I have finally after all these years resolved that we can forgive, but do not have to live in Toxicity. I have had to distance myself for the safety and well being of my girls. I had to do it for a long time with my boys too.<br />And even though this person is older, things have not really changed all that much. She knows now that I am not effected by her words. She has tried to cause issues with siblings in law and siblings. It doesn't work. <br />I have resolved to call her and check on her and to pray for her....but that is as far as I can go at this time.<br />I just really fell sad for her.<br /><br />Your blog is VERY important. 2 or 3 of my daugther's in law read you all the time! :) <br />I read you too! And you have wonderful things to say.<br />Let the water of the Spirit flow over you and refresh you today dear sister. <br />And, I can assure you, that whoever said you are going against God's annointed is ABSURD! <br />I have an uncle who said my sons were going to hell because we didn't circumcise them. I don't recall that in scripture, just like I don't find Dobson, Gothard or the Pearl's in scripture! :)Christie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738612207150868577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084876109811698517.post-80427880712824693442012-03-10T13:34:27.048-08:002012-03-10T13:34:27.048-08:00{{{hugs}}} Sorry I am just now seeing this, becaus...{{{hugs}}} Sorry I am just now seeing this, because I would have (virtually) hugged you sooner.

I cannot thank you more for sharing your heart, your passion and your wisdom brought on by your own experience. Family tends to hurt the deepest-for that I am sorry. It's all such lie-who cares about the whitewashed outside? ya know? Those people have no idea what they are missing and I've never been ok with the whole "don't speak against the lord's anointed thing". Aren't we all "anointed" because Jesus dwells in us? I love you and think you are fabulous! lots of hugs and grace to you!!!Sarahttp://www.simplyflourishing.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084876109811698517.post-54979548203407479272012-03-07T09:23:34.334-08:002012-03-07T09:23:34.334-08:00Thank you all so very, very much for the love and ...Thank you all so very, very much for the love and wisdom in your posts.

If you heart, mind and soul say write - then write because He is calling you.<br /><br />Write for Him alone, no one else.<br /> <br />If others read and are touched that is a bonus. <br /><br />Don't let your emotions grab you - be at peace with Him - connect and be still. Listen. He is calling us to LOVE and if you are writing in LOVE then you are following Him.<br /><br />You are His.<br />Blessings,<br />JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084876109811698517.post-17844621916927202372012-03-06T18:30:12.287-08:002012-03-06T18:30:12.287-08:00I know what you mean about trying to figure out ho...I know what you mean about trying to figure out how to have good boundaries without being closed off or bitterly defensive. I think it helps a little to think of the boundaries as something a little fluid -- some days you have more reserves of that sense of security and fullness in Christ, and you can step out a little more vulnerably. Other days, you need a little more retreat. <br /><br />I am trying to approach my continuing bitter defensiveness by looking for opportunities to express my anger, fear, and sadness -- to a dedicated non-involved listening partner of some kind, or in my journal, or through physical things like pounding on my bed. I think about it as emotional charge, like static electricity, that has to be discharged somehow.Marcyhttp://prochaskas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084876109811698517.post-19917249933672636272012-03-06T15:01:09.413-08:002012-03-06T15:01:09.413-08:00((Hugs)) I hear you!

But the fact is there are other children out there God loves, too, and if He's called us to be vessels to share the gentle part of His multi-faceted character with parents out there, then we can trust Him to fill in any gaps that we leave with our own children. And another fact is that we can't be everything to our children anyway because that would leave no room for God in their lives! I fail daily as a parent, a homeschooler, a wife, a home-keeper, and a Christian, but God uses our weaknesses as much as, if not more than, our strengths to work His perfect will. His peace I leave with you, friend.

I was just recently hurt very badly by someone who was my friend. Its especially painful when it's a friend in the Lord, because you expect more. I just read this last night:<br /><br />"It is not an enemy who taunts me - I could bear that.<br />It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me - I could have hidden from them.<br />Instead it is you - my equal, my companion and close friend.<br />What good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God. " - Psalm 55:12-14<br /><br />God knows your pain, and He knows your heart. Keep calling out to the deep, you are such an encouragement to me. I'm so thankful for you.Lesliehttp://realchilddevelopment.comnoreply@blogger.com
