As an adult and mother, living with the consequences of my teenage children's decisions. Now after 30 years of marriage, I am living with the effects of a husband who has chosen to leave his family! I have to admit, I feel like I have lived a large portion of my life in true Eeyore style, believing that I am the only one who has ever been<br /><br />Believing that I am the only one left like this. But after reading Ragged Hope by Cynthia Ruchti, I realize there are a myriad of ways we live with the consequences of others' choices and I am not the only one hurting.<br /><br />I cannot let the rest of my life be ruled and decided on by anyone other that my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has promised to never leave me. He gets to choose how the rest of my life plays out. According to scripture, His plan is WAY better anyway!<br /><br />Cynthia...I couldn't get the blog site to post my comments, so I left it here.

I was just working on a column about having a relative in prison and was shocked that every person who heard the topic has chimed in that my experience is a shared one. I truly believe that is what your book will do - resonate with the multitudes with ragged hope.

We're right in the midst of the fallout and while I'm comforted by the words of wisdom in Ragged Hope, I'm in the midst of it. It's too fresh to feel the full effects of hope in the darkness. Or rather, that hope is the only thing I have left to cling to...that and my heavenly Father's arms...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-70035200721768883582013-07-19T09:33:19.971-07:002013-07-19T09:33:19.971-07:00Thank you, Cindy.
