Prayer Requests 2-20-13

Who can we pray for today?

And it’s Wednesday, so don’t forget Gambia. 🙂

Psalm 134

1 Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord, which by night stand in the house of the Lord.

2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.

3 The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

  3. Thanks, 6 Arrows. I will be offline starting tomorrow until I get back.
    Update: Bipolar has decided that he will not be participating in this weekend’s activities because Sister and I told him that the plan was to address some of his bipolar issues as well. He is back on his meds, but He does not want accountability. Sister and I are taking steps to evict him from mother and Step Dad’s house. many of the problems revolve around brother. There are acxtually more servfices available to him on a faster track if he is homeless. Mother and step dad are afraid of him. Mother is the rope in a tug-o-war between bipolar brother and step dad. Brother made appointments with mom’s 2 doctors for Mom and sister and I to discuss mom’s meds on Friday. Brother and his wife will not be there. We will at least be able to address on the non-brother related issues and keep him uninvolved. Getting Mom to evict brother will be a harder sell. I am waiting on a call from the head of the mental health case manager to give/get some information. I probably will not get much information because he is an adult and has to consent to just about everything, but He has compartmentalized everything because he does not want the family involved in his plan od care because he does not want to get better of be accountable. We are going to exercise some tough love. He does not want to confront us or deal with it this weekend because he does not want to be under 72 hour lockdown for a psych eval if we have to call the police. In the last day, he has talked to all of us individually to push out buttons and inform us that he won’t be participating. That will make it easier for us to sort through Mom’s meds and other issues, but it will be more difficult to address his issues which drive a lot of this. he thinks he can walk pback in and continue with his ultimate plan which is to get rid of step dad.

  6. Update: Sister and I were uninvited to Mom’s, so we are not going. Everyone figured out that there was going to be accountability for all four of them and bipolar brother bailed for the weekend. Now that brother has made himself absent for the weekend, now everything is fine and we don’t need to come. It was clear that we had no intention to beanyone’s ally against anyone else. Mom doesn’t like the tough love approach to bipolar brother so there is no point in going. They don’t really REALLY want our help. Any of them.
    Sister and I canceled our hotel reservations.
    It grieves me, and I will continue to pray for them, but I have maintained my emotional distance for years. Because of stuff like this. Sister is feeling quite emotionally beaten up. Brother really said some hurtful things to her this morning. He said things that he intended to be hurtful to me, but I was emotionally prepared for it. I don’t feel much of anything really. Just a grieved spirit. It does not have to be as hard as they are making it for themselves. Thank you for all of your prayers.
