Tried to get a new picture super fast before church on Sunday.lol
I would appreciate prayer for my children. Like my counselors said, the wall of protection they had put up from the abuse, is coming down. Some of them act really different now and I need some wisdom on how to handle that. They are amazing kids, that have been through way too much. They all have such sweet loving hearts to help others. It is hard to give each one the attention needed to deal with things. I have started doing what one wise woman told me...take those moments when you find yourself alone with one of them and connect with them for just a minute. I really like this, it's like little hugs, or a small tickle to get a smile, or telling them how beautiful they are. And trying to smile at each one when they look at me, this is hard for me at this point, and I don't know why. I was once accused of being too nice to my kids. I would like to be there again, it is so hard to find the balance in being firm enough to keep the peace without being so harsh you are not pleasant.
On a flip note, a big burden has been lifted, my soon to be ex husband has confessed to some of his crimes, taking away that fear of will he really be convicted. Now it's just a matter of when and how long. God's hand works in every area of my life. I do have a lot of legal issues I still need to work out in regards to the children. So prayer in that area is appreciated. Thanks!

My eyes are brimming with tears at the great joy of seeing our God be faithful. What is more, is seeing your faithfulness to trust in the Lord with all your heart and how you have not leaned on your own understanding but trusted Him. It is so beautiful to see the relationship God intended played out right before my eyes. Thanks for being such a testimony Holly!
My tears also flow from seeing the song God of Angel Armies posted above. It brings to mind when the Lord prophetically had me sing that song to you. I was discouraged when I shared it with you because it didn't seem to touch you the way I felt the Lord pouring through me to you. I now see that it sometimes just takes time for God to work in our hearts and that His prophetic is not wasted, we just have to be faithful to deliver it and allow Him to do the heart work to bring it about in others.
I love and miss you Holly and I wish I could be closer to walk through this with you. Thanks for being the best friend a girl could ever have!
