Sweet heather! my fellow heather,...Dear Heather,<br /> Sweet heather! my fellow heather, whom I have not met in person but feel like I have - as you have so often commented on my little blog (so encouraging, thank you thank you!) and we frequent some of the same few blogs, so I see your comments and sweet encouragement to others just everywhere, it seems. :O)<br /> Thank Heaven that you got the job! I'm sorry you are going through a tough and hurtful time with your father right now. That is so hard. <br />I will indeed send up a prayer for you.

How wonderful that you are able to have the clothes in the sun and breezes...don't they smell lovely dried that way?? :)<br /><br />So sorry about the struggles you have been having. I will pray for you today. Try to get outside for a nice walk each day and just enjoy the LORD and HIS creation as well as some fresh air. Good for the soul. You can pour your heart out to HIM in prayer as you walk along.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Camille<br />Pslam 138:8Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838089502798643241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-41612810561233915472010-08-06T05:59:29.149-07:002010-08-06T05:59:29.149-07:00Dear Heather,

I know it is a difficult and stressful time (especially for him being unemployed and I'm sure he is feeling like he cannot support you properly - just how men think)<br />I will be praying for your dad to completely trust in the Lord (here's a favorite verse of mine: Isaiah 26:3) and I wil also be praying for the Lord to show you how you can minister to your dad during this time. Maybe you can start each morning with prayer together or ask him how you can pray for him today. Try not to be discouraged, God will work it out.<br /><br />And look! He is working: you have a job starting Monday! Congratulations! God is good :)<br /><br />BTW, If I saw that cereal box at the grocery store, I would have bought it because it is so cute! Once it's empty, save it and use it for a vintage decoration in your kitchen :) I have done that with vintage reproduction packaging :) It looks cute!<br /><br />Have a blessed weekend Heather! You are in my prayers sweetie!<br />SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737384601584423130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-66490740568203995292010-08-05T23:01:48.437-07:002010-08-05T23:01:48.437-07:00I was just talking about you last night with a fri...I was just talking about you last night with a friend that works at Harry & Davids; all along I've been thinking and hoping you could work there and now this wonderful news! I celebrate and thank God with you for this awesome answer to prayer!!!<br />Will be praying about your dad and you--I know from our recent challenges that great stress can sometimes bring out the 'worst' in people. I also know God can heal your relationship and take away both of your pain. <br />Blessings always--wish you lived a lot closer!

That's wonderful, so excited for you!!! God has a plan sweetie remember that, we may not always see it at the time, but he does. I am sorry to hear you and your Dad are having some issues.

How cool is that :) :) I'm sorry you haven't been feeling well. I'll be praying!!! I took a "radical" decision to stop ALL medicines for my proctitis/Inflammatory Bowel Disease...because they were making me sick and I didn't like that. Medicine is supposed to make you feel better. So instead I'm going the "natural" route and trying to exercise, drink lots of water, and eat as healthy as I can..and staying away from high=fat foods..but not always easy :) :) :) You take care of yourself!!

I need to surround myself with more folks like you. I will be back. I am going to visit your new friends too. I have not felt good for a few weeks. My thyroid, they changed my meds and I feel worse. I need prayer always. I never stop praying for folks and my little prayer journals i keep all full of wonderful answers to pray and some still waiting.

@Cindy - yes,...Hi everyone...thanks for writing. <br /><br />@Cindy - yes, definitely an answer to prayer because at least for the next few monts the financial burden has been liften somewhat...although I'll still be living like I was on an unemployment budget. My goal is to pay off the last two medical bills by December...and then I can concentrate on knocking out my student loan debt...DEBT FREE is what I want to be :) :)<br /><br />@Tammy/Flat Creek Farm - yeah..I love my dad but sometimes it's hard...I'm guessing it's like that for married folks, too? I have to practice forgiveness and trusting God, which surpasses me wanting to assume my "rights" to hurt feelings :) :) :) Of course, you'll still hear from me...but just not as often!!! Not sure exactly how that will pan out yet!!<br /><br />@Amy - I'll pray for you and hubby too!!! Feel free to send me an email if you want to. Yeah, life is a challenge and it's hard ..and I don't know how people who don't know Jesus Christ do it...but the one thing is that when we come out on the other side, we'll be able to help someone else later on down the road. <br /><br />Thanks everyone for writing...continued prayers are appreciated because there are some other details that need to be worked out now that only God can meet :) :) :) Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)Heather's Blog-o-ramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490555197097928275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-8010423114790781452010-08-04T18:14:33.118-07:002010-08-04T18:14:33.118-07:00Heather, it' ok to vent.

They don't live with us now but they did for about 3 years and it was very, very difficult and the fact that we emerged from that still speaking to each other says volumes for family love.<br />Its hard here too, lots of folks are in the same kind of financial bind, you re NOT alone..So glad you get to go back to work and it will be good to have somewhere to go and be able to contribute.<br /><br />Stop by and say hi anytime!<br />BarbDogmom Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200083614598683445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229227706114386148.post-76226517244956719852010-08-04T17:24:59.714-07:002010-08-04T17:24:59.714-07:00Lots of prayers to you and your Dad.
