I've long since past denial over Trent's disease, but I've been avoiding for a long time. I've avoided having the gut wrenching talk with the psychiatrist about finding a place for Trent. You've heard me moan about feeling entrapped, feeling exhausted, and feeling stress. I've had a hard time with the fact that I'm unable to give Mom and Trent the care each of them deserve. Mom is able to dress and cook something in the microwave and even take her own pills. Trent is not able to do any of that. Mom can answer questions, take part in a conversation. Mom can't remember what day it is but she knows to look at the calendar even though she still can't figure it out.
Tomorrow we see the psychiatrist and it is time to have the dreaded conversation. I don't honestly know what I want to hear.
Our Heavenly Father, we ask You to lay Your healing hand on those who are troubled or sick, that they may be healed and find new health and strength. We Pray for the comfort of the bereaved and for peace of mind to those who are disturbed or restless.
Put Your quieting touch upon our distressed minds that we may become calm. We do not ask to escape the demands of a difficult times, but to be better able to deal with them. Come into our minds and hearts and give us new insights, new understanding and a new view to overcome problems. This we ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
Brett and Kristy are still looking for a place to live and work next year. Today, the Canyon Head Football job came open as well as 2 additional high school coaching positions. This would be answer to my prayer for them to be closer. This would be alot closer. I hope you will pray for this for them. Brett is frustrated and worried as well as Kristy.

I pray your prayer for you. I hope you have that inner peace that you need. I will pray for Brent that the coaching jobs will open for him and his answer to prayer. I know this would bring you such joy and comfort.
Love ya!!
That is a beautiful prayer, and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I appreciate that you check in on us. We can never have enough prayers. That prayer is one that I have kept since 2004. I just have the one page. I keep it in my studio and pray it often. It just seemed like the time to share with my blogging family.
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom, courage, strength, peace for my dear friend Donna. I pray that you wrap her in your arms and in the arms of many friends to hold her and comfort her. Lord, you have been with her through her life and in the last years, hold her tight during this time of more decisions. I pray her prayer as well. In Jesus' name - Amen
Love ya, dear friend. It indeed sounds like it is time for the tough decisions and again, I pray for your peace. May you feel Garrett's and Brett's love and support for you, as I know they love their Mom and Dad. I hold up Garrett and Brett and family as well - this is a tough time for them, too.
