Re: She moved out...now the work begins...Part 3

I too have focused on strength but without the benefit of faith. I am envious of people like yourself who Believe. I know it can be a great comfort and I have immense respect for people who truly live their Faith.

Just like Don Quixote we are surrounded by well meaning people who are determined to "help" by pointing out our madness or by attempting to intervene. Pay them no mind (except for us here - we know everything ... ) and especially do not count on them to follow your flag. Square your shoulders, hoist your lance and ride forward to battle the giants. You are not riding alone. You have your Pride and Faith along with you.

AP, thanks for the reply. I do believe that faith has alot to do with being able to stay sane...at times. I still, on occasion, break down, but I know that seems to be slowing down. I think that I am detaching slowly, but surely.

I do pray daily that God will allow my M to be healed, but I have faith that things will work out in his time.

SBJ,

I also believe that God has a plan for us, he knows what our day will be like before we even wake up. I read a devotional everyday and through my whole sitch it seems to focus on having faith in his plan for us. It is hard and I think I do at times but then when the doubts come I know I am not having faith. Keep up with the making your self better for you and your kids!! Yes the holidays are tough! Just remember the reason for the season!

hawker, our faith is what helps us stand. As it says in Joshua 1:9 ... "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
