Prayers All Around...

My post is an unusual one, I think. I would merely like to ask that you keep some very dear and special people to me in your thoughts and prayers. They each have their own battles and own hurts. Knowing they are in pain hurts me tremendously.

First, my DB who is going through a really rough time right now. I don't think he realizes how when an door closes a window opens. I don't think spiritually he knows where to *look*. He is in a lot of pain right now and I wish that I could make it go away. For now, he is shutting everyone out and dealing with it on his own. I pray for his safety and his sanity. As of now, I fear the destructive path he is on...

Second, a very dear friend of mine is going through a rough time. Turning to me in a time of crisis, for which I am very honored, I did my best to offer support and suggestions. I will praying with my friend tonight as I know they are needed. I am asking God to grant my friend the strength needed to handle whatever may happen. I love you, dear friend and want you to know that I am always here to lend a shoulder and an ear.

And lastly, I myself am in a bit of a quandry - stuck between two sides - two sets of people whom I love very dearly. I would never want to choose between one and the other. I know it isn't intentional on their parts but sometimes I feel as though they want me to make a choice. It isn't fair and it is very painful. Sometimes I don't think they realize how difficult it is for me. I cried my fair share of tears today. I have also prayed a lot and I am hoping that some guidance comes soon and that both sides of this issue can some to terms before it makes me go insane.

Thank you for any prayers and good thoughts you can offer. Life is a very funny, exciting and sometimes scary thing. Faith and Love are two of strongest forces I know .
