Laura,
First, I must say that I am so very sorry for all of the chaos I caused by my "Prayer Request" post. Never, ever would I have posted such a request had I known I would offend anyone. At the time of my Request, and even now, I was/am simply seeking prayers. Prayers to help me and my daughters to get through such a devastating period. I am still desperate for help. I have visited many local churches and still have no idea of where I belong... I am a truly lost soul and don't know where to turn for help. At this point, I have learned that I need to keep it to myself and not ask for help from others... When I do, I upset or offend someone and that is never my intent.
To be quite honest, with all of the searching I have done, I'm not even sure if there is a God anymore. If there is, how do I find him? What congregation do I join? I just have so many questions and no one to answer them.

Today, I received your "Package" of cards, the e-mail from Sandy (when reading this, I honestly felt hugged, loved, appreciated and accepted), and the pamphlet on "When Will God Heal?" These items are very, very helpful to me. And I will share them with my daughters, ages 5 & 16.
We are still grieving and some days, I feel it is getting worse. I try to hide it from my daughters and I don't share with them how I feel about "God", but I know what I'm feeling isn't right... I should never have any doubts about "Him".
Darwin and Laura, thank you so very much for sharing this package and feed back with me. Once again, I am so very sorry for the problems I caused by my request. At the time, I honestly didn't know that asking for such help would result in such hurt on other folks part. As with any child, regardless of age or sex my girls deserved a Christmas. The only person I knew of to ask for help was "God" and I thought your website was the correct one to join. I have been proven wrong.

We would like you to reconsider and subscribe to our email list again. We are sorry that some treated you as they did. We cannot prevent others from hurting you, but we want you to know that some of us do care about you.

As a result, we are still grieving and my daughters are doing without. They, unlike other children did not have a gift on Christmas morning. I could not even share the gift of life with them because of my unsureness now. As I said, I am truly lost. Most individuals, when faced with my problems, get out their Bible and read it for fulfillment. I don't have a Bible. And now, I don't know what kind of Bible to get if given the opportunity.

We requested that someone send you the following, an "Old King James Bible" so that you can use it with "The Strong's Concordance" that someone else is sending to you. We also requested a CD Bible program be sent to you so you can search quickly. People have said they have sent these things to you and I know at least one person was going to send you some money to help you with food and someone else was sending you some literature. There are probably others we don't know about that will send things to you also.
We want you to know God and His Son as we do. We will give you some advise as you receive all the various items people are sending to you. Number one if you have questions please ask them. Don't ever be afraid to ask questions. Second, do not just take the word of only one person for what they tell you. Ask many people the same questions. Third, get proof from scripture for what people are telling you and then look those things up for yourself.
