Hey good friends,
My last post I was complaining that my son was appearing to be falling again. He did choose to use some pain pills while still in the men's home telling us that it was a one time slip up. Fast forward a week or two and he was shipped off to another home for discipline. Well, the good news is that the new home is really working out better for him. You see, he was interested in going into the military when he finally leaves the home, but the original home he was in didn't encourage anything other than going into the ministry. My son was more interested in going into the military and eventually law enforcement like his father. So, he called us this weekend and said the new head of the house hold was ex-military and is encouraging him to sign up. This is very good news to us bc we feel he needs to have goals and be focused when he gets out. As a mom, I'm still concerned about the dangers of the military but over all I just want his health and happiness. So if this is what he wants then I'm happy for him. But still, there will always be temptation and opportunities for relapse. So, I have to hope and pray he stays strong when the time comes. It's just so wonderful the way God works, sending him to a different home that allows him to fulfill his dreams. Very glad for this!
