WHEN YOU HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OPTIONS, YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO PROTECT THE CHILD AND YOUR SANITY. GIRL THIS IS HARD!!!! GOD HAS BEEN WITH ME THROUGH SO MUCH AND ITS ONLY BECAUSE OF HIM I HAVE MY SANITY. THEY MAKE THE CHOICES AND SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD DO WE COME OUT OF THESE THINGS.

THIS IS WHY ITS SO PAINFUL TO WATCH OUR CHILDREN MAKE DANGEROUS CHOICES, END RESULTS IS DESTRUCTION, WHETHER IT BE THERE PHYSICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH OR WORSE. I LOVE YOU KAY
Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long.Psalm 25:4–5
Thank you so much for your Prayers and thoughts. My Mom fell last Thursday. My wife Arnette (a.k.a) Arnie and my self have been with her helping her as we are able. So I have been away. When I checked my e-mail, then saw your post, I was/am Blessed by them. Thank you for your Prayers and I ask you to include my Mom. I will keep you in my Prayers. I want you to know, you are clearly hearing The Spirit. for I have been in need of your Prayers and thoughts.
When the church stoops so low as to acknowledge the wisdom of this world, who will observe any distinct testimony for God? All sinks down to one common level, and the enemy will have his own way. In this way the voice of truth is hushed and God is forgotten. The attempt to accommodate truth to those who are of the world can only end in complete failure. Let truth stand upon its own heavenly height; let saints stand fully and firmly with it; let them invite sinners up to it; but let them not descend to the low and groveling pursuits and habits of the world, and thus rob truth of all of its edge and power. It is far better to allow the contrast between God’s truth and the world’s ways to be fully seen, than to identify with them, when they really do not agree. We may think to commend truth to the minds of worldly people by an effort to conform to their ways; but, so far from commending it, we in reality expose it to secret contempt and scorn. The man who conforms to the world will be the enemy of Christ, and the enemy of Christ’s people. Let us shake off the world’s influence, and purge ourselves from its ways.
We have no idea how insidiously it [the world’s influence] creeps in upon us. The enemy at first weans from really simple and Christian habits, and by degrees we drop into the current of the world’s thoughts. What is needed is the single-minded devotion of people to whom the Lord is everything and the world is nothing. May we, with holy jealousy and tenderness of conscience, watch against every approach of evil.

“Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A.W. Tozer, …
It is indeed praiseworthy for a believer to consecrate his life to the Lord, but he must never do so lightly or thoughtlessly. Before committing your life in service to God today, count the cost, for No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God (Luke 9:62).
The true follower of Christ will not ask, "If I embrace this truth, what will it cost me?" Rather he will say, "This is truth. God help me to walk in it, let come what may!"
One can believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and feel no personal loyalty to Him at all - indeed, pay no attention whatever to His commandments and His will for one's life. One can believe intellectually in the efficacy of prayer and never do any praying.
What an incredible witness it is to a lost and fearful society when the Christian acts like a child of God, living under the loving sovereignty of the Heavenly Father.
f you know that God loves you, you should never question a directive from Him. It will always be right and best. When He gives you a directive, you are not just to observe it, discuss it, or debate it. You are to obey it.

teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all day long. Psalm 25:4–5
