I have to type this on the side of faith and not fear through the tears, because I know (we know) the Lord has a great plan and purpose for our precious daughter (His will to be done)...
We have had some concerned messages (almost threats from bm)... bm is being influenced by someone else to make some changes, but her parents are concerned for us & their granddaughter too
(as the bf is incarcerated now and may be out soon)...
BM's life is out of control and things are not great, but she feels in doing the right thing she is o.k. with it, but struggle with it all (as she is not taking her meds and not thinking straight).
We want to continue to reassure her - as we have with pictures, letters, etc. What to do? Pray hard!!!
Please pray for our family, I am too tired and too weary, but I know God is in control...
I will pray. Hang in there, and remember that He will provide strength and you can do all things through Him.

thank you for praying Ani, our pastor and family stopped by tonight and prayed, feeling much better,,, gave me a song to sing... "I shall not be moved"...
God is in total control & He has the victory!!!
Do you know the song, "I am not afraid?"
I think it goes like this:
I am not afraid of 10,000s of people who have set them selves against me.
And then one section sings: Arise! Arise! Deliver me O my God.
then the other section sings the not afraid part again...it's a round.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go Joshua 1:9
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust Psalm 4:8
The Lord is my Light and my Salvation - whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? Psalm 1118:6
...be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from him [that strength which His boundless might provides]. Put on God's armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil. Ephesians 6:10-11
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definate requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvatiion through Christ, and so fear nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
I could go on.... There are so many places in God's word that apply. Turn to His word to calm all your fears. I pray the Word of God gives you strength, comfort and courage.

Thank you ALL so much, what an encouragement to read this today. We are standing on the promises of the Lord, this morning I had Psalm 62:2 "He is my defense, I shall not be greatly moved." We know that a BF family member has a big impact on stirring this confusion in the Bm's life. She has had peace all along, but is trying to get on with her life, but we believe the guilt from the other side is causing an unrest on her. Bm's family know we are the ones for our precious one and they are standing with us in this. They will watch their daughter for changes and will let us know any information. We are covered in prayer with the blessings of this precious family...
thank you thankyou for all the encrouagement,,,I am better today, we are standing strong and standing in the gap for our baby girl....
she is so beautiful and the joy that encompasses her life is so amazing...
we know the Lord has a purpose and plan for us all...
ThankU for checking Ani. Taking it one day at a time with much prayer covering from all. Just praying for the well being of all, we have had some eye openers, but it doesn't stop the love and compassion. I actually journaled a long letter of the beginning steps and it just warms my heart to remember, knowing the Lord is in control gives us such a peace.
Had some awesome prayer time and sweet letters of encourgement come from bmom family and that is so inspiring. It really helps keep your focus on what essentially began with the hand of God. Just like Hannah cried - the Lord gave and she gave him back to the Lord.
I am focused and reminded that the Lord has it all...hugs
