Alien invasion 3.0

[hoosiermama]

Thank you so much for the support. I just took a swan dive into my grief, I'm PMS'ing (sorry, guys), D is staying overnite with H, and it's just all hitting me at once. I did this about a month ago, so I know that part of this is hormonal and will pass quickly. And so I truly appreciate everyone's support.

You know, I'm not praying for anything in particular, mostly just "be with me" and "help." You didn't sound flippant at all. I just keep thinking about what I would tell someone in my situation during a pastoral visit, and yes--it resonates, it rings true. I know that God is weeping with me, is doing whatever He can do in this situation in which so many different people are making self-serving choices. Most of my ministry is just listening, being open to whatever God wants me to express to someone in pain, helping them not to feel abandoned, and a lot of staying out of the way. So I'm trying to do that for myself--listening, not telling God how I want him to help me (I can be pretty good with those kind of instructions!), and leaning on God. And he's sent me messages from y'all. Thanks for being messengers!
