Helping others

Well, I am just getting ready to take my youngest child to school and I can't Virginia off of my mind. She is the one that I wrote earlier about that has been suffering from self mutilation, suicide and depression. My heart just goes out to her because I so recognize her situation. Been there, done that kind of thing, ya know. While I was at church last night in bible study my cell phone rang and it was her and all I could do is silence my phone because the preacher was fixing to close in prayer. I called her back after I got home about 1 1/2 hours later and got no response. So that worried me. She went to spend the weekend with her family where so much of her problems derived from and I was worried that she was upset. Or maybe she was just calling me to let me know how it went, I wasn't for sure. So after I went to bed my phone rang and it was about 9:45 and it was her. I immediately answered it. I explained to her why I couldn't answer my phone earlier that night when she called and asked if she had needed something and of courssse the first time she was upset and she wanted to talk to me I couldn't get to my phone! that's frustrating. She said that she was driving from home back to school and had a panic attack and just wanted to hear my voice because it was calming to her. That was so sweet. I'm so bad about wanting to fix everybody's problems though that I'm not always helping matters. So I am trying hard to make sure I only do and say what God would have me do and say to her. I don't want to have her fall through the cracks in society because I don't help her the right way. She is suppose to come up and meet me this week if she gets a chance and maybe come and go to church with us this Sunday. Oh I hope so. She needs to be surrounded by people that will not judge her and look at her problems as a defectiveness. Of course isn't that what we all need?
