Hi ladies:
I need your prayers as a Mother. My oldest daughter Kari ( 19 ) was in a car accident last night getting on the Freeway to go home to Boise. She had just dropped off my other daughter (17) from dinner when about five minutes later I got a call on the pc CallWave and all I heard was crying. When I called her Back, I KNEW something was wrong. She had blacked out and missed her exit, running thru the construction and almost flipping her car. The doctor wanted to know if she was under alot of stress when we took her to ER. Stress ? let me tell you by a list what is on her plate.

Sister was almost raped and sexually assulted five months ago.

She Was engaged to be married In Arkansas to a wonderful young man
GOD brought to her life and called it off after moving to Idaho ( has
wedding dress and everything! ) $950.00 worth

She Got involved with a married man from work!~

After much preaching and doing all i could, I kicked her OUT til she get things better in her life.

she has moved in with a LOST18 year old girl she knows from work.

She has NO money for FOOD~ext.

she is late on her car payment.

Rent is coming up and she don't have it.

she is RUNNING ANGRY from GOD because of all the HYPOCRITE people that have hurt her in life as a pastors daughter. The kicker was when the church(deacon with pull!) turned their back on us when "WE" needed them the most !

Blames herself for what happen to her sister.

All this on the plate of a beautiful intelligent 19 year old girl!!! MY daughter. I have prayed and Prayed and as GOD lead me as a mom, but moreso as a CHILD OF HIS, I told her where she is wrong ( man that is married ) and shared GODS word with her. When things got so bad I had no choice but to PUT HER OUT. (tell them and if they not hear, put them out) That morning God gave me Matthew 18 I don't know what was hardest, when she was here, or now that she is gone. She is now skipping church, her hours at work have diminished as well as her tips.
( $7.00 a NIGHT in earnings!)
I told her that I was going to get a call and she was going to be splattered on the freeway or something to wake up. She don't care if her friend is LOST and has no intention thus far of sharing CHRIST with her. A scarey place to be in ! this was about three weeks ago. Last night I got that CALL! she was pretty upset. I know GOD had it ALL running thru her mind. While in ER the doc told her to SLOW down and rest. I even had an appointment to see a Christian councelor two weeks ago, but SHE WOULD NOT GO! I know she is RUNNING FROM GOD and angry with HIM! Last night she cried and said "what about my house and my car payment! I can't afford to take off work!"
All I could say is 'where is your faith?' GOD IS OUR PROVIDER, not US!
she was told to not even drive for a few days. I can't make her listen to GOD and I can't make her listen to the doctor. I hate that I may still get that call she is on the pavement! ! ! Pray that GOD send someone and anyone to reach her in his word and she come back to HIM!!! Pray for MY family as we endure these things in life. My husband stopped pastoring when the church we were at kicked him out for filing charges on the guy that tried to rape my daughter. said he was out of line! I feel because of that and the hurt my daughters are going thru, he has no desire to pastor, for now. I don't understand. all I know is that as I share GODS word here with all you, he SPEAKS TO ME and strengthens me here for me to GO FORWARD in his service. Today I feel weak!~!
sorry so long, just covet your prayers. As a mother I said,
if you give birth to a baby and it gets sick and is out in the field and out of the dark the enemy comes and tries to TAKE it, YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE it all you got to try and help save it!
I don't know what else to do!!! the enemy has my baby!

I hold tight to the story of the prodigal son. GOD asks us to raise them up in the way they should go and I know we have made some mistakes, but we have done the BEST that we could. She knows the truth and knows that GREATER Is HE that is IN me then he that is in the world!
Today I feel weary!

I dread the day my children are old enough that I cannot always be that "momma bear" and smack the bad people when they come around and smack my children when they do wrong. (figure of speach of course )

I will be praying for you!

Preachywife, right now I just want to give you a big hug and hold on tight. If we didn't know that God is in control, it would be so easy to just give up and quit serving Him when times like these come. But, in the words of an old song, "Who can cheer the heart like Jesus, by His presence all divine. True and tender pure and precious, oh, how blessed to call Him mine!" Jesus has been through it all, and can see you through THIS time, and all your hard times. Look to Him, not the circumstances, and CERTAINLY not the people.
God bless you, honey, and strengthen you, and help you, and uplift you.....
We will be praying.

Dear PW, I know! And she knows. The end of the story hasn't been told yet. Just love her. God IS working on her heart. He knows what she needs to hear.
Our prodigal moved several states away from here and I haven't seen him since July. God sees him. The Holy Spirit went along there too. When he lived in a nearby town he sometimes came to talk while the other kids were at school. The times I made the worst mistakes were when I reacted to what he was doing. Then at times I let him know how grateful I was he had come, that he would always be special to me. That was often when he would say things that gave me little glimpses of God working. I can tell you that God is showing me a lot about my own life. Stubborness, pride, and worse.
Titus says for the older women to teach the younger to love their husband and to love their children. I will be the older woman and beg you to make sure that your husband and all your children know how deeply you love them. Unconditionally, even when they dissappoint you. (We let God down every day.) Do you know how much He loves you? It's awesome.
Trusting God for bringing your beautiful daughter back in time. I cling to Isa. 54:13 "And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children." We have taught them, imperfectly. He is still teaching them-to give them peace. He may not use another accident, dear. He will only use what is best. Thank You, Lord.
You have all been through so much that you can't fix. God can, and He will! We can pray together for obstacles and imaginations to be removed.

Your sister in Christ, Eva

Anyone ever hear of the song: '' sitting at the feet of JESUS'' ? It is my all time favorite song and I love to sing it ! this morning it is on my heart and as I sit here sipping on a cup of coffee(_)@ I praise GOD for all the blessings and answered prayers he has given me. This past Tuesday evening I got a call from my Oldest (prodigal daughter) as she sat on the road side 10 feet from entering the FREEWAY, and was in an accident! My husband, middle daughter and I ran to her side. She claims she blacked out and couldnt see the road and wiped out two HUGE construction cones and almost flipped her car. We took her to the ER due to the Black outs and after sitting there til 2 A.M. and NO tests, we took her home. Although that night I was upset ~ I can now look and THANK GOD she was not hurt or she didnt' kill someone. I KNOW he is working on her. I have a mothers gut feeling she is into something, but do not know what. Last night we had a singing at our tiny little church and had a house full. but better then that, my prodigal came and sat between her daddy and I. The singing was AWESOME!!! no doubt the spirit of the LORD met with us there in that place. THe songs were awesome and spoke to many hearts( mine included ) and I kNOW that he spoke in song to my daughter. about 3/4 of the way through the night, she got up and went to the kitchen.. My prayers immediately went to " LORD~ CARRY THIS EVEN TO THE OUTSIDES OF THIS BUILDING THAT THE WAYWARD AND THE LOST MAY HEAR." I thank My Lord that my daughter was there and seeing GOD dealing with her even blesses me more.. For he says, HE chastens his own and if we are not chastened, we are but bastards and know not the Father. ( paraphrase ) I could go on all morning long. JUST ~ I want to thank all of you that are praying for MY DAUGHTER and My family through this. I know YOU are PRAYING. I weep with joy! I know that there is a great and awesome thing awaiting the end of this battle! And I PRESS on. I pray for The Heavens to open and pour out a blessing on each of you that you may not even contain it all. For the joy of the lORD is (MY) strength! GOD bless you this weekend with peace, joy, and sweet fellowship with the MAsTER! My middle daughter ( the spiritual rape ) is hanging in there and doing as Jacob and wrestling with the Lord. She is not letting satan defeat her and is STANDING in the presence of the lord and serving him. WE have not heard anything more on the case... been a couple weeks. we understand he has done this before and they are being careful that he not get off this time with just a slap on the hand and his name on a registery. Please continue to pray about this. Psalm 71:13-16 is given to me today in this matter! I love the "BUT" I will hope continually and yet will praise the more and MORE!
