I remember that verse "a man will leave his father and mother and cling to his wife" I think in this case, you are following God. Don is your new family new and marriage is more intimate then father,mother,brother, sister, relationships. This is a ministry God is giving us, married believers. It's hard for me because I live with my mother and there is no other way. We are not fighting but there is little privacy, etc. I hope you are Ok Amy. As believers, we are supposed to love the unlovable and we can't do it in our own power. I gave up trying, and asked God and God works in me to help me love, where I couldn't love before. I hope God will work in your mom and sister. I hope I didn't offend you. I mean well.

I will be ok. I am sad about my family but the Lord has given me a future and He has shown me in visions that Don and I will have a son and a daughter. I actually saw our son with Don in a vision before I knew I would be the mother.
The Lord will heal my heart and I am praying that there will be some sort of restoration with my mom and sisters and that the Lord will heal the brokenness. I understand why Don is insisting on me distancing myself from them. He wants to protect me and hates seeing me hurt. My family has used me as their punching bag for a long time. I always took it. I always forgave. And the cycle repeated.
Dom, you didn't offend me. I don't usually offend easily but I am not sure why you thought you might have offended me. Been bullied so much that I have a thick skin. Yeah I get hurt but usually only from people close to me.

That is awesome the Lord has given you a vision and dream of children. I hope and pray that the Lord will bless you and Don with the children God showed you. It's funny about some dreams. Some are really true and from the Lord. Once, my wife was with child, people told me we were having a boy, but before they told me that, I had a dream I was holding my daughter, and guess what...God bless us with a daughter. That was after my wife suffered an ectopic pregnancy. God is good and blesses us.
Dear God, please let children be born to Amy and Don as you have shown her. Please help Amy's heart to heal from the family abuse. Please heal Don's back too. Thank you, even for Amy's mother and sister, please help them to forgive and love Don. Please let Your love shine and be so real in these families lives. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Hi Amy, Based on what you had shared a long time ago with your mom being overbearing and your sisters not being helpful with your mom’s care, I can see why Don insists that you separate yourself from them. You need time away from your family because they are toxic and will only bring you down. It’s good that you forgive them continually but trust has been broken so many times that you’ll need to get away from them to see more clearly, heal fully, and start your new life with Don. Praying that there would be healing for all ❤️

When you are living in it, you don't see it clearly and the way my mind copes is to forgive and forget so that I can survive for the next blow. Thank you. It was hard to read but it was necessary and the most loving thing you could ever do for me. I love you my sister.

Well my family called twice the other day. Mom misplaced her birth record and wanted to know if I had it. I told her I gave it to her before I moved out. She then thought she had put it in with my baby book she just gave me. I told her I hadn't seen it but that I would double check once I got done with laundry and making lunch. Then my sister called. We had just sat done to have lunch. She asked if I knew dad's mother's name. She died when dad was a child. I didn't know it but I did have dad's birth records in my baby book for some reason. I told her I would dig it out after lunch. She insisted I do it immediately because mom was on the phone with the records office. So I did it. Don didn't like me doing this. Seeing me jump because they told me to when it could have easily waited 30 minutes for us to finish eating. So now I am not allowed to communicate with them at all.
Ugh....I am being ripped apart. I know Don is doing this to help me. It just hurts badly to see my family as he sees them, which is true, and still loving them and wanting them to be part of my life but knowing they are toxic. I am hurting and yet so grateful for the joyful new life the Lord has given me.

I prayed for your mother to find the birth records. I could understand why Don didn't like you doing this. Sometimes, I get jealous of my wife when she is doing so many things for her mother too and I'm feeling neglected. I hope Don will understand and I hope I can understand my wife too. I think you did good by helping your mother try to find the records. Do you think her records might be in back of your dad's records? Well, I'm glad you and Don are working things out. It's hard for us to sometimes cling to our spouses when our family is asking something of us.
God, please help Amy's marriage to grow and flourish. Thank you for giving her Don and giving Amy to Don. Please help Amy's mom find her missing records wherever they might be, please show them to her mother. Lord, please help the pain to heal in the family like we have in our family too. Please keep using Amy for your glory in Jesus' name. Amen.

Hey Amy, long time no hear! How are you going? Things have been crazy. The camper has had a few issues...sewer and air conditioner. The Lord has been good through it though. Sewer broke but is still usable until we get the parts for Don to fix it. Air conditioner broke but the Lord drastically cooled down the weather while we waited on the part Don needed to fix it. Today he will be working on it. Hmm...I dumped boiling water on my leg. We prayed over it and the pain, redness and blisters went away. The only thing you can see is the remnants of the blistering. I have opened up to Don more about my past...the abuse and porn. Telling him things I have never told to anyone but Christ. The Lord has really changed our relationship for the better. Don is more loving and kind to me. Treats me like I am special and precious and deeply loved. I have never experienced that before. It makes it very easy for me to respond in kind and to honor him as head of the family. It also helps me to trust him. I know he isn't perfect and the only one I can fully rely on is Jesus. Don is so close to Christ and I see Christ in him and I know that Christ will continue to draw Don closer to Him because Don is open to it. I have changed dramatically too. I am confident in myself as Don's helpmate. I don't need to control the relationship. I don't need to rule. That is a foreign concept to me and I am enjoying it! I am more open to conversing with people. I stood up to my family. I am no longer stagnant! I am sad that my mother hasn't called to make things right...to apologize to Don. I am praying that Christ will bring about change in her heart and reconciliation of some kind will happen. I am glad that she is saved and if nothing else I will see her in heaven. Don and I have been studying exorcism. Our ministry will involve some of that. Don has done it in the past but it's new to me. We found a pastor in Greece that has a ministry in it. Watching him has been eye opening. Most exorcists on the internet are fake...this pastor isn't.

Watching him has been eye opening. Most exorcists on the internet are fake...this pastor isn't. My parents used to perform exorcisms when I was very little. I would be asleep when they occured. Sometimes I remember some screaming and praying holding a person down. When the demon left, they told them to receive Christ and receive his love and grace or there would be many more demons to return. One person in particular was a sex addict. I've witnessed two exorcisms up close and personal. It's not a good thing for young people to witness. For true believers in Christ, we have been given authority and dominion over angels and demons. The only advise I would give is be careful seeking them. We are to seek God above all and want to stay in pursuit and focus of God not the demonic. However, we must be ready and willing to help people when I'm need. I pray you help where needed. Many times, demonic activity is near sexual addictions and abuse as I've learned today from one of my friends.

We won't be seeking them out but our ministry will be focused on helping those that have been sex trafficked so we will run into it. The thing is that exorcism isn't necessary for those that have accepted Christ. I was full of demons when I gave myself to Christ decades ago. I was abused growing up. The Holy Spirit began working them out of me. Took many years. I couldn't handle working them all out of me at once. The first ones to go were the weak ones. The final ones....were just removed. Family generational ones are very entrenched. I will keep in mind about not letting our future children witness exorcism.

I never have seen an exorcism but will keep that in mind. I have only heard of speaking in voices and other tongues and eyes-dilated, levitation and that kind of stuff. I don't want to see it. If I knew someone was demon-possessed I would pray in the name of Jesus and I know from the Bible, some require prayer and fasting. I know demons are afraid of Jesus Christ because he will send them to the abyss and punishment later. I'm glad you are in a ministry Amy. God bless you. You too Luke, take care.

The joys of RV life. We have been stranded since Saturday. We contract with Good Sam enterprise for their towing service. We started Saturday morning at 6:40 to get a tow to the mechanic. We are still trying to get a tow and it's Monday. If you have an RV do not use Good Sam enterprise. We will be switching to AAA.
