Trouble Sleeping!!!

I'm having a difficult time winding down tonight and trying to go to sleep!! My oldest son is leaving at 6am in the morning to go live in Texas with my mom!!! I have mixed feelings about this.....my heart is heavy. I love him and want the best for him.I want him to be happy and healthy....he hasn't been in awhile!
  So,I'm going to try to look at the bright side of things....he will be able to start his senior year of high school fresh!!! They have a brand new school that he will be going to .....my mom has a swimming pool ,and he loves to swim!!! All of my family is there, so he will get to see all of his cousins more!! So,I am going to give this up to God, to take this heavy load of stress and worry off of me!!! Thank you to everyone who has been praying for my son and us!!! It means the world to know there are people willing to give of a moment of time to say some prayers for us....thank you ....and keep them comin'!!!
Blessings,
Holley

Prayers Please!

Hello,stamping friends!
I need prayers once again....I know,you are probably tired of my request!
First, my hubby is in Texas(we currently live in GA) ....he will be doing an interview all day today......if he gets the job,we will be moving back to TX,where I was born and raised!!! I feel really good about this,and I'm so very proud of him.
Another thing I need prayers for is my son,Calin. As I've told you before,he has been having trouble for the last 3 years mostly....but all his life. He was diagnosed ADD when he was little,but apparently they didn't diagnose him right. He is now 17 and recently was diagnoses Aspergers....which is a form of Autism. He will be a senior next year...you know how rough High School can be anyways....well it's been really hard for him....he has been bullied and picked on and so forth.....he has always then, bullied and picked on his little siblings too. I guess some sort of retaliation/defense mechanism.
The long and short of it, is since school has been out for the summer it seems he has gotten more aggressive with my little ones. He is getting worse. I have been telling the therapist all along about this behavior. When I recently told him about my youngest son getting a black eye from him,he said we needed to do something....or I could perhaps get all of my children taken away,since I haven't 'done' anything about it.(not that I allowed it....he was talking about ,like calling the police or something....which I promise you if I felt like that needed to happen,I would have!)
Well,I've had to make a very hard decision recently. I have decided to let him move into my mom's house. She lives in TX with my step dad. As parents,we are often faced with hard decisions about our kids,but I just feel heart broken. I know he is going to my mom's and will be well taken care of,it makes it a little easier....but it just bothers me that we won't be a true family anymore. I won't get to be apart of his senior year and so forth.
I just ask for prayers over Calin and my whole family in dealing with this transition in life!!! Thank you so much. I have found some sweet online friends and it means alot when someone you don't really 'know' who is willing to give up a few moments of their time to pray for you and your family!!! God Bless,
Holley

Going Through Hard Times...

I usually don't post too much info on my family. I am a private person and like to keep things simple. But I need to ask that if you are a Christian and believe in Jesus Christ,to please pray for my family and oldest son,Calin. I know what the power of praying can do.
I don't feel too comfortable sharing all the details....and that's not really important anyways....God knows our needs and prayers anyways.....just knowing other believer's that are willing to give a moment of time to say prayers for my son and our family,is what I really need at this moment. As a mom,there comes a time when you must let go and let your babies grow up and take responsibility of there own life.This has proven to be a difficult time for me. My son is 17......he's been dealing with major depression and some bulling at his school and always been a little immature for his age. He's been dealing with this for at least 3 years....along with some other various problems. I had no idea that he was feeling suicidal and absolutely zero self esteem and worth! My heart breaks for him in a way I know all mother's feel when you see your child in such a desperate state. He's been in and out of counseling since he was 5 years old. Was diagnosed with ADD when he was little....now they think he might be Bi-Polar or Aspergers Syndrome. He will get a psychological evaluation in May. This will help us learn how to deal with things a little better and how to treat him. I just ask for anyone who is willing to please pray for him and us.....things have been steadily getting worse the older he is getting......I'm running out of time,since he will soon be an adult in the eyes of the law and society. I will keep you posted and up to date once we know more. I thank you in advance because I have no prayers left within me....but I know The Holy Spirit Prays for me when I can't or don't know the words to say. I'm trying to stay strong....but feel so weak at times.
Many Blessings,
Holley

PS- I feel very vulnerable in telling such private family details....but like I said,prayer can be a valuable tool.....and we certainly need all the prayers we can get right now!! thanks so much!!
