I would really like to thank everyone for all the support you have shown me. It has been so hard at times to even drag myself out of bed and hold my head up high. We will get thru this I know but it just seems like it is never going to end, just one constant long battle.
Anyway I just wanted to say thank you it has meant a lot to me that people who don't even know me could take the time to show me and family that we aren't alone.

Thumper, I haven't posted because I've been down with the flu since Wednesday (after my grandgirls got sick and now hubby's got it) but I have been online to read the posts daily, and you and yours have been in my prayers, too. Just take it one day at a time, and take it to the Lord in prayer. There is an end in sight, hon. Hugs to you all. (((((((((((((((((((((((thumper and family))))))))))))))))))

Forgot to say, you've come to the right place here, there's so much caring and love here, and when you feel like you can't go on (or your kids feel like that), just get on your knees - you don't even have to say anything, HE knows what's in your heart and what the end will be. He never said life would be easy, but He WILL help you through. My shoulder's available, too.

Thumper,

Prayed for you and your family again this morning.

Recently, I have been going through some difficulties where I found myself too emotionally exhausted and too scared to function - a lot of confusion, fear, worry. I felt I had totally lost my direction and purpose. I got to the point where I started to doubt that God would bring my family through our struggles. I could "say" that I trusted God, that I knew He was in control, but deep down I still couldn't let go.

If that is where you are right now, take heart. You have lots of good faithful people praying for you - for strength, courage, peace and healing. Prayer partners are there to take over when you just can't do it anymore and the collective strength of their prayers will see you through.

You will be in my prayers daily. So if you get really discouraged, know that there is someone out there praying for you, and as they say "help is on the way".

Take care and I pray you have a good day today.

Bright
