May 29, 2017 at 7:47 pmWow! Awesome to hear that! Praise the Lord!!! I really bless you and pray that what ever is it you need and when ever it is, God will provide and give you peace!
Thanks for your prayer and words too. I find myself in such a fatigue.. like complete lack of energy, and it messes up my mind. But remembering both of your words I told the enemy to take his lies about me and to me and leave. And I trust that allowing this fatigue God knows there’s room for it now. So I go to sleep and thank the Lord for answering that prayer of yours about a restorative sleep. I pray you to have one too and that the Holy Spirit would feed your spirit even when asleep.
The Lord bless you and keep you..

I am praying for you and your sweet children that God would carry you through this time and that he would continue to give you his supernatural strength that Paul talks about in Ephesians 1: 18 – 20. ” I pray that the eyes or your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Jesus from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, …”
Be strong and courageous sister. God is with you and will guide you through this.

May 30, 2017 at 6:22 pmThank you Andy, thank you Rebecca!! ❤️ God bless you too! I try to remind myself of the importance of gratefullnes. It’s amazing how it lightens the heart and mind when focusing in giving thanks and being grateful. Trying not to forget it.
Today I’m especially grateful for my sweet kids. How they love each other and have a special relationship. How my babygirl giggled just because she saw her sister. 💞 And how she’s developing and learning skills. And how they trust me and lean on me when they have worries. I’m privileged to be their mom although I often feel incomplete, incapable and helpless. I love them so much! And how much more and better does our Heavenly Father love them and all of us. ❤️

May 31, 2017 at 7:01 pmSister Tuuliamaria,
I was listening to this song you posted and remembered some of my prayer experiences like 2 Corinthians 12:13. When I have prayed for you there have been a few. I don’t normally share these experiences but this one may mean something…When I was praying for you one time, I was taken to a place where I saw a lady,I think she was talking or pleading with our Lord, she saw me standing behind, a little way, she ran over to me, pulled me in close, hugged me and thanks me for supporting you. She was so overjoyed that I and others were praying for you. Her gratefulness was overwhelming for me. It was not a dream, it was like looking through water, but feelings it. She must have loved you greatly and you must mean the world to her.
Anyway, I wanted to share.
Also really love oh my soul link above

June 1, 2017 at 9:22 pmWow, thanks Andy for sharing that! Immediately I got a feeling that might be my sister. She also means a world to me. And I know she prays for me and for those who pray for me. Shat an encouragement. And I am too so gratefull for your prayers! Still I’m at awe of all this support and love and uplifting. It’s unbelievable! THANK YOU!!
Thanks for the links also! Loved the songs! That’s been one of the most important scriptures for me: “be still and know that I’m God.” Sometimes I’m so confused or tired that I don’t know how to pray and what to do. And sometimes I feel like doing and saying a lot more that I shoud. Those times this is very comforting. “Be still. I am God.” What else would I need when he’s fighting for me!
Psalms 4:9

June 1, 2017 at 9:43 pmI think sometimes God says take a step of faith out to me and it can be like but I am holding on to this Clift and there is nothing below and he says but I will catch you, or I’m going to take a dive without any water and he says on the way down I’m going to fill the pool with water, or come and walk out on the water with me and I’m like but what about this, or I dont think i can, but he says come, and as you do you see it possible.
Thanks for the prompt with the casting crowns – Can’t get enough right now 🙂
God bless your family and may God strengthen you so when the time comes you can indeed tell a story in a book that will inspire and encourage others. I will pray for this in Jesus name.tuulimariaPrayers: 179Requests: 2
June 2, 2017 at 7:21 pmExactly! If you see it when you take the step, it’s not faith. There’s no need for faith when you see the hand, the water or what ever. You see it BY faith however.
Yea.. Listening to Casting Crowns is often like hearing some one sing about my life right now. The songwriter must have lived a little.
Yea.. I have to believe there’s some kind of happily ever after, something very good must come out of this. This kind of thoughts have helped me: Does a seed cry the fact that it is put under ground into the dark? That is why it exists in the first place. It was never meant to stay as a seed. It’s meant to die in order to grow something beautiful out of the ground. My hope and prayer is that this is the reason for the darkness I’m in.
Something happened to me yesterday.. (and just now writing this it reminds me of what you prayed earlier this week!) I was actually confused about it and still am unsure if it’s real.. I suddenly realized I had such peace about the most difficult issue in all this! It has to do with the difficult situation couple of weeks ago. It’s made me so anxious. But that situation that I couldn’t avoid completely made me think about something very much. It made me so uneasy, even afraid at first.. But then suddenly I was taken to look at it from a different point of view and it changed it. Like I said I’m still in kind of disbelief if it could be so easy.. and I still have lots of anger but I realize it is natural and healthy. But in a way I feel like I have been set free!! Still on monday when I was asked if I could consider this thing that’s really hard for me, I was actually furious that I’m even asked to think about it at this point. But now when I think about it.. I still don’t like it but that overwhelming and devostating feeling and affect is gone! It’s difficult to explain.. but it’s huge! In action -I don’t know if it would last.. but those words what you just wrote about the leap of faith.. maybe it was to give me confidence that I just have to trust it’s real.
(I hope this is somehow understandable. I try to avoid too many details.)
If this is real I might say it really brakes the enemys best weapon at me! It is the thing that holds me back, sucks all energy of me and causes most of the conflicts. And I’m realizing all this as I’m typing it. 😮 Incredible!! God is amazing!! Hallelujah!!
You know it’s remarkable that you are praying for me! All of you that are. It’s not a tiny thing, a drop in the sea. It’s huge! It’s important! I’m sure more so than we can imagine. So THANK YOU!! ❤️❤️❤️ Be blessed!!!

June 2, 2017 at 9:26 pmReading this I am reminded of Jesus when he says don’t celebrate that demons submit to you in my name, but celebrate when a soul is saved, what you write above about a seed is true, because your story of being a Godly women and walking his dark valley will surely help others and touch peoples hearts in a way others can’t, just because they couldn’t do what you have done. Being able to look at something differently is often an essential call from God and is a core coping skill, being able to look at the situation the way you have is nothing short of a miracle, it disarms the enemy completely.
Sister keep walking on the water, knowing what you are doing most can’t, but you can because of JESUS. His love and what he did for us gives us the will and motivation. Know we your family here are cheering you on in prayer, keep going keep doing what you are doing, this is your road of righteousness and you will be honoured before God on this path 🙂
When you say about casting crowns being on a journey take a look at this, I found it so powerful, watched it yesterday then couldn’t find it to send over but here it is now; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab8flhvMh58
Praying that you are filled to the brim with the Holy spirit tonight and have a joy filled weekend with Gods love around you. In Jesus name. Amen.

June 4, 2017 at 8:15 pmThank you!
That testimony is encouraging. And it’s kind of funny how it often is like that that when you say yes to God when He calls you, it really seems as if you started to move to the opposite direction. Like God is asking:
-Want this job?
-Yeah!
Then you find yourself somewhere really different and it seems like you’re not getting there at all where he called you and ask God
-Hey what’s the deal!? I said yes, I want that job.
And God’s like
-Yea, but you didn’t think you don’t need to go to school to learn the skills for it, did you?Right now I would like to ask you to pray for me and my parenting. It is incredibly hard to do alone.. actually not alone as much as separetely and while the other party has changed his values and isn’t committed to raising the kids due those values we used to agree on. That’s one thing and the other is my tiredness and the fact that I’m losing temper so easily. I feel that there’s just too much going on my head all the time and the kids reactions to the situation don’t make it any easier. And I do lots of reflection about my parents parenting style and how it shows in mine. It makes me so frustrated that I feel like no matter what I do or don’t do I just can’t stop repesting those harmful patterns. Almost every night I feel such a failure and that I make this even worse for my kids. 😞 We’re getting help bout I think I need another miracle. I don’t want to be this cranky mom always apologising in the evening that I lost temper again. I know I don’t have to be perfect and that it’s ok that they see me feeling and dealing with all kinds od feelings. But still this is their childhood and I would like to be more relaxed and understanding and supportive.
I can’t kerp my etes open.. it’s like I had sand in them so I’m going to get some sleep.
Thanks for praying! I need that!

June 4, 2017 at 10:51 pmDon’t be hard on yourself, its so tough, I cant imagine it but I am praying and you have got this far. Praying for your sleep tonight. I think somethings life is like walk a mountain and you have to sometimes just focus on the next step, recently I have come to focus just on the next day nothing further. I think you have know how well you are doing.
I think a cycle where you get things wrong and then say sorry is a good and positive cycle for children and learning for them. They need to know that we as parents are not perfect which is why they need God their father who is.
If I offered any advice, I would say this (but am not sure I am best for this):
God is with you and will continue to support you, you relationship with him is what will give you strength, hope and enable you to cope.
I know my wife is reading The Parenting Book by Nicky and Sila Lee and she really likes it
May be checkout mumsnet on the internet – it is a great resource and there will be people who may offer some really useful tips
Could you look back over time and consider what has worked in the past? Just makes some notes, could be part of your book, because it so hard to achieve.
If the children are old enough could you ask them or get them to help?
Anyway God bless. Praying now.SheilaTPrayers: 2920Requests: 24
June 4, 2017 at 11:08 pmThank you my brother Andy! God bless you for the encouragement to our sister.

June 4, 2017 at 11:25 pmMy sister ,
I will only address one area on your response which God is asking me to bring up by the power of His Holy Spirit. The Lord wants to deal with the issue below that you mentioned
” I do lots of reflection about my parents parenting style and how it shows in mine.It makes me so frustrated that I feel like no matter what I do or don’t do I just can’t stop repeating those harmful patterns.”Now what you are experiencing is so real and happens in many families from generation to generation. I will use an example so you can easily understand.
Abraham lied to Abimelech about Sarah being his sister… Later his son Isaac lied about his wife Rebekah being his sister, later the same lying spirit caused Jacob to lie to his father thus getting the blessing that was supposed to be given to Esau… See the pattern kept repeating from one generation to another.
so as relates to you we ask that that the harmful parenting pattern that existed in your parents that has now been passed to you be broken in the name of Jesus!! May the Lord set free from any blood line curses in the name of Jesus! May the Lord set you free from anything that was inherited that is not from God ! May the Lord give you strength as you parent your children. May The Lord by the power of His Holy Spirit be your guide as you parent your Children. Resources suggested by your brother will be helpful so take courage and stay strong in Christ.

June 5, 2017 at 6:11 pmThank you so much both of you! ❤️ Andy, I will check those ideas. You gave wice advise. I’ve tried to get the kids help at home but not succeeded very well. Maybe there are good tips in those resources you mentioned. Luckily I have friends, other moms who struggle with similar issues.
And we get professional help, me and the kids. But it doesn’t hurt to get more support and maybe new perspectives. Today I had therapy and it was so encouraging. I talked about this issue and the therapist said something like “You are doing a great job as a parent. I keep being amazed how well you cope in parenting in this hard situation and how you meet the needs of three children of such different ages.” It made me cry even when I hear my friends telling me that but still I have thought “oh they are friends of mine, they are supposed to say those things” and felt that I just keep failing and making every possible mistake. But love covers a lot. Children are so mercyful and they tend to remember the good things. Today I got a surprise for the kids and then my son came to me in the middle of play, hugged me and told me “I have to just come and tell you I love you. This (surprise) is so nice, but the most important is that mom and everyone is loved.” ❤️ They are just amazing kids!!Sheila, thanks for those words and prayer! There really is this pattern from generation to generation and I truly want it to stop here! In Jesus name I believe and declare it does!!
I’ve had a lot better day today. I’ve even been happy and cheerful, and enjoyed being with the kids. And it was good to have a little time for myself a while.
Have a great and blessed week too! I pray something extra for you from our Father. As I wanted to surprise my kids today, I pray that our Father whose love is perfect and pure, will surprise you somehow. 😊

June 6, 2017 at 10:06 amWow! Awesome to hear that! 😀
Often times when I write here I don’t have many of the things on my mind that I end up writing. I think that idea too was given above to pray for surprises.
I just had a walk in the forrest and suddenly these ideas started coming to my mind. Some thoughts I wrote down and for the rest I thought I’ll remember them if it is meant. Is it that the book idea is becoming real, I don’t know, but at least for myself it’s rebuilding. I think I’ll start gathering these thoughts in one place and see what comes out of it. If I get it done without making it a stressing task.
soundyaaPrayers: 3085Requests: 12
June 6, 2017 at 10:27 amI think sometimes God speaks to us like that, I have had it a few times lately when it feels like a flood of ideas just come through for people.
Remember your path you are walking is amazing and other need to know how and in sharing I believe it has and will continue change lives. Your story is inspirational and sharing it will help others. But I agree God doesn’t want the task to be stressful, so when you do it I pray it is really enjoyable and easy.
Thanks again for your words, I hadn’t spoken to someone close in my life for many many months, the last communication I thought was my last every. But just that day when you said that I had a very brief (15 seconds) positive conversation. Considering everything around the situation it was an incredible blessing and really really helped me.
God bless you sister, God loves you and celebrates you because of love for him.
Praying for his Joy for you this week in Jesus name. Amen
tuulimariaPrayers: 179Requests: 2
June 7, 2017 at 9:54 pmGreat! Thank you Jesus for that moment. I pray that you continue that work you are doing in this matter. Thank you for this present for my Brother in the form of this short conversation. I ask you to multiply the blessing of it.
I’ve had many little miracles this week too. In such everyday matters and such that you might think have no meaning what so ever. Just that they bring me joy. Like that I’ve thought about some storage problem since I don’t have everything put in it’s place yet in the new home. Then I walk in to te library and there’s this sign that says that take this for free, something to help to organise the kids books. I take them and think they are pretty ugly but I could fix them with something but almost regret getting them because I don’t know if I have the energy to do it or find anything to fix them with. Then the next day I walk into a store and see an offer of a nice wrapping paper that would be perfect for this. This kind of stuff has happened a lot and it seems so tiny, but I really feel it’s a gift that things just go so smoothly. As if someone had walked there before me leaving notes and gifts and signs to make it really effortless and easy for me. And someone has. 😊
I’ve had really nice few days and I feel very loved. So grateful. ❤️
