I agree that she seems to be a very strong brave young woman and a loving mother. I can only imagine what she will endure helping her children to cope with their origin as they continue to mature.<br />I cheer her on as well and pray the Lord will be with her and guide her steps. I especially liked her response when asked if she was bitter and she responded "that would be giving him continued power over me". Wow!<br />You are right of course, God is just and those who think they got away with things here on earth will eventually find correct, swift, and everlasting judgment. Thank goodness we are not tasked with judging each other as I am sure we would be just as flawed at that as we are at so many other things.<br />Fortunately we can trust and find peace in God's ways even though they are beyond our comprehension.<br />Thank you for taking time to post on this very important though difficult topic as we all need to be aware of it. Continue to find peace and rest in him my love. I am thinking of you here in my lonely hotel room.<br />All my love,<br />meMr AGPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-44237585005810671772011-07-11T21:25:03.003-05:002011-07-11T21:25:03.003-05:00Nicely and eloquently put Rebecca.

I hope she can get over all of the emotionally traumatic times and truly focus on a new life for herself. I cried for her Mother and for Jaycee...just wanting to see each other again.

I was so sick for her...What this child and young woman had to go though along. She kept strong and made it back home thank God! She is one very brave girl and as so much to teach so many of us. <br />Even this morning while traveling to work Gary and I could not get over no one ever looking into the back yard or following up with sightings of little one in the yard..Amazing....it just tears your heart out.<br />Big hugs for you, ElizabethElizabeth and Gary https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849231608931954395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-32043744142896378072011-07-11T14:23:59.017-05:002011-07-11T14:23:59.017-05:00It was so hard to watch.

When I heard all the times the parole officers were in the house and NEVER went into the back yard to investigate, it makes me crazy! And it broke my heart that this sick man mixed religion in with his disgusting world. I pray that someday Jaycee will be able to find the true love of Jesus, and not have it bring back horrible memories of abuse. I was so impressed with her sweetness. I pray for her, and her daughters, that healing will come.Goosegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438233253491253506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-47931503777531839612011-07-11T14:01:16.783-05:002011-07-11T14:01:16.783-05:00Hi there, Such a timely post-I too watched the Dia...Hi there, Such a timely post-I too watched the Diane Sawyer show last night and was so disappointed in my birth state of Ca. too.

It is so easy to become bitter in our world, even when we have not experienced a fraction of what this young woman did. God works in mysterious ways, and this is just one.

Celebrities, sports stars, politicians and the like. Lightweights. Someone like Jaycee Dugard...an everyday person who endured unspeakable horrors...and was able to maintain her integrity of spirit through all of it...is truly a hero. I'm cheering her on, as well. I hope that she is able to find her life again. Somehow, I believe she will.<br /><br />KathyKatyDidStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924565488913959754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-47237275242420102792011-07-11T10:23:28.748-05:002011-07-11T10:23:28.748-05:00It was an emotional interview, a horrific story, a...It was an emotional interview, a horrific story, and a marvelous woman! <br />KathyShawklhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303018876968056901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-27383496526749332782011-07-11T10:10:51.521-05:002011-07-11T10:10:51.521-05:00Rebecca, I didn't see this interview...I wound...Rebecca, I didn't see this interview...I wound very easily and can't deal with much of what happens in this world.<br /><br />I did need to read this.
