Great Times on DS Mood
Monday, June 29, 2009 | A Happy story

I've been over indulging on DS lately.  I had to make a bunch of new friends because 5 or 6 of my old ones are no longer on DS.  I really like the new friends.  They are all very active and it's fun to look into the lower right corner of my computer screen and see that several friends are online.

 

I've been doing a lot of chatting, too.  Learning some good stuff about healthy relationships and new techniques with meds.  (Thanks halterbroke!)

 

Other than that not much new happening.  I waited all weekend to hear any developments in the detective's search for Riley and Luke.  I have to be patient.  I talked to him on Friday and it was encouraging to hear all that he's doing to investigate their whereabouts.  I finally feel like I have someone on my side who can really accomplish something.  In the meantime, I'm starting a new prayer:  that Luke goes to jail for a while over this.  I went to jail like 6 times eight years ago when we had our last custody battle.  It's his turn.  He always acted like he was afraid I would abduct Riley from him.  He needs to be punished for what he's done.  The thought of him in jail makes me all fuzzy inside.  He is such a sissy that he would probably cry the first couple of nights.  I would love to be a fly on the wall in his jail cell!  He has no skills to deal with inmates.  I didn't either, but I'm a much more adaptive person that Luke.  I figured out the whole jail survival thing pretty quickly.  I think he would just be clueless.

 

For my Christian friends, I know Jesus says to turn the other cheek.  If someone asks for your tunic you're supposed to give them that and your cloak.  A friend reminded me that I'm supposed to be praying for forgiveness of Luke and for his wellbeing.  I guess I'm not that great of a Christian yet.  But for the most part I am praying for God's will to be done.  I'm just praying that it be His will for Luke to go to jail!   Tee Hee!

 

I'm surprised at my old friends on DS (and the new ones, I guess) that no one is leaving comments on my journal entries.  I accept it though.  I've noticed that, just like in real life, everyone loves you when you're up, and people tend to get scared away when you need them the most.  That's OK.  God is always there, and Neal is understanding most of the time.  And supportive.  I forgive everyone because I suppose I am often the same way.  Sometimes other peoples' pain is too much to bear.

 

I love everyone, and myself!  Bye for now.

    No. Not so with me... It's just that I don't always have the internet. I've been living 30 miles from town and I always reply when I am in town. I hope that there have been some new developments for you and that things are moving as quickly as they seem. I've been thinking of you and your daughter and praying for the day that you two will reunite. It's great to hear that you've got a wonderful det. on your side who seems very adept at finding missing children. The news that you and Luke had custody battles before is NEW to me. From what I understood from our previous discussions you and he always had a good relationship when it came to raising your daughter. Keep me updated and I will do the same for you. As far as the poem goes, I did mean that my faith was sucking me dry. Not exactly what most would think though... I simply mean that I wish I had more faith than I do... And the fact that I don't and probably will never have the kind of faith that my friend Hannah has, is sucking me dry of all of my energy and happiness. Love you. Marcy

    I hate it when people leave DS or get too busy to be regulars, but I do understand. Just making a living and getting by takes up a huge amount of time for most. When I get into that place where I'm unable to forgive, I try to remind myself that often those negative feelings do more to harm me than anybody else. In your situation, I'd have to do a heap of praying to get past the custody issues!

    Julia,
    I sent you a long message or hug the other day. I looked everyday & nothing from you so the messages are not all getting through. I always look & wait for you & one other particular person. No answer from either of you. I am thinking of you all & hope you have a great weekend.

    Love & hugs, Judy
