(((((((((((Nora)))))))))) The girl here at work thinks I'm a bit "psycho", too. But if being a follower of Christ makes me a "psycho" then I'm proud of it.
Yeah and the advice of do it all in love is great... just understand that you may present it in love but that is not the way some people will take it no matter what the situation... I got someone in another thread who is totally misunderstanding me too at the moment! LOL... OH WELL the psycho for JESUS is off to get ready for the district women’s conference! LOL! 
Love y’all talk at ya later!

Y'all I guess I spoke too soon... my daughter is once again in full blown rebellion and I am trying to decide what to do with a child / almost women who refuses to try and work with me and my husband...
Please pray that I do the right thing and stand firm where I need too!
I am so tired of the fighting!

Nora it has been a long time since I have seen you or posted here. I fear that by the time Sarah is your daughter's age she'll be the same way or worse. I see her doing things that I just want to shake her for. Her little 10 year old body isn't looking too much like a 10 year old lately and that frustrates me and she is picking up a lot of the attitudes the kids in this area or in her school have and it is hard. However she does still have a since of right and wrong in her and usually makes the right judgement and choices, it is just when she doesn't get her way or decides she is going to see how far she can push her limits. She is doing a lot of things I didn't do until I was older as far as running her mouth and pushing her limits and the whole developing thing. It makes me worry for her when she is older.
But in your case it sounds like you are doing the right thing and it is so great that you have a husband who will back you and lead you in a godly way. That is so awesome! Praise the LORD!!!!
Have a great day!

Thank You DeeDee
Yes, my Bobby is such a blessing and I pray for Robert to soon come along side you soon in the same way! The good news for Sarah is that you have been setting a Godly example in front of her way longer than I have my daughter...even with the ups and downs...Sarah still see mom come back to GOD and that my dear will go a long way. With my dd, I have not been a good example til recently and although Bobby and I both give it our all... we know if she does not pick the right path, she will have a tough way to go for a while. I know in my heart that GOD is in fact calling out to her and part of what is going on right now is a battle for her and I just pray that GOD gives me the patient to fight the good fight for my baby!
Have I told you lately how proud I am of you DeeDee? I do keep up with your thread but I don’t post much more lurking than anything...I am glad you are feeling better and I hope you enjoy summer vacation!
Nora

(((((((((((((((Nora))))))))))) I know what you're talking about, about our past mistakes. Sometimes my eldest has a problem letting it go also. I've done all I can to make her understand and to show her I'm moving forward. But she still sometimes throws things in my face.

Thanks Nora!!
I know when I was growing up I did not live in an environment where I had any godly influence except when I was around my aunt who tried to do a lot of things with me. Then when I was between 16-18 or 19 she really tried to get ahold of me because she saw where I was going and it wasn't in the right direction for sure! She even took me into her home even though she had a young family of her own at the time. She didn't have too many difficult rules, but I was required to attend church and conduct my self in a way that her and her husband felt was correct especially since I would be an influence to her very young daughters. At the time I didn't appreciate it but as I grew through all that and especially after I started a family of my own I am greatly appreciative for the guidance she gave me and direction she tried to keep me pointed in, even though I rebelled the whole way. So even though it was late in my life when I began to see how a family should be and how to live a godly life it still stuck with me even until today. I did depart from the Lord and all of the instruction my aunt and uncle tried to instill in me but I have returned to it and do my best to not depart anymore.
So my point to all of this is that there is hope for your daughter (as I know there is for my daughter, it will just be difficult to go through) and I will continue to pray for her. Have a great blessed day!!

LOL @ Sarah! It is easy to stay on here for a while in the morning... the quiet and all the time to roam!

(((((((((((Nora)))))))))) My eldest, she's 24, doesn't have a problem with how I am now, except maybe a little jealousy that I'm raising the younger two better than I raised her. Her problem is she blames everything on my mistakes raising her. "I wouln't be like this if you had/hadn't done......." Things like that. I've also told her I was done apologizing, it's in the past. She's a grown-up now and she can't use my mistakes as excuses for the rest of her life. She's old enough to know better now and move on.
Hi, DeeDee!!!!!!!!!!

Well let’s see...
DD is doing better and she is trying to work with us more... THANK YOU GOD!
I am really struggling right now about not being able to find a job... staying home was fun for a while but after 8 mths of living on one income, a teenager to support and remodeling the house... well you do the math... I need to go back to work and I can't even get an interview! It is driving me nuts! I know that I know there is a reason… a plan... etc....
BUT some days there is also panic on my part... we are struggling financially and I need to go back to work and I need to go back ASAP!
Please pray that I have patience through this process and that I get a job soon
Nora

Thank You  , it was tough but I have had nothing but positive feedback on it from church members, which is way cool! 
I am going to post here what I posted there (360) today... I just feel the need to share…
Last week was tough and this week still is to a point… But yesterday in the mist of feeling totally sorry for myself I finally read my daily devotional:
He Himself has said… So we may boldly say… Heb 13:5-6
“My assurance is to be built upon God’s assurance to me. God says, “I will never leave you,” so that I “may boldly say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear’” (Heb 13:5-6). In other words, I will not be obsessed with apprehension. This does not mean that I will not be tempted to fear, but I will remember God’s words of assurance….” ( Oswald Chambers, My utmost for HIS Highest, June 5th)
I have some stuff going on right now that is really scaring me… cause I have little or no control over the current problems. It will take a serious move of GOD to fix a few things…and I know HE will but I have yet to see HIS hand move… so I revert to old ways of worry and fear… I want to jump and fix what is not mine to fix, yet truly, I could not any way… I am so unsure of my path at the moment… yet I know that I know… and I know that HE has me on the right path… yet old fear of failure of not being good enough haunts me… I have ghost that rattle their chains at me and I worry if GOD’s really knows what HE is getting when it comes to me… Yeah I know HE knows everything… See the stupid thoughts here…. I fear for no reason other than I cannot see the forest for the trees at the moment… I do not understand how I am going to do and be whom HE asks and still help my husband provide for this family… I cannot live in the clouds and have no income… yet every door to a job has been firmly closed in my face. Yet I have been asked to share my story at church and I am now the co-teacher for the high school Sunday School class, and I am involved in other activities at church yet I feel like I need to be helping my husband and daughter and right now am I feel like a total failure in both areas… I feel more like a burden to my husband than a helpmate, I feel like I take and take and never give back… I am struggling with being dependent. My daughter and I are struggling to find the neutral ground between almost grown and still a child under this roof... no easy task let me tell you! LOL, my darling Bobby gave me the what for yesterday when I finally voiced all this aloud… I think I got my first scolding from my husband yesterday but I am not sure as he never raises his voice to me, nor has he ever said the first harsh word to me… EVER! If he has ever been mad I at me… I can’t prove it as I have never seen or heard it… I am just struggling right now…yet my darling husband holds fast to me and says, “panic is not allowed!” LOL… God sure knew the man I needed to hold me to the ground and thankfully, he gave me to him! I need to be focusing on my classes and I feel so distracted by everything else… I do good for a minute then life jumps up in my face and scares me to death…
Okay LORD, I will keep Your word hidden in my heart and maybe I will stop allowing the enemy a foothold into my life… “My Lord is my helper; I will not fear”. I will hold the words of my beloved husband in my heart also... "you gave me the only thing I require on this earth, your heart!" Really why do I fear anything... I got you my LORD and the man you gave to love me... why do I allow fear to creep into my heart.
Okay that was mouths full... Thank goodness I saved it to word first
Nora

Yes I am Maggie... I am so very blessed and why HE does not just smack me hard when I have these moments of doubt I will never know!
My Bobby is a blessing that I can never say thank you enough for... HE truly is a husband who totally gets what the Bible says a husband is supposed to be... I pray that I am the wife I should be... it does it say, “who much is given much is expected“, so I think HE expects me to live up to the gift given me!

I have had a WOW day ALL DAY and church was no different... at the ladies monthly meeting the devotional was "what’s love got to do with it" (I live around the corner from Tina Turners hometown of Nutbush, TN hence the title of the devotion ) and needless to say it was about how much GOD loves us....
I posted the following on my 360 blog earlier today and I decided to share it here....
I heard the most amazing definition for the word "still" in a verse that is near and dear to my heart today…
Ps 46:10 “Be still and know that I AM GOD…”
To "be still" is to stop striving, dropping your hands, stopping your efforts and allowing HIM to show you who HE really is and what he has to offer… (information from Caring for People God's Way... BICO 206, Dr. Sandra Wilson)
This is the verse I was reading when I accepted Christ as my LORD and Savior in 1996... I messed up the first 8 ½ years as a Christian cause I continued to “strive” and try and do it in my effort and I always failed… things have changed in the last 18 mths but I realized today that I am still striving to be good enough in my own efforts… Duh! Guess what my efforts will ALWAYS fall short and in my head, I knew that… but guess what? in allowing HIM to be GOD and ceasing to strive, I am free for the first time to enjoy the LOVE HE gives without penalty…
FREE GRACE… NOT CHEAP GRACE… BUT FREE GIFT…
I so don’t have to be afraid , I so don’t have to prove myself, I so don’t have to do anything other than let HIM love me… completely and fully with no fear HE will reject me! WOW! Moreover, the pleasure that comes with the thought of obeying is past anything I can explain and of course with obedience comes blessings and LORD THANK YOU FOR BEING THE PATIENT AND LOVING FATHER I SO DESPERATELY NEED!
WOW I am past knowing what to say about how I feel right now… almost 7 hours later and I am still speechless... WHAT A DAY!

... The good news is even though they may have a hard time letting us be who we are now… we know that HE has forgotten all and we just need to hold on to HIS WORD about who we are now and move forward based on that and not based on what others think of us... even when those "others" are our kids... I told my dd I have apologized for the last time and I mean it, I love her with all my heart but I am done being "punished" for my past mistakes. She is better today and I pray that we were able to talk some sense into that hard head... I just don't know where she gets that from,
