him friends she thought she had no longer call financially its dis aster desertion the act of forsak ing abandoning quitting leav ing departing from in defiance of duty its no longer just a diction ary definition or a soap series it is todays terrible tragedy parents desert their children husbands desert their wives women walk away from home leaving broken lives words are inadequate to de scribe the trauma the hurt the agony of soul that ensues self esteem is called to the stand tried and sentenced to death hope is overtaken by despair fear wraps its tenacles around the heart and squeezes out life and energy loneliness feeds on the remains darlene was such a victim left to raise five boys on her own she too wondered if there was life af ter desertion today she says the key to my strength recov ery and joy was being able to lean on the one who promises he would never leave me or forsake me my lord jesus christ do you sometimes feel forsaken all alone with none to care when the burden on your shoul ders seems too great for you to bear are you wearied with the journey and the sorrows you have known talk it over now with jesus you are really not alone let your fainting heart take courage and your restless fears be still he has promised not to leave you and he never never will there is an oasis in the desert of desertion and hes so much more than a mirage dave petrescue senior
