DeleteYou are so sweet! I have a lot to learn, learning all the time, but I thank God for what I do know! my goal is to be an arrow to the Lord, and a hand to my brothers and sisters in Him!
I am so happy to see you addressing teen or young adult issues! I have a couple of them still at home and sometimes it can be really hard. Letting go is not easy for the parent, you are so right, but it can be very destructive to the teen or young adult if not handled properly. Thank you.

I have to thank you with all my heart! I am raising my niece she is 18 and so naive to the ways of the world. Her sense of innocence scares me when she is "out" she trusts everyone and has no sense of danger. Please share more posts like this!
