But I do, and I've been sensing you didn't like what I wrote to you the other day, but I was serious, when we don't know what to do, do nothing. You know the scriptures, "Those that wait upon the Lord...Isaiah 40:31. It's horrible doing nothing when we feel like doing something...anything but sit on our, Moses said at the Red Sea, Exodus 6:1. Faith is also doing nothing. Remember Sarah Genesis 16 : 1-16. Do not help God. Blessing and prayers, Roy

No, I did understand and I always appreciate your thoughts. It's just official people keep making me do things and decide things and I have no choice and it makes me overwhelmed. I don't have the choice to do nothing. Thank you Roy...I know you are there for me.

Amen! I will pray for the situation and especially for your strength. We don't need to know what has happened but God knows and that's the important thing. I will continue praying.

Barbara,
I always trust in your prayers and friendship. Thank you!
Please accept my sincere apologies for this cut-and-paste response, but know that I have read and appreciate your review. I don't want to ignore responses and believe I must thank you for your time and thoughts. Your kindness is deeply appreciated. This morning is the first time in a week that I can call my own and I want to use it to tell everyone thank you.
Today is also my husband's "Heavenly Birthday" so I believe he is sitting with me, urging me to write and be me.
I send you a smile and a hug and a huge thank you. Carol

Oh Carol, Not again. You have had so much pain in your life. You love completely and too deeply and as wonderful as the ablility to do that is, I believe people like you might suffer more. Whatever has happened this time, my prayers are with you. More than anyone I've ever known you have the ablility to keep beginning again, never allowing you trust in God to waver.

Beth,
This is one of the darkest moments I have ever been faced with...there can be no good outcome, no matter how much I pray.

Comment from karenina
I understand how immense our troubles can be. You don't really want God to end your life or erase it, my friend--He forgives us our outcry when we are overwhelmed and devastated. Of course He forgives your doubts! He gives us faith to see our way through, even in the darkest hours...
You certainly have a FanStory family that not only loves your writing, but knows and loves your kind and gentle heart-- and a bit about the many times you've faced tragedy. All who believe will be praying...I will be praying double time for you and for the entire situation which has rocked your family to be resolved.
You remind us, even in this hour of your angst--that we must treasure every moment of every day... Let us give YOU hugs and smiles now, Carol. There is a path forward... we may not know what it is just yet, but we know to keep the faith and bask in God's eternal Grace.
Sending love to you and all your family!

Comment from Jasmine Girl
You are so right about the importance of our families. I have had a terrible childhood so I'm not very close to my mother who lives here because I helped her to come to the US. She is bipolar but we try to have good time together when she is in good mood. My husband has a big and very nice family so I'm looking forward to the reunion that is coming up next week on a lake.
Well done.

Lisa,
I hope you can find many memories and lots of love at your reunion. My daughter who passed a few years ago was bipolar manic depressive and it made life a roller coaster too.

Sherry,
I know that God walks at my side and that he has not forsaken our family, but it's so dark, I fear there can not be a good outcome no matter what.

Comment from Judy Lawless
I can't even guess what's happening in your life now, Carol, but my heart goes out to you. You've had more than your share of stress and worry over your family members. This sounds like something much worse than before. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.

This is so dark that regardless of my faith I can not see any good coming from this. Our family is destroyed no matter what.

Comment from Sally Law
Just this weekend? I've been feeling this for some time as I am the mother and grandmother of many. My husband feels it too. You are not alone, dear. This contemptuous hatred for one another has evolved to the debased level we haven't seen since WW2 Nazi Germany.
Unfortunately it's being fueled by the president and his staff. It's the vaccinated verses the unvaccinated, then if that weren't enough, it is the masked verses the unmasked. I read where a landlord in south Florida is threatening to evict unvaccinated renters from their apartments; New York, my former residence, is mask mandating children over two! Two year olds, Carol! Washington is praising this level of tyranny we haven't seen in a long time. Never say never when someone this wicked gets into power. I'm in constant prayer, and fortunately, I have a wonderful governor who stands up to this unconstitutional nonsense and to an unfit president that seems to grow worse by the day. Help us, Lord!
Sending you my best and prayers for us all,
Sal XOs
