Oh my what a day! What a few days! How does one regain anothers trust when it has been broken? A teenagers trust at that. I am frustrated at A's actions and I am trying to understand her thoughts in why she does what she does. I know it is hard being a teenager in foster care and having no freedom or at least very little of it. I guess I think because she knows there is a possibility of her going to prison if she breaks her probation or does anything wrong, there is a chance of a felony on her record, that she would think before she acts. She told us today that she did not think what she did would hurt anyone or that it would matter. Not sure I understand this statement and she could not explain it either.
I was told by her therapist to let her take slow steps in her recovery, I for one know this all too well. I am not or needing her to pour out her raw emotions to me, I do want her to be honest with me and give me the benefit of doubt that I will believe her.
Her actions are causing her consequences and those are making her upset but my hands are tied, I have to give them to her, otherwise how will she learn?
A friend told me the other day that it is not flesh and blood that we are fighting but it is principalities and powers and I have to admit I felt ashamed of myself as I blamed God for things that are happening right now, I went home and asked for His forgiveness. For the life of me I don't know why I thought God was putting all these things on my friends and why A is having such a hard time making the right choices. I have been praying and rebuking the enemy from A's life and my friends.
Am so glad that my God understands my weakness and my short comings.
Good night and be blessed.
