@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter it's 3am here and I'm fully awake - didn't sleep last night, and ended up sleeping for many hours during the day, which explains my not being sleepy right now!
there seem some similar experiences, yes
for our part, we eventually gave up trying to keep channels open....people see what they see, and it became more than worth it to keep explaining - the judgements come all the more!
God has provided us with some AMAZING supporters, via DingDash - people who not just pray from afar, but encourage us and love us in ways you'd only normally expect from people you've physically met
God is good, and those that need to know the truth of our journey hold us up as good examples of faithful people...but it isn't always possible to go into enough detail with everybody
we've been walking in faith for well beyond a decade, any many don't do well seeing how we live, because it isn't the norm
it's taken a while, but we're ok with that
thanks for your prayers and words!
@MaryMamuzich @tanjaostman God is good! π
We make our choices, but many people haven't liked some of ours
That's okay, cos they're missing out, not us ;-)
@MaryMamuzich @tanjaostman it's very bizarre! I've only had flu a few times. The last time was a moving day, in the snow....which we had to do in our own - there was no help and no possibility of delaying....
@StevenBerry @Olamide there's always hope
@davereimer amen thanks Dave
@tanjaostman very true!
@tanjaostman we have no family on either side in our lives. And no local friends...it's just us, as it's been for over a decade now
@tanjaostman no - no help with housekeeping
Painful sides when I blow my nose. I haven't coughed much, but when you do MAN is it agressive - it catches you off guard (I've been so careful to breathe through my nose as much as possible, although a runny nose has frequently kicked that one into touch)
Haven't had painful sides (from coughing) like that for MANY years
Steven has nearly lost his voice, and is feeling generally run down
Nathan struggling with temperature fluctuations
Peter is looking run down, and is very slow (we miss his joyous smile! :-( )
Jo is perking up a bit, but her cough, while pretty mild, is causing her upset
I even went outside to empty a bin...very slowly, and cos we couldn't get any more in it!!
I'm hoping these are positive signs, but I'm equally aware that good moments are followed by bad ones, so none of us are taking any improvements for granted
@tanjaostman tea tree oil is simply amazing! We will look into that room infuser thingy you mentioned at some point
@MaryMamuzich first shave in a week too...my beard had grown so long it had already turned soft!!!
@MaryMamuzich Thankyou
@Kruselady Thankyou
@Cherishingsparrows2020 Thankyou
@KarlGessler thank you
@MaryMamuzich amen. Thanks Mary
With ajo and I both coughing last night, I got up at 2 am to go breathe in tea tree oil vapour...after 30 minutes of a string dose of that, I finally started to breathe without wheezing.
Am now utterly exhausted as I tried sleeping for a few hours on our recliner sofa, so I could stay a little more upright
Nathan couldn't get warm last night, neither could Peter. Nathie actually went off to bed in two jackets, a thick winter coat and hat!
Steven is just very low, with mild symptoms kicking his butt.
For all of us to be I'll at the exact same time, is simply not something we've ever experienced previously. It is making everything even more complex!
Ongoing prayers would continue to be very welcome.
