Anyone have a request or praise they’d like to share?
Psalm 50
¹The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
4 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.
22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
Pray for my friend ‘A’ whose in a convalescent hospital for Parkinson’s after a couple of falls. He’s not a believer (pretty much rejected a rather strict Baptist upbringing, from what I can gather) and has been swept up in some of the paranormal, psychic stuff unfortunately (he was seeing a medium for a while to communicate with a girlfriend who died a few years ago).
So prayer for his improvement and timely release so he can go home to an apartment he can call his own — but also that God would move & and give him spiritual eyes and ears and an openness to the gospel.
There was a bit of drama this afternoon with BG. She was accused of something. Her dad went to talk to the other dad(1) who got a little belligerant. George and I are backing BG, She has promised she din’t do what she was accused of doing. What it is doesn’t amount to much, but another dad(2) has gone to the police and is continuing to “stir the pot”. I am glad that George handled it and I really wasn’t involved in it. Prayers for the truth to prevail and for BG to grow and learn from this.
I am sorry to keep coming here & being so needy, but I have another crisis. Well, it’s not really a crisis, but it feels like one to my heart.
This has had me in tears much of the afternoon, & sobbing in the shower…Chrissy announced that she is moving in with the McKs (the tenants who are moving).
She is leaving the opportunity to have a nice large room to herself upstairs, & will be living in a two-bedroom apartment (with only one bathroom) with four other adults, sharing a bedroom with the two daughters. (In case anyone wonders, Chrissy is 21, C is 26, & A is 19.) Supposedly, it was A’s idea, because Chrissy feels she does not get along well enough with Emily. Emily thinks they get along fine. (Emily doesn’t realize that she can be a steamroller on certain things, but they do generally get along well.)
One or another of the McKs will be driving Chrissy over (they only live about 15 minutes away) when she has to help babysit.
She is not taking into account the fact that she needs, even more than me, to be alone & have quiet. She thinks she likes the McKs more than she likes us (she didn’t say that, but I know it), & that she’ll get along better with them.
I had been glad that they (C in particular) were going to have less influence on her, & now she’ll be living with them! This hurts so bad! I feel I am losing my daughter to “bad influences”, but not the kind of bad influences people usually think of.
Chrissy most likely has Asperger’s Syndrome, I am 99% certain. This realization came to me after an initial inkling about it followed by years of lots of reading on the subject, especially on girls with Asperger’s, & a few people privately asking me if she had it. One of the aspects of it that especially is seen in “Aspie” girls is that they tend to take on the attitudes & such of their close friends. I have seen my Chrissy change over the last couple years, especially, & she has sometimes exhibited an attitude towards social issues a lot like C’s (very liberal & unbiblical). She used to be against abortion, but I think C has changed her mind on that.
Over the past couple months, maybe longer, I have felt more of a burden to pray more deeply (can’t think of the word I really mean) for Chrissy. Now I see why.
Although my heart is hurting & tending towards panic, my head is telling me that there is no way she can be happy with no privacy, no quiet alone time. She will begin to see the McKs in their day-to-day lives & attitudes, their faults & such, & realize that they aren’t as wonderful as she thought they were.
I am praying for that, & that she will miss us & come home before too long. My fear, the panic I mentioned, that I’m trying to fight with faith & prayer, is that she will be lead further away from God, & deeper into ungodly & worldly attitudes. My faith is telling me that God is allowing this for a reason, & I need to hang tight, keep praying, & keep believing.
I told Chrissy that she always has a home here, & to not be afraid to come back home.
Although I am trying to meet this new blow with faith, I am heartbroken, & feeling like I’ve been knocked for another loop.
oh, Karen, what a blow. That is so hard. Let yourself cry. You did tell her the right thing and now you just have to wait and pray as you are doing. Thanks for letting all of us pray wih you.
Karen, you know my tendency to rush in and “fix” things by telling you what to do. All I am going to tell you right now is that I was the daughter of an alcoholic mother. I lived the last two months of high school at a friend’s house. I would go home when I knew my dad was there and visit with him and pick up a some “operating cash”. For a while I turned my back on God. I didn’t go to church. While I was still a very judgemental person, I was more open minded. I was “pro-choice”, I was live and let live—by my judgemental standards. I was self absorbed and selfish. Looking back I know I hurt my father’s heart more than once. I also know he gave up a lot for me. I can’t guarantee it because I just don’t know, but like Emily had to go off and learn a hard lesson about R, you are going to have to let Chrissy go and learn a hard life lesson. It won’t make it easier on you, but at least you suspect the McK’s are Christians. It is better than if she went to live with her aunt and uncle isn’t it?
I beat myself up as a mother all the time. All I see are the mistakes I have made. I think every mother on this blog can list the mistakes they made and I try to feel better about it. YOU are a good mother. You pray for your children. You love them with your whole heart. Unfortunately they are their own people and they are going to do stupid things. We, from our more mature perspective can see the danger, but part of growing up and becoming responsible is stumbling, falling, and picking ourselves back up. As trite as it sounds you have got to love Chrissy enough to let her go. All of us are praying that she comes back.
I know it hurts. Give yourself permission to cry, feel the hurt, and accept that how you feel is how you feel. You are so tenderhearted and that is what we all love about you.
Wishing I could make it better,
Kim
I will keep praying, too. Kim and Karen, you (among some others) are in one of the most difficult phases of parenting. It’s easy to think of all the worst case scenarios. Chrissy, like all young people will have to learn the hard way. Yet, she will be close enough to you, Karen, to probably keep some of the worst at bay. It will not be too long and both of you may be surprised at how things have changed.
People who are not our family, often seem to accept things that our family would not. That can seem to be freeing. I think this is especially true of mothers and daughters. It may seem easier to live in a place where little is required of you, but it will probably get tiring, in the long run. A nice uncluttered, clean home will seem nice at some point, no doubt.
Hang in there! Praying, too, that BG will mature into all God would desire!
Chas – I didn’t mention a Chas, so maybe you misread something.
Kim – Much of what you wrote, I was thinking last night, specifically that Chrissy has to learn a lesson for herself. Maybe being away from us will help her appreciate how good she had it when she was here.
As for the McK’s being Christian, I’d say the mom & dad are, but they’ve been quite spotty in church attendance over the years, & I don’t think they have a strong biblical perspective. Referring to her supposedly very devout nephew marrying an unbeliever, M said something like “We can’t help who we fall in love with.” On her parents not being a part of a church body for the last 20 or 30 years of their lives, she said it was okay because they still had Christian friends they “gathered” with from time to time.
As much as I love her, I’ve always thought M’s Christianity was kind of wishy-washy.
And then there are the daughters, C & A, who have the most influence on Chrissy. C is the young friend I’ve mentioned having Facebook discussions with. She still claims to be a believer, but everything else she has written points to a very unbiblical worldview. She is adamantly pro-same-sex-marriage, believes Jesus is “all about love & equality” (“equality” referring to homosexuality). And she’s the one who referred to unborn babies as parasites, & said that no woman should be forced to carry a clump of alien-like cells for nine months.
C also hates Republicans & conservatives, railing about how they treat homosexuals, women, & POC (people of color) like sub-humans with no rights. She referred to Concerned Women for America as the most terrifying misogynist hate group she could think of. She has also written very derisively about fellow Christians on more than one occasion.
Not only does she greatly exaggerate, I have reluctantly come to believe that she sometimes outright lies.
The younger daughter, A, who is Chrissy’s best friend from early childhood, is a lesbian with a girlfriend, & involved in some minor LGBT activism.
Then there is the matter of the extreme messiness & dirtiness. I have come to believe that my dear friend M, as well as her family, has some serious spiritual/emotional problems. They are “messy” in other ways, such as being chronically late, & undisciplined in their financial decisions.
So basically, they may call themselves Christians, & may even believe in Jesus, but they are not living the way Christians should. (And I’m sorry if I sound judgmental about that. I didn’t come to this determination easily or quickly.)
If they’re aware that these are habits are contrary to the Christian life — and are fighting them (even though they may continue to fail) — that’s one thing. But it sounds as if they’re not (which is among the dangers of falling out of regular church attendance where you put yourself under biblical teachings, at a minimum on a weekly basis).
I have a feeling Chrissy will be back home soon enough.
It must be very hard, though, to be a parent of a teen/young adult especially now with so many cultural norms falling by the wayside so fast. My heart goes out to you, praying that your girl will return home soon. You did right to reassure her that she always has a home with you.
Karen, you need a little dose of my judgementalism and I need a dose of your always believing the best of people….although I have learned many a lesson the hard way.
“…..a lot like C’s (very liberal & unbiblical). She used to be against abortion, but I think C has changed her mind on that”.
I went back and read it and it still said “Chas”. It wasn’t until copied and pasted that I noticed the space that says “C has changed her mind”.
My bad.

Tomorrow is the court date for the custody hearing. R has threatened to file for a continuance. We are hoping he doesn’t, because we want this settled, & also because the longer this goes, the more we pay the attorney.
You have blessed us with another day to worship and glorify You. Sometimes I am so amazed about how You coordinate things like the activity that we did in Sunday School perfectly matched the music and sermon. It was not in the book to do that activity but You gave me the idea and it aligned with the worship service so the children got a wonderful reinforcement! Only by Your means and methods do things work out so divinely.
Lord, seeing all the needs here on the prayer thread and knowing the suffering folks are going thfough, I ask You to show more of Your divine ways of working good into the lives of these families. The parents are strong believers and honor You with their thoughts, actions and gifts of time and finances. Please help them in these hours of need. Bless Mumsee and Mike day after day during their time of living in two different communities.. You know each and every need they face. Please be generous in Your provision.
Please help BG and all involved in that situation to be able to get to a good and reasonable solution. You know the truth of the matter. I pray there will be no lasting damage such as emotional wounds or slander affecting reputation. Help ease Kim’s feelings of loss over BG living with her dad. You have provided well for BG over the years through Kim’s diligence as a mom. Help her to rest easily in knowing she did her best under difficult circumstanes.
I ask You, Abba, to be with Karen and Lee as they suffer feelings of loss, too. Please give them daily guidance and patience to deal with Chrissy’s move. Please open Chrissy’s eyes and heart to become fully aware of the difference found in a good Christian home such as her parents provided. Bring her home as a wiser and more discerning young lady capable to make the best choices for her life while single. I ask that You also work things in the favor of Emily in the court. Again, Lord, You know the needs. Thank You for Your upcoming provisions.
Please give a good delivery to H. since she went into labor earlier. May mom and baby quickly recover from the ordeal of birth.
I thought of something earlier: Almost seven years ago, Emily moved out within a month of the McKs moving in. Now Chrissy is moving out as they move out.
But Emily came back home. And I really do believe Chrissy will, too, though I don’t know how long it will take. My utmost concern, beyond where they live, is for each of them to come back to God.
I’ve been praying that if it is God’s will, & won’t hinder His plan for Chrissy, to please let this plan fall through, or let the McKs change their mind about it. But, if it is His will for her, & this is part of leading her back to Him, then may it go forward. Above all else, may His will be done. Amen.
Kim – I saw a quote that struck me as applying to your situation with BG & mine with Chrissy. “Sometimes you need to have everything fall apart so you can rebuild stronger.”
Let’s pray that our relationships with our girls will come out stronger than ever, & that they will all come through these various trials & situations with rock-solid faith in the Rock of Ages.
