Change, change, change................

Like some of my fellow bloggers I to seemed to drop off for a minute. But I am back. I can say life is different. It is amazing how things can change so quickly and you find yourself feeling so alone. I have been told I am going thru what can be called as an end to a Season and now a new one begins. Nice. I sometimes have to remind myself that God is in control and I just need to sit on my hands and let him be.
My world has been a bit of a mess. Like my friend RB, I have been faced with the fact that we are all here for just a short time and we need to be sure that those that we love know it not only by our words but by our actions also.
My mom almost died last week and I was so scared and so alone. All I could do is just go thru the motions and Pray that God will get us thru this. One of my wayward sons was in a bad car accident in the same week and had to have surgery. Of course he is going to be ok he just won't be walking for a few months. Once again the fear grows. Then my relationship finally was laid to rest after weeks of striving to keep it together. Oh so alone.
I know that I have my responsibility in this relationship ending but I can't help but feel like I gave so much to this man and was there for him for the last 3 years . I supported him no matter what he was going thru. It didn't matter if he made bad choices or not. Then when I needed his support and understanding and patience he basically left me hanging. His way or the highway. I guess his love wasn't deep or real enough to try to work thru our problems. Forgiveness is the key to happiness. God knows I have been very forgiving of him. Unfortunately this man does not know how to forgive for real and that is so sad.
I rely on God to bring all of us thru these changes in our lives and of course I only want Darren to be happy.
I'm going to miss all of the Buckmans as well as Christ Community Church. But as it is, I was told to stay away from him and his family. So I shall. I will find another Christian Community that I can join I'm sure of that. I know that God does love me and wants me and my sons , so He will lead us to a place that we can Worship Him and hear His Word.
I'm also starting my AA and NA meetings again. This is a time when I should not be alone.
Thats it for now, next time will be way more upbeat I promise.

Sometimes I think I have so much to write here but once I get started I clam up. I have recently been Blessed with the return of my 3rd son, Billy, to my home. He is 16 years old and he and his 14 year old brother have been in foster care for a few years now. I have worked very hard to comply with what the county has asked yet still I have been told it isn't good enough. So what do I do?? Sometimes I get so discouraged. I mean who are they to give me one son back but then cut both me and him off from the other son???? I understand that the county has made alot of bad decesions regarding leaving children in homes when they should have been removed before it is too late but what about the children who they remove and refuse to give back to the parents?? who makes these decisions, I don't kn ow. All I can do is stay strong and rely on God to move in these people to see that I am a good loving person and my boys would be so much better off if we could once again be a family.
