Messianic Mamma says:
you should really pick it up Audrey
Messianic Mamma says:
Hey Audrey
MotherHubbard7 says:
Hi
Messianic Mamma says:
Whats going on?
MotherHubbard7 says:
I'm rather distraught at the moment
MotherHubbard7 says:
for more than one reason
Messianic Mamma says:
whats going on Audrey?
MotherHubbard7 says:
I wish I had never found my brother
Messianic Mamma says:
whats going on?
MotherHubbard7 says:
all we have done is cause each other heartache
Messianic Mamma says:
what do you mean?
MotherHubbard7 says:
every time we visit, he does his best to preach to me about trusting God
MotherHubbard7 says:
I'm fine w. him believing what he wants, but I wish he didn't see such a need to change me.
MotherHubbard7 says:
I think I and the rest of my family are doing really good lately.
MotherHubbard7 says:
don't you?
Messianic Mamma says:
yes but you know what I feel about needing Yeshua
MotherHubbard7 says:
I know
MotherHubbard7 says:
I think I am going to have to cut ties w. him
MotherHubbard7 says:
I just got off the phone w. him
Messianic Mamma says:
I think thats Rash Audrey
MotherHubbard7 says:
well, I don't like the way he thinks about me and my family
MotherHubbard7 says:
and I can't seem to change his mind
Messianic Mamma says:
we've had arguments over faith before and you have not cut your ties with me
MotherHubbard7 says:
you should have heard what he was saying to me on the phone
Messianic Mamma says:
what was he saying?
MotherHubbard7 says:
that he wished he had never met me, my children were horrible, he didn't want us to visit anymore
Messianic Mamma says:
that doesnt sound like him maybe hes speaking out of hurt not out of his true feelings
MotherHubbard7 says:
well, whatever caused it, I'm hurt
MotherHubbard7 says:
and I don't want to get hurt anymore
Messianic Mamma says:
you cant go trying to run away from pain everytime you face it Audrey you and I both know that doesnt work
MotherHubbard7 says:
well, I can't seem to reason w. him
MotherHubbard7 says:
I have faced this, I really have, but I am banging my head against a brick wall
Messianic Mamma says:
you two were fine earleir, I was over there you were laughing and joking, so this must have happened after I left
MotherHubbard7 says:
yeah, it did
MotherHubbard7 says:
I'm afraid I will never be able to change his view of me and my family
Messianic Mamma says:
what exactly stated this again?
MotherHubbard7 says:
Wayne was a nervous wreck during our last visit
MotherHubbard7 says:
and I asked him about it, and he said it was b.c my kids are so bad and I am difficult to deal w.
MotherHubbard7 says:
he gets upset when the kids fight, but they are just being kids.
Messianic Mamma says:
He's just not used to it
MotherHubbard7 says:
we were going to stay until after T'giving, spend it w. the only family I really have but now I think we will go back to England
Messianic Mamma says:
what about the plans Rebekka Rachel and Susie had?
MotherHubbard7 says:
what plans?
Messianic Mamma says:
It doesnt seem fair to take this out on them
Messianic Mamma says:
Remember we promised them they could spend the Holidays together, they were going to see the plays the church was putting on and everything
Messianic Mamma says:
And Susie was going to celebrate both Hannukah and Christmas this year, just our family does
MotherHubbard7 says:
we were going to come back for C'mas
MotherHubbard7 says:
I just don't want to make things harder on my brother, he has things bad enough as it is.
Messianic Mamma says:
You cant run to England everytime there is trouble Audrey, and thats what youve been doing lately, I thought that Cruise would have given you time to relaz
Messianic Mamma says:
relax even
MotherHubbard7 says:
it did
MotherHubbard7 says:
and England in my home
Messianic Mamma says:
I thought we were all going back after the Holidays thats when Rebekka Rachel is scheduled for the last series of treatments Rebekka Rachel needs
MotherHubbard7 says:
ok, I guess we will stay
Messianic Mamma says:
ty and you know you can always come and visit me when you need someone to talk to
MotherHubbard7 says:
I just don't know what to do, I am at my wits end
MotherHubbard7 says:
I hate conflicts and the only thing I really know to do is walk away from them
MotherHubbard7 says:
even if it does mean walking away from people I care about
Messianic Mamma says:
If I did that I would be walking away from alot
MotherHubbard7 says:
well, there is no resolution, Wayne isn't going to agree to disagree, and I am not going to make the changes me wants
MotherHubbard7 says:
and I don't want to put undue stress on him.
MotherHubbard7 says:
everything got to him so bad the other day he was having chest pains
Messianic Mamma says:
what changes was he talking about?
MotherHubbard7 says:
trusting God, believing in his will,
MotherHubbard7 says:
I don't pursicute him for his beliefs, I don't see why he has to treat me like a heathin for not believing
Messianic Mamma says:
we've talked about that before
MotherHubbard7 says:
but you aren't constantly preaching to me about it
Messianic Mamma says:
No I know i dont feel its my place, but it is important, and you know what I feel about tha
Messianic Mamma says:
t
Messianic Mamma says:
I couldnt have faced my diagnosis or especially the months Rebekka Rachel was hospitalized if I hadnt had put my faith in Yeshua
MotherHubbard7 says:
well, I make it somehow
Messianic Mamma says:
Even if you dont realize it Yeshuas hand is guiding you
Messianic Mamma says:
We have both faced a lifetimes worth of pain times ten in the past year, but we get through by Yeshua's hand
MotherHubbard7 says:
I just don't like the way he constantly preaches to me about it, that doesn't make me believe
Messianic Mamma says:
my faith is what sees me through I look at my wheelchair every morning a reminder of this disease eating at me, but I do not choose to let myself drown in self pity, but instead I am grateful for the ways of the Lord
Messianic Mamma says:
the blessings
MotherHubbard7 says:
and I hate that our visits cause stress for him and his family
MotherHubbard7 says:
he keeps trying to call, but I am not answering his calls
Messianic Mamma says:
maybe you should answer it may be importqant
Messianic Mamma says:
important
MotherHubbard7 says:
I don't want to talk to him right now
MotherHubbard7 says:
he keeps leaving messages saying "Audrey pick up the phone, we need to talk about this"
MotherHubbard7 says:
it sounds like he is crying
Messianic Mamma says:
you should really pick it up Audrey
MotherHubbard7 says:
so we can argue again?
Messianic Mamma says:
He just called me I think its about Susie Audrey
MotherHubbard7 says:
what about her?
MotherHubbard7 says:
Naomi, what's going on?
Messianic Mamma says:
Susie fell
MotherHubbard7 says:
is she okay?
Messianic Mamma says:
Shes at the Hospital I will meet you there
MotherHubbard7 says:

Messianic Mamma says:
