Unchaining the Bondage

I'm sorry I haven't written in awhile - the last 3 weeks have been really rough. Jr & I have argued, fussed and fought like two banny hens & a rooster. It seems as though everything these days sets us off. All the extra stress of my dependence on a 61-yr-old mother for has us both to our breaking point. On top of all the mess with my son & this whole investigation by DSS which has been done improperly from the get go, hasn't helped our stress levels @ all. Jr and I have yet to hear back from the head director of DSS letting us know that their going to implement my idea of taking William out of the placement he is in currently , not having him transfered to the custody of his current temp guardian's 1st ex husband and his wife - but instead placing William with a temp Christian foster family who Jr and I can work with and establish some sort of peaceful ground - 50/50 custody thing to where William stays with the foster family during the week and school yr and then on the weekends he stays with jr and I - even if Jr and I aren't able to have him with us full time right now - doing the 50/50 custody thing with a temp Christian foster family is a lot better than the environment that he's in now and it's also a lot better than the environment that he's going to be transferred to June 5th. I'm sorry I'm not having my child going to another county. I think it's imperative for his mental and emotional wellbeing that I have a visit with him asap. I'll be honest, I hate the fact that William is going to have to go through some mental health counseling but I also know that, that in its self is going to open up the door to where Jr and I can get relationship counseling - because we have both admitted that we both need counseling together as well as individual counseling. The fact that he's ADHD and I'm ADD automatically challenges our relationship in general. Jr made a statement to me the other night in the fact that - his family is incredibly dysfunctional - he told me that all he's ever known has been a dysfunctional family - a dysfunctional life, from childhood through to adulthood - the fact that there was a lot of mental, emotional as well as physical abuse, Jr never knew what a balance normal life was and has never known what's it's like to have a normal, drama free life. Jr made another statement to me in the fact that he feels as tho the whole world is upon his shoulder's - he cant' take it any more, he's so tired - fed up with all the mental and emotional dysfunction. Truth of the matter is that Jr and I are very well aware that the devil knows all of our hot spots , we are well aware that the devil is doing all he can to work his self into our minds causing Jr & I to argue, fuss and fight, saying things to cut each other down - we are well aware that the devil is doing all he can to rip our relationship apart - getting the path of Jr and I trying to have a family of our own - the devil wants to keep us bound to the emotional and mental bondage from our past - playing both my ADD and his ADHD . How ever I'm not giving up on him, on us or our family.

Please don't take this the wrong way.

I believe in a God/Goddess but don't believe in the devil and so it very hard to rap my head around this concept. I really don't want you to think I don't care because i do > Ibelieve in prayer nad think about and know deep in my heart htings will work out for you. When Life is tough I read the Mary Stevenson poems. This poem the walking on the beach with the lord always gives me hope that I will always make it through the tough times Poems

“Foot Prints ts in the Sand

One night a man had a dream. He dreamt he was walking with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes of his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other to the Lord

. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it had happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered the man and he questioned the Lord about it.

"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." ."Author" Mary Stevenson

.

J esus hear this prayer today let my family know I am okay.

E ndless love lives on in eternity and one day they'll be home with me.

R emind them of the special times we share and let them know that I will always care.

A ngels walk with me through each new day ever since from earth I was called away.

M iss me, but know I miss you too you still have work on earth to do.

I n times of deepest sorrow glimpse my tomorrow.

E ver know that heaven is real, and this is not goodbye.... it's just until.

Were Free

Don't grieve for us, For now were free Were following. the path God has laid you see We took his hand when we heard him call

A Loan

The Lord Looked down to earth on day, and waw a couple there. He said, "Now those two people make a lovely pair. I have some spirits here with me that need a home on earth. I think that I shall bless these folks with a precious spirits birth.

This baby, though, is just a Loan. These are the terms My dears, She may live there just sixty days or she may live for sixty years. I hope you'll treat my spirit kindly while she's down on earth with you. For when she comes back here to me she has a special job to do.

She'll bring you joy and heartache, She'll cause strife and care And she'll bring unto your lives my dears, Love that you can share But remember she's my spirit and she's just been loaned down there. She has a job to do up here so help her to prepare.

And now I've called my spirit back the job you did was fine. The spirit that belonged to me is now both yours and mine. I knew that when I called her back it would cause bitter tears But your sharing in her glory and the profit of her years.

I only sent her as a loan to make your home more bright So you could teach her right from wrong, and tuck her in at night. My loan is paying dividens, I want you both to know. I'm glad I loaned that spirit to you two down below. Author Unknown

I found these poems always gave me encouragement; and do pray for you JR. and William that everything will end the way it should.You need to be strong, use your inituation and have faith things will work out for you as life set itself to be. Remeber when it is hardest that is when we learn; we never learn anything when it is easy even though it sometimes feels we can't handle it anymore. ADD/ADHD may challenge us ; but it can't defeat us. If you want your mind to work better these thing I learned , Exercise is the best thing for the brain it keep it sharp and young, Eat Fish or take at least 1500 to 2000 mgs of fish oil a day. If you are intentive eat more protein and good carbohydrates, ADVOID alcohol it the worst thing for the brain, quit smoking if you do. I saw a program Change your life change your brain and it had so much practicle advice . I am trying it and eating better , exercising is working so I thought to pass it on. It would be helpful to be sharp as tack when you and JR go to DDS; and let them see how hard you guys are trying. (JUDI)

Was sent this and thought you would like it

God is my Peace

If I don't get this back, I will know you really didn't read it. I got this from someone and the last part is a really good thought.

Too bad that the person who sent it to me did not know 10 people who would admit to knowing the Lord.

If I send this to you, please send it back so I will know that my friends do know the Lord. I know 10 people.

Do You Love Him? This is a simple test: If you Love Jesus, send this to at least 10 people, including the person who sent it to you.

THE POEM I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, And jumped up off my knees. My Christian duty was now done My soul could rest at ease..... All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends, They'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no time, too much to do, That was my constant cry, No time to give to souls in need But at last the time, the time to die. I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with down cas t eyes. For in his hands God! held a book; It was the book of life. God looked into his book and said 'Your name I cannot find I once was going to write it down.... But never found the time'. Now do you have the time to pass it on?
