Re: Prayer request continued

Fears/Acknowledgements/Perspectives. My Friend; Perhaps you are easily frightened, conditioned to only focus on the ugliness of the world. This is common because it comes so easily. We see whatever we wish and tune out whatever we don't. This is the mind at work and it basicly, has a mind of it's own. So easily it controls us instead of vice-versa. Fear only exists because we choose to let it. The remedy would be a boost of self esteem and a realization that darkness never wins. It never has and never will. We must focus on the positive, the good. It is there just as equally as the bad. For this remains a balance, a universal 50/50 as either cannot exist without the other. So, with this mindset and carrying one's faith, the only bad that can possibly happen to us would come from realms, places, entities higher than ourselves, in which case, no matter how much we worried, we would loose. We have total control of so many

things in our lives, and the wisdom to make the best of it even when it seems like it could be better. As long as we know that we alone are in charge of our destiny, we can adjust in many ways. When we reach a situation where it undoubtably is the work/doings of a power greater than we are, then... prayer and faith are our only weapons. The key to this puzzle is to actually know with total certainty exactly what is being manifested by us and what is coming from beyond. The mind very often confuses these two. Very normal, very human. Keep your head up. You have made it this far, undoubtably. Things may get better, they may stay stagnent awhile, but either way, we all are given the two gifts of compassion and wisdom if we choose to apply them. Your wisdom, and a kind, gentle-hearted mindset and footsteps will most likely prevail. You will win. Warmth and Light, Randy __________________________________________________

Dear Friend,

I am just at a loss for words, I know that I am posting this a

few days after you have written this. What I humbly feel you may

need to do is to contact a local Salvation Army or Red Cross, someone

whom can give you information on speaking to a local lawyer. In the

town I live in, we have a Catholic Charities, you do not have to

belong to a church or be of the Catholic Faith, they are there to

help people. They have services of once a week a lawyer will come in

for free to give consultations. I know it seems like nothing is

going right, and it looks like you are having so many challenges at

once, the strength to keep going is tough. As Randy so gently

reminded you, please do not give in to your fear. Keep at these

people, call them non-stop, fax them as you have and yes, I will pray

for you for there seems like a lot of things in your life that are

just very scary. If you must, since you live alone, learn some self

defense, there are videos at the library. I am not advocating

violence. That is definitely not a way to approach this person you

are concerned about. Ignore this person. You may want to alert a

neighbor, if there is someone you trust or a co-worker, friend,

someone, so that you can call them if you feel you are in danger. I

lived in a pretty scary part of Boston for a bit and saw some things

you describe, honestly, I just had to hold my head up, and look

straight ahead and just ignore any remarks, looks, etc...Fear, as

Randy said can overcome you, my dear. I will keep you in my thoughts

that you may have a warm home and the money for it. Trust in your

Higher Power is my humble advice. Namaste, Luna
