[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 68692, member: 2389"] He called today and set up a phone interview for next thurs for Canaan Land. This program was started by a gang member that abused drugs, God changed his life and he has devoted himself to helping others change theirs. My wish for my son was for him to go there, HE is the one that suggested it to me, not the other way around. I have totally let go of the situation....I gave it to God and his will be done with my son. I know this is not a religious site and I have probably overstepped the boundaries, I am sorry if I have but I just wanted to share with you all the prayers I have seen answered and the peace I have about it all. My son also has a peace. To hear him on the phone is a blessing. There is no lying, no manipulating, no blaming. There is a geniue remorse not only for this past offense but, for the way he has lived the past 5 yrs. He has acknowledged many things that he never would before. He asked for a study bible today and I took him one. In it I wrote.... Sometimes God lets us go thru things so that we can better understand what others are going thru so that we might help them. "You Are Special" God has a plan for you Janet, when will Cory learn that he has to pay for what he does that breaks the law? My Corey is waiting for the grand jury that 'may' meet in nov. or dec. He is no longer asking me to get him out ~ He knows he did wrong Depending on the evidence and the doctor. seeking justice, he may not be charged, it may all be dropped. But, if he changes from this experience it will all be worth while and if I went down and got him out, How would that help him? You have to let go Janet. Cory has to have enough discomfort to not want to do anything else that would send him to jail. He made the choices he wanted to make, just like my Corey did. It was the hardest thing I have done yet to tell my son I won't come get you, you have to stay in jail. Regardless of how you feel, regardless of what someone else may say or think, stand up for what is right and he will only respect you for it. He has no respect if he stole money from you. What lesson would he learn if you came to get him out? Even it if was his money? I would give his money to his daughter, if he is in jail he is not supporting her. Traci [/QUOTE]
