TY for asking.... and yes.... all is well

Amanda refers to where she is as home, she is incrementally showing signs of a maturity she has never displayed before. She has begun to express a degree of fright about the future and what she will do with her life.... she did this through some tears.... while I smiled..

She did not understand why I was smiling, but when I told her that it was the first time she expressed such ever to me and that all young people to some degree have that thought.... she seemed to understand.... it really is the first time she has ever faced reality with a sober mind....

She also is having trouble trying to come to grips with her boyfriend.... it is likely he is using after leaving rehab early... she told me that it is likely she will never be able to see him again.... it breaks her heart... and scares me.... because if she does not discern properly and stay away... it could lead to her relapsing.... and worse.

She still has 3-6 months to go.... i don’t know what tomorrow holds.... but I pray unceasingly to God that He leads.... my daughter asks me what she needs to do to understand her future... i tell her to open her heart and pray with faith and thanksgiving...

She has come so far, the Lord has not forsaken us.... He has delivered on His promise.... she has grown closer to Him.... I can see it when we worship, her heart embraces Him through song and prayer.... He truly is a life changer...

Please continue to pray for her and us... God has heard our prayers and has walked with us every step.... pray He gives her strength and courage to stay obedient to His calling....

I face the dilemma of being laid off by years end... just another trial we will need to endure... please pray the Lord opens another door for us on that front as well..

God has blessed us on so many fronts... I am awed by what I have seen over this last year or so.... He is real.... all praise, honor and glory be His...
