Wanting to make things happen

Just a short post - mostly just to family.
Sometimes we hope and pray and give of ourselves all that we can. And many times the hoping, praying and giving end with rich blessings. But there are times that for some reason that just doesn't happen. Maybe we hope too much, maybe we don't pray enough, or maybe our giving just isn't the solution. We wanted to have things work out for Kelly and Valerie, but it seems that something still is missing. She is no longer living with us.

  • I'm not sure things always work out "the way they're supposed to". Sometimes they don't. And it's OK to be angry, frustrated, sad. I really think it is.

    The real trick (in my opinion) is to use that frustration and turn it into something productive. That's what I find useful for me. Sometimes interpersonal relationships (family, friends, whatever) don't work like they're supposed to. And there are consequences ... for both parties.

    I know you've been struggling w/ this for a long time. And I know you've made a greater effort than anyone had a right ask. But I think it is definitely time to let her go, let her fail on her own and make her accept the full weight of the consequences of her decisions.

    And that "something missing"? It's not you. It's her. And you can't give it to her. She has to want to give it back to you.
