Christian bandsters

If there are any Christians out there who are looking for special support during this time I thought we could start a thread related to this. It might help with those thoughts and doubts as to if this is the right thing we are doing or any other 'shares' that might come to mind. I could use some at this time in my walk.

Sister in Christ,

Valerie

  • Please recall the joke: A man was in a flood sitting on the roof of his house. Along came a boat and a helicopter. To both he said, "go away, the Lord will save me". So the man drowns and he's in

  • Read Dozys reply again and pretend I wrote it. She's right on.

  • Anyone remember when Joyce Meyer got her facelift? She said and I heard it on TV, when she was on stage, "If you're teeth were crooked, you'd get braces wouldn't you?" So why would plastic surgery

Welcome Anne31 - I have anthem blue cross blue sheild PPO, so i can't help you with your question about your carrier. But, WELCOME and we're glad to have you join us!

:biggrin2: Hey Gen!!! I'm still here and check daily...just seem to be in a hurry lately...go figure-LOL!!!!!! I was determined to go buy myself a $5 pizza today for my lunch while no one was home but now you've given me the encouragement to stay on tract...thank you and thank you, Lord!!!!

And welcome new one~~you will truely be blessed by this forum!!!

Pleasantlake and NeverB4 - y'all have touched my heart. Thank you!!!

I'm in a funk right now. I was talking with DH this morning and we are both in it at the same place. Which stinks - he can't help pull me out!!

I have lost my motivation to do just about everything! I only willingly go to church, cook/plan dinner, and play/practice my clarinet in the band.

Work, my volunteering with the band boosters, school - everything else - not so much. Right now I would quit them all if I could.

Exercise is falling somewhere in the middle. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

I don't know what to do. The last time I was depressed was because of medicine; not the case this time. This is just something I've never experienced and I don't know how to fix it. I feel really lost and alone.

Any suggestions you guys have, bring 'em on!!

HUGS and prayers!

Wish me luck. Today is my first appt to see if lap band could possibly be covered by my insurance. Please pray for me that it is. :glare:

Blessings,

Anne

Gen,

You certainly have my prayers!

Sorry to hear you are feeling so down.

Do you have a doc/counsellor who you can go to for help?

Phyl - you are so sweet :glare:

I don't have a counselor - just my Christian friends. I've spent a good part of the day in prayer, tears, and listening to praise music. The fog is lifting - there is always Hope for those who are in Christ Jesus.

My DH just scheduled a long weekend away for us so that certainly won't hurt! :Dancing_biggrin:

HUGS

Gen
