Thank you for the kind words and well wishes sent my way. I’m feeling much better today! 🙂
One of the things I hate about being an adult is having to make hard decisions. It’s funny to me that I feel that way since that is precisely one of the things I looked forward to when I was a kid. I felt that I could make harder choices than I was allowed to make. Never mind that I didn’t always make wise decisions and sometimes my screw-ups were big and public.
Well, the time has come for me to make some tough decisions. I’m knee deep in emotional turmoil over them. These are not childhood dilemmas, yet I wish I could have someone else decide for me and just tell me what to do. (Like it would do any good – I’d end up doing what I want to do anyway.) I wrote a whole blog post about it, then deleted it when I decided I didn’t want everyone in cyberspace knowing that much about me and my family. For those of you who know me personally and would like more information, please email or call me and I’d be happy to fill you in and solicit your prayers. For those of you who are part of my blog family: Please, please, please pray that my decisions are based on what God has told me to do and what is best for me and my family. Just so you’re not freaked out…It involves my extended family and broken/abusive /dysfunctional relationships within it. This has been a REALLY hard week for me in this area.
So I take this moment to thank God for my spiritual family. He has blessed me beyond belief with Godly men and women to come alongside me and show me what a family is supposed to look like, act like, love like, and be.
Holy Father, I will praise you through this storm in my life. I will lean on you and wait for your wisdom to guide me. I place no blame on you for this painful time, and I seek healing and restoration from you and through those you have placed in my life. Please speak to me so loudly I cannot doubt that it is you. Thank you for your compassion and mercy and please help me show the same to others. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

From the tone of this post, it just feels like you are going through something intense–I will be praying for healing and that God will speak so that you will know your next step.
I love your prayer!

May God reach out and wrap His arms around you. May you feel His pleasure in the decisions you must make, and the peace only He can provide once you make them. I don’t know if you agonize more prior to or after making a decision, but I pray God will carry you through the entire process. Know that you will be lifted up, my friend, because that is what sisters in Christ do for one another. You are precious to many.

I will be praying for you! I’m having my wisdom teeth taken out tomarrow (Friday), so I’ll be down for a day or two. After that, I’ll call so we can chat, OK? Love you, sister!
