what we need to be doing...
is praying for our SKs. I know that it's difficult to do when you're angry at them, but guess what, it's ok to be angry with them & not like them very much, we are allowed to be angry as long as we don't seek revenge or plot bad things against our SKs. As I told you, me & my Bio kids have been instructed to pray for SD for the next 2 weeks and we've been doing so faithfully.
Last night, my DH called me from his mother's house & informed me that SD was coming home Monday. Now, i don't know if that's actually going to happen or not becuz anything can happen between now & monday. But when I heard that news, I felt very disappointed, but began to pray about it.
Well this morning, I woke up really early & was praying about it again, when I got up to go downstairs, the TV was on in SD's bedroom. The door was closed but i could see the light of the tv thru the crack between the floor & bottom of the door. So, i thought that DH brought her home last night before I got home & she just went up to her room. Now I was really disappointed. But it was ok. I came back up & got ready to go to work then DH comes in & tells me that the TV is on in SD's bedroom. I said I know, i thought she was coming home Monday. He says to me, she's not in her room, she's not here. Now, i know for a fact that neither of my girls have been in SD's room. I have always respected her privacy & have taught my girls to respect each other's privacy. No one has been in that room for weeks, but the TV came on by itself. I don't know how or why but it did.
Someone had advised me & my husband to pray over our children's rooms & i had prayed over my girls, but hadn't over SD's room till this morning after we noticed the tv was on in her room.
Now I don't know what you all believe & I won't even go into what I believe becuz more than likely, many of you will think that I'm just crazy. But i do know that no matter what is going on in our personal relationships w/our SK's, we need to be praying for them & for our Bio Kids everyday. You see, we have no idea what our SK's are being exposed to while they are off w/bio mom's. I've read many blogs where the blogger has stated that the Bio mom's are on drugs or invovled in other illicit behaviors that the SK is being exposed to while visiting w/them. And we wonder WHY these kids act like the devil at times. I'm not trying to pawn my religious beliefs off on anyone, i'm just sharing with you what I believe we need to be doing for the SK's regardless of how are situations turn out or the circumstances that are in front of us. Prayer not only helps them, but it will help us too.

That's a nice reminder schrob01
I'm not religious but I do believe in the power of positive intention. Prayer, to me, is thinking kind thoughts towards someone. That's powerful stuff. So I will take your advice and pray for my skids. It can't hurt. And, if nothing else, it will help me to maintain an attitude of kindness and compassion towards them. So thank you.
I'm on board with this
So timely, schrob. Sometimes that's all we can do--and then ask for strength and wisdom when we do need to speak and act.
I pray for mine (and all of yours too!) all the time.
I pray that God will help them, because their parents aren't. They're saying mean things about the other patent, are bitter, and a lot of them aren't setting correct boundaries. Plus I know that these kids are hurting over a lot of things. I pray that God will ease their hurt.
what do you do when
you don't pray? I dont believe in it.....so what should I do?
Give yourself a few moments of quiet time
To breathe deeply and visualize light.
Do you worry?
I don't know what i would do w/out prayer Girlfriend. If i didn't believe in the power of prayer then I guess that would mean that i didn't believe in a power greater than myself to work things out for my good or for the good of others also. So I guess I would be worrying and wondering all of the time if things were ever going to get better in my marriage, in my life, in my children's lives. I remember I used to not believe and I always felt desperate & anxious & hopeless about everything & I always felt as if something was missing inside of me that would make me a complete and whole person. When I didn't believe, i was afraid & I tried to do everything in my own power that i could think of to turn things around & when you've done everything in your power, the only thing left to do is to let go & let God. When i didn't believe I thought that i was in control of things, i would plan things as if I were in control & then when my plans & my works would go up in smoke I'd be dissapointed. But when I started to believe & lean not on my own understanding but in all my ways acknowledge that there is a God, He began to set my paths straight. He showed me His plan & that He is in control & that all I need to do is keep believing that things can ONLY get better. So what should you do? I guess keep on worrying, but worrying is no way to live. I've been there. Worry will make you age, worry will make you ill. Worry will rob you of your joy & I know that in spite of all of the things that WE are all going thru, there are still good times to be had & a lot to be joyful about. Now it doesn't mean that I don't have my moments of desperation, becuz we ALL do, we're all human, but I'm relying upon a God who created the entire universe to solve it for me. It's not my battle, the battle belongs to Him but the victory is mine! I'll be praying for you Sia!
