Comment from damommy
I've had similar situations in years past. I tried to control things for the good of that person. After much struggle, I realized all I could do was be there if I was needed and pray. I prayed so long and hard, and thought I'd never see a change. I called every church in town and put that person's name of their prayer list. After a long, long time, the situation reversed, and things are wonderful. The hardest thing for me was to give control to God and step back. The next hardest thing was to wait and let Him do it in His time, not mine.
I know it seems that the harder we try, the more Satan jumps up and hits us in the face. I think that means that we're doing the right thing, or he wouldn't keep coming at us to do different.
Hang in there, dear friend. Keep praying. You and I know it works. Let God take control and wait. 8-)
Love,
Yvonne

Thank you my sweet friend! God is so good! I ask for conformation tonight about this and I thank you for telling this. I appreciate you so much! May God bless you always. Teri
Comment from Ric Myworld
Teri, my sweet friend, God never said it would be easy. As much as it breaks our hearts to see those who make fun or aren't interested in seeing or hearing your witness and testimony, we can only do our part. The rest is up to the people. But remember this, sometimes you plant the seed, and who knows when they will respond. I just saw an old friend that I haven't seen in more than thirty years and found out that he has accepted Christ as his Savior, and even crazier is that, a seed I planted all those years ago was the reason. Just keep plugging! :-)

We will have times like that Teri, when everything closes in and feel we can't cope, although less these for me personally, but I do sympathise, I've had some terrible times, I gave up going to church for 18 months. My wife has a Facebook page, I don't, but we have a couple of nieces and nephews, so once again I know how you, I've prayed for you, at times like these, God is strong, Teri, well done, blessings, Roy

Thank you Roy! It is just a mess tonite. Tom, my husband get along, now he don't want to go to Bible Study with me and he has always gone to church. I do not like the devil at all! Teri

I don't blame you Teri, God wins though, I've had a look at the end, the devil wins battles, but God wins the war. LoL.

Excellent. We all need to get it off our chests once in a while, whatever IT is. If anyone on this site wants to rant, I'm willing to listen. You have done a great job of expressing yourself in this writing. I found it to be interesting.

Comment from winnona
If you did not care about your niece as much as you do she could not affect you like this. I have a niece like her. She did things just to defy and hurt me. You see I raised her and while her mother was off having fun I was then one trying to teach her right from wrong. Educate her and teach her morals. Once she left she became like her mother. I finally told her. She knew right from wrong and knew how she should be living. Since she was now an adult it was on her to climb out of the gutter and make something out of her life. But until then she was to leave me out of her mess. It took her awhile but she is finally getting on with her life. I still have my sanity.
