Mog - I haven't been writing much these days. I'm totally off my game. The difficult child's are ok, but the marriage hasn't been all that great.
I know what you mean about handing it off to God. Have you ever read the verse "Footprints"? Read through this - it'll bolster your faith and allow you to trust again. Listen: all of us feel like failures sometimes, and we all know that you've done the best you can for all of them, biological and steps. Stop beating yourself up - you deserve better than this. No need to feel lonely - PM some of us if you just need to talk. Heck - I didn't know you were in Albequerque - my brother lives out there! It's a beautiful place to live! Hope this finds you in better spirits!

Footprints
One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
