There are many scriptures to read and stand on concerning what you are going through now. How to deal with your children, your pain and realitity. Remember you have to choose to stand on faith. Right now you want to stand on someone who you can feel. In most cases, whether through embarassment or whatever, you will find yourself standing alone. You have to encourage yourself as David did, choose to dip into the sugar and make lemonaide. As you fight parole, court, pain, anger, guilt, or whatever, you need to know that evil thrives when good men do nothing. I promise you this ~ God did not do this, man did. Even if you think you don't have the strength or even want to, God has His promises there for you. YOU have to CHOOSE to pick up his promises, and take back your life and the lives of your children. Yes, God could of stopped this from happening. But if He had stopped it, He would of also had to stop his son's crucification. He has provided you with the way out, it is through HIM! These are the scriptures that we lived on through all this and continue to live on everyday. I pray that they will bring peace and the ability to release your anger, bitterness and pain. God Bless You!

And I will be found of you, saith the Lord. and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations. and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord, and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is why it is so important to listen to God. Its not that he doesn't want us to have fun and all, but that we don't see hidden disasters. I wanted to go full time ministry. God would of led the way, but I jumped on the opportunity to travel with Tony. God saw what he was, I just saw a chance to be working in the ministry. Had I waited and listened, God would led me another way and opened the door for full time ministry ~ just as He has with the prison ministry. Please remember .... You don't have to suffer alone!
