I will be praying for him.
Amanda, my daughter, has relapsed, after a 15 month stint in rehab... she decided to go back to associate with people who abuse... and it had devastating consequences....
Her choice was a bad one.... what you surround yourself with will be what you become.... no matter how strong you think you are....
All of this culminated in a car accident a week and a half ago.... thankfully, and by the grace of God, no one was hurt.
Over the 3 weeks preceding the accident she seemed to get off the path that was keeping her grounded, focused and sober. The first two or so months were a joy (I will always treasure them)... I saw the women I know my daughter can... and will... be.
Addiction and what it brings are insidious... it turns people into what they most hate.... even as things spiraled downwards I saw her remorse... but once you take that path.... it is very hard to remove yourself from it.
As her father... I can truthfully say how proud I am of her... my love for her penetrates to the very core of my existence. I am not disappointed in her... for that I could never be... just saddened by the decisions she made without reaching out....
God calls us a new creation when we surrender to Him... so I pray my daughter will fully surrender her future as well.. her very life may depend on it....
She is back in rehab... at Women Of The Well in TN.... a sister organization of Teen Challenge. She will be there 4-6 months. I pray this time she has truly hit bottom and understands that her life may very well depend on finding deliverance.... please pray for her.
Prayers for all the people who are fighting with every ounce of their being to stay clean... may they reach out to those who can help when the waves come, because they will...
To the families... never lose hope... we have a big God.... pray... and pray unceasingly....He hears us... He will act... have faith....
