My heart goes out to you. One reason is because I can identify with some of what you’re going through. Earlier in my life I struggled with being overwhelmed by feelings.

Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to get something professionally published. In fact, one publisher recently told us they don’t even accept unsolicited manuscripts any longer, they simply mail them back unopened. 

You must recognize your vulnerability and protect yourself from situations where you are tempted.

Randy would encourage you to move out and not to marry your boyfriend until he becomes a committed follower of Christ. You cannot violate the scriptures and expect God to bless the union.

The greatest sorrow is not being able to forgive yourself. You say you feel worse now than ever. That is because you are carrying a load you were never intended to carry.

You sound like a great mom who really desires to lead and train her children in the ways of the Lord. My heart goes out to you as you have to bear this responsibility without your husband’s help and support.

I am disappointed with God because I sincerely want Him to work in my life to bring about the fruit of the Spirit, but I don’t see Him doing that. I want to experience His power in my life and let the Holy Spirit control me.

My heart goes out to you and the pain you are experiencing. You're grieving a loss right now and I’m sure you have many mixed emotions. 

Your lack of feeling in relationship to the Lord could be related to some damaged emotions somewhere in your past. It is helpful to evaluate this area (not to cast blame, but to gain an understanding and add insight into why you may be experiencing what you are.
