| Housecleaning My partner, Sandra, committed suicide on February 4, 2008. I got depressed and reached out to my pastor who left yesterday and does not want to keep in touch. I had a sponsor from AA and she said today that my problems were distressing her and she wanted out of our relationship. On Monday I had to end my therapy because of money issues. My son, Karl, lost his job and is being evicted. He is also on trial for a crime he did not commit. It's a long story. So I am turning to this board and to God. He is doing some housecleaning in my life and I am going to try to remain optimistic. I am also going to seek out a grief support group. AA is not enough for me right now. I am looking forward to meeting people on this board. ![]() |

| I don't really know what to say. I lost two friends to suicide a few years ago. I am lifting up prayers for you and your family.For God to draw you closer to Him than you have ever been. |

| Protect the Baby My son Karl has fallen on hard times. I will spare you the details. We were talking on the phone the other day and the conversation turned to God. He said to me, "No matter what mom I have to protect the baby. I will take four bullets in the back to protect the baby." I said, "What do you mean? Who is the baby?" He replied, "The baby is my faith." I was quiet and then said, "Goodnight." That night I had "another" dream about babies. I have been having these dreams for years and years. In the dreams the babies are always in trouble. They are starving, emaciated, hungry, injured, bleeding, crying and in danger. I am trying desperately to save them. I always blame myself for their plight. I have always wondered if these babies represent me or my children. Now I wonder if the babies represent my faith. Who knows . . . ![]() |

| Psalm 139: 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. and the Lord says... Proverbs 8:17 “I love all who love me.Those who search will surely find me. Let the Lord be your comfort in this time of sorrow and grief. You will not find a better comfort in all the world. |
