PLEASE PRAY FOR MY SON TO ACCEPT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR STARTING HIS STUDIES!

I didn't tell Kelly yet that I am unable to pay for his round-trip airplane-ticket because it would devastate him. I want my son to be strong and healthy - even if on antidepressant. My Kelly wants to become a psychologist. Twice he failed but he doesn't give it up which is good. It is the third time he applies to a Canadian university - he has to be successful this time!!! I try to help him to fill online application forms, to find helpful websites etc... Success would be so important, it could compensate him for the great disappointment of not being able to visit me this year in Hungary. Please pray for my son to make the Edexcel test with good result - he has to re-sit this test because he got a grade E for his A-level Cambridge Examination and that is not enough to be accepted by any university. Nobody knew that Kelly had to take the psycho-exam the same week when he moved to Canada from Hungary after nine years of living here with his mami =me. Kelly kept crying every day from sadness on the week of the exam, he was distresses and couldn't concentrate on his studies. But official documents don't contain these human details, only the outcome counts. Please please please pray for my dear son to make a successful application for admission to University of Waterloo! If Kelly becomes a student, I will bear it easier that I cannot see his lovely face and cannot hug him this summer. Thank you so much, my friends! I always pray for all of you..

Feb/15, 2008. Hi dear friends! Thank you so much for your prayers, for the heart-warming encouragements and for the kind comments about my son, "Kellyman" (Aska!) because it helped me a lot to live through these last weeks. Yesterday Kelly and I finished the nerve-racking complicated and annoying application process for the university-admission, so everything is submitted, mailed, arranged and "WELL DONE" as Kelly's stickers say...Perhaps because of your prayers - I am sure they have a big part in it! - two days ago I received some financial support from the social department of the local government which was just enough to pay a few cheques long overdue for electricity. At least I don't have to worry now that the light and especially the heating will be turned off in my home when the temperature is minus 5-8 Celsius degrees outside. What a great relief!! I was thinking of you, Harley Ryder and I wish I could send you some money! But right now I am still in the red - this aid I got was just enough to get out of the danger I was a week ago! Be blessed all you tender souls who prayed for the betterment of my situation! Today is my dad's birthday, who already passed away twelve years ago. He was a very good man whom people characterized like this: "the goodness is written all over him" - and it was not an exageration. He always trusted me and had a high opinion of me. He always gave more to others than what he received and he did it without complaint. Now I hope he is watching over Kelly who just started his march with flying flags to the University of Waterloo! Please keep us in your prayers, and you must know that I pray for everyone of you on this site! I even pray for those who posted requests but didn't get any response so they lost heart and left. God bless you one and all abundantly with everything you need the most!

Update - about 1 month ago:

Oh my dear friends, please pray with me for Kelly (or "KELLYMAN" as Aska calls him)! The university he applied to, hasn't made a decision yet, but it will be done very soon, perhaps within a few days! The registrar's office already received the official transcripts of Kelly's documents with his marks and reports. All grades are good except of the very last psychology-exam (funny, isn't it?!) which was really bad - just the bare minimum for being accepted - but Kelly explained the circumstances in his resume, how desperate and devastated he was since the very next day after the psychology exam he was to move to Toronto. He anticipated the feeling of saying good-bye to me, his mommy, after 9 years of living in Hungary. I hope those people who are in charge to make the admission decision, have empathy for my son to understand what might have happened in his heart and mind in those days and - after seing his other good marks (he had only A-s and one B until the last exam in psychology) - they will give Kelly the chance he badly needs by approving him to become a student at the University of Waterloo. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY DEAR SON TO SUCCEED THIS TIME!!! He cannot fail because it would push him back into a deep depression again which I don't even want to think of! PLEASE MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS STAND BY ME STRONGLY BECAUSE I AM SO SCARED!!!!!!! Thank you so much: you already helped me a lot from the first moment I joined this community. I am very grateful, YOU ALL are always in my prayers! God bless every one of you my friends, and thank you from the core of my heart for your unceasing support!

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU, FOLKS! THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS, BE BLESSED.

Update - about 1 month ago:

I found out this morning when I checked the university's homepage that Kelly's admission was denied because of "weak mark in the chosen subject" and because of the "lack of upgrading his knowledge" in psychology. Kelly doesn't know it yet, my sweet son is still sleeping because of the six hours time-difference. I immediately wrote an email to the university's admission office to tell that Kelly keeps studying for the Edexcel A-level Psychology exam for the purpose of upgrading his knowledge in psychology and I asked them to postpone the decision until the last exam (Edexcel contains five exams altogether) which will be on June 16th. If Kelly learns about this refusal, he will be devastated and will feel futile to continue the preparation for the Edexcel exam.How much effort it takes even to be unsuccessful!...It is so tragic. Our life is so tragic. If I could, I would have chosen not to be born...The world is filled with arrogant, stupid, mean people sitting in lucrative posts whose "upgraded knowledge" was never tested, netheir their competency for making life-long decisions. Stuffed lives behind padded doors. Only the pariahs have to prove themselves all the time. I hate to live.

Update - about 1 month ago:

Good news! I found a way out for my dear Kelly. In Canada there is an "open university" called Athabasca University where everybody can start and finish any undergraduate (or graduate) ONLINE program providing credit-courses, and can receive a Bachelor degree at the end of studies. Later on - with the new marks received at Athabasca - Kelly can decide to attend any university as a full-time student without problem! Since my son and his lovely girlfriend want to work from home via computer, these online university courses can meet Kelly's needs. Especially if it means that he won't have to go through the same meaningless and humiliating process of the rigid and stupid system but he can start his psychology undergraduate credit-courses in the beginning of September! I collected and sent Kelly all the info two days ago. Fortunately his father supports this idea, he even promised to buy Kelly a new computer for this purpose (Kelly has "only" a laptop right now). I also sent a nice e-card to Jane, Kelly's beautiful songbird as I call her, in order to share my findings with her and to ask her encouragement for Kelly. Please, friends, pray for my dear son to accept this blissful solution which gives him the opportunity to get out at last from the stagnancy he is in for years! God be with You All, my friends!

Memo, my lovely Becky emailed me, and Marcus also, they just dragged me back to see the site ( I couldn't go into it because I was deleted) and I saw your caring-loving prayers for me and for my son and I just had a slight hope: ok, I can handle anything with these friends around... Anima tua helped a lot too - thank you, ex animo...- Bri

Diotima - 21 days ago: Oh on my dear dear lovely Kathleen, oh I am so sorry!!! I will miss you you so much, my dear soul! Thank you so much for what you did for me! I cannot express my gratitude as I feel! It was so moving, it was like a breezy touch of an Angel's wing on my face: giving me the heartwarming realization that I am not alone until people like you my sweetheart, feel for me and don't want me to stay on the floor... I pray for you and for your dear father who is before his long journey now, to make it with the least pain and the most love TOGETHER : he has to leave you and you have to let him go....

Lord and Lady, I ask of you to shine on Kelly and to make them professors see if they refuse him they will lose valuable psychologist who could do much good. May they remember how great writers and people like Serb Nikola Tesla who gave us power to light our houses, cook, use machines, Pupin and Bell who invented the phone, and many great scientists were not shinny in school but if they did not get the chance we would sit in dark and cook on fire in forest somewhere. Please let him get in the university. Please help him, blessings

Do not be discouraged brig, we will keep praying for you and your son. I know about sons, I have 2 and I have had to deal with their disappointments and evrything else. Father God. We ask you in the NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES that You grant Kelly the ability to get through this test. Father God place it in the hearts of the people who deal with the tests to accept his grade and to be humanized insted of being the unfeeling idiots that they are. We pray for brig too Lord that you comfort her and grant her the miracle of a financial blessing. A blessing that will help her see her beloved son. All for Your Glory IN the Name of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen!!!!

Sister in Christ, I'm sad to learn of that news about Kelly's admission. I don't really know what words of comfort to tell you at this moment as I, too am in a similar situation. The only thing I can say for now is that God is good all the time and that He loves us all every much. Therefore, I know that you and Kelly will get through this pain because of His love and guidance. Be with me when I say that the loving Father is bigger than all our problems in the world combined. Let us believe in modern day miracles that only the Lord can do. God bless you always, sister and your wonderful son.

Lord and lady, shower all your blessings to Brig, because she needs you to be strong for Kelly. May they finally meet and stay together. May they have no need to be separated ever again. And also may Kellyman have his wishes about university come true. His devotion will be one of the factors to make him excellent student. May he be the one of those students who do not pay for their school, and can live without having to deny himself things he wishes. Blessings

Father faith is what lifts us to the level of possibility and opens the door to God's promises. Lord, continue to strengthen their belief and bless them with your unyielding faith and love.

Diotima - about 1 month ago: Thank you my dear, many blessings! (I was looking for your beautiful name but I didn't find it - I forgot it, shame on me...)
Helpinghand - 29 days ago: Thank you ... My real name is Carrie ... And I just received a message from you saying I deleted you from my list??? I am so sorry this happened. I just want you to know my dear I would never do that to you or any of my brother's or sisters on here. Everyone has always been so wonderful and helpful to me and I love you all. you are like family to me. And now I have to pray it hasn't did it to someone else and they not let me know like you did. But I have noticed that things have been going a rye on here. Some of my answers to the prayer request are not being received and some time when I get an request in my emails and I come on the site to answer them it tells me request not found. I'm not sure if it is my computer or the site. Again I am so sorry this had to happen, But I thank you so much for letting me know about you. God bless you and stand with you always my dear.

Lord, please give Bri a loving and caring life partner. Praise to your name Lord God, thank you for Jesus. He is risen!!!!!

Diotima - about 1 month ago: Thank you Anitta-Titana-Tanita (teach=tanĂ­t), it is so good to see your nice face with that lenient smile at the corner of your mouth... Don't get tired of forgiving - it is the only way to change things for the better. Anything else is only a power-ride to prove that "I-am-better-than-you"... Futile. Patience and forgiveness - it is what all of us need, and you are good at it! I pray for your marriage to be longlasting and filled with true love! Bri
anim2007 - about 1 month ago: Such a game with words, Brigitta. Oh' yes I am not getting tired of forgiving, it just seemed to me that my husband had so many things he didn't like in me and had (I felt) not forgiven me, because I am not perfect either. We have talked and I hope we understood each others and know that past cannot be changed. Future is the thing we have to look forward to and learn from our mistakes. It does not help to say all the time "you did this and that, si and so", just like you say "I am better that you, you know nothing", even not using any such of words. I am really praying for patience and the way to love him so that he really understands that I love him. He does not want me to remind him in every suitable occasion and judge him what he has done, and I understand that, ( I woudn't either like it), it is not the way to love and forgive. We all have sinned and need God's mercy. God is good. We have good times together a lot, when I do not let my emotions and imagination to fly and spoil everything. Finally everything will be OK and the past past. I guess he was expecting me to run away, but I will not. Here in Finland we say "if you run away from the wolf you will meet a bear." I love my husband and he is with me and that tells me a lot. He is really a good man. I pray for his salvation. I have been so down many times but I think it is time to rise my head and look what God will do. Everybody likes a smiling face more than a depressed face. Blessings, Anitta

Diotima - about 1 month ago: aha! haha!!! Funny Finnish Femme Fatale... So you are looking forward to celebrate Easter iat the end of Aprily - lucky you! I was so sad this weekend - I miss my son sooooo much.........
anim2007 - about 1 month ago: No, not me, I am not an Orthodox, I just told for your knowledge, when Orthodoxes have their Easter, exept in Finland, they did have already. Of course you miss your son, he is your dear child, but wait God has something for your suprise. I was so dead tired in Sunday and everything was spoiled. Why is this happening to me, when I wanted everything be just fine. I cant' inaging if other families have same kind of problems, and I have always considered myself a shy, good person, and helping person, and maybe that is just the wrong with me. Lord, please help Bri, she needs to see her son, Lordtime and distance is nothing to you, Lord please time is getting short, and soon is summer......
