Satan is waging an attack ........
And we need your prayers please!!! I know that it's because we've gotten back in church and are trying to get our lives back the way their supposed to be. I refuse to let Satan play my family! I REFUSE!!! I have struggled with deciding how much to post, what to post, what to ask, how to ask. Soooo, I'm just going to put it all out there. Please pray specifically for each of us.
Alan has been dealing with some major blood pressure issues and anxiety, his mother's cancer has really been hard to accept and learn to deal with all she'll be going through, his issues at work and taking care of me while I've been down has put alot on his shoulders.
I am still recovering from back surgery and with all that is going on, I feel like I'm not doing as well as I should be. My SVT(heart rhythym issue) is beginning to flare up and I am having attacks regularly again. We are SERIOUSLY short staffed at work and the stress of a new school year is really wearing me down.
Luke is 3 1/2 and that should be self-explanatory. Boy, this kid is gonna drive me to drinking!!!
Aaron might not see 14 at this rate. How do I get him to stop being to lazy and apathetic? How do I get him to understand that it's imperative that he do his work AND turn it in? How do I get him to accept responsibilty for himself and his actions? How do I get in through his head? I have begged, threatened, grounded, yelled, screamed, asked nicely, etc....to no avail!!! He just doesn't get it!!!
Then there is the adoption that JUST! WON'T! END!!!!! If you have been following our blog long enough, you should be aware of the almost 2 year struggle we've endured to bring our sweet girl home. Now we are waiting for her birth certificate and there's NO definite timeline for when we should get it. We just want this craziness to end and we want our daughter home.
Satan is attacking us HEAVILY here again!!! We need and appreciate your prayers. My faith is not going to be attacked again. I will NOT allow it!!!

Oh, I am so with you!!! I will be praying for the attacks....we are feeling them too. And RENAP is about to do me in!!!!! I am so tired of this. Our kiddos need to come home. PLEASE LORD!!!!!
Oh!!! Satan is not a fan of adoption, as we all know---and you are staying tough and strong!!! I am praying that you will be covered in God's armour---ALL of you.
(((HUGS)))
Saying a special prayer right now.......
I am so glad you posted this. I will start praying for you and your awesome family right away. I can relate to some of the attacks. They are strong, but the Lord's power is stronger. I love the verse from 2 Corinthians 12:9... God's power is made perfect in our weekness (paraphrased).
yes, I will pray for each of you specifically. If satan is sniffing around then it means God is at work in you and your family. Stay strong, keep your faith, God already knows the outcome of all of this and He is victorious.

Not sure if I have ever posted, but I have been following along for a while now. Your older son is a normal teenager...My oldest son just turned 15. The doctor told me no matter what he was doing at home...he is just a typical teenager. It is so frustrating sometimes I sit and cry and think where did I go wrong!
My new moto is...If God brings you to it, he will bring you thru it!
I have a 12 year old daughter who I am just waiting for her head to spin completely around also...
I just do not understand why the kiddos do the things they do when they see you are under sooooooo much stress. Please don't feel that your son is the only one!
I have never adopted, so I have no advise there. I will keep your family in my prayers.
Hugs,
Cherrie
I am feeling the same way about my preteen that you are feeling. But I wanted to suggest a book that I just started reading, and so far, am very pleased. It's called "Have a New Kid by Friday" and it's by Dr. Kevin Lehman. It addresses everything you listed in your post. I am going to implement it as soon as I finish the book. I had heard him talk about his book on a Focus on the Family broadcast and I ordered it that day. Now if I can only find the time to finish it.
