Okay, here's my story:
I've never really prayed to St. Theresa for the longest time because I was afraid I'd be "doing it for the roses."  However, when a certain issue came up, I felt I should ask for her help, and I prayed continuously with regards to the issue for some time. No definitive answer.
I kind of put it aside (forgot about it )and started praying for her intersession again. Knowing that Mother's day was coming up, and I usually get a rose bush from my kids, I asked her again for a more concrete answer. I asked for white roses is my prayer was being answered, and red if it hadn't.
As I look back, I think I was showered with roses. My husband gave me a dozen pinkish roses the Saturday before MD, and from my children, I recieved one red, one white, and one white and red mixed rose bush.
Is this a "don't stop praying, and yes there is hope", or is it just further proof that God has a sense of humor??

LOL! Don't you wish it were as easy as reading traffic light? Red for stop, green for go?
I vote for the "don't stop praying" answer. And there is always hope!

I think you should keep praying and trusting. Although, in my experience, I think God sits up in heaven covering his mouth while going "Hee-hee-hee!" a lot where my life is concerned Mostly followed by, "So you thought you knew what you were doing, huh?" I'll pray for your intention as well!
Blessings,
Betsie
