Our family could use some prayers when there’s attacks they seem to come from all directions. Without going into to much detail just sweet and short as much as possible. Last Thursday we found out my stepdad was trying to sell the trailer we have remolded and been living in with our grandkids who we raise for a year on our property. We had taken my mom and was her boyfriend John back in March of 2019 in our home in IN we paid for everything no mortgage help or utilities nothing. Last year my husband wanted to clean up family property in TX and we decided to stay we left my mom with 2 of the 6 grandchildren we were raising they were adults now and wanted to stay there. Anyway that was September then my mom had us find and buy a trailer for 6,000 it was structural sound but boy needed work my husband and I did all the work and husband had 3 stents put in his heart with the last one also having a heart attack but we got it livable in about a weeks time and this whole time paid all bills and food. For everyone then my mom passed in August and mom had me make a provision for John too stay here in our wills if something happened to us since we are older then him by at least 10 years but we did. And no arguments nothing my sister got mad at me and blurted out John was selling the trailer and we had 30 days to get out. It’s been a nightmare. We have been to the courts have a nice judge trying to mediate for us. I have been so crushed and betrayed. People who were homeless we took in gave them shelter would stoop to such horrible things. Anyway please pray for us we thank you. I do pray you all have a blessed Thanksgiving.

This is a bit long, but it's my first official communication to the women of this community My beloved Presence Room family, You've been watching me shift. You've seen me fumble through rebranding attempts, watched me wrestle with clarity, and witnessed me second-guess decisions I once made with confidence. You've been gracious as I've pivoted, paused, and sometimes felt like I was unraveling right before your eyes. And you know what? You've never once made me feel like I need to have it all figured out. Because you're right here in it with me. This is what I love about us. We're not performing for each other. We're becoming together. As I step into this new decade, I'm done pretending the metamorphosis is neat and linear. It's messy. It's uncomfortable. Some days I wake up clear as crystal about who I'm becoming, and other days I barely recognize the woman staring back at me in the mirror. But here's what I'm learning to embrace: My transformation doesn't need to be hidden. And neither does yours. So I want to ask you, my inner circle, the question I've been asking myself: Where are you still hiding—even here, even with us? I know you joined The Presence Room because you're navigating your own midlife shift. You're seeking the same clarity I am. You're trying to package your presence when some days you're not even sure what that presence is anymore. Maybe you're: - Questioning gifts you've carried for decades - Feeling invisible in spaces where you used to command attention - Wrestling with whether you misheard your calling - Wondering if "reinventing yourself" at this age is courage or foolishness - Tired of dimming your light but unsure how to let it shine authentically Sister, I see you. Because I am you. And here's what I need you to know: The very thing you're trying to figure out in private is the breakthrough someone else in this room needs to witness. Your mess is your message. Your uncertainty is your ministry. Your becoming—as awkward and unpolished as it feels—is the banner of hope someone needs to see.

There are times, we don't know the essence of our presence, but Jesus is our center. When we don't know who we are or what we are supposed to do next, we run to the one who is the center of our joy. Enjoy the songs that keeps us centered on the one who's presence is all we need. https://youtu.be/ttvBt-kVMH8?si=u59vmefajAozAkvv
