mommaduck Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I am a mess. I am struggling as a mom, a wife, a friend, a Christian. I feel like I'm failing at it all. My faith is very strong, but it's hard to hold on to it when I'm feeling hopeless every single day. I just need prayers. Thank you. praying, sweetie.

Heather in Neverland Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Nakia you have a beautiful heart... it shows in everyone of the photos you take. You have a gift. Have you considered branching out and expressing your feelings through photographs? Some people journal, you could make beautiful photography as an outlet. I can only imagine the stunning art you could produce. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenL Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: to you, Nakia! Just a few weeks ago, I was right where you are. I sat down one night (alone), and I fell apart. I prayed fervently, asking God to guide me & carry me because I couldn't do it anymore. Since then, I have felt his presence. I'm not 100%, but I'm feeling stronger. Take it minute-by-minute if you have to, and keep praying. You are not alone. We're here for you, and I've lifted you up. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." I'm so sorry you're feeling so down.

SunshineMom Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Sending you and your family prayers.....Just wanted to tell you that many of us struggle in the spring for it is the last push towards summer which for many is a break from school. Know that hardly anybody gets "all" the curriculum for the year that they hoped to have done or that their children meet grade requirements. I heard SWB once say that we really need to focus our teaching efforts on who our children will be as college students rather than year to year. That bit of advice really helps me when my thinking gets to narrow i.e. subject or year. Spring is also a time of renewal in our family life, relationships, and our spiritual goals. It may just be your time to take a little break, to renew your spirit. My thoughts are with you and I hope you find a little peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Praying!!! Remember, when you don't feel as though you can hold on, Jesus is still holding on to you! And he always will be. Nothing can snatch you out of his hand. Nothing that happens surprises him. Sometimes I think all of life comes down to what we teach in 2 yo SS. Especially when things are difficult and our worlds seem to be unraveling. Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
