We Were Robbed!!!!!

<< < (3/3)

SandyFla:
Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement. It means so much to have people who understand and who don't tell me that I should "just forgiven him," as it's not that easy. The robbery would be easy to forgive; the fact that he desecrated my mother and Bethy's urn is not.

Every time I think about it, I curse the man with every foul word I can think of. Of course, I don't say it out loud around my parents out of respect for them. I've never been one to swear, but the things that have come out of my mouth lately would cause sailors to blush. And the rage ... the other night I had to keep blinking because everything kept going white. I don't know if that was just from my anger, or the natural occurrence in the eye when you stare at something for a long time, or the fact that I hadn't sleep in over 48 hours. Perhaps it was a combination of all three. I have calmed down a bit now, as the last thing I need is a stroke.

Love to all,
Sandy

Sandy, my dear Sis!!!  I just today came upon your post!!!  How devastating to go thru that!!

 When just my apartment was robbed before I was married I was afraid and mad and felt violated.  But that incident was one of the ways God led me to Himself. But those feelings didn't leave for awhile.

Remember how happy you were that God found you this job?? It can't be a coincidence that you got that shift.  You were NOT supposed to be there. That this creep was there was God's Will;  and That he didn't rape/kill your mom was also Gods Will.

Don't be hard on yourself for the way you feel.  Anyone would feel that.  But God made you and knows you and sees the end from the beginning, so He knows eventually in HIS time you will sort it all out.

Praise God for your mom and dad.  She is plucky for sure!!  The fact that she actually experienced it is probably WHY she can forgive.  Don't feel guilty about not being there or not able to forgive.  Don't ever feel guilty!  If you are mad at God about all this, don't even feel guilty about that!!!  We are who we are and over the years I have read your posts and know your deep love of God, your parents and Bethany!  We all love you here!

You are in our hearts and minds.  Keep in touch!!
