Angela, no one knows why she did this. She always swore she would never do something like this. We have our theories as to why but we will never know why until we ourselves meet the Lord.

Amy S. Thank you so much for the point and the kind compliment.

To everyone who has gone through this or a similiar situation I am so sorry. This is my first real experience with loosing someone so close to me and loosing someone this way well it rips your heart out, but keep trusting in the Lord because although we may not know his reasons - he does have them.

Looking back I can see that he prepared my husband and I both finiancially and emotionally for this we just didn't know it.

For those of you who have, who are or who will go through this and do not know the Lord I really pray that you find him not because I'm some holly roller but because I know that I don't think I nor my family could be getting through this as well without him. He is my everything and even with the things I don't understand I always know he is there to hold me and my family up. He is truly amazing and I'm so thankful he called my named 6 years ago.

Thank you all for your time in reading this and the comments they are much appreciated!!

I have meant Jesus (Thank God) or I don't know how I would be getting through this, unfortunatly I don't think she did. She had head knowledge of him but she never did accept him that I know of. In fact she stopped taking my emails because she said all I ever sent her was 'Lord' stuff and she didn't want to hear it. For some reason I felt a need to tell her about him over and over and now I know why. We did find a bible by her bed so we are hoping maybe..but we won't know for sure until we go to the Lord. I know Jesus can do anything and I just pray he was with Terrie in her last moments and that she is with him now. She often said to me how all she ever wanted was a man who trully loved her and would never leave her and I would tell her that Jesus was him I can only hope that she is with him now and has finally found her knight in shining armour - but that is not up to me and I leave it in God's very capable hands. The poem was for me to get some of my feelings out - it was thearaputic I guess.

You would be suprised how many people know about the town of Butte Montana it was even in the movie Toy Story. LOL either way I clearly title it so those who are not familiar do not have to read and those who are, well they can have a little chuckle...:-)

Thank you so much for the kind comments.

This is a dedication to all the women out there who have been, are and will be abused (both physically & mentally) and was inspired by yet another story about a woman who was being abused but couldn't leave. It's a sad story but almost always the same in all cases it's always hard to leave no matter how little or how bad the abuse.

It is sad when you take your eyes of Jesus. You tend to fall into a pit of despair and you don't know how to get out. When you start wrestling with God it's a very lonely place to be. That is where I was when I wrote that. It was a few years ago. I'm in a much different place now but I like to reread this poem whenever I start to move my eyes off of him to remember how I felt when I stopped trusting in him and started relying on myself.

Awesome! I agree wholeheartly with the article. I was one of the co-workers ;-) who had no idea this sight existed and I am so glad I found it. I have only published two things as a test. Both rubbish in my Opinion LOL of course I think all my stuff is garbage never the less it doesn't stop me from writing. I can't help myself I have something to say and by golly even if no one hears me I have to write about it.

Anyway thanks for a well written article!
