The other two were norc2admale2809d  He falied to do a Total Corc2adtic2adsol.  Which is critc2adic2adcal.  My life is so difc2adferc2adent and now I cane28099t conc2adcenc2adtrate, I canc2adnot feel the Lord with me and if I hear his name I feel rage.  He has cost me so much money and I am disc2adabled from other illc2adnesses that started when I was only 22 years old.  I could hanc2addle the sufc2adferc2ading in my body, but my mind?  Why is this.  I had a phoc2adtoc2adgraphic memc2adory and now I have nothc2ading, I was a spelling chamc2adpion and have trouc2adble spelling simc2adple words, I could write letc2adters very well to anyc2adone and now I canc2adnot withc2adout it takc2ading four times as long.  I am losc2ading my abilc2adity to write by hand and I always sent cards to peoc2adple to cheer them or whatc2adever they needed.  I am so late on symc2adpac2adthy cards, ite28099s awful.  He has destroyed my mind.  I am on the 5th medc2adicac2adtion and most of them have dric2adven me out of my head.  I have been screamc2ading, cryc2ading, etc.  That is not me.  This has been going on since May 24th, 2011.  I wanted to file a malc2adpracc2adtice suit against him, but I have no energy left in my body as I have to think about everyc2adthing I do which exhaust me do much plus deal with a colon disc2adorc2adder that is incurc2adable.  In fact, everyc2adthing I have (two pages) is incurc2adable.  I have come a litc2adtle way in talkc2ading to God again and I know he has not abanc2addoned me.  I know this now, but I did not for a year.  Ie28099ve lost a year of my life.  In fact, more than a year.  I now have a e2809csteroid braine2809d which is not good.  When I awaken each mornc2ading, I do not know what day it is.  I have to look at my phone, then the calc2adenc2addar.  I have to get fluc2adids to keep my organs from failc2ading due to another diagc2adnoc2adsis with the colon.  I am very tired all the time.  I went through steroid psyc2adchosis for three weeks and thought I would lose my mind.  It was like being posc2adsessed.  This docc2adtor lied in my hosc2adpic2adtal records and said e2809cpatient seems to be high,e2809d then menc2adtions my e2809cchronic pain medc2adicac2adtionse2809d e28094 I done28099t take anyc2adthing for pain!  Nothc2ading as it did not help me with my chronic pain after being on opic2adates for 9 years.  Ie28099ve been off for 5 years.  I take nothc2ading, but thyc2adroid medc2adicac2adtion and insulin and then Lexapro for depresc2adsion.  How do I hanc2addle this e2809chandc2adic2adcape2809d with my brain?  I feel as though I have Altzheimers, but I know about it.  My Mom cries and my whole famc2adily knows I am a difc2adferc2adent perc2adson because of this docc2adtor.  He has not called and lied and said I never folc2adlowed up with him when I called him three times.  In fact, none of the docc2adtors folc2adlowed up with me after I called them.  I finally was disc2adcharged after 8 days and they actuc2adally said they didne28099t know what was wrong with me, but they knew I didne28099t have canc2adcer. e28094 I said, e2809cDocc2adtor Frac2adzier I told you what was wrong with me.e2809d  I was starvc2ading to death due to not being able to absorb nutric2adents in my body.  I went to Clevec2adland Clinic and they said my diagc2adnoc2adsis of myself was e2809cabsolutely corc2adrecte2809d e28094 I didne28099t know at that time my brain had been damc2adaged.  This Docc2adtor Poorkay who did the damc2adage told me I would not swell and he would only give me 5 mg. e28094 He lied and gave me 10 mg. twice daily. e28094 There is no cure for this and I can barely funcc2adtion now.  Please give me some advice on how to hanc2addle this.  I am sufc2adferc2ading so badly, I feel that I cane28099t go on some days. e28094 God bless you.  I could hanc2addle anyc2adthing with my body, but now my mind?  Ie28099ve been so close to God, Father, Ie28099ve seen him.  I saw his beauty and love and peace on March 23, 2011 e28094 two months before I went into that hosc2adpic2adtal.  I know He has a plan for all of us, but this?  How can I even go to church when I am unable to conc2adcenc2adtrate, attend mass or get out of my home to help anyc2adone?  I do not underc2adstand this.  I am very upset about what this incomc2adpec2adtent docc2adtor has done to me.  I also went through a colonoscopy AWAKE!  I told the docc2adtors that I was very hard to put out.  The whole hosc2adpic2adtal visit was a nightc2admare e28094 I was a very good, kind patient and had two priest come to see me.  I turned into somec2adone else after the steroid psyc2adchosis started, the tumor, the seizures and the Frontal Lobe Dysc2adfuncc2adtion started as a result of a Pfizer drug called Cortef. e28094 Please helpc2a0me. http://gleolrtu.com [url=http://egmomita.com]egmomita[/url] [link=http://mpnrumsqsfl.com]mpnrumsqsfl[/link]</description><pubDate>Sun, 17 Nov 2013 05:38:09 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Fri, Nov 15th</title><link>http://thenewgrace.org/prayer</link><description>I don't know, as an RN of over 30 years, in various&lt;a href=&quot;http://bvwxuob.com&quot;&gt; hipsotal&lt;/a&gt; settings, areas, specialties, there is more to be kept in mind than simple slogans.  They won't get you through a shift.  Intelligence, knowing what you are doing you are doing in the correct way, self confidence, these are more major factors in keeping RN attrition  people fleeing nursing down.  Its hard and thankless, the pay isn't all good.  The  thank you  of a patient is meaningful, but we all know they're more likely to write administration or your supervisor over some perceived problem, having to wait for something, and so on.  This is also coming up to Nurse's week .wonder if we'll get those tacky  angel nurse  pins again this year, or a  ..new pen?   Its nice to be appreciated. You go to work and do your job because of self integrity, not those little things and, for me, not slogans about how great and loved we are.</description><pubDate>Fri, 15 Nov 2013 07:54:19 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Wed, Nov 13th</title><link>http://thenewgrace.org/prayer</link><description>I am so totally pntisog this on my blog!!

Her name is Grace and she and her prteans and brother attend our Church   she has been a baby-sitter for my three young children.Grace has been very badly injured in the accident, and her condition is critical. She has suffered very severe head injuries and is currently in an induced coma in hospital. The Doctors gave her prteans very little hope, but 4 days on Grace is still with us and fighting hard for her life. She has started to show some positive signs   some hand movements, a cough, etc,   but it is likely to be a long haul, so please pray for a miracle.Please pray for calm and God’s peace for her prteans and family. Her mother witnessed the accident so please pray that she remains strong.Please also pray for the doctors, nurses and other medical staff involved in Grace’s care and treatment.Many people are already praying for Grace   her family and friends, our Church, other Churches locally and elsewhere, prayers are being posted on social networking sites such as Facebook, even strangers are praying when they hear about her.Please spread the word about Grace's plight and ask as many people as possible to pray for Grace and her family. Please ask God for a miracle and to help Grace recover fully from the awful injuries she has received. http://kpgknhgi.com [url=http://jqmdaca.com]jqmdaca[/url] [link=http://nknubv.com]nknubv[/link]</description><pubDate>Mon, 28 Oct 2013 01:36:23 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Wed, Oct 23rd</title><link>http://thenewgrace.org/prayer</link><description>Awww, you're welcome! You bring a&lt;a href=&quot;http://tsramusag.com&quot;&gt; loelvy&lt;/a&gt; spot of sanity, reflection and general warmth to my 11am  I can't deal with this financial document any more  moment.I have no useful advice whatsoever, being new to the blogging business myself. For the first year I just used my blog as a storage space for my thoughts. After a while I saw how much fun other book bloggers were having with their reviews and connections and publishers' events and free books in the post and thought I wanted some of that so I started commenting and commenting and commenting. And slowly people have come to check out my little bit of the interwebs   I still get so excited about every pageview, and even more about comments!I would say that bloggers need to decide what they want from their blog (you can see I changed my mind, both when I decided to connect, and more recently when I have changed the tone to be much chattier, trying to commit every day to something rather than just a book review every now and again).I don't know what I think about quality v quantity   I get excited about stats because I think it's great that someone has landed at my page. If even a tiny fraction of those people are willing to take the time to engage with me, that makes me happy. I'd rather have 40 pageviews and 2 comments than 5 pageviews and 3, because I know that those 40 will develop into more if I keep them coming back.Also I love your honesty, Aidan, the way you let us into your life but are also very upfront about your protection of Husband and the girls. You permit your personality to shine through but it's not overshare. A chatty tone and questions seem to be the most inviting (at least to me) for readers.</description><pubDate>Wed, 23 Oct 2013 01:01:21 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Tue, Oct 22nd</title><link>http://thenewgrace.org/prayer</link><description>My husband was desoiangd with esophageal cancer in April.  He has undergone chemo and radiation therapy.  Through this, he has found a true relationship with our Lord Jesus and not just a mental knowledge.  For that I am thankful.  God has had him in the palm of his hand and he has tolerated this treatment with little side effects although this has not been easy.  His last PET scan showed no hot spots or active cancer but it is still recommended that he have surgery to remove his esophagus.  He is scared to death despite his faith and prayers.  Our hope is that God would perform a healing miracle so that the surgery and life style change would not be necessary.  If he should allow this surgery to be performed, we are standing in faith that all will be well and he will be cured.  My husband is 58.Due to this disease, my husband was forced to retire; thankfully, he has been approved for disability.  These payments will not begin until December and we have taken measures to reduce our financial load.  So far, God has blessed us and provided but by my eyes and finite mind, this money will not last past another month or two.  I feel maybe it would be best to sell our house, horses, and goats and downsize to a more affordable dwelling which requires less upkeep, time and would allow us more financial stability.  I have a high pressure job but thankfully, understanding cohorts  have been supportive and tolerant of my absences when necessary.  The pressure I feel at this time is overwhelming and I feel myself succumbing at times into a place of  just let me hide in a corner and let the world leave me alone.   I have asked Jesus to guide me, strengthen me and show me the best course of action and to bless that action and give me the strength to do what I need to do.  Please God, help us.In Jesus name.</description><pubDate>Tue, 22 Oct 2013 02:20:49 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Sat, Apr 27th</title><link>http://thenewgrace.org/prayer</link><description>I had been facing lots of financial problems for last many years I am in prayer but I don’t know why this is happening with me I am having lots of loans taken today which has become very hard to return the balance amount day by day the amount is increasing I have no sores as my earning is little and my monthly amount of repaying is VERY  BIG I  try to earn more but it is no possible  I am unable to mange this big amounts.

A divorce would destroy the lives of a little girl and boy, but I see no other possible choice when she says she &quot;can't&quot; give him up; Marriage is ordained by God to be between a man and a woman, not a love triangle. Don't judge her too harshly, she suffers from a *very* serious mental disorder that without treatment and especially a strong walk with God causes this and other destructive behavior. We so desperately need your prayers right now. Pray for a miracle in her heart so that she will seek treatment from a Christian psychiatric professional and also (most importantly) turn back to the Healer of our souls.</description><pubDate>Sat, 01 Oct 2011 21:13:42 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Mon, Sep 26th</title><link>http://thenewgrace.org/prayer</link><description>Please keep us in your prayers.

Oh I can't do this without You, nor would I want to. </description><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jan 2011 08:59:04 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Fri, Jan 7th</title><link>http://thenewgrace.org/prayer</link><description>Father, please heal me of the pain and wounds of my earthly father, and the brokenness of my family of origin. I needed a father to lead me, encourage me, a mother to know me, protect me, love me. I find even today when people 'let me down,' or deceive me, I get angry like a child, like i used to at my parents, and my heart screams 'it's unfair.' Oh I need to be healed, for myself, and for others I treat contemptibly when they let me down. Whoever reads this, please pray for me right now. Please. I really need your help.</description><pubDate>Fri, 07 Jan 2011 22:57:35 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Wed, Dec 29th</title><link>http://thenewgrace.org/prayer</link><description>Father, I just want to praise you and thank you for the way you use others to encourage and bless us.

We were so blessed and can't thank you enough.  May God restore you with even more than what you have blessed us with!

It's amazing to watch the young get up and obey You in a way that some adults refuse to do.  Thank You for their example, and we pray that You would give them Your Holy Spirit, so they each may have power over sin and be FILLED with Your life-giving, life-leading Spirit.  We know from Your Word that Your Spirit is for children (Acts 2), and we praise You for not withholding that good gift from them!  I know at least one more child who is considering baptism; please help her to know herself and whether she's truly Yours . . . if she is, help her to treat You as Lord by obeying your commands.  Please use these lives for Your glory and to spread the gospel!  In Jesus' name, Amen.</description><pubDate>Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:32:37 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Thu, Oct 7th</title><link>http://thenewgrace.org/prayer</link><description>Lord deliver me from fear and anxiety.
