I think Kym's comment leads to the idea that since many witches are quite pleasant, it's insulting to witches to call the JUDGE a witch! :D
Did I get that right, Kym?

Hey Dr. G., have you seen "Wicked"? Kim, I've read the book "When bad things happen to good people" and I hope that if you read it, you'll find it helpful. I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you again today. [hug]Quote:

I prayed myself to sleep last night asking God to restore my Faith and give me (once again) the strength to turn everything over to His care. I always have the hardest time when I get in bed at night. Do any of you other mothers do this .... lie there and think of everything bad that could possibly happen to your children when you aren't "there" to protect them? :rolleyes: I sometimes think that we moms endure one of the biggest tests of Faith ... turning our babies over to God's care, but then look at what Mary had to go through watching Jesus being sacrificed for all of us? Unbelievable!!!!
Today is (a new day) the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! :)
Love,
Kim
Yay Good for you Kim! :D I am glad you are trying your best to look on the best side of things and to hand things over to God. And your husband sounds like a great guy!:)Quote:

Hi Kim, It has been said that God doesn't give us more than we can handle though at times I admit I'm not so sure. With faith, we can face anything. Support and understanding from friends sure does help too. As I often tell Soncat when he thinks he's getting over or when he won't admit something is bothering him, "Moms know these things!" As moms, we do the best we can when our kids are growing up then as they go off on their own all we can do is hope for the best. I talked to my Pastor earlier about some church business, you are now on our prayer concern list. And you remain very much in mine. Take it easy, get some rest, and continue to pray. Should the going get tough, come to your PT friends...we're always here for you.
It is no secret what God can do,
What he's done for others He'll do for you.....
Exactly Candace!!Quote:

Kim, just wanted to let you know that you are still in my thoughts and in my prayers.
One day at a time dear Kim, one day at a time.
{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}
kim reading your post was one of the saddest i have read on PT for a while, it really hits home, when you are a mother yourself, you understand the complete heartache and despair you are feeling right now,I can only imagine how stressful this is for you, and I must say I admire your courage, you are indeed a very strong woman, great to see you wake up and feel like you can carry on another day, because i am sure there have been days where you felt you could no longer do just that.
Just want you to know i am here for you too, and that my heart goes out to you and your family through all this,i hope with all my heart Amy beth can sort herself out and soon and you can feel true happiness again,hang on in there, you are a loving, caring person.who has had to endure more than anyone should need to,I hope you will never feel that you are alone , and that you are burdening anyone here on PT, that is so far from the truth,please always stop by and unload your stresses,we are all family here and only too willingly to offer you support and help that you may need from time to time, bless you and your family.

I have the following quote posted in many places, and also at work, because even there, there are certain people you work with that just try to bring you down.
Eleanor Roosevelt was an amazing woman, and I love this quote:
No one can make you feel inferior without your permission.
It's something to remember... You need to believe in yourself. You have to be your own cheerleader, and know that you are a wonderful person and have all the potential in the world. Don't let others make you feel like crap. Know that the ones that do do that, are the ones who feel crappy about themselves to begin with and the old saying "misery loves company." It is so true.
Be good to yourself. Don't be an enabler to your daughter. She's preying on your "motherly instincts", and is using your sentiments for her own well-being without any thought of how she is slowly destroying you. I know it is hard, but you have to look after yourself at this point. She's an adult now, and is responsible for her own actions and cannot be allowed to blame anyone else, or make others feel responsible for her. That is extremely manipulative. Shame on her for doing that to her mother. It also doesn't sound like Denise has the best interests of the child at heart either. Another spiteful person doing something to make others feel inadequate. I'm sure she'll be easy on her son and let him see Jenna when he wants. As horrible as it sounds, a foster placement might be the best thing for Jenna at this point.
Thank you Kim and Lorraine!
Carole, I appreciate your understanding and support!
Jenn, thank you for the reminders ... I am often my own worst enemy! :rolleyes:
Aren't we all? :)Quote:

It is so easy to get down and out, especially given all that you have dealt with lately. Plus, if your husband is working when you go to bed at night, I can imagine that your mind races and it is hard to relax at all.
You take care of Kim, Amanda and hubby, and be available and alert to Jenna's needs, when and where you can. I think that is all you can do.
I heard a really great sermon last night at our Lenten service. He spoke on "sin" :eek:, but most of all forgiveness. And forgiveness comes in all forms and it is between you and your Lord. He also said, and I agree with this, totally, that forgiving doesn't always mean that everything is mended, just that you have found some peace in your heart and with God, and you are able to move forward. That was a comfort to me. If I can get him to send me a copy of his sermon, I'll send it to you.
Much love to you. May each day get a little better for you. I know that with the love of your husband and daughter, you will get better every day.
Thank you so much, Logan! One thing I really miss is being in a church home. It's just so hard getting back in the routine after being "out of it" for so long. Good news though, hubby is getting to go to DAY SHIFT in about another week and a half! He has been on Night Shift for TWELVE years now! YES, I AM SO EXCITED!!!! :D Getting into a normal routine will help us get back to church on Sunday too!Quote:
