Not the Sharpest Pencil

Duct Tape or Super Glue?

     Which works best to told together a mother's broken heart? Maybe it depends on how your heart has been broken. I have a story to tell.

     I got divorced when my three boys were 11, 8, and 5. Divorce is hard on any child, but I think it was especially hard for my 11 year old. I was a stay at home mom who adored her children. And they adored me as well. But my unhappiness and selfishness caused me to act out in ways I would have never thought possible. I ruined my marriage and ruined my life. But God had his hand on me and I answered Him when He called my name, and my life was changed. But the pain it caused my children, especially my oldest has not yet healed, even after 7 years.

     So that brings me to today. My son is living with friends now. He moved in with his dad three years ago, but since he turned 18 he has moved in and out of his dad's house 4 times now. His current girlfriend is a witch and worships pagen gods. My son says he does too. She also professes to be bisexual. We have told our son that we will not approve of this relationship. So he calls today and asks if he and his girlfriend, her sister and her live-in lover and father of her baby plus one on the way can come over to swim. (AHHHHH........NO!!!) But my heart is broken and I need encouragement. It hurts so badly for your baby to make such bad choices and you know deep in your soul that you can't bend on certain issues. I know God is in control and I have to continually place my son at his feet. Will you pray with me?

Yes, I will pray for you and Mike. I can't imagine how it hurts you, his mother. I know how I hurt when my boys disobey or disrespect me so I can only just imagine your pain. We've all bad choices in our lives, but you can't blame yourself all over... he is accountable for his own actions now. Thank you again for all your help yesterday... you're a sweet friend.

I will definitely be praying! Take comfort in knowing that God can redeem anyone at any time!~!! My parents divorced when I was very young and it left a lot of scars and emotional issues that I still deal with sometimes...but God has really worked on me and encouraged me that no matter what our past is, we WILL be wht HE wants us to be!
