Here are two very good links that have the colors to be used for ribbons: http://support.shades-of-me.com/ribbons.html http://www.goldnthings.com/awareness_ribbons.htm Terry @ sopwerks.com has some wonderful ribbon molds.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Tawny, I'm so glad that the mom lost her custody rights. At least something went well. It sounds like they are in a very religious environment and don't understand that someone doesn't have to go to church regularly to be a Christian. I hope you can feel some relief that they aren't with their mother and they are happy where they are. Maybe in the future, they will want to be with their father. I hope you get some rest. Those long trips are brutal. a On Sep 9, 2005, at 10:38 AM, tdianaok wrote: > Hey everyone, > I'm not feeling well, a long trip yesterday.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Dear Tawney, Hi, Sorry I am so behind on my E-mails, but you and your situation have been in my prayers. It sounds like, to me, that the girls need a different view of what God and Christianity are really all about. We still need to live in this world, not conform, but not be so non-conforming. I have written and read your e-mails for over a year, and believe that you are the home they belong in. Please hold tight, there are rough waters ahead, but think how very beautiful the rainbow will be! These girls needs you. Gentle Hugs & Prayers, Carol M. in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hi Carol, Thanks so much for the kind words. These girls have been so abused, I am just so thankful they are out of the clutches of their Mom. We just want them happy and safe. They have never had a safe haven, and they have that right now, and scared to let it go, I can understand that. They really don't know us, and so it will take time, and we have that. Will keep you in my prayers, and thanks so much, Tawny > Dear Tawney, > Hi, Sorry I am so behind on my E-mails, but you and your situation have been > in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Dear Tawny, Sorry I missed your earlier post--have been in the grips of a major allergy attack, and I had to run around the yard chasing my head from all the sneezing! I hope you are feeling better today and a bit rested. I think the stress of wanting to help your girls is worse than any pain. Your heart wants to take them in and love them, and people are not allowing it. But rest assured that the girls will always be in God's care, and at least they are away from their mother. What church do the girls' pastor belong to? If they lived with you, couldn't you take them to church every week? Could you home school them? I'll keep all of you in my prayers, as always, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hi Judi, I woke up in so much pain this morning. My feet are really bothering me, plus my back is giving me major problems. You are right, stress is playing a big role in this. They are penacostel, and I know I'm not spelling that write, so forgive me. They could go to church here. I am not able to homeschool, that is just too much for me to deal with. I had to last year, because of the area where we were, but that is why we moved. I hope you start feeling better soon, Tawny > Dear Tawny, > > Sorry I missed your earlier post--have been in the grips of a major > allergy attack, and I had to run around the yard chasing my head from > all the sneezing! > > I hope you are feeling better today and a bit rested.
