..that the congestion and nosebleeds may ease and I may have a few hours of sleep. And some peace and calm in my mind and heart. I have had a really bad few nights and am so rundown and exhausted.

I am praying for all your intentions - and especially for all the expecting mamas on the board - many of whom are going through the same thing.

Thank you so much.

See below - begging for more prayers.

You know I'm praying, dear friend! Try to focus your sufferings on a soul in great need of your help - that will help ease the burden of carrying them. I am praying so fervently tonight that you will experience a great peace and joy in your soul!    from down south!

Jen - I know that you are praying - I get the "Alabama vibes"!! thanks my friend - you are helping to keep me going. I feel kind of like the hymn writer in that Sunday school song "it's me it's me, it's me o Lord, standing in the need of prayer" - constantly!!

Anna is lucky to have these wonderful loving "aunties" cheering her mama on to 37 weeks!

Oh Marilyn, I had a nosebleed day the other day...not fun! Know that I carry you in my heart and pray for your little Anna each time I pray for our wee one. Prayers for a restful night and continued health. And for Anna to stay snugly where she belongs for a while more.

Oh, Marilyn, I'm so sorry. Carrying this little gal sure is one constant lesson in mortification for you, isn't it!! You have your own very precious Lent, my friend. Prayers coming your way!

Martha

Marilyn,

I'm sneaking on for a bit of my alloted internet time and saw this request. I am offering up my head cold and third trimester general discomforts for you! May you rest well this night.

Thank you so much Colleen and Jen and everyone. I am still not sleeping - but I am more peaceful - I am managing to get a lot of praying done - I figure that for some reason I am meant to be praying now - and I don't get a lot of time in the day!! And the joys of homeschooling - I can stay in bed a little later in the morning - I feel guilty doing this as school starts later - but I figure for a season this is fine. I just feel a little "out of it" in the day - so we are really down to school basics - Math, language/writing/reading, music and lots of prayer! My older kids are doing a lot on their own - but they seem to be doing fine. And everyone is reading a lot. I know this will improve - just hate walking through the day in a haze.

I so appreciate your prayers - I have my 28wk appt and an ENT (ob wants me to get nosebleeds checked out) this week.

Hugs to you all

Gosh, Marilyn, I always feel like such a weenie when I complain about a cold/flu -- nosebleeds, ugh! I can't imagine.

I'll keep you in my prayers...

Marilyn, I do hope you are much better now, you are having such a lent, the blessed thing is you have a very special Easter coming up. I'm praying now and remembering you in my morning offerings.

I feel almost embarrassed to be coming back and begging your prayers again - I have a horrible virus and head cold and I don't know how to make it throught the night. I cannot breathe at all, have not slept for weeks and feel at the end of my rope. I am keeping hydrated but I am so worried about all of this starting preterm labor. Nothing seems to be helping. I KNOW God is in control, but I just feel like weeping as I feel so horrible. Please pray for a peaceful night and that I may offer up the discomfort graciously and not panic.

Thank you so much

Oh no, Marilyn!!!!! I am praying that your night is peaceful dear friend. Just keep your fingers on the rosary and every time you feel the temptation to *imagine* anything beg the help of your guardian angel and start a new Ave! I'll be praying extra hard until I hear that you are feeling better!
