Hi @ENKELI ,

Well done on the re-submission. 😊

I hear you re: food planning. I have insulin-resistence so I am also quite mindful about what I eat and how it affects my blood sugars.

I’m still struggling along day to day. Hanging in here.

@AlwaysMyself @tyme @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @ENKELI @heartathome @ENKELI @Realness

For those who prayed or are praying for us. Thanks a lot it is beginning to work. i have been praying a lot the last 3 or so days about this and The Lord has given me much understand how to best get my Family back.

The Only Answer?

Go To Heaven! I love doing that. So much fun seeing eternal life inside my heart and may love our Lord so intimately as now. He is our Rock and our Redeemer we need Him so. Much more than my wife how ever wonderful a woman she is.

Best work on for very little sleep.

Nothing seems to be to be done about that.

Hi @heartathome , @DownMoreThanUp , @Appleblossom , @ENKELI , @tyme , @Shaz51 , @AlwaysMyself , @MissGremlin , @REDLINEZ750 ,

Acts 18

- Paul leaves Athens and goes to Corinth.

- Paul joins with Aquila and Priscilla - all three work as tentmakers.

- On the Sabbath Paul speaks at the synagogue - tries to persuade both Jews and Greeks.

- Silas and Timothy arrive from Macedonia - Paul devotes his time to preaching the word.

- Jews resist Paul's message. Paul decides to go to the Gentiles.

- Paul moves in next door to the synagogue - the house of Titius Justus.

- Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believes with his whole household. Then many of the Corinthians believe and are baptised.

- The Lord speaks to Paul in a vision: Don't be afraid. Keep speaking, do not be silent. I am with you. No one will hurt you. I have many people in this city.

- Paul stays a year and a half.

- Jews make an attack on Paul but Gallio the proconsul ignores them.

- After some time Paul sails to Syria with Priscilla and Aquila.

- Shaves his hair at Cenchreae as part of a vow.

- Priscilla and Aquila stay at Ephesus.

- Paul returns to Antioch.

- Paul travels through Galatia and Phrygia strengthening all the disciples.

- Apollos, a really good speaker arrives in Ephesus. But he only knows about John's baptism.

- Priscilla and Aquila take him aside and explain the way of God more accurately.

Paul's vision. On the outside Paul appears totally committed to preaching about Jesus. The message from the Lord suggests that maybe Paul was afraid, scared of being hurt and sometimes considered being silent. "Don't be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city."

Hi @DownMoreThanUp ,

Thanks for the update. As always your faith in Jesus is inspiring.

I will keep on praying for you, your beautiful wife and family. I will ask God to give you more sleep.

@Realness Always good catching up with you. i am doing good, miss my wife and kids a lot, and hope they come home soon. But others tired. Not able to sleep much can be such a drag going through.

The Sun is Shinning brightly.

Soon i will see what i am doing.............so hard like this.

psalm 118:14

for the lord has given us this day let us rejoice in it

@Realness thank you for what you put up on here and the time you spend breaking it down, the world needs more like you

It is amazing Family. since

Monday have gone through a major renewal process Jesus helped us set up between each other. To work on each others life.

Anyhow try to do my bit, work dad said NOT GOOD on SABBATH. But My wife wants me to do this say.

Mentally have been doing so good them helping me from afar and me going through this process with Jesus alone. really NEED that pray a lot for US all.

So good getting rid of all those hot emotions i got hurting and being hurt along the Way. simply love my rebirth, growing in Him needing Him and trusting Him also when everything seems to go wrong. And only faith in Jesus keeps you going.....

tell my wife is going okay. She is happy, and am, but hungry, thirsty, and in the dessert until she comes Home again. Hard dying to doing it wrong while trusting it right. All people of faith struggle with the religious people making THEIR lives miserable with promises that NEVER happen, struggling here at the moment.

For had not been drinking but fasting. Living The word as do. thought if apply the spiritual principles of The Word of God to my physical reality it ought to work. And it sure did. A hour 'work' harvested an Eternity MEETING JESUS.

But God REALLY WANTS US TO LET GO OF EVERYONE WE LOVE AND ONLY LOVE JESUS and no one else, ask Him to love ALL Those others. For as it is praying for others often does not work for sin hinders our prayers. Such can be really hard when you love and miss each other a lot.

Please pray for Jesus hurting OUR HELL us hurting PLEASE. This is how Jesus lives our world sinful.....in our life together and I may wail with Him my Joy seeing that corrected dying to my wrongs His love for me.

Love Jesus SO much. He makes EVERYTHING right. His Way. Not ours! Big lesson needed Down here

So good that you are doing so much better than late last week and earlier this week @DownMoreThanUp . I can also notice in your writing style such a difference between when you are in distress or when you are more regulated. 😍😎 (which is completely understanding! just noting how much it externally can be seen that you’re doing a lot better within yourself and emotional regulation despite the enduring pain)

How does it feel for you, knowing that your wife is feeling a bit less burdened currently and is having some self-care/respite for herself? I wonder if that could be a regular thing she could “schedule in” time-away in the future? I know a few people with severe MH who go into respite care for a week or two routinely throughout the year to give both themselves and their family a break from the emotional load of being a carer. 🤗. The family always look forward to when they come home again after the respite week, because they feel internally-refreshed and miss them! I also know others who have family with high emotional-support needs who find living nearby but separate really helpful so they can still “go home” to their own quiet space, but are also close enough to pop over whenever needed (and for just social visits too!) - a little less dependency than if living around each other 24/7. Not sure if either of these would be things to consider in the future, just noting some possible solutions I see around the place. 🤗

Is there a way you could increase the number of social connection supports you have?

Of course the forums here are one way you already have! 😃
