I read them Gabby. I really wish I could offer you some words of encouragement, but even I'm stumped! I'm sorry if you think of our friendship as in limbo, but I haven't exactly been right myself these last couple of weeks, Sean is having issues that he needs my support, and I'm trying to stay close to my family. I do think about you, but by the end of the day I'm exhausted and in deep pain... I keep my stress pent up in my shoulders and most of my joints so all I can do is crash into bed.

Maybe the Lord is showing you it's time to take care of your Mother, these may be her last days (as horrible as that sounds and as hard as that is to admit), and then maybe it's time to do something brand new for Him. That might mean moving to a completely new place and just taking a risk or two.

Right now I'm working hard to try to let this place that I've called home since I was 6 months old feel like home again. My own Mom is hardly talking to me and I really don't have any clue why... my Dad and I are okay but we're not that close. I usually quietly scream to myself "Why can't you just tell me you love me and give me a hug" when I see my Mom. It's so frustrating how I need her love to be alright. I finally just gave in and tried talking to her and getting a hug from her. I complimented her on her cooking and grabbed a quick hug... but I often wonder if I should honestly just pack up a few belongings and leave this place. I feel like I'm just wasting their money, their love, and that I'm not wanted here. So it's hard.

So I'm sorry Gabby if I haven't been able to chat like usual, but I do love you alot and am praying. Keep that faith and smile up Sweetheart

OH TATI I didn't mean you were in limbo hon...I meant my friends that live in SI near me, Gabs hugs Tati...I know you are at school and going thru a lot.
Not to worry. Yes I think maybe travel will be in my future if my mom passes but I am hoping and praying she makes it to the nursing home and out of the hospital only God knows. And I know God is trying to teach me something.
Hon I am here if you need me...and if you want to talk I have free long distance just pm and I will call ok.
Gabs Hugs Tati....you are in my prayers too precious sorry I didn't make the post clearer. Love you girl.

[whitebeaches]

Good morning G. I just wanted you to know that I think it is a blessing seeing you on here every day. I enjoy reading your encouraging words and I pray faithfully over your blogs. You can have a minisry here and do. You have reached out to many who needed it and you may not even be aware of it. You are a light that shines brightly. A blessing to others. Your pain is our pain. Your joys are our joys. You are so precious. You are an angel.
hugs

Kathy you just brought tears to my eyes.
I am just trying to do what God has placed in my heart.
And if that touches someone then I praise HIM that I got it right and let Him use me as HIS vessel.
Gabs reaches over and hugs Kathy tightly ...and you sweet friend...are a blessing to me and a true inspiration.

And back at you sweetiepie...GABBY HUGS

Gabby hugs are the best kind of hugs out here

Today was a good day... I'm still dreading getting my grades for the semester. Just one class has me worried... but seriously should I honestly be bugging out if I get one C on my report card? Especially when I believe I'm going to get two A's and a B for the rest of the grades. Honestly, that's not HORRIBLE. Right?

It's funny how you can be freaking out about all the details and then *SLAP* God shows you some love and sends you some encouragement. Happened to me yesterday.... I was freaking out about the grades thing (especially since parents don't know yet heh) and I decided to read a book. I'm reading the new Tim LaHaye series "Babylon Rising" and in the second book it says the following:

"Remember what Pual the Apostle wrote in Romans: We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured His love into our heart."

A few paragraphs later, as one character was trying to cheer up another who had just lost his wife, the guy gave him a card which said the following:

"If finding God's way in the suddenness of storms makes our faith grow broad--- then trusting God's wisdom in the "dailyness" of living makes it grow deep. And strong. Whatever may be your circumstances--- however long it may have lasted--- wherever you may be today, I bring you this reminder: The stronger the winds, the deeper the roots, and the longer the winds... the more beautiful the tree."

Both of these touched my heart and I silently told the Lord how happy I was that He would have taken that moment to bring those words to my attention and into my heart. It helped ALOT!

And something tells me Gabby that you might really need to hear those words too Sweetie. Love you!!!! I hope you all rest peacefully tonight.

Btw, Sean is home safe and sound and we're not going crazy missing each other just yet.

Gabby,
I read 'em. I read Tati's post too. I'm going to see my grandmothers soon too. My father's been so bad off physically, we're still waiting for bad news. Yet...she's good otherwise. I'm just glad she's loca. As for my mother's mother....she's in Indy and not too accesible for me. I'm making a special trip to see her soon. She's about where your mom is, I think (or was, the last my mom was able to tell me). *sighs* Some days, I'm left to wonder just what my mom sees when she sees me, 'cause the things she says just are so off from the truth, I just don't know if she even realizes it or not. (She's ususally talking with me, and says something that isn't true, and it's usually about me...like I'm into this or that, or I'm like this or that. I'm not surprised about this either, and yet, it isn't small stuff either. She thought for awhile I was, well, not into dating men! I guess I've rather gotten used to it by now, and just deal with it and the fallout from it.) I'll pray for you both!
Luv,
Shay

Father,
I lift up my sisters to You. I lift up my family to You. I cry for them both. You know what we all need today and every day. I pray we all feel You in our hearts, in our lives. I pray Your peace over them, and Your help in their decisions. Thank You for them in my live!!
in Jesus, I pray. Amen

Oh SHAY....I'm sorry..I laughed at what you posted....you have no idea the things that came out of my mother's mouth when I took her out before she got sick....I SO TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.
I guess some of us have this problem to take care of our ailing parents...it must be something we need to learn...c'mere sweetie. Gabby hugs for you.
Call me this weekend we will talk.
Love you girl

I just wanted to bring some cheer to the thread and let my Sisters know how much I love them. I often realize how much love and support I get from my Christian friends... not saying my family doesn't love me (btw things here are getting better ) but having this common bond of Christ and the Spirit in our hearts can do amazing things in a friendship.

s to you all!!

Hi everyone Gabby wanted me to let all of you know that she is having difficulty getting on the site. She got a message that she had used up all of her attempts to log in and would have to wait...she thinks maybe someone hacked into her account. Anyway, we don't know what is going on so could everyone please pray that this will be worked out? Thanks!
