The sheep are all gone, but they left a pretty big mess behind.
I hate intuition.
Is it morning already?

Oh no... I can imagine that sick feeling of denial you must have felt. :( I'm sorry to hear this. At least it happened before you added more cash to it, I suppose. How many people work for you? I might be tempted to line them all up and interrogate them. Ugh.
Yesterday morning I got up and after taking the dogs out I spent a couple of hours washing and detailing my truck. You know you're in denial when you're intentionally looking in the ash tray and glove box to see if maybe you moved the money there and just forgot about it.

A total of six of us right now. The guy I would most greatly suspect (major financial issues) had the least opportunity, the guy with the greatest opportunity I really don't want to think would do something like this since we've known each other for 13 years and he knows me well enough to know if he needed money I would help him out.

Half of me is planning on getting the police involved while the other half just plans on chalking this up as a hard lesson learned and let God deal with the details.

I have a really tough thing I have to decide on in the next few days...and I'm terrible at making quick decisions. I'm asking for prayer...for wisdom and the backbone to stick to my choice. Please.

And thank you.

And stuff.
maybe, say your prayer and leave it, and trust for the answer, when you have the answer you will be at peace about it and do it, and no matter what others say you know what God said to you personally
I see getting in the pressure of a time frame takes away the peace, so drop that and just say Father I do not know how you will provide and or tell me, but I know you will since you said you will never leave me in the cold as I have done others and others have done me, than k you for your love and faithfulness to this, I trust no matter what, and in response just love the others no matter what, maybe this helps I do not know, you decide free choice Sis, free choice, when you are reay you are ready

There are so real nutters on CC. Some that don't have a clue about the Bible and the Christian faith but try to preach all the same. I reckon they're posing as Christians. No one could be that stupid.
Ran into some thief's that came to steal, kill and destroy Brother, maybe show them the whole verse, maybe John 10:10 as I pose myself as to know, when truthfully only God knows all truth
Or as Paul finally said to those people that accused Paul of his liberty as an excuse for to sin. Said he will not be Judged of man's Judgement, that he does not even Judge himself. What is up with that, are we not taught to judge self?
And then he said he is only judged of one, and that be God and he is safe in that, being humbled and sees to remain humbled
There is something to that you think?

Ugh, can't sleep. It's super irritating. I'd gotten so used to being able to immediately zonk out when my head hit the pillow...lately though, sleeping at night is such a chore. I've been tossing and turning for hours every night before finally drifting off...only to be instantly awakened by one of my kids. I just want to block everything out, all of it...just long enough to rest. Sleep deprivation turns me into a lunatic. More so, I mean. *sigh*
I see some sort of a healing going on, some layer of truth being peeled back on the onion that brings tears and tares to the seen, and creates confusion, so can't sleep not settled in what you think you have to maybe do or not do
As all the chatter around you, tries to ans has brought doubt to you.
On one hand to do this is good and bad involved. And on the other hand the same is involved.
so you see good and bad always go hand in hand. how can you know one without the other?
God says repentance is in the air Sister, hope you are listening and trusting. It is not ever a bad thing to change ones mind from one thing back to another
Is that not what God called for us to do, Believe over unbelief
God does love us all, the same and this Mercy is real to all, and it is the Love of God that changes us each individually.
I will say it again, repentance is in the air

To communicate while in the midst of is the greatest treasure given to us all here on earth. To stop in the midst of all the traffic in and out getting caught up in the fast lane no time for this or that, leaves us each in confusion and communication goes awry, when once before we had that
Can God restore that it takes both to be willing, and so are we all willing to learn and bring in communicating and not be selfish anymore.

That moment when you no longer believe anything anyone has ever told you.
It's weird cuz I'm not even upset, just...really lost.

It'll be fine. I'll be fine. Life is beautiful and maybe stuff will look better from the other side of a nap.

So, this just hasn't been my week. For some time I've been building a little bit of a cash stash primarily for emergencies, but over the years I've also found that cash is an amazing negotiating tool when trying to get someone to reduce the price of goods and services (waving cash under someone's nose works so much better than waving plastic). The foolish part of this plan is that I kept the cash in my wallet (not entirely foolish since anyone that knows me knows that I carry cash in my pocket, not my wallet).

For years I have left my wallet stashed in my truck since carrying a wallet in my occupation is a nuisance (paint over spray gets everywhere including in your pockets and wallet). Anyway, yesterday I cashed a check from a side job and opened my wallet to add the cash to my stash and to my horror I found instead of approximately $1,000, there was only $100 there. Someone literally pulled my wallet out, removed the cash that no one knew was there, and put my wallet back in it's original place so that I wouldn't immediately notice something was amiss.

The sad thing is that all the evidence points to someone who works for me, I just don't know who and even if I did know who, I couldn't prove it.
Sorry to hear this happened to you. I wonder if maybe there was a security camera nearby. Anyway, I like to believe that all money belongs to God so if He wants you to have that money back you will get it back one way or another. God bless.

But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. (Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV)

The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it. (Proverbs 10:22 NIV)

It's amazing how God can use songs that apply to situations that are going on in your life. This past Friday, one of our choir members, a woman who if very much loved by most people if not everyone, was taken to the hospital because they thought she had a stroke or something like that. It turned out that she had bleeding on the brain, and the doctors did not believe she would make it. In fact, they basically said there was nothing they could do. All yesterday after I found out about her, what was going through my mind was the Choir special for this morning, "Even through the Valley, God is There." As well as another song, "My God is Awesome." Then this morning, another song that was sung by the congregation, "Always" was also sung. It was like God wrapping His arms around the whole church, letting us know He is still in control.

P.S. We found out this morning that there are signs of improvement. I don't think she's out of her coma, but she does seem to be responding.
