My Family </3

[Elizabeth Till]

I have gone ### days without cutting. I feel free of that "crutch." But as soon as I feel closure, I find out that my mom wants to divorce my dad. My dad has changed into a completely different person. I feel as if I don't know him anymore. But I never wanted my parents to split up. My band director, who is going through a terrible divorce, is trying to work with my mom, to change her mind about the divorce. He wants to talk with my dad. My mom needs to talk with my dad. I'm scared for my mom. She took ### sleeping meds today. She's only supposed to have 1. I did not go anywhere for fireworks tonight, because I had to make sure she was okay. I'm so scared for the whole situation. I leave in August for college, and I'm the only child that knows my mom wants a divorce. I'm the only one she can talk to in our family. I feel as if I'm the only responsible person in my family anymore, through both of my parent's fits. I'm just growing tired. Scared. I never thought I'd ever be asking for prayers for this. I love my family. I ask for prayers for them.

Lord Jesus! Thank you for ###. We come to your cross today for we Love you. Lord Jesus you know ###'s heart. Comfort Her throughout her walk with You. Lord Jesus you tell us that you will never leave us nor forsake us. Guide ### in your mighty power. Pour your healing balm over her family and guide them with your grace. Through rough spots Lord let us remember how it perfects us to whom we are today, tomorrow and forever.

HARDSHIP- Dr. ###, finding a flower under the ### glacier, was more affected by it because it grew beneath the lip and cold bosom of the ice, than he would have been by the most gorgeous garden bloom. So some single struggling grace in the heart of one far removed from Divine influences may be dearer to God than a whole catalog of virtues in the life of one more favored of Heaven. As in nature, as in art, so in grace; it is rough treatment that gives souls, as well as stones, their lustre. The more the diamond is cut the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
