My son was moved on Thursday Night. When I was pregnant with him, I remember thinking that God had given me such a beautiful gift with which to be responsible for. What I failed to understand was that it wasn't forever.
A very wise friend told me that "Your children are born for you to let them go." This is so true, but the most difficult thing I have ever done.
I recognize that he has made a mistake which he needs to pay the price. But I promise that we as the family are paying the price too. A reminder that your actions and your reactions WILL affect those around you, have no doubt.
It's okay, really it is; because this is something he must go through. As mentioned before, there is a blessing on the other side, I just know it. And we have to trust and recognize that God is always faithful especially in the darkest moments of our days. And we must be there with him, to love, to encourage, to remind him that he is thought of and loved daily.
I am amazed but there are thousands of families out there who just give up. How do you do that? How do you love a person, raise them, teach them, give them everything they need then just give up? But it happens. There are 55,000+ people in the prison system currently, I wonder how many feel the sting of a family which gives up on them? Well I won't do it. As long as God gives me breath, I am here for him and will love him unconditionally. Jesus loved me as such, who am I not to pass on the gift?
So today, I ask for my friends and family to pray for Lee. He is in a dark place, but our Heavenly Father is with him. Lord, please hold him in your precious arms and remind him that You are His King.
Your Loving Daughter,
Eve
