[Faith-talk] Prayers for my family

[Ericka]

I know Tammie and I have given situation to God. I have good friends at several different churches two that are praying as well. I know I can’t fix the situation; only my cousin can make the right decisions in the end. I worry most about my aunt because he’s living with her aunt has been abusive physically and verbally. She’s my godmother and has been there for me. No I feel responsible for being there for her. I know God will take care of her and I know that my parents and sisters won’t let her be in a situation that isn’t safe without support.

Everyone, thank you for prayer! I’m going to focus on my training because that’s where God wants me.

> Those new to the list wouldn’t know, but my family back home in Wisconsin is dealing with a lot of craziness. I have a cousin who is dealing with ADHD and mental health issues through alcohol. Things aren’t going any better and the psychiatrist that he does see my cousin isn’t listening to either. Now my cousin has a court date and is ignoring some parts of the terms before he goes to court for battery and DWI. I pray for my aunt safety. My cousin is living with her and all the stress of his abuse – most the time verbal Dash is not good for her lupus. My aunt is not his mother. His dad has passed away and his mother is in a nursing home. I don’t buy my cousins manipulation because I used to be married to someone with OCD & other issues. I probably said more than i ought but keep my family, my aunt, and others affected in prayer. My fervent prayer is that my cousin realize that he is the only one who can make choices and change his life. He’s trying to blame everyone else for what happens. This guy is almost 40 so he needs to grow up and learn how to handle Life better. I could have been made on my life about a lot of things to including having a disability but I’ve always done something about it and not blamed people.
