[QUOTE="nvts, post: 309435, member: 3814"] 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! Beth [B][B]Footprints[/B] [/B][B][B]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." [/B][/B] [B] [/B] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=1][/SIZE][/FONT] [/B] [/QUOTE]
