Re: Keesha's Junk
That might be an appropriate title for all of this,"junk". It's just too bad that there is a rope tied around it all and you have to haul it every where you go.
May God take some pieces of junk off the pile and lighten the load for you.
Peace,
David

Re: Keesha's Junk
Oh Keesha, to see that all in writing just takes my breath away. You have certainly had so much to deal with and at the same time you help so many with what they are going through.
I will pray, pray and pray for you. You are such a caring friend, mother and wife so I know that God is working in your life.
Try to take it easy and I will be thinking of you...Sue

Re: Keesha's Junk
Keesha,
Your list is not who you are, you prove it each and every time you put yourself out there to help someone else. We never know why God gives us the trials that he does, only he knows. But I am sure that the gift he gave you of always knowing what to say to help someone feel better or to give them the courage to go on is strengthen by your experiences.
You are my hero - to always be so positive when others need it in light of all of your own trials - I am blessed to have been touched by your heart and in knowing that someone like you is always there to give me strength. Thank you for sharing and I too will pray for God to lighten the load that he has placed on your plate.
God bless - Love Chris

May God give you strength and perseverence to go forward in each day having the faith of Job, knowing that you are running a race for God and He has big plans for you. Thank you for sharing and being a part of this group. I enjoy your posts and hearing your insights.

PS-I have not taken time to read any medical profiles. so I thought today I would focus on that and get to know all of you better.
