Prayer Request...

[Lhiata]

I know I'm not the most religious person, but I do have faith in God, and I'm having a really trying time right now.

This week, I moved out my mother's house. There was a problem with her fiancee, ect, and it ended in such a way that legally, the police couldn't make him leave, so I've had to stay here at my grandparents, which I don't mind at all, but my mother is putting up a fight against me being here.

My grandparents are christian, and it's so peaceful and nice being here, as compared to the volatile environment at home...

I just need the strength to do what I have to do to protect myself, keep myself safe, (e.i. here at my grandparents), and well, sane.

I've had to look into legal emancipation, but it's a tricky thing in NY.

I could just really use some insight right now, that's all... some sign of what I'm doing is actually within reach, I feel like my faith is being tested, and I'm trying to stay calm and rational about all of this...

Thanks... *Hugs*

Yeah here in NY things are harder to get . Just keep fighting for it, all I can say, and good luck with it really! I wuv you lhee!

Lhiata, you are right. Your faith is being tested. Think of it this way. When Job was tested with the many troubles and trials, God had told Satan that Job would overcome. God allowed something to happen to Job because he had faith in him. So perhaps God has faith in you and feels that you can get through this and soar. The Bible says that we who put our faith in God shall mount up as wings on eagles. We shall run and not be weary, walk and not faint. It's in times like these that when our faith [and everything else] is tested, we will rise to meet the occassion. Put your faith in God, Lhiata. It's one thing to believe in him but another to believe that he will help you. With your faith in God, you can and will fly as the eagles do.

I do hope that everything goes as things should. I'll keep you in my prayers Lhiata. Remember, place your faith in God and everything will see through.

Thank you, Ash, Michael. *hands out tasty cookies for caring*
I'm just trying keep my sense of humor in this mess, and was actually looking up Minor Emancipation until about two-thirty in the morning, it's nice to see human conversation and not just legal cases that are half in latin terminology. The way I see it right now, is that God helps those who helps themselves, so I'm exploring all options I can, so I'm prepared as much as possible for whatever's in store for me. I'm meeting my mother in about an hour or so to talk about things, and I need to not be homesick and cry, lol.

Good thing is, though, she can't stay for too long and try to convince me, I have work tonight.

After work, though, my grandfather wants to talk to me about something, so by tonight around 10-ish, I'm guessing, I should know a lot more about what's going on...

Again, "thank you's" and cookies apply...

[Michael]

I'm glad that things are going better than before and it is always good to keep your humor because without it, things seem a little more pessimistic.

Hm, I don't know about the whole "God helps those who help themselves" but I do think he honors those who try to get out of the mess they are in instead of being a sitting duck waiting for whatever to happen. So I'm glad you are looking into the Minor Emancipation deals.

I hope things go well with your mother and grandfather. You're still in my prayers!
