My prayer warrior friends, please keep me lifted up in the next 24 hours or so.. My hearing for my workers comp case is finally going to be held tomorrow morning at 8am in Glenwood Springs. I am terrified of this, having to go and get up in front of a judge and be questioned by someone I've never met about how I fell at work and broke my wrist and hurt my ankle. Unfortunately, Devon ( My new husband) cannot go with me, as he can't afford to miss another day of work this week since he took Monday off after the wedding. I wish I didn't have to go alone. It scares me so much.

I will be driving down to Silt and staying at the Holiday Inn Express there for a few hours when I get off of work tonight, which means I'll be driving highway 13 in the middle of the night as well, since I have to work 3-11 tonight. Please pray for safe travels for me. Highway 13 is bad enough in the daytime in the summer, but in the middle of the night during hunting season it can be very, very dangerous.

God will see me through this all with prayer, and I pray for a good outcome for my case. I had been instructed for the last 9 months by my lawyer not to pay any of my medical bills until the case was settled. I have been constantly harassed by debt collectors for the past few months because of it, and it has completely ruined any bit of good credit I had left to my name. This has been really stressful for me, especially the incessant phone calls all hours of the day. I don't even bother answering the phone any more.

I just need this to all be over with. I really can't afford to pay these medical bills, especially with all the late fees that have been added on now, so I really, really need to win this case.

Also, just to be clear, I don't begrudge my employer any of this, I know it's not their fault that the workers comp company denied my claim. I love where I work and the people I work with, and I am so grateful that they have supported me through this and I still have a job with them after all this time. So many employers will get angry and fire you if you fight a workers comp claim like this and they have been nothing but supportive and I am so thankful for that

PRAISE HIS NAME. I KNOW THE FAVOR OF THE LORD IS WITH YOU. 91:15 CALL UPON ME IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE AND HE WILL DELIVER THEE. YOU WON'T BE ALONE. ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GIVE YOU THE REASSURANCE, AND PEACE, AND THE VISION THAT THIS WILL TURN IN YOUR FAVOR. YOUR BLESSED, WITH WORK, AND FRIENDS AT WORK, AND HERE. GO EXPECTING, IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, WHAT MIGHT SEEM LIKE A MOUNTAIN, OR GIANT FACE THEM WITH THE CONFIDANCE AND PEACE OF THE LORD JESUS. LORD GOD, WERE ASKING FOR YOUR DIVINE INTERVENTION IN THIS HEARING IN JESUS NAME. AMEN

Oh, sweetie! Your stress is evident in the very words you write, and for that, I am greived. :(

Alayna, I have prayed that just as Jesus is your Advocate with the Father, so He will be in court.
I ask that He stand side by side with you, go before and behind you, and speak the words Himself.
I ask that you receive His own justice, not the lowly justice given by men.
I ask that the judge's heart will be moved by the Lord.

The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes. Proverbs 21:1

I am praying that verse for you, little one, and for your safety in travel, and for your p-e-a-c-e! ♥

with a mother's love,
ellie

Thank you all for the prayers. This morning after the hearing the judge told both parties of the lawyers to have their finishing statements sent to him within 3 weeks, so it appears that there will not be a ruling made on this until November 9th, so I have to stress longer, unfortunately. When it was done, the lawyer shook my hand and said we'd be in touch, and that was it. He sent me on my way and didn't say anything else to me, since he had another case coming in right behind me.

When I heard the judge say it would be 3 weeks, I almost instantly felt like there was something caught in the back of my throat and I felt as if I was choking. I began coughing and I know I turned bright red trying to keep myself from making a disruption in the courtroom. When I walked out, I got a drink from the water fountain, trying to calm myself but it only got worse from there, and I spent the next 10 minutes as I was walking back to my car in a coughing fit that was so violent it kept causing me to almost throw up numerous times. When I finally got calmed down and called my mom she said it sounds like I had a panic attack which is what triggered the violent coughing. I've never had one of those before, but I've also never quite been in a situation of such extreme stress before, either. I guess the thought of me not knowing the outcome of everything for 3 weeks was more than my body could handle.

I had to go to the Target near there and walk around the aisles for about 10 minutes to calm myself before I could drive home.

I was able to sleep a few hours last night when I got the hotel, though I was struggling as I drove to get there, as my eyes were sooo tired. I had to keep shaking my head vigorously and slapping my self in the cheek to stay awake, even after I had been drinking caffeinated soda. I was just so drained.

When I got home this afternoon i was just so physically and emotionally drained from everything I had to lay down and take about a 2 1/2 hour nap to be able to recover from everything.

I think you all for your prayers in this matter. It's been very hard and stressful for me, and that coupled with the knowledge that my paternal grandfather may only have days left to live, and my recent marriage, I've just been stretched to the breaking point on everything and I just am not sure how to handle it all. Thankfully I have God on my side with me every step of the way.

Alayna, I will keep praying that the Lord places His justice in the judge's heart.
Panic attacks are so terrifying that when my friend Suze had her first one, she called the paramedics, thinking it was a heart attack! :(

I'm just so sorry, honey! Marriages, although joyous, are also life stessors, and combined with your grandfather ( :( ) and this situation...
I wish I could make you a soothing cup of tea, and a few dinners for the freezer, and clean your house and do your laundry.
But the Lord allows me to pray for you. :)
So I'll be happy with that, and believe me...I will be praying. ♥

Abba, I thank you for keeping this dear child safe while she travelled.
You are so faithful to Your promises, and to hear the prayers of Your children.
Thank You for this new life she has with her husband, and that she never has to go to sleep alone while she waits for Nov. 9th.
I ask that the judge's heart will be like channels of water in Your hands, and that You will move it in the direction that pleases You,
to bless your beloved daughter. Please give Alayna strength to wait, and the peace Your Son left her that makes no sense to human understanding,
but blesses beyond description. In Jesus' Name, amen. ♥
Thank You, Lord of all. I praise You for all You do, and Who You are.

Lol. Cleaning the house and doing laundry would be wonderful, but I know that this is something I need to do myself. Gotta be a good wife and try and keep my house organized. There are so many boxes and so much trash with all of the gifts from the wedding that it's a mess around here!!!! We're working through it slowly, but with everything that was going on this past week it's been hard to make any progress.

Hmm...I was going to offer this for consolation--
Our Lizzie was married 3 June, and she and our wonderful new son are still trying to find a spot in their tiny apartment for all the gifts! lol

So, I hope that's consoling, and not just depressing. ;)

Just as a side note--10 Nov was my nephew's b'day, so I will remember your date, and pray each day till that time.
God bless and keep you,
ellie

My grandfather passed away about 7pm last night with my father by his side. He's now in heaven with my Gramma, who was his wife for nearly 67 years. Please continue to keep our family in prayers. My dad called me and told me while I was still at work and I had a bit of an emotional breakdown at the desk. Luckily there wasn't any guests in front of me at the time. I was able to compose myself enough to finish out my shift, because I can't afford to miss any more work.
