sheila - i don't know what has happened but i am thinking of you ans wishing you the best. i will miss your wisdom and kindness and i hope you will feel able to write again soon.

I have been there with the news that is devastating to you, but is not really your news. I will be thinking good thoughts for you and your friend.

You will be missed indeed.
I just went through a week of hell, and came back to try to fight for another day. I was sad to read this post, but I understand. My thoughts and warm wishes are going out to you and your friend.
Please come back soon.

I understand. Thanks for letting us know.
I will drop a personal email.
Love
Lo

Will miss you. I just got back from a little break and it helped. Sometimes, the words just don't want to be spoken. Take care.

ahhhh, life just seems to get in the way sometimes, huh? Prayers going up for your friend..

Breaks, and brakes, are good.

love.

Take care of yourself. Breaks are a good thing. I will keep you and your friend in my prayers and close to my heart.
Love you.

I am sorry to hear of your friend's news. Sheila, God is in the desert place with you, giving you strength for each step until you reach the cool oasis of refreshing. He will turn your mourning into gladness. It's ok to go take a rest in His lap for awhile. I believe he is smiling down at you and saying "come my child, rest in me and I will make you whole." God Bless you my friend.

(((you)))

I understand. It has been a valley for some of us, lately.

I hope your friend will be okay, whatever it is.

ox :)

My prayers are with you and your friend.

You and your friend are in my thoughts and prayers. Much love. You will be missed.

Hey, take care of you. I'll certainly pray for your friend and for you. You've had enough upseting news the past few months.

Just checking back to see if you're ok. Hope you are. Leaving you a hug.

My story

  • I struggle with all that has made me "crooked" in my life especially growing up in the Bible belt where my grandma's fear of the end of the world scared the crap out of me on a daily basis. By the time I was 7 I was convinced I had committed a sin that was so completely and utterly unpardonable that I was going straight to hell. So I hopped on the church bus each Sunday morning desperate to spend time with God in spite of my impending doom. My journey to find God in church led to a few disastrous entanglements with "Christians" who gave me every reason to give up my search for Jesus and run like the dickens to get away from them. I did run, too, all the way to the West Coast, and even though I have some pretty nasty wounds, Jesus, I believe, is at work straightening all my "crooked" places. In my opinion, it's taking too damn long, but then again, I struggle to do my part in this process of being set free. Redemption is the work of Jesus. Maturity, well, that seems to be up to me, and evidently, I'm a slow learner.
