We just moved. We were looking for something cheaper since Alex moved out. The only thing cheaper took us out of Harmony's school district. We asked the school to let her finish the semester and they said no. They say her last day of school will be this coming Friday. Welcoming prayers. Thank you!

I am in a difficult situation. I signed a lease on a new apartment. I am supposed to move in March. But I don't want my daughter to have to change schools at the middle of the semester. Plus, just last week I saw a professor position open in Arizona so I applied. I don't want Harmony to switch schools for a couple months, then switch again. So today I withdrew from my new lease. They said I will need to keep paying until the apartment is filled. I cannot afford two homes. Asking for strong prayers. Thank you.

Alex has been unemployed for the last 4 months and staying with us. Now he is starting a new job in Nevada, which is very far from Ohio. We will not see him. I encouraged him to take the job because he's been unemployed so long. Asking prayers for Harmony in this transition. And she and I may be moving in a couple months. Into a smaller apartment with less amenities. Asking prayers. Thank you all!

I feel God is calling me to Arizona. I have been feeling this for a few years. And as time has passed I've realized there are a lot of tribes there, there is a strong doctoral program in nonprofit management, and at the same school a Native American studies program. I have applied to the program and am waiting to hear back. But this would take me very far from my family. And they are upset. I've told them I could live with them in the summers, but they say I cannot live in their home that long. I've proposed that me and my daughter try out RV living, and then we could move our portable home to North Carolina to be near them in the summer. They hate this idea. They are concerned. And I'm guessing they feel hurt that I do not want to move near them. But I feel God saying Arizona. Prayers please.

She is 8 years old, in second grade, and failing school. She hasn't been bringing home homework for a couple months, and when I ask if she has homework she says "no...I don't know." I reached out to the school and they say she has failed to turn in most her homework. My daughter says she's being pulled from class to meet with a specialty teacher when the rest of the class gets homework. I've asked her teachers about this, and about the opportunity to catch up, and they're not responding. They tested my daughter's IQ and said it's normal. So that is not her reason for failing. Welcoming prayers. Thank you!!!

Thank you for praying for Harmony. She got through the procedure. Unsure when we'll know the results. Asking for prayers for guidance with our finances. Harmony and I both require dental work. They told me hers would cost $1500 after insurance. I got mine done yesterday, and afterward they told me I owe $700 after insurance and was required to pay immediately. I just don't have that money. I keep trying to improve my credit score and build savings to hopefully buy a home some day. We rent. But this does the opposite. I will be required to charge this. I have no savings. I can ask Alex. It will create a long argument and more threats toward custody. And he is in between jobs right now. And he is staying with us until he gets his next placement We are just really needing prayers. Thank you WAVES!!! I love you all.

This is a small prayer. She is getting her veins checked today to see if there is blockage. She gets frequent headaches and the cardiologist wants to check her veins. We've ruled out things like brain tumor or vision issues. Her heart health is a bigger prayer, but specifically today I am asking for prayers for her IV. She has been traumatized by health care and jerks away now when doctors try to give her a shot. Praying she allows this, that she has peace and comfort. They need to put dye in her veins to watch the blood flow. Thank you for prayers!

Alex is finishing up his temp contract in Illinois and coming home for a while. I don't know how long. Maybe a week. Asking for prayers of peace in our home. Thank you.

She is constipated. She has been for a week. Nothing is working so far. She has dealt with this her whole life. They thought she might need surgery as a baby. And her body working harder with her already existing heart issues, the doctor doesn't want her heart working harder. Asking for prayers please. Thank you all!

I think my hair has been thinning. I know I have faced many trials in the last year. I wonder if they took a toll. Asking for prayers for my health please. Thank you all.

Alex is coming home for the weekend. I always wish after his visits that I had asked for prayers for our time together. This weekend we celebrate Harmony's 8th birthday! Celebrating Harmony's life! She's a blessing. Praying for peace. One of the reasons he left is because he said he was tired of arguing. But he is correcting and criticizing a lot. So prayers for peace. He also left because he says I don't obey him. He points out that a wife is to obey the husband. He sites Bible passages and stuff. But his demands often hold damaging potentials. He seems to have a lot of fear in his heart. So I often have to put my foot down. Again, this can lead to more arguments. Praying for peace this weekend, for a healthy birthday party for Harmony, and also praying Alex can continue to conquer his fears and walk in faith. Thank you all!

I‘m worried about him. I’m not sure what his involvement will be in our lives. But I feel he needs prayers. He’s choosing currently to work for a temp agency rather than find a stable position and stay put. He is far from us. He does not call. He rarely visits. He got defensive when I told him our daughter was sick and threatened to take away custody, blaming me for her illness. i told him we needed to stop calling for a while. Now he’s refusing to call and visit. While this is hard for my daughter I’m worried about him too. I love him and care about him. Thank you.

I have my divorce hearing tomorrow at 12:30pm EST. Welcoming prayers. My husband Alex moved from Ohio to Maryland to take a new job. He’s living in a hotel. I just started a new supervision position. Harmony (my daughter) and I have been busy. While I’ve been praying for my marriage and my daughter, I realized this morning I have not specifically prayed for this court date. And I need to mentally and spiritually prepare. I will be taking the afternoon off from work. The paperwork for the divorce isn’t as I think it should be. Welcoming prayers. It’s hard for me to agree to a divorce if I don’t want the divorce. Thank you (((WAVES)))

Asking for more prayers. My husband accepted the position in Maryland. We currently live in Ohio. He is scheduled to start in a week and a half. He plans to move in a week. While it is a full time job and it looks like it pays ok, rentals there for living are expensive. He will struggle to send money to us. On top of that his credit score is ruined. So he’s struggling to get approved for an apartment. He’s talking now about considering living in a hotel. Welcoming prayers. Thank you.

Asking for prayers please (((WAVES))). Tomorrow is the pre trial hearing for my and my husband Alex’s divorce. He says he wants us to separate and he wants to work on finding peace. He says he is tired of feeling angry. He says maybe after we take time apart we can come back together. Quite honestly, I want him to find peace. Prayers please. Thank you!

My husband has not cancelled the divorce paperwork yet. We are doing well at home. We are both holding our tongues more and being more civil. For the first time in a long time we went to dinner as a family last night and it was pleasant. He is currently interviewing for jobs across the country. He thinks he will get a job offer in North Carolina where my family lives (we are currently in Ohio). And he wants to move us all out there and he’s agreed to find a rental home per my request rather than an apartment. That being said, he still has not yet officially cancelled the divorce paperwork. We have no money to move, no money to pay the cancellation fee on our current apartment, no money for a deposit on a new rental. Right now he is only teaching at the university part time, I am waiting tables part time, and I’m occasionally working at the hospital. I know he wants stable work. But right now I feel our part time jobs are managing to pay the bills. I know full time job near my family sounds enticing but I still can’t justify it at this point. I would pull Harmony from school, I would switch her cardiology doctor which she currently has the best cardiology in the nation. It would be another move. And he has not yet recommitted. So welcoming prayers on all this! I think he really wants to try to move in like 2 or 3 weeks from now. I need prayers. Thank you!

My family is breaking. I really need prayers. I started two new jobs recently, a waitress position at a restaurant near our home, and a music therapy position which may only offer me work a couple days each month. My husband Alex is working part time as a biology professor. Whenever we go through a move or I become busy at work he tells me how unhappy he is. He tells me I'm not doing enough at home and he cannot stay with me. But coming from a different country he has difficulty finding full-time steady work, so I need to work a lot to make sure we can provide financially for our home. Well, I recently started two jobs, and these last two weeks had to work two 6-day work weeks in order to complete training for the two jobs. I was really worried the outcome this would have on my family. After I came home from my first 6-day work week, having worked a double shift on my sixth day, I got upset with my husband for having our daughter watch his phone for hours while he stayed busy on the computer. He said he'd had enough and presented me with legal separation papers. He said he had been thinking about it and working on it for a year, had sought legal advice, had gone to the courts. He said I had three days to sign the paperwork. As I was preparing for another six day work week, I only had one day off to do chores, errands, and take my daughter to her piano lesson, I told him I would not and could not sign the paperwork in three days. I told him if he were serious about this then we should sit down with a lawyer together. I wanted time and legal advice if he really was committed to going through with this. He stated if I did not sign the paperwork in three days he would seek a divorce. It has been a week now. He is still in the house. But every time I ask if he is willing to keep trying, he blows up and says no. I have stopped asking about it. His current one semester, part time teaching contract at the university is asking him to come back next semester. Part time would not pay the bills, but they listed many classes for him to teach. Today he told me they are asking him to stay next semester, but he stated he cannot commit because if another job comes along he needs to take it. He is applying for jobs across the country. He is looking for apartments in those areas. I suggested that he write back to his boss at the university and ask if they can offer a full time one semester teaching contract. My husband has suggested us living together as friends for the sake of finances and for our daughter. So I thought if he had an option to teach full time he could stay with us, we could have less expenses, my daughter would still have him, BUT if he is worried about his career this would also allow him to build his teaching resume and help him show on his resume that he is maintaining employment. I told him this could be a blessing for him. I even told him I would pray for him and ask for prayers. He told me he does not want to be with me, he does not care if he is sacrificing building his resume by leaving me and leaving his job. I told him I'm worried about him. And I really am. He's laughing at the idea of staying with his family. He's laughing at my suggestion of pursuing his career option. I'm so worried he will leave and he will take a new job in a new town and he and I both will suffer more financially, and he and I will both suffer more spiritually, and I'm also praying for my daugher's soul. He has left before and told me he would not return. My daughter was traumatized. My husband was very angry for a long time and very verbally abusive. I decided it was time to move forward and find a teaching job. One that would provide for me and my daughter financially, but still allow me to be a mother to her when she was home (summers off, winter break off, etc.). I took that path, and have been teaching for the past three years. I decided I would move forward, and if my husband was wise he would follow. He did follpw, and for the past three years we have remained together. I knew if I lost a job and got busy with a new job he would once again tell me I'm not good enough. This is a pattern. So I am once again applying for jobs with the intention of figuring out how to make life work for me and my daughter, and hoping he will follow, but planning to move forward regardless. I have applied for nonprofit management faculty positions in Arizona. I feel with my management degree, my years working as a volunteer executive director for a nonprofit spiritual camp, and my years working as a professor in music therapy, my combined experience may qualify me. But I applied for two positions, one which is full time and require me to relocate, and one which is part time and I can teach online which would allow me to stay here. I am asking for strong prayers. God once showed me that in heaven my husband and I chose to be together here on earth, and we were excited about this, and I was excited to help my husband on this earth. I have also had dreams of joining together with other WAVES (DeeDee and Eri) on land, as we are currently trying to figure out how to create camps. In one dream me, my husband, and my daughter, joined DeeDee and Eri on land together. I just wonder if there is still hope. I'm asking for strong prayers. If he took another semester contract (if they are willing to offer full time), if I was able to keep supplementing income, then, I don't know, maybe we can move forward? If he needs to leave I think he is currently applying for a three month contract with the VA in Illinois. So it would be temporary. Maybe we need a break right now? Financially it costs a lot to take a break. We both have ruined our credit scores, we both struggle to pay our monthly bills, this would only add more expenses toward a second home and toward child care, which we currently don't need. We are really struggling. I know everyone is struggling right now, so it is easy to try to find blame in an effort to find relief. So asking for strong prayers. Thank you PRAYER WARRIORS!!!!!! I love you all and bless you all!
