I believe in the Lord and His willingness to help. Sometimes, however, he is beseeching YOU to take action... YOU may well be the "instrument of His peace." for Kaitlyn. You may be Kaitlyn's earth angel. Don't hesitate to act. Karenina (via Jess)

I tried to reach out at Johnny's birthday dinner but there was no conversation to be had. I've told Matt he needs to talk to Corrie or call the hotline. I'm working on it!
Love you! Carol

I know you are...and will. It's a tough situation. Families put the "fun" in dysfunctional, don't they???

I admire your good example of how to work things out for all of us fanstory followers to see. That does take courage. It also shows us your continued faith.

Comment from Judy Lawless
I'm so glad you figured out where to find your strength, Carol. Sometimes all we can do is have faith and stop blaming ourselves. It's not our job to take on every burden of others. Hugs

Thank you....
My life is very stressful at the moment and I have reached out to so many proverbs, psalms and quotes just trying to stay afloat. I appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing the Lord's answers to you, Carol! I shared that the Isaiah verse was a pivotal one for my mom when she dealt with breast cancer. His Word is powerful. Let's hold on to His promises. He's got this!

Thank you, Helen...
It's an up-hill struggle but I keep reminding myself that the Lord will direct Kaitlyn's life not me. Even though I feel like I am the caregiver of this family, I can't fix it when I am shut out.
Thanks so much, Carol

I look back when my gals were in my care and realize I never had control enough to fix but I could have done more to cheer them on and encourage.
Comment from amahra
I know the feeling; that is my biggest problem...waiting on the Lord. I'm naturally impatient. I trust God but I want it yesterday. I've been praying for years for my son, that God will show him the way, but every time I talk to him, he appears farther and farther away from what I prayed. Then the Word of the Lord comes to me, and says, "Stop looking at it, Stop listening for it," you must have faith that I will perform what you asked; because faith has nothing to do with your senses. But faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
God bless you.

I pray that God understands that my heart believes all that he says, but at times when worry overcomes me, I try to take the reins and lead the way. He probably forgives me more than I can forgive myself. LOL Smiles, Carol
Comment from Iza Deleanu
We.are humans and we want to be in control, even when we ask God to take over. You are right all we can do is pray and praise the God for his guidance.

Comment from Patty Palmer
Carol, I'm glad to hear that you have found some peace realizing that everything is all in God's plan and in His time. We need to remember that God will show us a way where there is no way. I still urge you though that even talking with a caseworker might make you feel better and maybe help Kaitlyn. I'm here if you need somebody to talk to and don't let my suggestion make you do what you feel you don't need to do. HUGS and PRAYERS!

Comment from Wendy G
Your help absolutely does come from the Lord and His Word, so I am glad that you went to Him and have found help there. But He does also give us brothers and sisters to love and support us during difficult times. At one time Aaron held up Moses' arms as he interceded for his people. We are simply holding up your arms, supporting you in your ministry towards Kaitlin. Ultimately, It is the Lord who will heal her within. And I am sure He will.

Isaiah 41:10-13 are my 'go-to' scriptures many days. And you know what? I believe them! I'm glad you found some comfort and encouragement when you read them and took them to heart. God is our source for everything! Blessings to you, and continued prayers for your granddaughter.

Hi! Shirley....
Yes, I feel that I was meant to see those quotes and pictures and it was a message for me to let go and leave it in God's hands... I have no control and he certainly does.
Smiles, Carol
