Prayer Requests.....here we go again!
Hey Guys! Before I get started I've got two catagories of prayer requests:
1. Personal:
It's been a while since I've blogged, I've been reading the comments lots but not taking the time to write, life has been super busy and I feel like keeling over from exhaustion about now... I just have until the middle of next week until my one job is done, then I only have one to deal with! I'm tired of 11 hour days that's for sure! pray that I have the strength to make it through and to recouperate over teh next few weeks.
So Jim.. I decided to stay home in the end afterall... I got the "now I must stop running from place to place" talk and so I'm ticked enough that I want to persevere until my end date of sometime in August (I'm currently working that out....)Anyways, my three plans for the summer are
1. Pay off student loans
2. Go visit Myles in NYC
3. Come to BC.
And I hope to do all three (maybe it's wishful thinking but anyways!)
I'm really feeling tired beyond belief at the moment, please pray for strength, I'm really not able to concentrate or remember things well... I need to cut things back... and to top it off I have no vehicle for the summer so I'm biking 7 miles into town to work everyday... pray for my patience with that... the truck finally died. (poor Tiny Tim!)And my muscles ache! oh man!
2. Dean:
Some of you may remember one of my best friends from high school named Dean (I definatly talked to the girls about him...He's the one that had just gotten married before I came to Kaleo) Anyways, I was coming home from Camp last night (the director invited a few of us up to watch the game... which sucked by the way, we lost :( ) And there was alot of smoke coming from the direction of the church. Being curious and scared that it could be Dori's house or the church (Dean hasn't been home much to worry about) I followed Dori home and found Dean's house up in flames and the fire crew there... it's gone now, I was there til after midnight with him and his Fam. and I went back to take a look just half an hour ago and it's gone, there's nothing left... it was a two story house and thereis one full wall left, and the kitchen walls are maybe waist hight, it's crazy... that there's nothing left. Dean just has no "luck", and this is why I'm asking for your prayer.... He's attempted suicide before and well... in the last week he's been in and out of the hospital with kidney stones and an allergic reaction.. and today he went in to get his tonsel's out... so he's not doing so well health wise, and I'd probably guess his walk is doing much worse. Could you guys pray for him? he's not doing well. and even though we've had our problems as friends (and really haven't seen eachother much in the past two years, he's a trucker and I'm only recently around) I still care about him... we were close friends for eighteen years...I've just had troubles with his life choices, and supporting him with those.
ANYWAYS! please pray for him... he needs it daily so he can get through this. and I want to reach out to him and still be his friend but his actions and words have hurt me alot in the past so I'm scared about what will happen if we resume our friendship. We're going out for coffee next week so please pray for that.
3. Miscelanious Breakdown
I came home last night and broke down. I'm so sick of this place... so tired of the dryness that is Dauphin and my life right now. The dryness from a lack of community and the dryness from being scared to let God Shock me out of my state of numbness, scared that Dad will continue to get worse, or worse yet, that he'll be this way forever. Tired when I think how bad uncle Dave is doing, how fast he's going down hill (he lost his eyesight and has to walk with a walker now) Tired of waiting for the end of summer, for a chance to begin living again, to begin filling up the dry cracks of my life that have become like a desert in my few months here. Home is supose to be a refuge and it's instead been another large weight on my shoulders that I don't know if I can take anymore.
Please guys... I need some prayer.
I love you and miss you all
Amber
