Savi,
No one said its easy.. No one said there won't be trials and troubles...But we are a family... everyone has your back when you think you can't walk another step on your own.... someones there even if on this board to reach up. step up. grab and arm and say its gonna be ok....I have days where its literally one hour at a time, because to think further than that is exhausting.
this is a few pieces of scripture that I use on a daily basis when things are just too rough to handle.
I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place. Ephesians 6:12-14
You did the right thing.. your choices were thought out, prayed about and informed about what is best for you and for him. I have a family member that has had to do that very same thing with her child. She sends you her prayers and warmth so that despite how hard this is, this is the right thing. She even had to at one point call the police on this child because he was a danger not only to himself but to the rest of his family. The days will get a little easier. The Holidays will be a little tough but you are NOT alone. we are all here for you. my msn is up as long as I am up and awake. I will send you resource emails and msn information via pm on the boards.
