Someone probably already mentioned this but just in case, remember Phillipians 4:13.
You have a gift for touching hearts. Through your sharing on DIS, you've touched mine. I'm not comfortable expressing the touchy-feely emotions myself but I wanted you to know.

Oh Jordan, I was gone for the weekend and came back to see all of this love blanketed over you. You've truly touched all of our hearts. You are in my thoughts and prayers and know we are here for you.

 

[hlrababy]

Hey Jordan my friend....I am sending a million to you!

 

[burly]

just popping in to give you some more of these......

 

[Millie12591]

I'm normally a lurker but I LOVE reading your trip reports!

I just want to say thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm in a pretty dark place right now in my own life. Because of you being brave enough to share your struggles - I'm able to gain hope and healing from reading the encouraging messages people are sending to you! It's amazing how God works sometimes!

Anyway - thanks again! I will pray that you feel God's presence and healing in your life like never before.

And thanks to the person who shared that song "Yet I will Praise" It's a good reminder for me. Here is the link on YouTube for anyone interested:

I hope you'll come out of hiding and allow us to get to know you.
This is a pretty great group of people as I'm sure you've seen. Hope there's a way we can help offer hope to your situation.

Sending prayers and love you to Jordan .

 

[*Seanaci*]

Just checking in on you, friend. Hope your week is going smooth!

Many hugs, thoughts, and prayers still coming your way!

 

[englishrose47]

Just a daily my friend!!

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Jordan,
I just want to say that I feel honored that you chose to share something so important with us. You know we are all here for you for whatever you need - even if its just a laugh. I'll be thinking about you and praying for you.

Jordan,

I am rarely on the computer on the weekends and it often takes me a day or two to catch up once I am back at work. I feel terrible that I was not here to offer you my support and friendship sooner. Just remember if you ever need a virtual hand to hold just reach out and I will grab on...all the way from Dallas. And if that doesn't work I'll get drunk and tell you a stupid rambling story....or I'll trip over some more furniture and break my other toe...

Whatever you need my friend. My prayers are with you (interestingly, like Camille with "love" I don't offer prayers often, because, well, I don't pray much and what if I forgot? But in this case I can say without hesitation that I will send up prayers in hopes that God will send you comfort).

 

[MaryAz]

JUst stopping by to give you a and tell you that I am thinking of you

 

[YukiPhnx]

Oh My Gosh

I was wondering why I wasn't getting updates from this TR. But I just noticed that I never subbed to it!

Well, it's fixed now. Time to catch up

Edit: Caught up and all I can really offer is a Jordy we all love you here. And as the last 6 pages have said, we'll be here to support you no matter what.

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

Jordan, I'm so sorry that I am coming into this late. What a horrible thing to deal with! As many others have said, you are very brave for sharing this. I am glad that you feel as though people on the Dis are your true friends who care about you & will support you through anything.

The other day I was listening to Air 1 on the radio and a new song by Pillar came on called "Secrets & Regrets". They had an interview w/ one of the band members before they played the song. I just remember him saying how everyone has baggage in their lives & how much energy it takes to hide those "secrets". We spend so much time trying to hide things that we are ashamed of and deal with it on our own and that takes time away from all of our other relationships in our lives, including our relationship with God.

Basically, he ended it by saying that if we all were to be honest about our troubles, we would all heal more quickly and not feel so alone. I feel like you have taken that first step for yourself & that you are going to be triumphant over this burden that you have been carrying.

Here is a link to the lyrics of that song. http://www.air1.com/Music/lyrics.asp?3005

We are praying for you.

 

[leight]

Jordan- also delurking to say that I've been enjoying your humor and insights in your trip reports for a while. You've obviously made an impact on so many here.

From another survivor, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that the time you are taking to heal yourself is as benificial to you as the caring you've shown to all on Dis. You are very brave to share your story and I truly pray that you find your peace.

 

[DisneyDerek]

Dropping by to say a quick, "hello". It's been great to see all the love and encouragement for Jordan. I know if he had the strength and energy to say a personal thanks to each one of you, he would.

So thanks on behalf of Jordan...and I'm hoping that he will still join our family on a short weekend trip to Palm Springs in mid-May to lift his spirits.

Thanks also for keeping him in your prayers....I know he covets them and they're the best gift you can give to him at this time. I haven't been in touch with him since his big announcement but will pass along the if we hear from him. Take care.

Elizabeth, this totally blessed me....made me cry but blessed me, I can only imagine how much it will Bless Jordy.
I knew I loved you as my Texas sister for more than us both being in the same state.
By the way, Tyler is having a blast thinking about being up at A&M this fall.
In fact we're all going up this weekend to look at the duplex he's been offered to rent. We're very excited!! His girlfriend is coming up too. To show fairness to my love for all Texas schools, I showed Ty's DGF the UT T-shirt I got for Mackenzie to wear while she was in the parks.
It's always good to represent where your from, ya know.
I think she about cried, she asked if I had one for A&M and I told her no, she was practically busting buttons the rest of the day.
I think she's worried we'll all be so gung-ho for A&M that she'll have to defend UT all alone...her family wanted her to go there (they all did) so she hears a lot of static about going to UT. Poor girl.

Derek thank you. It's been hard not hearing from him. We're all so use to seeing his happy/funny replies or his silliness. He brightens my day just knowing he'll be here. I think I speak for everyone here by saying we all miss him terribly.
I totally understand he needs time, so no pressure's there....I just miss him is all. By the way....I've missed you being around too, you and Wendy both. Say hello to her for me.

 

[pierresgirl]

A big ole hug to a true friend of mine, Jordan!

DJ, I'll have to remember those ideas. I've been known to make DD and DS hug each other when they've been fighting

Funny you should mention #1. Wendy does something similar (excluding the lyrics), having the kids face each other and saying that they forgive each other.

Idea #2 is great as well (I've got a lot of old ties) but I fear Child Protective Services getting a photo of us tying our kids together and Erin and Dylan seeing who can drag the other further on the carpet. But I'll give it a try.

We ask them to give each other a kiss. This morning I asked Erin to apologize to Dylan for something she did and Ashlyn said to Dylan, "I'm sorry" and offered a kiss.

I make my kids hug it out and say something nice to each other. My son always says something super sweet and genuine but my daughter will say something like "nice shirt" or "you have a great sister" Last week they were informed if anymore fighting starts while waiting for the bus they will have to hold hands for 5 minutes at the end of the driveway each morning for a week till the bus stops in front of the house

Jordan, if you're reading (and I suspect you might be), PM me. Hope you're ok. L
