PS. I have temporarily opened my comment box if you would like to talk to me. I would love to hear from you, I don't want controversy though because what I am posting on here, for the most part, is my bleeding heart. I'm working too hard starting over and I don't need the added aggravation. BTW, do not write PM's because I do not have access to the e-mail connected to this blog. If you want to write to me privately please write to prisonerofhope1953@yahoo.com. Love you all, POH

Connie

I am so glad that you have turned your comments back on - Your strength is amazing - God is doing wonderful work in you life. You may not see it yet - but He is completing "YOU".

You have grown so much and I know that some growth has growing pains - and after you have time to look back on it all - you will see that it was worth it. Grow my friend and flex your God given power to be "all that you can be" - never let anyone - and I mean ANYONE - ever - limit you or tell you that you can't do it unless it is God.

Trust Him and your natural knowing that is His Holy Spirit - and you will never be wrong. That doesn't mean we won't make mistakes - but it does mean with mistake we all grow stronger against the devils influences. YOU GO GIRLFRIEND - SPRED YOUR WINGS AND FLEX YOUR GOD GIVEN POWER. I am proud to know you and you are welcome in my home any day you want to be hear - UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FROM ME TO YOU! My heart to yours.

You my boy, Caleb. Knowing you are there is a great comfort to me. Not to worry....I'm okay. I miss my grandchildren so so much. Not sure what to do about that. Short of God-knows-what kind of 'repentance' (the down on the old girl knees with some begging and pleading is probably what is expected) I don't know if I will ever be accepted back into the 'family' that I created. It was then....it is now....all a farce, isn't it Caleb? Remember when we were in the toy store on Broadway? Remember how all I could think about was how Jenny...or Brandy....or Sabrina....would like this, that or the other thing? I still do that Caleb, except now it is Ryan, Ashlyn and Christina. I saw these 'Cars' placemats and wanted to buy one for Ryan...then I realized that if I spent my hard to come by money on it, and for the postage to send it, that he probably won't get it. Family....the word leaves a very bittersweet taste in my mouth now. I wrote something a few years ago in a diary I was keeping and there was the line, "My family......the last bastion of my idolatry".........wow, I guess that says it all, doesn't it? They can never say I didn't care.....methinks I cared too much. I still do. They're moving on and I'm still grieving. Why, Caleb, why?

Lookin',

In my strong moments I know that what you say is true. That God is doing this spectacular work in my life. Teaching me.....growing me up....and comforting me all the while. In my weak moments I say, like I just said to Caleb......'why?'......'why?'.......'why?'

I cannot imagine rejecting someone I don't even love for doing something I don't agree with, let alone rejecting someone I purport to love. I don't understand....and the the fact that they won't communicate with me hinders my understanding. Without the understanding it hinders my healing.

I am moving on, Lookin', but I'm broken in a way that I've never been before. Thank you so much for your solid support and communication, even in this incredibly busy time in your own life. You are a dear, dear friend and I love you.

I agree with Caleb... nothing hurts more than to discover that the ones you loved - didn't truly love back. You, being a Mother knows what the meaning of "Unconditional love" means - That is why you still grieve - and why they don't ...

But You are the one ahead - because God loves you just that way and maybe that is why they don't understand that either - they don't know what it means to love Rejoice my friend - You do and have learned life's hardest lesson...

No one dies of a broken heart - that is a proven fact - Right?

Makes you feel like you can't trust your own sense of people, Lookin'. Maybe you are right about not dying of a broken heart......but it makes you feel like you want to sometimes.

Connie,

I am happy you are accepting comments again. I have been reading your posts without an opportunity to comment.

In regard to today's post:

He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him.
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; wake him.
He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man; follow him. (Persian Proverb)

Thanks Whit.......

I've had that exact quote in my journal for a couple of years after having it on my refrigerator even longer. Thank you for reminding me.

Lookin' asked me to open my comment box so I did. The last time it was open though it was a firestorm over here so that is why I closed it I have to go to work in a minute so I won't be on for a while.

I know that many people consider that meeting people on the internet is a bad thing.....sometimes, when one is as enclosed as I was in my life, it is the only way to know people. I consider you my friend, Whit, and I thank you for being such a good one to me.
