surgery went well, thanks 4 prayers
the operation went fine on my wrist. i fell asllep and woke up so fast it seemed. diddnt even know they had operated. i have to walk around withthis big rectangle sponge over my arm. it has holes on each side. it looks like a big piece of cheese. reminds me of sponge bob square pants. its very fashioable if you are blind. its suppose to help protect my wriist from bumps. wrist has temp pins that shoud come out in 1 wk. my wrist hurts soo much still. oh well...i could have broke my leg or neck. keep me in your prayers, helen
broken wrist needs surgery
ijust got back from the bone and joint clinic. i am sceduled for surgery wed. they will have to put pins in. please pray that all goes well.i do not have insurance and that is more troubling to me than my broken wrist. the doctor agreed to barter artwork for some of his services [thank God] but i dont think the hospital will be that generous. I wll just have to giive them $25.00 a month for the rest of my life...o well, it could be worse. i could have broken my leg or neck...please continue to pray for me..thanks!
you are all angels
just a note to let y'all know m doing fine. I did break my right wrist putting up christmas lights. please pray for a quick healing. i have never broken anything in my life. im going to the doctors again today to have it checked. merry christmas to all of you that have sent me a note or two. its tough typing but i still enjoy reading all the posts and surfing through eons when i can. thanks for your prayeers i asked for when i was in that depression. im doing so much better now. it helps when i am at work caring for the assisted living residents. take care , helen
I hate depression but love y'all
I havent posted or checked my eons in a long time. Today I was floating around and came across this site which has been such a blessing to me in the past. I read all the posts from people that are going through exactly what I am and it was so encouraging.
I read the responses and took them to heart as if you were writing to me. I have had so many low depressing days. I fight this daily. I made an appt with a mental health counceller. I hope he is a Christian. I may need medication. Please continue to pray for me and the others that are going through this horrible thing that tears at your thoughts.
I work as a part time activities assistant in a nursing home. This is where I find life. I pray for the residents, do activities with them, cheer them up and love them. and I know how blessed I am. I was a missionary about 15 years ago. I know who God is and what he can do.
I fight thoughts of leaving this life to be with the Lord. How much better it would be, to be in heaven with the love of Jesus than here on earth. There is so much the bible says about how great it will be to spend eternity with God. But I know how my family and friends would suffer and be tormented thinking what they could have done to make my life better.
I am not that selfish to take my own life, but when you are tormented daily it seems like a good way to end the pain. I too will continue to pray for those who have freely posted and admitted truthfully to the depression they are going through.
As a Christian I feel that we should know better and always be "up". Thanks to all of you who have not scolded us for not having a cheerful attitude. Its not easy to live with this. We don't want it. And I am trying to get help. Your prayers are life to me and the others here. Thanks.

goodbye my loyal friend
Our sweet 13 year old tea cup poodle, Coconut is on her last leg. Literally. She falls over alot and has been losing her teeth and we can tell that she has been very uncomfortable lately. We will have her put to sleep Monday. I have been in tears since talking to the vet and the humane society. We will feed her lots of her favorite foods, take her to the park give her lots of hugs and kisses, take lots of pictures and give her a great weekend before we say our last goodbyes.
This is so sad! We love our little coconut so much. But she is getting so old and crippled. Her eyes are filming over too so she is going blind. She has been an awesome dog. She used to chase balls and chew up the little superballs. She would always pick out the pink ones when we bought a variety pack for her.
She liked going to the groomers. She loved going for car rides and sit on my shoulder when we would drive around town. Sometimes I put her in a big purse when I went to the store so she wouldnt have to sit in the car by herself. She always barked at the mailman and cats. She stopped chasing squirles a while back. I think one tried to chase her!
She loved Larry so much and would be so happy to see him come home from work. She knew when it was time for him to come home. He would always pick her up and give her a hug. She loved digging in the sand at McFarland Bottoms. We will take her there one more time.
She would find hiding spots for her little biscuts and always take some of her food to her stuffed animals. She was a funny little dog. We will miss her so much... I do think God will have our pets allowed in heaven. We will see her again I hope.

Update. Thanks to all of you!
Hello prayer warriors! I havent been very active on eons for a while. Thanks for your prayers in the past.Here is an update of what I have been up to. I just started working weekends at an Assisted Living working as activites assistant. It's a low stress fun job. Im not crazy about working weekends but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do!. Im also taking one class at Univ. of N Ala. An advetising and promotion class. Whew. My mind needs to come out of the moth balls for this one. Lots of memorization and big words for little things. I still have my 2 faithful art students that come to my home each week for lessons and Im trying to get more. I am also on the city substitute teachers list. So far just one call since school started, but I know it will pick up. So I have a few irons in the fire. I hope you are doing well. Continue to pray for me. I have to battle sadness. Its so weird. I have nothing to complain about. I fight this daily. I am praying for all on this site. We serve a great God!
Pray for my Marine son
First I want to thank you all for being prayer warriors for each other.
I now ask you all to pray for my Marine son. He was put into a rehab last week. He had to drop out of school for this semester and hopefully he will get his job back. He has had problems with drinking and has lots of problems sleeping. He saw a few of his Marine brothers killed while in Iraq. He is only 22 and has been through 4 tours of duty. 2 in Iraq, 1 in Afg. and 1 in Okinawa.
He has been through so much and I pray that the councellers will be led by God in their dealings with him. He is a Christian but he does need the help. At first it just broke my heart, but I know this is the best place for him. I pray that the Gov will take up the bill for his stay there. He will be there for a month and this will be financially taxing on him.
Thanks again for your concern for strangers.

My Marine son UPDATE
Hi to all of you! Jonathan called Wed. It was a short call but he was real upbeat and said that he was glad he was in the rehab. They have been giving him excellent treatment and he sounded really good. My husband was home when he called so he was able to talk to him. I am glad I asked you all to pray for him and for us. I feel so much better knowing he is being helped. Thanks for your prayers. I think God pulled through as usual. The prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Please continue to lift him up because when he gets out, He still has to learn to live with what they have taught him. Thanks again everybody for being there for us!
my Marine son is home this 4th!!
God has answered many of my prayers.
. My son is home this 4th of July. Alive and well. He joined the Marines at 18 years old. Did 4 tours of duty. I lost about 10 years of my life over worrying during those years. He is 22 now, going to chefs school.
He has been through so much. More than many of us will ever go through. No matter what you think of the war, please pray for our military. They are serving this country and have chosen to do it.
My son needs your prayers. He has a hard time sleeping and has other problems since returning from war. Please pray that he follows through on the help that he has been offered by the VA.
The Iraqi people are thankful for our presence there. I just wish we would get the whole story and not just what the news wants us to hear. I am so glad my son is home. I pray for the families that do not have their sons, brothers, dads,etc home.
Do not take your freedoms lightly. Be thankful for this great country and the PRIVILAGES we have here.
Happy 4th of July and remember. God, we thank you for blessing America!!!!!

Prayers Answered
I want to write a note of thanks to all who have prayed for me over the past couple of weeks. The waves of sadness that cloak me at times have lifted. My family came home from Vermont for a week and I got to experience so much joy and laughter with them!
I have had old friends call that have said they have had a dream about me. They have encouraged me and restored hope. I serve a good God and know that you all here are part of His plan to pray for and encourage others.
Thanks to all that sent me a note. I so appreciated them. And needed them! It doesnt matter if we dont know each other, God put us together here for a purpose.
I am leary about sharing too much about anything on the internet but I know my God knows and sees all, and uses those who are willing to be vessels to draw people, all people closer to Him. And I thank Him for using you.
