... this is BIG.
... it is UGLY.
... it could have far-reaching,
life-changing consequences.
... it is so much more than
"someone hurt my feelings,
by saying something bad about me."
Because of the false allegations that were made against me, I must spend this week ...
... researching laws.
... meeting with police.
... seeking legal council.
... gathering all documentation
at "the old house".
This is so NOT FUN!
One of my Big Kids discovered this state law yesterday ...
"A person who, intentionally and in bad faith, knowingly makes a false report of ________ or _______ shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable in accordance with RCW _____.
Very interesting.
PLEASE keep me in your prayers this week for ...
... wisdom to know who to talk to.
... strength to walk through each door.
... truth to be revealed and believed.
... peace in my heart.
... love for the accuser.
The Enemy wants to fill my heart with anger and bitterness; while the LORD wants me to replace those temporal thoughts and feelings with HIS love and understanding.
So. Yes. Please also pray for my accuser. Seriously. I have no idea what would cause them to make such accusations. Please pray for their heart to be softened and their eyes to be opened to the truth.
Thank you so much ... for your outpouring of love, support, and prayers this week. You have no idea what you, my Bloggy Family, mean to me. I'd probably still be in bed with the covers over my head, if it weren't for your prayers and support.
Oh mercy - Lord have mercy on everyone involved and a special measure of grace and strength for Laurel in this crisis.
ReplyDeleteOh my friend you are in our prayers as you walk this very confussing path. May the truth be fully revealed and you be fully set free of all of this.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you...
ReplyDeletePraying for your family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're moving forward! As you do, the Lord will open doors and close others. He is in this, and all of these things WILL work together for good, He promised. We are praying, with love to you all!
ReplyDeleteYou are really walking through something awful right now but know you are covered in prayer and the enemy will not win, Christ will have victory. Be strong
ReplyDeleteWe will certainly be praying.
ReplyDeletePraying!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been vocal about it since I have not had much "online" time, but have been praying for you and want you to know that you haven't been forgotten by us =). I'm sorry it's so rough right now.
ReplyDeletePraying :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very scary. I'll be praying for you.
ReplyDeletePrayingwith you Laurel that truth will prevail. I just posted about a song someone shared with me earlier today from Hillsong...called "Desert Song" I don't know if music minsiters to you like it does to me, but if yo know it or if you go listen to it, I pray that it ministers to you right where you are!

Yikes.
ReplyDeleteLord, I ask that You be in this situation. Provide peace, wisdom, stamina and grace where it is needed. I pray for this other person as well. Work in their heart and mind and may Your redemptive power be shown in this situation. Amen.
~Luke
So sorry to hear what you are going through Laurel! My prayers are with you and praying Gods truth comes to light and He will be glorified in all of this! Philippians 4:6,7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus"
ReplyDeleteI'm praying Mama! I love you, and i was thinking of you yesterday as we sang in church "I will trust in You, and I will not be afraid...when the battle is close at hand, and i'm running against the wind, I can feel you, You help me stand, I will trust in You and I will not be afraid..." (i think those are the words. At any rate, it was an encouring song to sing, and you were in mind. :)
ReplyDeleteLove ya,
Linds
I am praying for you and your wonderful family.
ReplyDeletepraying for you sister... how awful.
ReplyDeletePraying for you Laurel...
ReplyDeletePraying for you here. We are in Ohio, I would LOVE to meet up!
ReplyDeleteStill praying sweet friend......God is holding you in His hands, He will see you through this. I wish that I was closer so that I could help you in some way....I feel quite helpless way over here. =(
ReplyDeleteLOVE the verse from Philippians that Melinda sent you!
........"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" AMEN
BIG hugs and a smile for your heart!

I just found you through savy little women and was saddened to see this as the first post I read from you. How awful that you must go through this.
ReplyDeleteA close family friend was recently wrongfully accused and reported to CPS all because the accuser, a family member, was upset over a fight they had. This case was not as severe as your case sounds and they got through it but the accuser never got in trouble because we had no undeniable proof that she did it. It sucks and put a rift in the whole family.
I wish you strength to get through this and I hope it is resolved quickly.
Mamma!! I am praying always and continuously for you!!! Love you all the way from oregon!!!
