Ladies I am so drained , feel good at home but just pooped . I'm also upset as my sil told me these young homeschool mumjs have been gossiping about me and it is about me warning others about child predators etc. I had to warn someone a few yrs back to be careful of another family as they had been connected to a bad commune etc. well of course as in most cases the person chose not to beleive but continues to put her kids at risk , honestly denial is one of the worst forms of abuse . Of course that was her choice to ignore and then shun me but she has now been gossiping ! and it hurts I know I have all the prrof in the world qualified people I work with etc. to back me up etc. all the supportive friends in the world right here like my sil etc. but it still hurts and it is a big drain this work to prevent & protect . I am taking summer off of computer and homeschool group things but could really use some spiritual prayer for calm , peace , silence right now .
Truely this is what I value most is the prayers of others . It is always the first step
Thanks so very much , Rox

Roxie, I am praying for your peace of mind and your spiritual and emotional healing. I know you have the best of intentions; it can be very painful to be the target of gossip, particularly when you have not done anything to deserve it. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

May God grant you the peace and tranquility you seek, and may the Holy Spirit grant you the gifts of fortitude and understanding in full measure, so that you can turn toward the Father and follow His plan for you.

Dear Rox, God's Truth and Grace will always prevail! I experienced a similar trial with a homeschooling family that we had been very close to...I found the greatest peace in simply praying for them and trusting that the Lord can, and will, take care of all things, especially when we are not able to...He is far greater and mightier than we can ever be. Place these cares in His Sacred Hands and be at peace. Many times we do not even have to utter a single word, but simply allow prayer and the Grace of God to act in our stead. I will keep you and this intention in prayer.

Oh, Rox! It's times like this that the sanctuary of our domestic church is so comforting and safe and consoling, isn't it!

I'm praying for you, your peace, and that you may guard your joy!

Thank You so much Ladies . that day I prayed , made some lavender tea and calm returned . I was led again to remember it is not important I am beleived but rather that I do believe Him always .
I've been revisting with my long time true friends and reminded how strong we all are in Him spent the whole of the long weekend in our garden which of course leads to much peace & joy .
How easily we can be distracted & forgetful of what has been given Thank You All so much , Rox
