I have six kids and a rocky marriage and just got bad news from one of my older daughters and I am just depleted. I am a Christian and have known for several years that my younger daughter is gay and I have struggled with that, but I just got a letter from my oldest daughter that she is gay, too, and she and her best friend are dating. It is a hard pill for me to swallow, I don’t want to be judgmental and push them away. I am trying to absorb it and will continue to love her, but I need a little time. Our relationship has been getting better and I don’t want to hurt that. I recently found out my teenage son stole something from a store and we had just finished dealing with that. Sometimes I want to get into a boat and sail away to find myself because I am a little crazy right now. This is our busy season for the business and I haven’t had enough time to have quiet time with the Lord. I have started thinking that maybe all of this hell is going on around me, maybe it is me. I am here now trying to find quiet and peace. I am reaching out to friends asking them to pray for me because I am battling and weak right now. I am tired and finances are tough. There is so much pressure and each morning I have to put my combat boots on. I need clear answers about what I should do next. I know God will see me through this, I am ready for Him to show me the next step on the road in front of me. I am a pleaser and want everyone to be happy and I do so much of that for my family, but I the last few days I have started standing up for myself. It was a big step to leave and be alone to walk and pray and walk today, but I needed this.
Good enough isn’t an option. It’s got to be the best I can do.

I just went through a bible study by Priscilla Schirer. It was about the Armor of God. Really helps me. Satan tempts Christians more because he wants to win us. I’m praying for you.
