Ongoing situations: ME/chronic fatigue - accommodation/moving - relationship with manfriend - father close to death. Still struggling with energy levels, partly diminishing of light at this time of year in the UK, also noise disturbance from street/downstairs especially Saturday nights mean I cannot get to church Sunday mornings and usually am too tired by the evening to go. I don't always need earplugs now. God has told me to simplify my life, so I am decluttering my flat and giving loads of stuff away which gives me joy. I have put moving on hold as I feel too physically weak to cope but would LOVE to be in a smaller, quieter place with everything on ground floor level and within walking distance. I am concerned that I don't get isolated, but not worrying about church (perhaps it's not the Lord's will), so I am just resting in Him and seeking His face, reading the word and listening to sermons online and asking Him to connect me with those He wants in my life. My cleaner is a christian from church and we pray when she comes. I connected yesterday with a dear sister in town also single and we are very in tune spiritually; I hope to see her again soon. I find large groups a struggle because of brain fog and processing problems. My manfriend is the only one who takes me out each week; he has some mental/cerebral problems also but is a believer and a blessing despite his issues. Last week he triggered a lot of stress because of his behaviour but we have talked it through. We are just friends; he doesn't want to commit and I don't want to marry him, but I think we both find celibacy hard and I wonder where the Lord is in this, however he is the only one who helps me practically with a trip out, otherwise I would be going nuts stuck in my flat and feeling very lonely. Please pray we can have an equal friendship and that neither he nor I will dominate or control the other but work equally together for our mutual benefit and to glorify the Lord in our walk. My poor father, who lives 15 miles away, is getting weaker and can hardly understand me on the phone now; I hope to have the energy to visit him soon but it's a six bus journey. I may have to book a guest house overnight and am a little nervour but it might be a nice break for me as well, as I cannot manage holidays any more. I would love a nice holiday but would need someone to take me by car. Father is my priority at the moment as we have little time left. I pray that he and his wife will have one last Christmas together and that he will not die before then. I am feeling emotional pain at times but at peace and resting in the Lord. Sometimes I am troubled by what comes out of my mouth. When I am "triggered" by fear or anger, I struggle not to swear and worry that maybe I say things about people I should not. Please pray for the Lord to heal the fear/anger at the root of the swearing and that I can stop this language - it's post trauma stress. Any manifestation of control or rejection/abandonment tends to trigger me, and I know what is happening and pray. I am trusting the Lord for healing. He also said something to me about Dancing, which is hard with little energy. Not sure, but I really would love to dance and play my musical instruments again, but sometimes I try to dance in faith. His wisdom not mine. I am at peace and hope I will have an undisturbed night tonight. I have stopped the work for the christian ministry (one day) at present as I felt too broken to continue with everything going on. Just keeping life as simple as possible. Thanks for your prayers. I am more at peace than I was. Please also pray that the Lord will send other people to help me with practical issues such as shopping, travel, etc, as I don't think it would be good for me and my manfriend to become overly dependent on one another - not sure that would be healthy. Thank you and God bless. He is moving.
