A loved one is in turmoil. He's a young loved one and he's an Iraq Army Vet.
I can't pray specifically, just that he gets some wisdom and some peace pretty quickly. And I pray God will help him find his true home.
Thanks for the prayers.
P.S. Beautiful music!
I’m not his grandma. I’m his aunt. I’m his Godmother.
I’m only 40 myself.
Thank you for praying. I have emailed my prayer-warriors...but this fence is so high...
This situation is so complicated and nuts...
...I keep telling myself that I can only give my love....and I CAN’T give anymore because I paid a lot to help him escape the situation that he went back to...
We will be here.... regardless.
Oh maaaannnn.....I'm sorry......
I don't know, this is SOOO easy to say and yet SO hard to do...is "tough love" in order now? Protect the innocent children, at all costs, but if you've helped him, and he's only gone back to the old ways...??? Again, it's REALLY easy for me to sit here and type that and it's REALLY hard to do...
I have done this. I took a trip at the behest of my brother to retrieve my great-niece. While I was in the midst of this, my nephew decided he wanted to also come home...so I rented the Uhaul and daddy and daughter drove home.
...only he didn’t really mean it...I guess.
Because after three weeks here, he flew back to Maryland saying that he had issues with the National Guard.
He has stayed in Maryland where the woman is.
I don’t know what it is with guys and CERTAIN women....
I know that he has issues.
He went into the war zone twice.
But it’s no longer war...it’s life.
His other family members are VERY easy on him.
*I* am the one that emailed him that his daughter got an S- in
attention seeking and being nice to others.
Can you go for custody of the child?
There are THREE children of my nephew’s.
The girl he had them with (and he married her) had TWO kids before his.
She gave those away to their father.
And she’s about 24, I think.
She has a kid a year...
I’m pretty certain that she’s not taking my great-niece back..
I’m pretty sure she’s gonna be looking for a home for my 3 -year old great-nephew and my 1 year great-niece.
Because she’s pregnant again!!!
It’s a MESS.
I’m heading to bed....I’ve sent you 2 FRmails...I pray SOMETHING in there can be of use...
Bless you BLESS you for trying, for loving....
BTTT
Prayers up.
Here is the number of the National VA suicide Hotline...
1-800-273-talk( 8255)
anyone can call on behalf of a veteran, as well as the veteran. they will tell you what you can do or where he can get help.
For most VA encounters, it will not interfere with his getting a job. If he does something rash however, by not getting help, THAt would interfere with his getting a job.
prayer bump
I join in earnest prayer for this beloved Vet.
Joining in with prayers up for you and your family.
God bless you and your sweet beloved one. May the Father help him find peace and deliver him from the toils of darkness which assail him. Let God be magnified in all the earth and in our hearts!
Sending prayers for peace for your loved one.
Dear Lord, help this young veteran find peace in his life. Amen
