I'm weary and sad and want a change in fortune.

it went better than I thought, though my plan to basically resign from everything got scuttled somehow. I promised to wait and see, and if my list of "demands" are met, I'll take over as director. My demands are pretty big, so I'm not holding my breath. But the best part is, I was heard and respected by the outgoing director - step one. step two and three - the ED and the board - will be much more challenging. I'm just telling myself, hey! I was ready to quit anyway, so it's not like I'm losing anything if it doesn't go my way. I have plenty of other projects I can take on.
(right? right?)
anyway - wanted to keep you all updated. thank you very much for the prayers and hugs and such. you all are the best.

Shipmates, I ask your continuing prayers for Jim, whom I have mentioned up-thread...
quote:
Although he has been moved from Acute ICU to regular ICU, it's still a grim situation. Jim still has the tracheotomy and from time to time they insert a speaking mechanism. The latter has helped Jim speak more specifically about his condition/needs/concerns etc. both with C. [his partner] and with the hospital staff. As of this date he has been in ICU for 36 days.
I have edited this slightly from a report by C's mother.

I'm going through a difficult change in relationship status, and although I know what's happening is right, it's also painful and makes me scared for the future. I alternate between coping surprisingly well and struggling. Today seems to be the latter. Please pray. Thank you.

Found the thing, thanks.
For Mrs Sioni's C, for healing for her and her son, and a morale boost. For D. the team leader.
For Welease Woderwick's M, for healing.
For comet's theatre and friendship, for conflict resolution. If You think she should take over as director, Lord, see that it happens for her.
I had a sorta productive day, but could do with a whole row of the same next week. I have been feeling fatigued and have a constant headache, which I think could be burnout from a big event recently. Also the finance-monster is trying to sneak back in, casing the joint, saying stuff like "Avon calling" in a suspiciously gruff voice, etc.
For Jemima's family.
For the father/daughter relationship known to Nicodemia.
For Groover, and for birdie and mr b to know how to help him.
For healing for Emma Louise's mum, a safe journey home for her grandmothers, and above all, strength and full awareness of being loved for ((((((Emma Louise)))))) herself - You know she deserves it, Lord.
For healing for ebeth.
For Beenster, for a new job and pa, reconciliation with the best friend and return of her money, and safety from her mother's toxicity combined with comfort for the heartbreak and the loss of what should have been hers. Help her feel Your presence, Lord.
For PeteC's Jim, for healing.
For Ariel's Zeena and Zainab.
For Late Paul's relationship, and his coping skills.
For Nicolemr and her daughter.
For the Telemum.
For K. and another K.

Praying through for each by name
For my cousin C's father N, temporarily rescued from his siblings' abusive neglect and currently in hospital (it was the ambulance EMT's who took N to the hospital who told C that this was a clear case of senior abuse.) N is not in good shape, he has 2 large tumors encircling his prostate and his esophagus, plus what the doctor calls "the largest kidney stone i've ever seen." N's attitude is that he doesn't want institutionalised care (which may well turn out to be hospice care) because that would take away all the money he has coming to him from his share of the inheritance coming to him and his abusively neglectful siblings after the death of their mother. May C have strength and discernment in his struggle, may N have healing and comfort and a spirit of wisdom, and may healing and a reconciling spirit come upon the whole family.

I just spoke to my friend M, see above, and got him to tell me his medication - he is an otherwise healthy 23 year old who gets terrible migraines. I sat here and looked up his medication on the internet and his symptoms fit exactly some of the side effects of what he is on! He has promised to go to the Dr in the morning and I have told him to make notes of all his symptoms to take with him.
Continued prayers appreciated.
