A little background... The St Louis Ammachi satsang meets at the same time as his (Tabitha's "hubby" sans roomate)dharma group on Sundays... Since I have found out about the satsang I have been asking if he would stay with the kids and let me go to satsang...Every other Sunday,so we can trade off fairly...I have already gone to Amma in prayer and in email and in snail mail about this--several times I am sad to say. But lately it has seemed the harder I try to do things--like go to satsang, or become more self-sufficient, the more he is clinging to me staying here in a bound sort of way... Dear Tabitha ~ have no worries ~ your name will be on the prayer list this week and through August 31. On August 31, I will be starting the list over, because after a bit (it has been six months since the last time I started the Prayer List over), the list gets a bit unwieldy, with different time-frames for different people. Do not be discouraged about not hearing back from Amma. I have written to Her about my illness and did not receive a written response. But what did I receive? So many of my brothers and sisters here on the digest "taking me with them" in their thoughts and prayers when they went to see Amma, others sending me Devi Bhava water and petals, and more seva from Amma, which is seva I can do, even though I am ill. So Amma does answer us; it is just not always in words. Your situation sounds difficult. What about getting a baby sitter once a month so you can at least attend satsang that often. 2 and 4 do not seem too young for baby sitting, especially if it is in your own home, and your hubby/roomate is there in case of a problem. And please, to you and everyone, never feel a prayer request is too mundane or petty or small. Our needs are not small to our Mother, whatever they may be.
