indianabob:
Let Go! and let God have full control of all around you.
Be at peace with those who spitefully use you. Give up your defense of your beliefs. God knows your heart
Be a living example for your daughter who loves God, loves you and listens to you.
NO ONE else matters at this point in time. She should be your full focus, not any others.
She will be able to leave home in less than two years where others will influence her.
Time is short. Be the best example you can be. That is what she will take with her... 8)

I agree Bob! :) My motto for the year is "let go and let God" For some reason though God wanted me to have these conversations this past week with my mom and bro, who I'm sure was also reading the messages. For me it's actually healing and peaceful to be able to speak freely to her. I used to break down crying in fear. Not any longer!
As a child you can't speak to an adult that you physically, emotionally and spiritually fear. It's good to get some of this stuff out in the open without that fear. So really wasn't about them at all... but was about me healing.
Daughter (and son) are having a lovely day together in peace (hope you are as well!). Just finished playing some new games and now she's making her amazing homemade mac n cheese for our ham dinner. Started off the morning with my totally from scratch banana cream pie in a whole wheat brown rice crust topped with sweetened fresh whipping cream. :D nam nam nam. Not one gift to give or open and we didn't put the tree up but we have all that we need and are blessed to have each other.
Few minutes ago she said, "Mom! You know... I really love you!" :) Who needs anything else but that, Yeshua and banana cream pie? :D
We have been through so much but God has taught us amazing things about Himself, ourselves and others through it all. I don't think she wants to leave home. lol She wants me to live with her family and help with grandkids God willing. She said last week, "I think God put you in my life because it's going to be really weird teaching my kids the truth in this society! You teach them!"

Your mother and my mother should get together and go bowling. I too endured decades of verbal abuse, but God never revealed to me how to deal with it, aside from ignoring her as much as possible. Even the rest of my family never knew how to handle her. (She died 6 years ago, for which I was very grateful). Oh well. My life lately is a spiritual roller coaster. I have been dealing with a lot of anger in my thoughts, and I believe that it is God getting it all out in the open.
Anyway, nice to meet you. Your enthusiasm is wonderful, glory to God. Blessings...

That was the short short mini series version but glad you enjoyed it! :) It's truly amazing what Jesus can do with all of the big mess and still make someone shine whether they want to or not!
You made me giggle with the bf Jesus comment. Even though my daughter and I do have each other she is 16 and I'm 46 so she wishes someone her age would get this too.
It's definitely a wilderness though among so many people that don't understand and the accusations are even more amazing.
I'm glad you can see the fruit of the Spirit though in some of your family! I find after living religiously that so many know the lingo very well but really when they talk their words don't match up with the fruit. It's weird to hear their words come out of their mouths and hear the double talk.
I'm soooo happy to be out of darkness for the past 2 years and all of the bondage of controlling people and sin. It's exciting to get up every day to see what's next.
Knowing that Yeshua will NEVER fail and either has to take care of me or kill me is comforting! :)
Anyway,....hugs and I pray you also keep growing in the "knowledge of the truth."

Hi Loverly!
Thank you for the welcome. God especially loves those who he chooses out of darkness as you are experiencing! Sounds like you had a nice Chirstmas. I love being around friends and family cause most of the time its the loner lifestyle. Keep your "love of the truth," sister. Big hug to you.

Dean,
Sounds like they were twins separated at birth. Oh the horror stories to tell! lol I understand you being relived completely as her death. Unless, you have a parent like this you can't even imagine how someone could not relate to their own mother. It's ok to get angry at abuse and sin. Jesus got angry about it too! Message me and I have an amazing site for adult children that we still abused verbally by their birth parents that will help you a lot so see their tactics. Even though your mother is gone already still you would understand a lot more of what went on. You are right God does take you through a process of grieving as you heal. I went to a small class for abused women and it was like going to a funeral every Friday for 2 hours. We processed a lot of emotions that we were robbed of processing as small children trying to put our coping mechanisms into place the best way we knew how. So work through the "debriefing" as the Holy Spirit walks you through it. :) It's so worth it!
Thank you for the encouragement and nice to meet you as well! I'm happy to be set free of the dark years and excited to live every day His peace! :) When that anxiety lifts from the abusive past it's amazing! So hang in there and realize that you family wanted you stuck on anxiety and Jesus sets you free of that constant fear!
