The Powerful Message

Here is a powerful message that is hard to understand unless you are close to the inevitable misfortune.  Bible, 

Matthew 26:39:

"And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will."

This brings me back to the thought that since we, humans, can not see the big picture of the reality and truth, we don't really know what is good for us, and for the evolution of kindness and conscious understanding of the particles of our soul to happen pain is necessary. 

When we burn ourselves with the hot object we learn not to touch hot, when we are cold we learn the importance of shelter and clothing, pain is the main molder of our character and sharing that pain is the teaching moment for the soul. 

If nothing would hurt we would do everything: good, bad, average.... there wouldn't be any difference if nothing hurts, no one dies, no one is mistreated.  So pain - is our built-in gauge of right and wrong.  

Who am I to say who is right and who is wrong?  Nobody.  With time the answer will reveal itself as it always does.  Those that did right will feel lasting joy and those that did wrong will suffer personal agony.  What is the difference between agony and pain?  With personal agony, it's hard to sleep, function and live; but the pain gets absorbed by the Universe and gets replaced with peace and strengthens your soul.

At the beginning of this DFPS case my Daily Devotional sent me the quote I started this post with and I shared that with everyone that day the minute it was settled and done and my daughter became a property of the State.  Somehow I felt and knew, that it will not be an easy way home for her, somehow without knowing the core of the problem I felt that this is bigger than my child and I, and that I need to start paying attention and researching: what is so fundamentally wrong with this picture that we take people's children for minor infractions...

I found it.  The law that allows DFPS to take our little ones for allegations alone plus the empty words of "in the best interest of the child" - that is the problem.  It is not just a problem for me and my child.  It is a problem for all of us and you may think you are in control of your life, so did I 8 years ago ....  now I know, that not only am I not in control of anything, - anything can change in a glimpse of a moment and the life as you knew it will cease to exist. 

This is why Jesus concentrated on forgiveness, not punishment...because an eye for an eye will leave everyone blind....in this case, an eye for an eye will leave all of us childless. 

Parents are not criminals, families are not gangs, homes are not compounds and the only "house of horrors" I have been to recently was the Court Room. 

Promote Innocent Tears Act.  Reach out to your Representatives.  Speak up for the future parental rights of your children.

Innocent Tears Act

  PROPOSED BI LL TO BE ENTITLED INNOCENT TEARS ACT By Marina Burroughs INTRODUCTION The proposed Bill is in relation to the procedures for taking possession of a child by the Department of Family and Protective Services and is dedicated to my child, K. B. who fell a victim of the flawed system and has suffered the hardest heartbreak of her life and a life-long trauma at such a young age. No child should be a victim of the system that was put in place to protect the children. Parents are not criminals and deserve to be treated as such - the most important people in the child’s life.  Not many parents truly neglect and abuse their children, those that do end up having serious criminal charges.  No child and no parent should have to go through unwarranted separation unless there is serious sufficient physical evidence to suggest that the child is being neglected and/or abused. Hearsay allegations and simply stating “it’s in the best interest of the child” must not be suffici...

Bill of Rights Optional

In my dealings with DFPS I appear to have no rights.  Not only I have no right to life, liberty, fare prosecution, Grand Jury, being secure in my person, house, property or effects, but I don't even have the right to be silent! Don't even mention second amendment because you will never get your child back! There is nothing voluntary about the relationship where oppressors take your child, take all your freedoms and fight with unlimited funds at their disposal to not give your freedoms and your child back.  So through these dealing with DFPS I cannot help but to question: Is the Bill of Rights optional?  Is it sort of like an old Diploma that you hang on the wall in the office with the degree that is not even relevant to your actual position so we can show off to the whole world: "Look, We the people have the Bill of Rights!"  ....that we can choose to follow or not to follow... I guess that is also a part of the freedoms we have.  What good are those rights if w...

The Flow

Like with everything else in life there are different perspectives out there about going with the flow.  On one hand if you go with the flow you are going through your life with the least resistance, spending the least amount of energy and having the least amount of stress so it seems; on the other hand some say if you go with the flow you will end up at the bottom of the hill often in the big pile of sludge.  Going with the flow can be considered a sign of trust in higher power or a sign of giving up, weakness and laziness.  Just like everything else in life every situation requires unique evaluation.  If all individuals are unique than all the situations involving all the different unique individuals require unique solutions .  If I'm going with the flow and all of a sudden there is a bunch of trash flowing around me - it's probably time to get out of the stream.  What we do forget that there isn't just one flow and one spring, one river and one current o...
