This request is for me...
I'm just about totally overwhelmed with life right now and I'm not handling things very well.
I'm moving in three weeks--my house isn't done yet, so I'm working like a madwoman to get it done...I painted tonight until almost 10:00 and that will probably be my life for the next three weeks. Of course, I'm living in total disarray at THIS house--trying to pack and sort and get things in order, so everything is just a MESS.
Emotionally, this is much harder on me than I thought it would be. It's good to have a "new start" and it's good that I have a different house to move into, but this has been my home for almost ten years now and it holds a LOT of memories, many of them really good.
Bob got remarried over the weekend, I've been told--I find that just...well, WEIRD. I've been thinking a lot about the lack of spiritual foundation in our marriage--it wasn't that we didn't, separately, love the Lord...we just really never found that "oneness" spiritually and I don't get that--and I don't ever want to be in another relationship where the Lord isn't the ABSOLUTE foundation, which means, of course, that the thought of another relationship and the possible failures absolutely terrifies me.
Lots of baggage here, eh? God is really challenging me to be, as Chad calls it, "transparent" with people and share what's on my heart--this is about as transparent as I get. I don't even know what to ask for, except a HUGE dose of wisdom and peace.
I'm made with my Father's hands,
I'm made with His breath of life.
I'm fearfully, wonderfully made.

Dena, I will be praying. I understand about everything just being a 'mess' right now. If you need anything, I am here.
And I know I've been afraid of
Every little thing
But today I join creation
when I raise my head and sing
She's opend my eyes, and now I'm where I belong, joined in a song
You're truly amazing ...

Dear God of Comfort,
I lift Your servant Dena, to You Lord, in her efforts in life. Lord, give her Your peace and comfort. She loves You so much Jesus, bless and watch over her as she faces this latest difficulty in her life. Make her see You Lord and all the ways You have established Yourself in her Life. Give her the strength to endure until the end, to run the great race. Hold her in Your heart and make her feel Your complete and total Love. Remind her Jesus, not to worry about tomorrow, just to praise and thank You Lord for today, tomorrow will take care of itself. Tell her again, how the only serious relationship she needs is the one with the One. Hear my prayers, Amen

Update on me...I'm moving Saturday!!
My house is almost done--a few last-minute things to do (refinishing the floors is the MAJOR thing left) and everything is really falling into place. I've had some bouts of discouragement, usually when I'm too exhausted to move and think I can't take another step, but God has just provided amazing things in amazing ways and has proven over and over again that He is firmly in control and that this is His perfect timing.
I go back to the neurologist tomorrow to see how I fared on my last MRI...I'm praying that he tells me there's been no change. I know he won't be happy with the "no sleep" thing that's been going on with me the past few weeks, but this season of my life will pass and I'm going to sleep in the next one (picture a bear in hibernation!!)
So, my updated prayer request is just for emotional/physical stamina to get me through the next few days...and good weather on moving day. This time next week, I'll be typing you an update from my new home!!!

Congrats on the move...
I suppose I can tell you that I moved myself, last weekend. It had it's very hard moments, but I think I'm settling in. Ya gotta write me so we can compare war stories... (lol)

You helped get me thru this, just so you remember.
