Well. I guess it's been a long time since I've really been around, folks. I've posted here and there, commented on a few things, lurked around a bit. Maybe I haven't been gone as long as I thought.

I know this is selfish, but the only reason I am posting this is because I am in need. Not financially or anything, I could just use a bit of prayer or happy thoughts.

December is supposed to be about really nice things, like snow, Christmas, New Years, and family. I've had my happy moments here and there, but a lot of this has just been a pretty crummy month. Not a lot of happiness from anything.

From a family member in abusive relationships to being worried sick about a friend's emotional well being, I think I've gone through more crap this month than I have this year. I don't really want to go into detail on it because I'm about to go to sleep and I'm in a decent mood at this point and going to sleep depressed, well, it sucks. I'm sure you get what I mean.

But yeah. I'd say pray for me, but I'm not worried about me. Pray for my sister and her two baby girls who've gone through more than two little girls should ever have to see. Pray for the man who's done all this to them, he needs it just as much. I know that may sound weird to some of you, but that's part of what I believe in. Pray for my friend, I won't share a name or anything, but pray for her as well. She's been through more than I have and how she copes with it is a mystery.

Pray for my mother, who's been there for this family through all of this. Pray for my brother who's been sober for four weeks now, an amazing accomplishment for him. And last, pray for me too, I suppose. I don't want to sound selfish, but I think I need it too if I'm gonna try and help everyone else out.

Keep all of these people in prayer and in mind, that's all I ask, and from what I know, you fine people are more than willing to do that for me.

Thank you all.

Good night.

Someguy,

Glad to see you poke your head in [img]smile.gif[/img]

Now, i'm not a religious person, but I will certainly keep those people in my thoughts and I do wish for people with those sorts of issues to at least think of the children who are going to be most affected by these sorts of things :(

Good luck, and I hope the new year brings in some happy changes for your family!

I'm sitting here wondering if it's better to post or PM you on this. I think I'll PM instead.

You've got my prayers and support. I don't know what else to say, other than you've always got support here, either a post or a PM away.

Peace.

*B*

You have my prayer...

I wish you and yours all the best Someguy.

Do stop by more often. ;)

Haven't seen you on IW in ages really, not in the regular way you used to be (why?)

While religion and prayer conflict with my style, I certainly wish you the best and hope things turn out well.

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and well wishes. It means more than you all know.

I guess to answer your question, Spirit, is I've just been pretty busy with school. I've was busy with football during the fall months, now I'm busy lifting weights. I've been pretty involved with other school stuff, basketball games, student council, FFA stuff, haha and lots and lots of homework. And I'm just a sophomore. I know it only gets worse. I've been helping take care of my nieces and help keep my mom from stressing. I hope that answers your question.

And I know praying isn't everyone's thing and that's okay. I know you all will do what you can.

Thanks again.
