I have been hurt more by people in the church than I ever have in the world, and I understand a little of the hurt you have endured (note, I said a little, because everyone's experience is different. God Bless you and I am so glad you are letting go of expectations concerning your children. I know it is very hard to do sometimes.

You are indeed, blessed!<br /><br />I'm happy for you that you have been able to release your wanting to control or fix your daughter's lives. It's a fruitless act anyway...at least with my children...LOL...so it is best to give it up. Years ago I gave mine up to God. I said, "God, you love them just like I do, please take care of them, watch over them, and let them learn from their mistakes along the way." It was so freeing for me. I knew they were in the hands of a power greater than myself and it freed me to just love them, right where they were. It is a wonderful feeling.<br /><br />I do think too, we can worry ourselves sick. Time is a great healer and I'm sure you will enjoy your time at home more and more as the days pass! <br />October is my favorite month! I'm off to read your prior story and I can't wait for your post! <br />It's so nice to know a woman who knows to appreciate the simple beauty that surrounds her and lives with gratitude and appreciation.<br /><br />Hugs to You, Gail!<br />Have a Beautiful Day!TheChicGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781656678543589662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828389555620814846.post-71677382107470479632009-09-28T10:50:06.830-04:002009-09-28T10:50:06.830-04:00HI MEGAN-JOY GIRL

You are strong willed, able to survive anything coming at you. Still those who who hold positions of trust should never practice such manipulative doings. Such an experience could cause danger, even suicide to someone who is not as strong as yourself. Do these people continue their lives as if nothing ever happened...I wonder if they continue to manipulate. Anywho...enough rambling from me. I'm happy you're not stressing over bp and that you are developing a deeper relationship with your daughters...that relationship seems to get better each day. A blessing!!! Don't spend time stressing on anything..because like everything in life, this too shall pass. (I'm certain you already know that) :) I've got to go back and read some of your post from 08. Seems you've evolved tremendously. <br /><br />Peace, Light and Love, C.cordiebhttp://www.cordiebw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828389555620814846.post-81541666997347364662009-09-26T09:21:16.633-04:002009-09-26T09:21:16.633-04:00HI R T -
