Christianity Oasis Member Forum & Chat Room

Well where does one lost soul start, yeah I know at the top.... yeah well THAT story is too long so I will just put my crisis today. I was called into a meeting with CPS. things were talked about and as usual I don't think I was actually heard. In the end of the said meeting, I was strongly hinted too that I should Voluntarily sign my kids over to their paternal grandma, temporarily so that I could deal with my Depression/Anxiety issues.

How do I feel about this Temporary custody deal..? I don't like it one bit cause I want my kids with me, they BELONG with me. At this point, I say I know God has his reasons for this, but I sure wish I knew what they were. I know given time I can get them back but right now I just don't know HOW.

Hi Ginger and welcome to Oasis! Want you to know you are in the right place. First, know that you are here for a reason. There are some things the Lord wants to show you...healing He wants to do and some truths He wants you to know. My heart goes out to you in this situation with your children. Im a mom of 3 and I cant imagine having anyone tell me they cant be with me. May His perfect will be done in this.

Also wanted you to know that during this time of trial, let the Lord work in you. If you haven't already started the counceling steps..here is the link to do so. I cant count the lives ive seen changed through the Holy Spirit's moving through and within this 14 day program. It isnt easy cuz some of it our flesh does not want to hear..but it is truth...and the healing you seek, and the peace your soul is crying out for will be found in the truth.

Here is the link to the counceling steps:

Just take one day at a time, being honest with Him..and honest with yourself. It is sooo very worth it. May His will be done in your life, and know that you are not alone in this.

In Jesus,

fourteen Steps huh... well Step one :

I am numb...got maybe 3 hours sleep last night got up this morning had my meeting re-schedule for Friday..I'm so not sure if that is a good thing or not. But this is all God's working, so I decided to take a walk Ginger thinking.. I think better when I move. First thing I have to do is go to court tomorrow to say I am scared is putting it mildly, but I know I am NOT alone God is with me. I hope...

No hope ginger, believe God is with you
Doing the steps will help. One day at a time...

Im prolly the last one who should say "dont look at the circumstances around you, but trust Him and His timing", but...thats what we gotta do. Im praying for you through this as Im sure so many here are. This is a season...and He has much to show you. He is with you...it's His promise to you. No matter what it looks like, lean on and trust in Him.

Standing with you in prayer. May His perfect will be done and may He give you a peace that surrounds and fills you to the rim.

in Jesus,
love momo

Hello Ginger

God bless you this day.

I just wanted to let you know that you continue in my prayers. May God's blessed will be done.

And, to say, I echo the thoughts of those who have shared here. Keep hope alive.

The following Bible scripture is written about Abraham, and the hope he had, when hope seemed out of reach.

Romans 4:16-18
(16)Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,(17) As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before Him whom he believed, even God, Who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. (18) Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

God bless and keep you, Ginger.
Love,
Mack

Hi Ginger, welcome...sounds like you've got a lot of trials going on in your life...but what I want to share with you is that there is HOPE...HOPE in a better tomorrow...HOPE in knowing that whatever happens with your children...that God is in control...that He loves you...and that He will see you through this. I'm a mom...so I can only imagine how you must be feeling...but remember...God is a Father...and He knows...so lean on His strength and understanding...my prayers are with you.

Take care and God Bless

Thanks all, it has been a while so I'm kinda going to just give an update here. I am still getting my kids back I have visits with them once a wk, until I can find a job... and an apartment I can afford. Then maybe they will allow overnight visits and HOME to stay. I know I know one thing at a time, just so you all know... I don't know how well I would be handling this right now if it were not for you all here. THANK YOU JESUS for setting me HERE.

YO, Go figure there is a DAY 2.... Yippppie. Lord knows I hate pulling weeds, but hey if he says Do it... I ain't about to say NO.
Just something I am learning to Live by....

Hi ginger,

Welcome back home

So glad you are doing the steps sis . He is the medicine that we need at just the right dosage and time. As you mentioned one step at a time, one day at a time, one moment at a time. Praying that He will place you right were you need to be with employment and housing to be able to move forward. God's will be done.

God bless you and yours

Day 3... Step Three NO fair Forgiveness... sounds easy if only it were THAT easy. I understand and accept that Jesus forgave me of my sins, and realize I need to forgive others to help forgive myself but that's where Ginger gets stuck in the tree. So I guess the only option as if I had any really .... is to Ask God's guidance in finding the proper way to forgive those who have hurt me in the recent past. So that I can in turn forgive myself and move on with the Journey God has placed before me.

BECAUSE I AM MORE

When God starts to work HE really does a number, and all I can say is THANK YOU Jesus for all the "Numbers" he's working out In and for me. I know I called Step 3 Forgiveness.. did I forget to mention kittens can't count? Step 4 is actually Forgiveness... and Like I said with a lot of Work and a few very Patient people here and elsewhere, I have started to make strides in the category of Forgiveness even to and for myself. So to all of you I just gotta say... Thank YOU..
