I just love this! I know you're going through so much right now, and we all do, but I know you will find that happiness you need. It's already there, you just need to look deeper. Your writing brings out the emotions in me. I can feel it in my heart. It's those little messages that we need to bring us back to feeling normal again, if only for a little while. I get those too when I'm struggling and feeling like the world is against me. I believe in you, my dear friend. Keep going!

Always your fan,
Shana :)

Hi Rebecca, I'm so sorry that you're so emotionally affected what is happening in your life right now. The only thing you have to try is that it will not totally consume you. That won't help you nor your husband. Maybe taking one step at a time is a good idea. Concentrate at coping with your father's illness, and when you feel you're beginning coming to terms with that then you can start thinking what to do next. Kind regards. Ulla:)))

I love the idea that you are writing for healing, and that is a great chapter for your book, "safe to remember."

I like the idea that you're trying to find your new normal, and you expressed that even doing dishes helped.
Struggling With faith in the midst of suffering and waiting to hear from God is rough. Glad you have your faith and your husband to depend on. God bless in your tough situation. Whether you receive healing or not is not a reflection of you personally.
Bill

    Amen, Bill. You are right, it's not a reflection of me personally. Something I know in my head and God and I are working it into my heart.
    THANKS for reading my chapter and giving me such a nice review and five stars. I appreciate it so much! Blessings to you.

Hi RWilliam, a wonderful Wednesday to you, I hope this finds you well. Thank you for sharing that personal story with us. I'm sorry to hear the things you are dealing with, but writing can be very cathartic, it sure has helped me deal with things. Take care and have a great day!

Oh, Bec,

I'm so sorry. This is a heartbreaking story. To know that you are going through it as you write, and as I read it, means there is nothing I can do to help. That also breaks my heart. I'm sending you my love and the knowledge that everything will work out - in some way - in some strange and unpredictable way!

Thanks for sharing your heart.

Thanks for sharing some more of your journal with us. It helps to know that we do not suffer alone in this world. I have found that when I am down or need encouragement if I just turn on the T.V. it amazed me of what I turn to. God is in control of our life if we only let Him be. You are in my prayers my friend. God will not leave you, nor forsake you and I know you know this! love and blessings, Teri

    AW man, I am growing to really like you! ;)))
    Thank you so much! I'm honored that you are following my journey. Thanks for the lovely five stars, too. Thanks even more, for the prayers!

    You will learn that I am just a real person that has gone through so much in my life that I do love people, but God the most! I love to pray for people too. I do believe in the power of prayer and our God so much. Just hang in there my friend! The darkness hour is just before the dawn. A song my grandmother wrote many years ago, but still so true! Have a blessed night!
