Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I am not sure if I am posting in the right place, but I wanted to share with all of you how God has moved in the life of my son and in my life. My son is a drug addict. Traveling down the road with an addict is hell on earth. THe fear, the worry, the anger, the hopelessness threatens to squeeze the live out of anyone who loves the addict. As their lives deteriorate, your life follows. This summer my son was arrested for stealing copper out of a house that was being renovated. (He needed the money for drugs.) He went to jail and it was horrible. He called every day and begged me to bail him out. I am a former enabler and I wanted to go and save him from jail. But the Lord, and everyone else, told me not to. So I didn't. Everyday he was there was like a week. He called 10-12 times each day. I told him no, he needed consequences, and ignored all the calls. But it was torture. And then miracle one came... I felt peace about him being in there. Miracle two my older son went to visit him in jail....and they have not spoken in two years. My oldest son hated his brother. Miracle three.... he changed. He withdrew from drugs and I got my old son was back. Miracle four.... His bail got reduced to a third of the original amount. Miracle five...I felt like God told me it was OK to bail him out. Miracle six... his old youth group leader took him in, and he is living with him and his wife. Miracle seven..... he is doing really well and working and going to the gym and attending NA meetings every day. Miracle seven..... I finally have peace in my home. God has done amazing things during this hard time. I am in awe of his mercy and goodness. I can not thank him enough. THere is just one miracle left to happen. Please pray for this situation. My son has not seen his daughter since July. His ex will not let him see or talk to her. He could go to court, but he is in debt and has a lot of court fines. If he goes to court that will just get worse. Please pray that her heart is softened and that he can see his daughter again. His heart is broken and so is mine. We miss her so much it hurts. I keep telling him that God will answer this too and we must be patient. Please join me in prayer for this request. Thank you to all my brothers and sisters who have prayed for me and my family in the past. I hope this gives hope to others.
