This months challenge at ScrapFaith.blogspot.com "how our prayers were answered"-- and since ALL my prayers have been answered... I picked the most recent one. Please excuse the crappy cell phone picture. I used all the goodies from BluEyeDezines LEAVE A COMMENT AND I WILL PICK A FEW RANDOM POSTS AND SEND YOU SOME BLUE EYED LOVE... Thank you for looking, Laura The journaling reads:Top Three List of Things to Pray For has been the same since November. I am so grateful that Pat and Lynn were honest about the issues they were facing. At that time they were both considering suicide because they were simply overwhelmed with everything. They spent years dealing with their kid's addiction problems which left them emotionally exhausted and financially depleted. With their energy focused on those problems, they lost their ability to manage their own financial affairs and their business. Subsequently, they lost their cars and their home. With all of this gone, their marriage suffered and they felt totally defeated in every way. They were brave enough to share all of this with me. Even the parts that weren't pretty and that really hurt to talk about. Better yet, they were willing to let me help. I began by enlisting the help and support of their families. Both Pat and Lynn were willing to seek medical attention to alleviate their depression. We sat down and did some realistic goal setting and made attainable benchmarks for progress. We managed their finances together and made a hard budget. Then, I took the most important step, I prayed .Now it is eight months later. Both Pat and Lynn and emotionally, spiritually and financially healthy, happy and free. They are in a beautiful home, they finances are in order, they both have jobs they enjoy and their marriage is stronger. Both Jeff and I are so grateful to have them as friends and trusted partners in our lives. They have been such a blessing and an inspiration to know that even when things appear to be at their worst, everything is answered through prayer.
