I just can't seem to get back into it. Feel like I've lost my blogging voice. Oh well. Probably if I took the time and just made myself do it regularly it would come back. My heart and prayers are with you and Curt as you support & love Jasmine while she works through what is on her plate. I have family members facing a similar situation and I know it is hard work!Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-28571612390310633352016-06-16T16:42:21.603-05:002016-06-16T16:42:21.603-05:00Just love all the photos you always share.....I es...Just love all the photos you always share.....I especially love the old truck, is that close by? <br /><br />Prayers for you and your daughter, such struggles in this world.....I hope as well your brother has by now received good news on a job.......<br /><br />When a door closes a window opens.....<br />Blessings<br />RhondaSimply Quainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522235971037364314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-85399858742658341082016-06-15T18:38:22.406-05:002016-06-15T18:38:22.406-05:00PS: loved the prayer beads - so pretty. xoxoPS: loved the prayer beads - so pretty. xoxocarrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-74483568765776825312016-06-15T18:37:49.173-05:002016-06-15T18:37:49.173-05:00So lovely to read your post Sandra!

I hope that therapy helps heal all that's hurting in her heart. I know that once I had a friend who's child was having troubles and seeking help as well. One of the things her daughter started doing was volunteering with older adults and those less fortunate. It gave her a sense of purpose and something outside of focusing on herself I guess. Plus, helped her to see how truly blessed she really was - just wanted to share that as it came to my mind.<br /><br /><br />Texas looks so beautiful and I'm so happy you're loving it and feeling like it's where you belong. I love looking at your beautiful pics and seeing what you're making, baking, gardening etc. ;)<br /><br />Hope you get your dryer fixed soon poor Dear!! That's a whole lot of ironing!! Lol<br /><br />Blessings to you xoxo<br />carrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-53106151518882576432016-06-15T16:55:59.897-05:002016-06-15T16:55:59.897-05:00I always love your posts, Sandra...

She was disrespectful and really was quite mean to us as parents. She wanted to go to a questionable college just because she knew we didn't think it was the best for her. All of this started and got worse because "the boyfriend" entered her life. He was so influential in her life that he undid in a couple of months everything we taught her in a lifetime. Morals, a Christian life, respect and the list goes on. We had discussions with her about the life she would live if she continued the relationship with "the boyfriend". He was very controlling and she is a butterfly. We saw it but she had her blinders on. We gave it up to God. One evening she had an incident in the shower, a vision perhaps, and I truly think God was talking to her. The result was a request for a conversation with us (the parents) shortly after the shower ended. She told us that she was directed to break up with boyfriend, chose a different college and make changes in her life. Thankfully, she never "crossed the line" with the boyfriend and is now beginning her third year at a Christian College complete with all new friends. This young lady is following what God has directed for her life, she is very respectful to us and a very modest gal. She has had one other boyfriend, a nice young man, but they parted ways as they were so very different. <br /><br />Jasmine will be fine. She has loving parents to help her and I pray for you. It might be the age as these young people have a lot of things to do in order to grow up. <br /><br />AliceAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660543650879805736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-37817112622379070062016-06-14T22:25:14.333-05:002016-06-14T22:25:14.333-05:00What a lovely visit with you dear friend.
