Hi.

I'm doing better. I can't thank you guys enough.

I've been reading the Bible a lot lately. It really helps. Also, i told my best friend, and she was really a lot of help. I didn't expect the kind of reaction I got out of her. I thought she would freak out or something. Turns out, she has a lot of the same feelings as I do. So, we're able to relate to each other. Thanks for all your prayers.

I still have one question, and sorry if i asked this already. i can't remember.

I wish I could tell you guys easier, but I'm not really sure how to say it, so here it goes.
My mom's really nice sometimes. I really love her. She's just like a lot of other moms. But, she gets mad SO easily. And even if it was a mistake and she's in a bad mood she always yells so much. She swears a lot. I don't mean to sound stupid, but she makes me feel really bad about everything. It hurts a lot when I hear my mom always yelling and I've begun to just shut off my emotions. I'm trying not too, but with everything going on, it just seems easier. What can I do? I'm so confused and I just want her to stop. But she'll just get mad at me....then what do I do?



There was a crash outside my school today. One of my really good friend's sister was involved. Pray 4 her, please.


Thanks, everyone again. I'm going on vacation for a while so I won't be able to update until april. Bye.

Father please help this girl who was hurt in the crash outside school. She needs Your healing touch and so does anyone else who was hurt. Please take away the fear too and comfort them and their families. Please let this be something that will help a lot of people that life is fragile and they need Your help and need to be sure they have made preparation for heaven by asking Jesus to be their own Savior and giving their heart and life to Him. Thank You for watching over that girl and also for helping the person who postes here.

Hello again
I'm glad you are feeling some better about things. Keep as focused on Jesus as you can and that will help you get through. That is really the answer about your mother too. She is obviosly having some problems and a hard time dealing with life right now. The very best thing you can do for her and about her is to pray for her and ask the Holy Spirit to draw her to Jesus as her Savior and as the source of the peace and grace she needs. If you know some of the things that are putting her under stress you should pray about those too. Ask the Lord to show you specific things you can do that will make her life easier. For example some people really stress out when they forst come home from work and have to deal with the chores and getting dinner while all the pressure of the day is still on their mind. If something like that happens with your mom see what you can do to have some chores done before she gets home or to keep younger kids if there are any busy and out of her hair for a little while. Give her a little space. Ask the Lord to give you wisdom when and how to talk with her about things you need to and when not to.

The main thing is to see that this is a problem that she has. It is not your fault. There may be things you can do to make it better and things you can avoid so as not to make it worse but she is the one who really has to handle it. And her problem does not have to control the way you feel. That is a hard one but you belong to Jesus because you chose to belong to Him. His opinion of you is that He loves you very much, so much that He was willing to die for you. It is not pleasant to be around someone who is always upset. Nothing is going to make that pleasant. But you can do things that make it less unpleasant by helping to lessen her strain if you can and by realizing that she and not you are the center of the problem. Show her respect and do all you can to avoid yelling back or taking a sulled up attitude with her. You don't want to turn off emotionally from everything but turning of a bit or at least changing the channel in your mind may be exactly what you need to do. I don't know how old your mom is but if she is 40+ she may also be going through a time when there are biological changes in her body that can affect her moods. Some women do that others don't so much. She may mot mean to be this way. Show her all the love you can and pray for her. Please post back when you get back and let us know how you are doing and how praying for her is helping. We will be praying for her and for you too.
