Sometimes I wonder if I really am an illness...so many people just don't want anything to do with me anymore...it's like I'm contageous or something...I'm not, I'm ill and I need help, support, understanding, love, hugs and so much more.  I need to feel safe and wanted...Too many times I come driving down the hill and I just want to turn sharp and see if my car will roll so I can die...I just don't want to hurt anyone else.  I just keep praying to God to help me and hold me and heal me.. I will get there one day, one day.

Haven't written for awhile due to the fact that I was indisposed......I know that this illness can get out of hand sometimes, and the only thing that can be done is to know and remember that I have an illness and I can overcome any obstical that may occur from this illness....I will survive this set back and will remember that this is only a season of my life and not my whole life....I need to remember that I have faith in the Lord to get me through this....With Him all things are possible..........J

Haven't had a chance to get in here lately.  I had a visit from my pastor last week and we talked and prayed about this illness I carry.  He understands which is a wonderful thing.  Then I went to church on Sunday and rededicated myself to the church and God.  I was sooooo scared, but it felt so good.  So many people came up to me and hugged me and said they loved me and support me.  Most all of the congregation knows exactly what I have been through and what this terrible illness caused.  They keep telling me that it's the illness and that I am not a criminal.  I know that I doubt myself, but I just have to keep remembering that there are people who understand and these people do not judge me and support me unconditionally.  It's such a wonderful feeling to know that I am not alone.  Of course I am never alone as God is always with me.  Thank you God for never leaving my side and believing in me and taking my sins away........J

Feeling stronger each day now.  Been getting lots of support from the lay pastor and family which helps.  I know that because I have been getting stronger that I have been truly giving my burdens to God like I'm suppose to.  I'm releasing all my luggage that I am not suppose to be carrying.  Thank you God for opening up my eyes and teaching me to live by faith and follow you....J

Another day and looking bright....Thank you Lord for showing me my path...I may not understand all that is happening right now, and of course that is just fine as You will let me know in Your time.  Everything happens in your time and I am dealing with this illness as best as I know how right now.  I do understand that I am not an illness that I have an illness and You gave this to me to learn from, maybe teach others, and maybe help someone else who has this illness.  Thank you for that as I know that I should be blessed to deal with this illness, as it is not a curse, because You felt I could handle this.  You only give us what we can handle.. Thank you for being in my life and teaching me Your ways....J

Well, I know that it has been awhile since writing, been really down and no energy at all.  My husband says it's just the stress of this case that we are handling, and I tend to agree with him.  Can't wait until it is over.  I mean how hard can this be, I have an illness, I am not one, and I did a crime that I have no idea that I did, and I need to my amends.  Let's get on with it.  I'm frustrated I guess.  Oh well, time will heal all wounds and in God's time will this be done.....I need to remember that and continue my faith in God that He will help me through this .....J

Okay J, today is the day I find out what is going to happen with this stupid case of mine....nervous? yes, lost? yes, anxious? yes and probably so many other feelings that I don't even know about.  Okay, I have the faith and will keep the faith that God is with me and that what ever happens, happens.  Remember, I HAVE AN ILLNESS...............I AM NOT AN ILLNESS........... I will be fine, just faith, have faith...............j
