I totally know what it is like to be going about life like normal and then finding out that the rug was slowly (or quickly) pulled out from under you and you are now in a situation that is far from that "normal". You are right to concentrate on your family; they will be there long after the blog world is and each moment you have with them is to be treasured. Take some time for yourself in the midst of the chaos and seek God. He will show you what to do as you walk through this time in your life (((Hugs))).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-70167489391907624982010-09-03T21:36:51.269-04:002010-09-03T21:36:51.269-04:00I have stumbled on this blog several times, and fo...I have stumbled on this blog several times, and found such a nice place to visit. Today - I am moved to comment <br />Bless your heart - from one mom to another - family first. Your friends, in real life and online, will always understand and be there when you are ready. Through health issues and major changes in my life - I have found out who real friends are. And surprise surprise - the very best ones lived in my computer. I seem to find kindred spirits out in cyber space...unlike in real life. Being an odd duck of sorts - that's just the way it is.<br />Keeping your family in my prayers that He will guide you through these troubled waters.

She explains in there that when it comes to your life's path, you cannot "Pro" and "Con" it, you can only answer "yes" or "no".<br /><br />If it's financial, turn to Dave Ramsey's books, website, and radio show.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-12208365712830556782010-09-02T16:23:58.443-04:002010-09-02T16:23:58.443-04:00I hope that time heals, sometimes through choices ...I hope that time heals, sometimes through choices there is a final reason.

Prayer and hope is what gets us through these trying times. As my Dad always said as I was growing up..."this too shall pass". Even now that our family is faced with the certain death of one of ours- we know that this moment really will pass and in light of eternity it is FLEETING. I hope you know that. I wish you the best as you step back and make changes and consider things. Good for you for knowing what to focus on right now.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528794115926285427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-56571352240214694422010-09-02T09:38:24.969-04:002010-09-02T09:38:24.969-04:00Hang in there Cindy!

It's amazing how words of encouragement from friends and family can help lift some burdens, even if just a little. I know that God is aware of your hardships. Sometimes I'll refer to my church's website for words of encouragement on any particular subject. It's a great reference for spiritual talks and lessons. You can basically type in any subject matter into the "search" on the site, and a bunch of articles or lessons will pop up from various members of the church. For example if you type in "dealing with trials", over 600 articles will come up. I know that a pretty general subject, but you could narrow it down to specific trials if you wanted. The website is lds.org. Try it out, I hope it helps! <br />Big hugs from me! I hope things look brighter soon!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208941792266837802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-2941160702131020612010-09-02T01:07:13.747-04:002010-09-02T01:07:13.747-04:00I didn't know that you home schooled...I do to...I didn't know that you home schooled...I do too. ;)<br /><br />You wrote this all so beautifully.
