Re: Extra prayer request, please!

[Guest guest]

--Brigite,

You are in my prayers. You will get through this. You sound like me

in that I worry about everything all the time. Try to think of pretty

things and positive things, You know what I mean it can help, try

reading a relaxing story instead of all this medical stuff, it helps

to focus on other things, it is hard to worry when you are reading

about something else. It sounds like maybe that might help you to

stop worrying. We will all be praying for you but I know everything

we be fine, Love Terri P

Dear Brigit,

I am sending you blessings and loving energy that the universe will

heed your call and this loan will come through. You are not alone,

not for a minute, not for a second. We all believe in things we

cannot see, and besides God being with you, all the energies and

thoughts and experiences of everyone here will be bolstering you.

Perhaps if you can create a mantra for yourself, or a prayer you

already know, when you feel your fear setting it, it will give you

something to 'chant' in your head. something like 'I am surrounded

by healing golden light' or 'I radiate health and well being'

or 'God blesses this trip and makes each step easier' - it may feel

silly at first, but I do believe that our minds have much power,

and 'as you think, so shall you be'. Sometimes when we start to

doubt, just having a 'script' already in place and along with deep

breathing, can bring us back to that centered state. Just an idea.

You could also take a shoebox of meaningful items to you - a photo,

a locket, a rock, a photo, a quote - your little box of strength.

And I know much of your angst is over your kitty too - I sure

understand that one! - your kitty will be fine being in her own

home, and ready to snuggle up to you upon your return.

Your husband is going because he knows this is so important and he

wants to - I bet you are used to doing everything for everyone else

aren't you? It's your turn to be taken care of!

We are all thinking of you! expect miracles!!

XO

,

Your post is so kind -and this part hit the nail on the head! It's so hard to have a fuss (and such expenses) made over you when you're used to being the "doer" of the family!

None of it falls on deaf ears (or blind eyes), it's great advice -and I thank you!!!

Have a super weekend!
