Prayers

Missy - I will definitely say prayers for strength for you, but I'll add some that you realize the strength you already possess {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}

It's so easy to say "God give me patience!" and we think at the time that we're going to get it FROM God.  but instead ... He tends to work in our lives so we *develop* it.  It's tough -- oh man, I've been there.

I've had many times in my life that were nothing but seemingly endless trials -- and yes, it built patience.  But it also built in me that thing that always looks for the good thing ... what can I take away from this ... how am *I* different ... what GOOD happened here ... what did I learn ... how can I turn this into at least SOME good?????.

It honestly doesn't make it any easier to get thru it but it does tend to slow us down and make us more accepting, but it also tends to slow you down on the other end so you are a bit more careful of what you do, what you say ... in other words ... enter into a thing more carefully to minimize the need for the patience??  Does that make any sense at all??

In many ways patience has to become a habit .. at least with me anyway.  Because if I wait to ask for it when I need it it's probably too late and I'm all upset already. 

Yes, deartheart I've already prayed -- and you've been on my heart for days .. and now, I guess I know why!

Willow sends chow type strength to you!

Missy,

I so rarely get on the forum lately, but I happened to see this tonight.  I've been concerned for you and hoping that everything is okay.  I know how awful it is to feel like you can't handle what's being put before you, and not knowing what the future days, weeks or months have in store.  As cliche as it sounds, the best we can do is just take one day, even one hour, at a time.  Even when I'm not in a crisis, I try to tell myself that.  But, it's much easier said than done.  Just use the help and support offered by family & friends, even those who've never met you!  And also remember that you have a very special, 4-legged guardian angel who will watch over you and stay in your heart, even when you're feeling most alone.  Sending strong vibes of courage & patience across the miles to you! 

 We're praying for you. And Rupert wants to send some nuzzles, too.

I hope that your prayers will be answered in the way that is best for you.  It sounds like you could use a hug, so here's a big one from us...

Missy - I'll echo what Spiritdogs has said so gracefully - I hope for the best outcome for you and that you find all the strength you require.

Missy, all I can add to what's been said above are my (((HUGS))) & kisses from the boyz.

I do not know what is going on in your life now,but just wanted to let you know we're praying for you. Just remember,once you've hit bottom,the only way you can go is up! Things happen for a reason,sometimes it doesn't make sense,but God has his ways.

Missy,  I'm so sorry I missed your original posts but you'll be in my prayers.  I know what it feels like to feel you've hit bottom - hang in there.   I've been repeating to myself "if it weren't for the depths of the valleys we'd never understand the beauty of the view from the mountaintop".   I'll pray that you can see the path up to that mountaintop soon.
