thoughts about a subpoena
Some of you might remember that back in December, my neighbor came to my door bloody from being beaten up by her husband and son.
Apparently, a jury trial is being held in June for the husband and I have been issued a subpoena to appear as a witness.
This is dredging up all the memories from that day and subsequent weeks and new thoughts are emerging. Many involve guilt and how much more I could have done, SHOULD have done and said at the time and in the aftermath.
I realized last night when I couldn’t sleep that I have a lot more guilt about this than I thought. If you think of it, prayer would be appreciated.

We’re praying- praying with genuine understanding, as we have been exactly there. There is no condemnation, remember, but only redemptive conviction that turns us more towards Christ.
May God uplift you through this. Prayers for peace and grace…
Mak,
My prayers are with you, not only to release the guilt, but also for healing for the trauma you experienced.
Comfort and peace.
thanks all
Praying for you….and for your neighbor.
So…I went digging but couldn’t find it. But I prayed something like that prayer you sent out to revo a few weeks ago when we were praying for someone remotely connected somehow to Shane?
Anyways. Peace.

Love to you …
I was just thinking about this recently, and meant to ask you if anything ever came of it.
Know that I’m praying ..
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy spirit be with you more and more. Amen
Indeed you are in our prayers for strength, wisdom and peace. God bless you!
mak, i haven’t read your old post about this but i can say that the fact that she would come to you in that condition speaks volumes. praying as well.
