I am in need of prayers for direction and strength

[mattbenmom]

:o. Okay here is the deal ladies. At our adoption party my god daughter announced she is pregnant and she has broken up with her boyfriend and lost her place to live. She is special needs 19years old and hoping she is able to step it up and keep the baby. The family as a whole knows that she can't keep it together long enough to be a mom but we are trying to let her come to that decision on her own. She has told me if she can't handle it she wants me to adopt the baby ( a little girl due in April) I am not sure if I could handle parenting a child whose birth mom is part of our family. While this is going on my 2nd oldest god daughter broke up with her boyfriend and stopped taking her meds and is currently in the psych ward at the hospital. Mean while their mom (my BFF ) has been diagnosed with yet another round of cancer this time skin and is having surgery tomorrow and starting radiation on Friday. Most of you know that I also have a 12 year old who is placed in a residential living facility and visits home have not gone well. Today I had a meeting with his staff in which I made it clear that he can't come home for the whole christmas visit because it's not fair to the other kids but that doesn't feel good either to have the family apart like this. Soooooo I am asking for prayers of guidance, strength, and peace. I feel like I have it mostly under control and in check right now but I am STRESSED!! And have to keep my other kids and obligations in check. With the holidays coming I need to maintain to say the least. Ugh!!! ??? ???

Erin,

That's alot to go thru all at one time, plus have the rest of your kids to also care for and your Mom. Lots on your plate at one time.

Sending lots of Prayers and {{HHUUGGSS}}

I'm glad you knew where to come, (the new board) and came on over here for support, encouragement and love, knowing we have/will give it to you. I want to affirm to you, that you are a GREAT MOM to all these children and then to be a helper to your extended "family"!!!!

I'm not very good at the praying thing. However, I think of you and your family many times a day. Strength, hope, wisdom and clarity are my dreams for you. I guess when I think of you many times a day and say in my head, "God, give Erin strength", that may count as praying.

Oh Erin, it just doesn't seem to settle down for you, does it? Sending you prayers for peace, strength and guidance.

Wow you sure do have a lot on your plate right now. Thinking of you and sending you good vibes....like bunsy I'm not very good at the whole praying thing. I hope you friend gets better. I know it is never easy to not have your family together for the holidays so extra hugs for you.
