Ginny, you are very hard on yourself. And please don't set yourself up for failure. If you tell your husband you'll give him a cleaner house and then find you can't do it, he's not going to be nice about it. {{{{{{{{Ginny}}}}}}}

Maggie I know better than to tell my husband I'll clean the house for a present. My plan is I'll clean and when he notices I'll say it was for his birthday. How am I being hard on myself? I am a sluggard. Getting up and getting active is difficult for me.
My daughter is asleep next to me. Her bed is next to the computer. I'm at her house because I'm supposed to help her move furniture tonight. Think I should wake her up?
My family wants me to find a psychologist closer to home than where I go now. Right now my doctor is in St. Louis and that is 2 hours away from where I live. I have a traffic phobia and don't want to travel that distance into serious traffic jams by myself so I've always had someone take me but now family members who've taken me don't want to anymore.
I ran around my town yesterday trying to find a replacement and no one is taking new patients in my town. And my old doctor I was suppose to see him last Wednesday and I called and canceled that appointment because I didn't have anyone to go with me. I know he'll be mad at me for missing the appointment. I've canceled once before and he got mad. And I don't know who I'll go to if I don't go to him. This is serious as I am bipolar and take several meds which can only be prescribed by a psychologist.
Hubby did say tonight he'll go with me on my next appointment so we'll see if he will follow through with that. He's been sick lately and that is a long trip for him when he's not feeling well. He hasn't gone to any away games for our son's football because he feels too bad and for him that means he really does feel bad as he never likes to miss a sporting event our son is in. He's even missed the ones that are in town because of the cold and not feeling well.

There are compelling reasons why you don't do much at home: You have a family who denigrates you with no provocation and you're not completely well.

Could you get someone from church to go with you if he doesn't? I'm thinking that there would be people who would be quite willing to help you in that way. It would give you a chance to build friendships at church too, because you'd have all that driving time to bond.

Ginny, I'm praying that you can find someone who take you to your appointments. Please check to see if you're getting low on meds and make that appointment first.

It's been a slow day. Not been feeling well so I slept most of the day. It is my husband's birthday. I didn't fix him breakfast. Two of our kids took him out to Shoney's for breakfast. I did fix him a spaghetti dinner. It's been ages since we have had homemade spaghetti and he loved it. I made it just like he likes it with lots of meat in the sauce.
My second oldest son came over and he ate with us which was nice as we don't see him that often.
I also feel kinda dreary about religious things. I just don't want to think about faith and God right now. Plum tuckered out with spiritual warfare and doubts so want to just forget things period for a bit. Take a break.

Faith: Choosing God's wisdom over our own ideas.
"The Bible says that our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is more valuable than purest gold."
Ok, I said I gave up then I did it again went searching for truth and wisdom. I really liked this article.

My 6 year old grandson just lightly jested he'll commit suicide in his basement. I got all over him to apologize to his mother for saying this and to ask forgiveness from God for saying it. Said to him, "those kinds of words are never ok to say and jest about!" God created you and he considers you precious in his sight.
God loves you J.
J apologized to his mom and is now trying to go back to sleep. He was up late last night, my fault I let him fall asleep at 11:00 pm instead of putting him to bed at 9 pm his normal bedtime. He didn't have school this morning and I'm babysitting. K, his mom is now home trying to sleep and J is restless.

Trish, J's dad makes suicide comments a lot. He threatened to kill himself and my daughter when she left him. She left him because she could no longer tolerate his verbal abuse and controlling ways.
J does good for the most part but I couldn't let him get away with that comment not even if he said it in jest.
I love my husband. I really do. Called him just a little while ago to let him know I was babysitting while my daughter slept. She worked a 12 hour shift last night and didn't get much sleep yesterday as she came home from a 12 hour shift to take her dad out to breakfast and be there for her son when he got out of school. Anyway, I do love my husband.

Such a difficult thing to happen, Ginny. That's awful that J's dad threatens suicide. Surely he must see what he's doing to other people by doing that! J (and everybody else) don't need that kind of behaviour!
You may not think so, but you are a strong woman, Ginny.

Hubby said today sometimes he gets so frustrated with me and then when I'm gone to our daughter's house and he's all alone he misses me so and wants me back home. Said though he gets frustrated with my behavior because I'm always sleeping he LOVES me.
I fixed him some hamburgers before I came over to our daughter's house. I'm babysitting again this afternoon and evening. DD is going to an amusement park with her 13 year old and her boyfriend and his 13 year old. A 6 year old would be the odd boy out so to speak. Getting on rides and running around with them would be difficult to manage so he's with me and we are going to go see Where the Wild Things Are at the movie theater. DD gave me the funds to go.

I know it doesn't feel like it but look at what you endure, without giving up, without losing faith (and don't argue with me on that one), with continued love and compassion for those who treat you despicably. That requires a strength most people don't have.
I think it's cool that your husband is missing you when you're not at home and letting you know that he does.

I think if I went through half the stuff you do, Ginny, I'd be in a heap.
I sleep a lot too, but you're there, helping your family, encouraging people, doing what you can. That's why I think you're strong.

Got up early this morning around 3:30 am. Began my morning by watching tv. Saw the reruns for the Next Iron Chef America then Iron Chef America. Then watched some religious programs. Hubby got up while I was watching Joyce Meyer. He wanted me to change the channel saying he hates that woman but I wouldn't change the channel and he got into the program. She was talking about being negative and how that is a choice and we need to choose to be positive instead. Hubby turned to me and said, "you are negative, you need to listen to her advice." I said, "yes I know and I will."
Called my mom at 7 am and had a nice long chat with her. Hubby said she called Saturday while I was babysitting J, my grandson and wanted to talk about selling the farm. She didn't bring it up in our conversation today and we had a nice long time chatting.
Then I called my daughter just to chat with her. She's worried about her youngest son the one I babysit. He told her his imagination gets him real scared that he sees things in his mind that scare him. He says he feels safer at her house than he does his dad's house and he feels even safer when I am with them as well as her. I believe this boy may need counseling. His dad told him he's the reason his girlfriend b roke up with him and his dad is so very negative and controlling. I think the boy has fears he's struggling with.

Counselling wouldn't be a bad idea for your grandson. Being told that he's the reason his parents broke up is an awful thing to do! Your grandson obviously feels the spiritual side of things. Sensitive to it.
I think the dad, your daughter and your grandson all need counselling. From the little that I know of the situation, there's a lot of dynamics at play, with a lot of them not being good.

His dad doesn't sound like a very nice man, if he's blaming his son for the loss of his girlfriend! Sheesh! It seems to me that he needs to see a Christian someone who is experienced in the invisible things of the spirit realm who could explain to your grandson what's happening and tell him how to deal with it or even free him.{{{{{{{{Ginny}}}}}}

I talked to my daughter what Trish said and my daughter said she and J, her son pray for protection all the time for her house. She also said that it is very possible he is sensitive as she is and I am sensitive to spiritual stuff. We are sensitive people.
I know I don't understand when things are crazy for me so if J is experiencing anything like I do and he goes to his dad's house where things are very negative and his dad is a non-believer then there is spiritual warfare going on for this little boy and he is not equip to handle it.
Things have been better for me since people said they would hold me up in prayer and be spiritual warriors for me. I am feeling better that the battle is not as intense as it has been in the past.
Today has been a good day. I've been up and doing and getting things done.

My lesson this week in my Life Group bible study is on Godly Wisdom. I need this. The scriptures she has had us look up really speak to me and I feel will be good to share with my daughter and grandson such as Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble.
And, Psalm 9:9
The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
OR 2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and discipline
Do you know we will KNOW the Will of God if we:
- Love God
- Listen to Him
- Obey His Precepts
And that a sign of a mature christian is as Dr. Dellanna O'Brien says, "Sir, I am afraid of no one except God himself."
And a mature christian:
- Can laugh in the face of danger.
- Keep a sense of humor through tribulation
Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the defense of my life.
Whom shall I dread?
Wish I had these verses rooted and grounded in my soul before my trials this last year and when I was actively fighting stress of bipolar episodes before years ago. Rooted and grounded on Christ and fear of Him alone and complete trust in Him to pull me through. I tried so hard to fix my eyes on Christ and trust Him but I fail when I am undergoing a mental trial.

I am not yet a mature christian though I've been one since I was 5 and am 55 years old now. I should be mature but I'm not.
