Quick update on my Mom’s situation. She has been released into my care at home and has been with me since Thursday.

We have our first court hearing tomorrow morning (Tuesday) on the conservatorship that my sister is wanting. Please keep us in your prayers. Conservatorship is everything, and even though my Mom wants to be with me, and I want her to be with me, whomever ends up with conservatorship could move her at any time. All I want to do is take good care of my Mom. Thanks so much 🙏💕

@bethany was looking for your original note to comment but couldn’t find it.

Ran across this written in my Bible this morning re scripture resting in the Lord and waiting patiently for Him (from Bill Johnson):

“Patiently has 2 meanings, 1 pain in childbirth 2 whirling in the air in dance. Both of these activities require incredible focus and strength.

We are to wait on God w/unflinching resolve & focus much like Jacob had when he wrestled w/angel. Same can be said of Elisha contending for Elijah’s mantle.

Intense focus restricts what you are willing and able to see, keeping you from seeing many things while opening your eyes to see more of what you hunger for.

Self control is not the ability to say no to a thousand other voices. It’s the ability to say yes to the one thing so completely that there’s nothing left to give to the other options.”

Thought that was so good ... we are to engage with God and actively wait patiently for the Lord, not falling into passivity.

Thanks so much for your prayers for my Mom. TWO HEALINGS TO PRAISE GOD FOR!

I have been praying with my Mom every day, and God healed her roommate’s broken leg! There had been no improvement and she was at risk of having her leg removed, and God worked a miracle!

My Mom was having stomach issues again, every time that happens I pray for her, and it happened again last night ... this time when I prayed, God instantly healed her! She had her hand on her stomach, looked up at me with surprise in her eyes and said “What did you do?!” Of course, God did it ... not me. PRAISE GOD!

PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HER MIND TO BE RESTORED. I have no wish for a legal battle with my sister and niece/niece’s husband over her. I wish them no ill... I just want to take care of my Mom... please pray that God deals with their heart motives.

If my Mother’s mind is restored, she can make her wishes known and that will be legally honored. 🙏💞🙏 Thank you so much!!!

Thanks so much for your prayers, everyone. On the bright side, the facility wants to help, they are testing my mother’s memory, so that hopefully she can have the power of decision to make her own wishes known and honored, even with the dementia. Please pray that she does well. This will change everything.

Thanks again for your prayers, they are so appreciated during this time. Hopefully I will get to a better place and be able to be out here more and praying for others.

Thanks so much for your prayers everyone. My Mom will be returning to the care home tomorrow, which is good news.

Unfortunately, it was month end at work when she went to the ER, I lost 10 overtime hours I was scheduled to work and am in the hole for Friday. So once again my paycheck is shortened due to the family emergency.

Since May, for 5 months now, through my mother’s ER trips and my stepdad sickness, hospice and passing, I’ve fought in prayer and financially could take the hits, but they keep coming, and I am getting to a very precarious situation financially. I really needed the OT.

I’m considering a woman’s offer to take my Mom’s dogs...I’ve spent 2 nights at hospital but have had to drive round trip to check on dogs every day... and today do not have the funds to go see Mom, what little I have I need to drive to see her at the care home when she returns tomorrow. I’m financially, physically exhausted and fighting discouragement. Need God’s breakthrough for my family.

My Mom is back in ER, she was vomiting last night and there are concerns about possible internal bleeding. Prayers are appreciated.

Update on my Mom’s situation.

I entrusted all of my stepdad’s financial information to my sister to help out when she was here for the hospice visit, & she took everything with her back to another state & started to pursue conservatorship, without including me. My sister is not communicating with me in regards to my mother’s finances or conservatorship.

Feelings of sadness and grief, I had initiated calling my sister every Sunday to pray for my Mother and Stepdad & she agreed for me to call to pray and would listen to the prayers and agree in her heart she said. I never dreamed she would try to seize control & keep Mom in a care home.

I want to make a home for my mother, please pray God shows me clearly the path to go. My sister and niece never call my Mom, I am the 1 family member that has continued to be there.

Please pray for the hearts of my sister, niece and niece’s husband. They took advantage of my stepdad’s passing. I need God’s wisdom and the right path forward.

Thanks so much everyone for your prayers. I am now done with my move, have a 2 bedroom place close to facility and my Mom’s 2 dogs with me. Today the facility will be discussing my Mom’s case, my sister wants to keep her in the home, and I don’t. She is functional, and does not need to be there, and I want her home with me. Please pray for favor and the right timing for everything, and for release of Mom’s finances to be able to take care of her!

There is so much grief in my heart. I am grieving the loss of my stepdad. I am grieving for what my mother is currently going through. All I want is to take her home and make a home for her.

I spent the past 4 days and nights with her at the care home, holding her as she grieved at night. I’ve an inside view now, and I don’t want her there. I sill believe she needs to be with family.

She is also starting to wonder if God has abandoned her, she’s lost her husband, dogs, and home all at once.

Please pray for a miracle, that God makes a way for her to be with me. She needs to be with family that loves her. I don’t want the hardest time of her life, at 80 years of age, to be compounded by her being in a carehome. Needing some miracles from God and a path forward.

Also please pray for protection from Covid, a nurse there just came down with Covid, don’t want the facility to be locked down to where she can’t see me, or for her to get Covid and they stop me from seeing her 😭💔

So good: “As you wait on God for your promises, it is imperative to keep rest at the forefront of your mind.
Let it be your foundation and you will find your endurance increases 10 fold. The enemy wants you to feel frustrated with your current circumstances, but instead, you should find a way to look from a different perspective. What can I be thankful about?
Focus on the good. Adjust your thinking towards God rather than your Goliaths. Say something good out loud. Speak it and don't hold it back. Sometimes this shakes the discouragement off you.
You are here for a reason.
God is with you. Don't ever forget it. Peace and a positive perspective will give you the endurance you need.
And one day, you'll feel the joy of promises fulfilled.
But remember that you are allowed to feel joy right here, right now in the waiting.
This sets you free.
Even in the corridors of a prison cell, your heart can sing.”
