Question:
I've debated starting this thread for the past two weeks.
As some of you may know, my life hasn't exactly been fairy tale-ish. I thought that some of that was changing. The circumstances did change, however new ones have come up to take the place of the old.
I am not willing to give details on here. I am asking for prayer. For my sanity, for wisdom, for safety, for those who are here in person supporting me, for grace, for cooler heads to prevail, for good to come of evil, for light because the world is incredibly dark right now.
To top all of that off, I am now talking to Guthrie (GMartin2R) again. For those who don't know the history there, we used to be friends and more than friends. Contact was abruptly cut off for 2 1/2 years because of an ultimatum from my father. Now that I am not under his authority, we are back in communication. It is good. It is difficult. Prayer is appreciated.
Thank you,
Katie
Answer:
I am praying for you and for Guthrie, Katie. God has brought you through some tough times in your short life, and He will never fail you.

i'll pray for you.
Answer:
Thank you. I had a long conversation with my pastor and his wife last night. I am slowly rebuilding a support base for myself. It is hard work. I think it might be worthwhile though.

Answer:
Update: I am going to see a therapist today. I have been out of therapy for almost 3 years. This is someone I haven't worked with before. A good friend of mine pre-screened her for me and she is affiliated with a local agency. I know she's not a quack. I'm still nervous. She already has some history, but there will still be intake things to do. I don't like intake. I find it stressful to try to remember all the details and dates. I am bringing my cheat sheet with me.
Circumstances continue to challenge me. There is much to ponder and grieve over. The reasons for being scared though are being quickly taken care of.
If you don't mind, please continue to pray. Recovery is a long road.

Answer:
I am glad you posted for prayers. You mean a lot to me, because I have some knowing of similar pain. This makes me teary for you.
You are in my prayers.
Answer:
Circumstances are continuing to evolve rapidly. I am in over my head. I am scared a good portion of the time now.
I see my therapist again on Monday. It can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned.
I"m sorry, I don't mean to be a burden or a pest. I just really need the prayer support. IT's all I can do to keep my head above the water these days.
Answer:
Praying, Katie.

I'll be praying for you Kathrine and your not a burden or a pest.
Answer:
Thanks Around here, I tend to be known as Katie. Katherine is cool too, but just as a heads up
I went to work today having not slept last night. That is fine, I have done that more than once.
One of the fixtures with a heavy base fell on my ankle. It is now swollen, and a little painful. I have iced it. That has helped with the swelling. I can still walk on it. Prayer for this too would also be appreciated.
Answer:
I'll keep pray for you for that.
The reason I call you that is I don't belive in nick names I call people by the names there parents gave them.
Answer:
I don't remember right now what the prayer requests policy is about pulling up threads that have hit the second page, but because this is really just a continuation of all of this, I wanted to keep it together. Mods, do as you will.
My ankle is healed, no lingering damage or pain, the bruising is going away. I can wear pretty shoes again.
As can be seen in other places on the boards, Guthrie and I are once again much more than friends. There are some decisions that we need to make. I need to tell my parents. There are many challenges. We know that there are no guarantees in life but both of us are willing to do whatever we can, whatever it takes to make this work.
Please keep us both in prayer. We need that support right now.
