My only child, a son, and the product of a single mother environment where financial and other struggles were part of our daily lives for many years, is in his third year of college now. While I am very proud, I am very concerned. Up until he was around the age of 7, we were very active in church. At that time, a false prophet who became my now second ex-husband, came into our lives and robbed us not only of our financial wealth, savings, and credit, but also led us astray from our Christian values as he was a Jehovah's Witness and did not follow that except for his own personal gain and with no regard to the well-being of myself or my child. I want my son to have his desire for a connection with God reignited. I want him to want to seek a bond with the Lord and want to do the right things and not seek worldly comforts and distractions that are so glamorously advertised especially in college life. I am concerned that he may be drinking more than he should or he may have problems when he drinks, even if it is occasionally. I cannot bear the thought of watching him struggle with an addiction. His biological father and I both have had bouts with various substances (alcohol for me and cocaine and marijuana by his father). I pray that hereditary disposition for addiction will not be active in my child. I pray that a bond with the Lord will show itself to him soon and manifest itself such that His Light will shine brightly through my son and he can live in a righteous way and be content in this life and saved in the next...
