I am feeling better today, thanks to all of the loving support from everyone here, and my hubby who left a card for me on my desk this morning. He does that often, but today was just perfect timing.

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?

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!

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!

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.....

Oh Kim..... I'm just now catching up on this whole sordid chapter in the AmyBeth saga. I don't even know what to say! Just know I'm thinking of you and am here if you need a sholder to cry on. (((hugs)))
