That does sound frightening!! He definitely makes all things for good though, which is often hard to believe. Thank you for the prayers, they are definitely felt. I apologize it took so long to reply, I still haven't spent enough time on this blog setting up my comment notifications!! God Bless, Diane Auntie Em,

On a cross country trip from Texas to California, I got left behind in Winnemucca, NV of all places! It was terrifying. But now that I look back on it, I realize that going through all that was worth it in the end. I haven't seen or talked to my family in over 20 yrs, and while I do occasionally miss them (especially on holidays), I wouldn't go back to that way of life for anything in the world. The enemy is here to steal, kill, and destroy and he'll come at you any way he can. Happily, he has no rights or authority over you. Sometimes all you have is God, and all praise and glory to Him that it's more than enough to overcome, comfort, and see us through. If He is with you (and He is!), then who can come against you? Love wins. I will be praying for you. Girl, you just wrote my life. On a cross country trip from Texas to California, I got left behind in Winnemucca, NV of all places! It was terrifying.

I have tried to rememeber that. Since I wrote this I have thought and prayed about it a lot and have a lot more peace about it. I'm still a little sad and hope the relationships are able to heal at some point, but for now we are doing good. :) Love and hugs to you too! <3 I agree with you 100%, and you are so right about their issues coming from somewhere…. being past experiences themselves.

So many people stay in abusive, unhealthy relationships just so they don't have to rock the boat. And I know that what Jesus wants is for families to love each other, but families are made up of people, and we're all inherently flawed. Unfortunately, some relationships are too toxic to continue in. I'm so sorry that this happened. :-( It is absolutely not childish to protect yourself and/or your children. It's your obligation to take care of your children, and it's only sane to take care of yourself. No one has a right to treat you (or them) that way. They have every right to express their feelings, but no right to make you put up with it! When you're able, don't forget the verses about blessing those who curse you and to pray for your enemies. I wouldn't put yourself back in that situation, but it seems to me that their vitriol is coming from somewhere. They probably need healing as much as you do, but don't have the Holy Spirit to show them. Or if they do, it seems as though they're not listening! *love and hugs to you and the girls* Oh honey, you have no idea how glad I am that you’re strong enough to stand up for yourself and your children!
