I have surrendered to God's will...

The most amazing thing happened to me about 3 weeks ago. I finally broke down (literally) and prayed. I mean I really prayed. As I was sobbing, I told God that I was tired of trying to fight my own battles. I asked Him to take over and lead me where He wants me to be. (My fiance and I have been battling his bipolar disorder for 7 years now. I am losing the fight. He doesn't think anything is wrong, and won't get help.) Two days later, I ended up back at my parents' house with my 3 children and 16 (yes, that would be 16) dogs. After we left, he got into a fight with one of our neighbors and was arrested. The judge won't release him because he has been forced to undergo a series of psychiatric evaluations. I can't go home because his brother owns the house and doesn't want me living there without my fiance. (he has never liked me) Anyway, to make a long story short, I asked for help, and I got it. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through, but amazingly enough, I am totally calm about it. (Even though I am 29 weeks pregnant and will be facing life without him for a long time.) He's getting the help that he desperately needs. God truly works in mysterious ways. I have been fighting this for 7 years now. When I finally realize that I can't win and ask for help, it's there. I would love to hear from any of you who have had similar experiences.

hi rmorefield. I believe that God can change any bad situation into good. Prayer changes things. Just continue to trust in Him- the battle is no longer yours but His. I pray that your husband will be completely freed from that bipolar disorder,
I pray that God will touch the heart of your brother in law and start treating you like family,and I thank God even rightnow, for the peace He put in your heart that you can stay calm amidst all this, I thank God in advance that He will continue to bless you and your family..I say that prayer in Jesus name.

..we experience different difficult situations in life.. However, these are the times when we got to realize how God really love his people that He always provide our needs in His own time.. God's time is never late nor early.. He always strikes on time.. That is one of my beliefs so in times where I feel I need something from God, I ask Him and wait for his time.. I do hope and pray with you that everything will be alright.. keep your hopes high with God.. Take care of yourself and your baby.. God bless..

Autisitc children are difficlut to handle and beating or threatening is not the solution.This girl is this way because she has been handled al wrong in her life. You all can consult a beahviour psychologist for help. Best thing would be to pt some music on for a whiole nothing aggressive but something soothing and calm liek any mediation cd's with only music no voice overs. Autistic kids love music it helps them to calmdown. When you all speak to her speak to her in a very calm and composed manner with lots of love and feeling in yoru voice and you will see she will calm down too. I have worked with autistic kids and music was the only thing I found was the wuickest way to grab there attention. Try it on Monday, you may be surprised.

God will always do what we cannot do if we just trust Him with our lives. Congratulations on your new relationship with Him. Keep trusting Him even in the bad times or the times that look bad to us. We can't see the entire picture but He can. Hang in there.

I am sorry to hear about your situation I know exactly how it feels to have anyone you love go through anything like this or even similar or maybe worse. WHY I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL IS COZ MY SON HAS A TERMINAL GENETIC DISORDER. I have been taking care of him since the past 13years now his life expectancy is how long God alone knows as anything can happen to him anytime. HE IS THE 19th CASE IN THE WHOLE WORLD WHO HAS THIS RARE TERMINAL DISORDER. But "taking care of him" I consider it a precious opportunity. And yes I have had times when he has been in soo much pain that I do not know who to turn to for help as nothing helps him no pain killers no doctors and like it is said WHEN THERE IS NO HOPE THERE IS HOPE IN GOD.
I will remember you and hope your problems get solved
