CHRISTIAN PARENTS of ESTRANGED ADULT CHILDREN Community Group
Estrangement makes it difficult to talk about with family, friends, neighbors and church members. Christians are NOT immune to broken families. Talk about your experiences with those who know how you feel and get positive support through your Christian faith...."In these last days difficult times will come, for men will be lovers of self...disobedient to parents,...
Upon reading my daily bread today it was about God's timing. Oh how I want to hurry Him along in my timing. What if I did and I kept going through this unhealthy relationship with my ED. What if she never came to know Him, walk with Him and spent eternity without Him. Would it be worth the price of my request. Of course not. I will still plead for her to come running to Him.
As the pain is great some days for all of us, I hope we can be reminded that He is working things out in His time because He sees from eternity to eternity.

17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” 18 So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.[a] The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the Israelites swear an oath. He had said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place.”[b]
20 After leaving Sukkoth they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. 21 By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

Not only did God guide their steps in the wilderness but He gave them their "manna from heaven" each morning when their food had run out. Everything we "need" - not want, is supplied to us when we are dependent on Him.
God Bless
The principle part of faith is patience.
When we walk by faith there will be times when we hear and see nothing, and are tempted to aggravate a situation in the best attempt to make things happen in life, we are tempted to sway from being faithful and patient, and attempt to create options for ourselves without following what is in our hearts to do. A faithful mind requires a patient will. Things will not always move fast enough for you in your life, but things may actually be moving as fast as God wants them to
