Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We're coming up on a month since this prayer request was first posted. In my experience, when I have faced difficulties that are complicated, it takes a good month of being lifted in prayer to bring peace and hope...so...that's a long winded way of saying, I'm praying for a miracle!

Love,

Ladies, I'm "coming out of the closet" to #1 thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers. I can't express what they mean to me. Well, everything. There I *can* express it. and #2 because I'm desperate. There's a song my dh is always quoting that goes "If I were twice the man I am I'd still be half of what you need." I feel like that is my life (replacing man with "woman" of course I'm just not cut out for this impossible job of homeschooling/mothering a bunch of high/special needs kids without support. I beg God daily for guidance and/or help and none is forthcoming. I feel like he's been silent in my life for years.

I want to change but I don't know how. I want and pray for "things" to change and they don't. I don't know what to do. I still need that miracle.

I don't expect an easy life, but "impossible" every day just seems like too much to ask of anybody. I just want my family to be happy.

Humbly and shamefacedly pressing the "post" button...

Dear Amy

Lots of hugs my friend. I am going to Pm you when I have time later tonight. All I can say is that I am reading Mother Teresa's Come be My light right now - and your post could almost have come from there in some ways.

While I'm sure it's not my "saintliness" (or lack-thereof!) that reminds you of me I too read that book last summer for a small book club I go to (really just a group of 4 friends) and hearing of her darkness has been one of the few things to give me hope lately! Thank you so much Marilyn for mentioning it.

Dear Amy! I'm so sorry that things continue to be so difficult for you. I will pray now, and during my night feeds.

Praying for you, Amy. I know you're bearing many crosses these days. God hasn't abandoned you...He is there...I will continue to pray for you and your family.

{{{hugs}}} dear sister!

Amy,

I will continue to pray, I don't have special needs children but I know how it feels to feel way out of your league. (at least that is how I feel ).

I'm sure you've heard the quote: Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. St. Francis of Assisi

God bless you.

Oh, Amy. I SO could have written similar words as in this post. My heart is entirely with you. Things reached such a challenging level for me personally, as well, that I have found many things I used to take for granted just enigmatically difficult. Well....as you perhaps can see by the way I rarely visit this Forum anymore!   

So many prayers and well-wishes from one mom to another. We *must* stick together and hold one another up! Love and hugs,
