Our family has been thrown into a very big, upsetting upheaval that is changing the whole dynamics of our family.

Please, offer a prayer for all of us.

4/30 Update: The worst of the secular world has entered into our home in a most upsetting way...hurting my children and damaging our family's closeness.
I am at a loss on how to help right now...and dh is working 3 jobs to try and make ends meet and he seems to be drifting from the family under the great stress.

My grown children are doing what they can to help me, but I find myself very lonely and lost. I have no one close to share with. And no close, "safe" friends for my 4 younger children. It's amazing how fast things can begin to crumble around us. I need to find a way to help our family, but I just don't know how.

I am so thankful for your prayers, and continue to beg for them.

I'm so sorry, Joann! I hope that God will bless all involved with clarity, good will, and personal responsibility, sacrificial love, and the right support to see you all through...

Love,
