Fear Not, for the Lord your God is with you!

I pray for perfect peace for you, but I can totally understand what you must feel apart from your precious babies. I pray God's perfect protection on them and no harm come to them in any way, not emotionally or physically.

I also pray that your ex-husband not have a good time with them and not want to pick them up any further, yes, I am praying this.

I believe the children's eyes will be opened up and they will see him for what and who he truly is and they will not want to be there much longer or for very many visits.

Carrie, you have trusted in God and though this is difficult, you have to trust Him, even now. God's ways are not our ways, and His plans are totally different than the plans we make for ourselves, but He has been with you thus far, you have to continue to trust Him until completion of this all.

Your sisters in Christ are praying with you, Carrie, and we are all horrified that he has the children, but we too are trusting that each one of those 5 babies is not only protected, but protecting and watching over each other.

Still praying here in Sunny FL today, Saturday, for your 5 little ones and for you to make it through this weekend with God's perfect love and peace!!!

In Him,

Dee

Dear Carrie, this is the first time I have come across this your second blog and did not realise until reading down that this was you. I am just so upset and horrified that you and your children are going through all this. I had no idea that everything had come to this and my heart just bleeds and goes out to you.

Please know that I will be covering you in prayer constantly and also making sure that I keep up to date with your blog. Carrie, I wish I was in a position to help you financially, other ways practically plus lived near you but what I can do and continue doing is lifting you and your children up in constant prayer.

Carrie, please just keep trusting in the Lord my friend and I cant imagine how difficult this must be for you right now and I can feel your pain big time. Please stay close to the Lord and make sure you find a church asap as you need the body of Christ near you. I cant believe how your last church has reacted and quite frankly I am disgusted. In regards to clothing and head coverings, as long as you dress modestly and do what you feel is right unto the Lord (but making sure you don't go too far into the worlds ways - I know you are too strong a believer to do this anyways). Please just be careful and just make sure that you are not dressing as you are now due to your situation. I am not being harsh by any means here so please don't take this the wrong way. You have been living plainly for so long but wearing skirts, tops etc and not wearing a head covering I obviously see nothing wrong with but just make sure you are doing this for the right reasons and not the wrong ones.

I feel so much for you and your children as all of us do.

Lord, I just pray for protection of Carrie and her children right now, I ask that you place your hedge of protection and your angels around Carrie and her children. Father, I also pray and ask that Carrie gets full custody of her children immediately and for the courts to see that Carrie is a brilliant mother and would never consider harming her children in any way. Lord I pray that the courts see through her husband's lies and everything else that is and has been happening. Father, just please make this whole situation right. Father, thank you that you are carrying Carrie when she feels she can not carry on or feels so low, fill her Lord with all your love, and peace and also healing. You are our healer too and I ask that her body is completely healed. Father, place more Christian friends in her path, those that will support this dear mother and her children in every way possible. This I ask in Jesus precious name, Amen

Carrie massive hugs to you my dear

Blessings Sister!
I know exactly what you are going through. The hardest thing I ever did was face up to my abuser. Take my children and leave with no place to go, no one to help.
I faced my husband in court and heard the most outlandish and absurd things come from him. I was stunned.
The lies he told the children about me was ridiculous. I didn't talk down about their father to them in the hopes that they would see him in his true colors eventually. I still don't know if that was the right thing to do but it turned out alright in the long run. The only thing I felt I needed to do was talk to them about their time with their father and take the opportunity to difuse any lies or misconception he might have given them without making him out to be a horrible person. I wanted them to know they could came to me no matter what and it worked. They knew that i wouldn't get mad at them because of something their father said or did. That I would be calm and speak plainly and simply with them. This kept all things open. Even when he told them not to tell me or they would "regret it" they came to me knowing that I wouldn't let him know what they said.
I also found out that during the whole custody process that children are not legally represented in custody cases. It's actually not legal for the judge to force the children to be with one or the other parent. The children have the right to legal counsel of their own. Chosen by the courts not either parent and the cost is shared or imposed. In my case, because I was an athome mom for all their growing up, I was not charged the fees, my husband had to pay for the childrens attorney which he was not happy about. This led to him "letting it go" and things began to calm down for us.
My baby is now 16 years old and it's still not over. He still thinks he owns me. I remarried 12 years ago and he still tells me he's waiting for me to come to my senses and return to him! The children? They are doing well. They know who and what he is and though they have a relationship with him it is very limited and infrequent as they don't trust him. The girls have refused to see him for the last 3 years now.
It's a sad situation when it has to come to such as this. It's hard for the children at first. But as their lives become more consistent and calm they will seek the peace over the chaos.
We are continuing to lift you and your children in prayer.
God be with thee!

Isaiah 54:17 says, "no weapon forged against you will prevail and you will refute EVERY TONGUE that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their VINDICATION from Me!" Carrie, truth WILL prevail. Just keep in His word and His promises. Praying for you!

Carrie,
" Fear is not of God but a sound mind"...... get on your knees carrie and cast out the fear that satan has you bound with! Thru the blood of the Lamb, the enemy can not touch you! Cling to that..... Whenever I am gripped with fear I cast the enemy out of my midst... my savior comes to my rescue literally.
Although I have not walked in your shoes, I have gone thru some pretty terrifying expierences -- believe me the Lord is more than faithful. He will and can fight your battles!
Hang on tight to Jesus,
gloria

I just want to add my "Amen!" to Dee's comment. (I have also been praying that your husband's time with the children would not be enjoyable for him.) My thoughts and prayers are with you and the little ones this weekend.

Oh my goodness. My prayers are with you and your children. I guess that we can hope that he had no idea how hard it was goign to be and could not handle them and never want them again. I know that it is not nice to hope that, but most men do not know how hard it is to take care of children and keep the peace ect. Take care

Carrie, I just want you to know that I have a prayer request with a Christian Ladie's group on the internet - which I have left your name annonymous just to reassure you here. I have also just given out a prayer request to a lady in my church who will get the healing team in our church to pray and prayer warriors, here I have given out your name but because I am in the U.K. I hope you don't mind.

You were on my heart so much last night and still are today and I am praying for you and will continue to do so every day.

love and hugs

Document (without bias) what the children say and how they look when they come home. Document any marks they have and any different "words" they use.
Keep all of this in a binder. A camera could be very useful here.

This is my experience:

People who lose their relevance to you often desperately try to remain relevant.

The more irrelevant they become....the more desperate they become...the worse they get and the more crap they pull on you, until they finally have no choice but to give up and accept their irrelevance.

You may not see it that way. He'll always be important to you, obviously, since you shared to much together, but not as much as before, since you have lost your trust in him. Just watch for that and see if it seems that way to you too, like he's just trying to remain relevant.

It may change your heart from fear to compassion, which is healthier for you.

Fear is a terrible energy that does nothing but make you physically sick. Hatred is also. There is no pay off to either feeling. It's a trick that the devil uses to warp us and make us sick.

Try to take the focus off of him and put it on yourself for a little while, and on God also, which is all you can do anyway.

I've read your blog for a long time and I have always thought you were a very blessed woman, and have a very beautiful and honest soul.

God bless you always.

Always do what's right. Keep that foremost in your mind. Do not stoop to do things you'll later regret. Do not resort to anything stupid or mean to 'get back at' your husband. Do everything right. Keep your trust in the Lord; not in the court system. Make sure when a false accusation is made about you in court, that you respond calmly and clearly that a false statement was made. Get it in the record what the truth is. I'm so sorry all this junk is hurled at you.

You have photos of a lovely well-kep house. I've seen them myself. Can you get your house photos off your former blog and present them as evidence of your housekeeping? There are several examples of a clean house over the course of several months; I'm sure that will go a long way to diminish whatever damage your husband's photos might have done.

Along with the photos idea, can you get the older children to testify to a well kept house because of the fear of what he would do?? Can the older ones testify to the abuse?

In your Storknet journal you detailed an incident when you had bronchitis and wanted to get medical help but your husband insisted you try other remedies. That proves just who was not willing to get medical treatment. You mentioned other incidents in the journal that were indicative of abuse, even if you didn't recognize it at the time, others will.
Use what you wrote in the past to prove your point.

I also check daily to see if Carrie has posted and finally went to her old blog and then to her daughter Rose's blog. Rose writes about school and other "normal" happenings, so I'm assuming that "some" things are okay. I'm worried about the little ones and about how Carrie is coping. Please, Carrie, even one sentence would set our minds more at ease. We will never cease to pray for you and your situation!
Blessings.
