For those that believe in God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

As I sit here and type in despair, I turn to you Father God, I turn to you in a time of desperation and need for emotional and mental relief for the steps I must take to ensure my sanity for my own sake. Father forgive me for having to make the toughest decision of my life, walking away from an abusive, toxic mother that I have spent 5 1/2 yrs helping to care for. I have reached my last straw and I cannot take anymore. Father God, please provide guidance for me to make sound decisions for my future. Please allow the Andrews Center to find a way to keep providing counseling services for support during my path of walking away so I have emotional and mental support here where I live , alone. Thank you God, for the blessings you have bestowed upon me in my life and the lessons I've learned from the mistakes I've made. Thank you God for allowing me to grow and mature in the face of adversity in my lifetime. Thank you God for giving me a caring heart when I would have developed a heartless one if not for YOU.
Thank you God for always being there for me when I need you. Amen

Happy Birthday to my Brother

He would have been 61 years old today. I miss him more than i could ever express in words. He was a fantastic big brother and was always there for me. He had a kind heart and a gentle spirit. He helped those in need and always saw the positive in life. He believed in God and it showed. I know he is in heaven.

Brother...

If there are Harley Motorcycles there, i hope you are riding on one with a big smile on your face.

I love you. I miss you. I will see you again.

Happy Birthday.
Love, your little sis.

It has still been some time since I have gone to church service, mass. As a Catholic this bothers me, yet I have not " fixed it or myself". My beliefs and love for my faith have not changed, I think this started with me being angry with God some time ago. I don't even remember why now.

Now I have no idea where to start.... and when I think about ~fixing~ going back to mass I slight it off as having no time or energy to face my sins. They are not of the mortal kind, but they are my sins and I need for my inner soul, to get this right in my life. I think I will plan a trip back where I was raised, and go to church there. I have always loved that church......just sitting in the pews there is calming, and like home. Yeah, this is what I need. Thanks for the space to make my words visual, it sure is different than having them spin in my head. Yes, a trip home is I need!

Dear Lord...

Thank you for the life i live and the love in it.

I am so grateful for my blessings, and i raise all of my worries to you, and let go of them for you to do as you see fit.

Help me to lead a life doing your work, so that others may see your love shine through me.

Amen

Prayer request for my mom..she is having some serious health problems.

At some of the hardest times in my life, i've leaned on God and prayer. Recently, i found myself lost. I didn't know where to turn. Again i turned to prayer. But, something amazing happened that i want to share.

I not only prayed, i hit my knees in my bedroom, in the quiet, by myself, in earnest need for help. God swiftly came to my rescue. He eased my pain, He dried my tears, He comforted me like no other. Suddenly i was ok, suddenly everything was clear and when i stood up i was whole and a smile came on my face that had not been there in awhile. He gave me what i needed the most...He gave me grace and peace.

I have lost a lot on my life....my father, brother and recently my uncle who was my God Father. Sometimes this world is too much to even comprehend. Loss feels that it comes at every turn. But, He is always there, just waiting to comfort and put His arms around us. Through the good times and the bad.

I am blessed to remember that. I am blessed to reach to Him for strength and guidance and direction. Those here on this thread, you know what i'm talking about. We are all blessed. Let's not forget (especially me) that prayer will get us through.

I hope your families are well and healthy and good things for all this coming year. I have a very good feeling about 2016!!

Happy New Year.

I received a lovely new cross this Christmas from my wife...it is sterling silver on a "chain" made from lepidolite. The mineral brings comfort and healing peace; which I have had such a hard time finding this year.

With God the center of our lives and marriage, there is nothing we cannot get through together.

Gods love and peace to you all, now and in the coming year.

P.s. It is wonderful to see you princessbelle.
