I met Laura during our senior year. (I was 28 when I went back for one semester)

She was in a controlling relationship. She eventually got out of it.

Now, 28 yrs later, she is away from him and has gotten into another bad relatioship...
They have been together now for 7 yrs.

Here is the email I just read after getting home tonight.

Hi Robin,

I am sorry I was not in church sunday I was really feeling bad and I am having a really really bad time at my home with my boyfriend and his family they are tearing me apart, I am so depressed I cant take it anymore, I cant think and all i do is cry and then cry more I cant take this anymore robin, I dont know what to do Kevin and already told our landlord that I am moving out and that his daughter and her boyfriend is moving in, also his family is now starting to call and tell him what to do concerning me and telling him that he needs to kick me out and then tell the authorities that i have been stealing money from his business account. (all i have done is pay the bills) I just cant take anymore!!!!!!

he has ruined my credit i cannot even get an apartment or anything I have a 45,000 dollar tax federal tax lein against me because of him and then that does not count Indiana state and Louisville Metro taxes. I never thought he would do this to me but I am so volunerable, I believed him and everything he said to me that he would take care of me. ( he took care of me alright).

anyway I love you very much you have always been a good friend and thank you for that I just dont know anymore what tomorrow is going to bring I dont even know what the next minute is going to bring I dont even feel like this is my home anymore I live in my bedroom I cannot even use my own bathroom and have to wait for everyone else to do my own laundry I cant even pay the bills which are in my name he has taken control of everything.

Please pray for me pray for my peace and that whatever happens that i will be will the Lord someday and that i will never feel anymore pain like this again.

Love you always
Laura

Please add her to your prayers. Thank you.

I forgot to mention:

We hadn't had any contact for 28 years and recently met at Church.
Laura is a new member also.

How Goooooood is our God


Our friendship picked up where we left off...with Love, Respect, and Acceptance.
We've talked only on Sundays and had lunch once.

Since I have last seen her, I have sent her some Joyce Meyer videos that would help.

I have given her a Prayer to pray to help her with this mountain she is having to climb.
I do not have her phone #...she has mine. and that is fine.
We still stay in touch...somehow.

She knows she can call me anytime. and I gave her the time (10pm-10am) to be able to visit.
...the rest of the time would be for an emergency...

Seems like I've mentioned this place to her too.

anyways...

May God Bless you beyond measure.

Please continue praying for her.

Agan, I felt the power of prayers earlier last night. (Saturday night)
I realized the power of prayers was being felt when I got home and seen an email from Laura waiting for me that was sent a few hours after I received a PM concerning her.
How awesome is that??


It had been 12 days since I last heard from Laura although I have sent her 3 or 4 emails during that time. (inspirational)

(the email I posted was the last contact I had from her)

I didn't know if she is okay or what *has happened*.
I didn't understand why she hadn't responded to me when she knows I'd be worried and eventually be upset (feelings hurt) of *not knowing*.


This is the update on her.


Hi Robin,

Please dont worry about me, I will be OK, I am not going to be at church this sunday I dont think, I feel like everytime I leave the house something bad happens and I just cannot take all this right now so as long as I stay here everything is OK, I need time to myself right now and I am trying to get out of my depression, I seen my doctor on friday and he put me on a new anti-depressant drug (ACTIVA) it is supposed to help me sleep as well so hopefully it works.

I love you and we will talk soon, I just need to get through this hell that I am going through right now and get back to being myself so that I can get back to church. I really miss everyone so much and need alot of prayers right now so just keep praying for me to make the correct decisions and open my ears to the Lord so I can hear his voice and listen to what he wants me to do.

Love Always
Laura

-- This is what I replied to her...

Praise God, your okay!!
Yes....your okay. Thank you Laura for replying and calming my heart.

You just need more strength to get past this mountain you are climbing.
There's Angels here on Earth that are headed your way to help you.

An internet friend of mine asked about you.

Yes Laura, I have internet friends I'll never meet praying for you and they're like sisters and brothers we've never had.
How awesome is that??

Laura, continue keeping the strong Faith and know that prayers can be felt.
The first time I felt prayers touching me was 6 months ago. It was from a few of these people on the internet that knew nothing of me nor did they know their prayers were being felt. Only when I joined the forum, did I tell them how their prayers effected me.
Their prayers helped me with having to climb my mountain.


If you would rather not hear from me for awhile, please be blunt and let me know.
Otherwise, while I won't be worrying, I will continue to send you an email here and there. (Inspirational)

No need to reply although I would like to hear from you at lease every other week.

Laura, I do want to give you your space and I do wanna show you the respect that you deserve but I won't know how unless you be blunt in telling me.
I don't understand hints. My feelings will not be hurt as I will respect what you need/ask for.
I am concern about you not going anywhere. Does this mean you have no job or does it mean that you don't leave the house once you're at home?
I dunno.

...anyways, I'll visit back in about 10 days or so unless I hear from you sooner.

Love ya.
Your best friend.

Thank you Sweetie.
