Not sure what to say

Thank you to everyone that has said a prayer for me over the last week. With out them I don't think I would have been able to return to face the situation. Unfortunately, due to my previous posting, I upset some people. That was never my intention. I am sincerely sorry! This blog was supposed to be about my daughter, successes, failures, thoughts, and hurts. I am having a harder time with this than I did last week, and I am really not sure why. It has become very personal. I have been accused of a lot of things over the last 24 hours and I really have got to get over it and move on, but it is becoming harder. I absolutely dread leaving my house this morning. I am sick to my stomach and my heart is heavy. But I look at my daughter and I know that I have to leave the house and I HAVE to get past this. I want her to know that this is not okay, but it will be okay.

Many years ago I discovered a verse in Isaiah that I fell in love with. I keep it close to me and it has helped me on many different occasions through the years

Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
(Isaiah 41:10)
If I just remember that I belong to Him and that He will take care of me, I can overcome anything. But sometimes it is hard to remember that. Satan has been working hard around me - but I cannot and will not let him win!

Love you Elaina, I am sorry you are having such a hard time. We had beautiful weather at camp last week and I got home in time to see Juliane's wedding pictures, I posted them on my facebook page..Maybe this week will be better! Keep praying about it and looking to scripture, we all have so many ways we can improve and grow stronger..I know I do!
