Happy Birthday Noah

Today is my 3rd Noah's birthday. He is 15 years old.

Two weeks before Christmas he went to stay with his father in Sydney. He has decided to stay there and not return home. As a mother who loves her , I am heartbroken. His father is a drug addict and really isn't there for him, yet he choses not to come home where there is boundaries and responsabilities. He was being rebellious and difficult before he left and I hoped that he would see just how good he has it here, but unfortunately it has backfired as he has learnt to 'play the manipulation game'.

This is the first time that he has been away from home on his special day, and I am sad and a bit lost to say the least. Nothing upsets me more greatly and thats when parents use as pawns to get what they want instead of what is best for the . I could take legal steps to get him back, but I will not enforce this, even though I feel like it. Sometimes you just have to let go, and let God, but hey isn't it hard at times?

 Louise, I am sorry that your son rebelled and decided to stay with his dad. But I can tell you from my own experience, something will happen and he will make the decision to come home where he belongs. I believe right now, God is teaching him a lesson. Yes, we have to let go and let God so that He may lead them and teach them. Happy Birthday Noah!! GBY! LYS! And I haven't forgotten about your email - okay???
May God Bless You in ABUNDANCE

Thanks Pj for your kindness. The amazing thing is that he watched his older two brothers do exactly the same thing and they came back after only 6 months but addicted to drugs and alcohol which they both are still battling now, all because their father 'allowed' them to so what they wanted and he aided them in that way.

I just can't imagine him ending up the same way, although he is rebellious at the best of times.

Blessings sweety, and I responded to Sf's email on your behalf, ty LYS

Oh it sure is nice to know that you are not alone! I found it harder than I would have believed as my kids were brought up knowing the Lord, and I had this naive belief that this kinda thing doesn't happen to believers! How wrong was I? Have to chnage my glasses I think, they are too rose coloured.

Just the same, I love him and pray that God's word will not previal - Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he won't depart from it. Pr 22:6

Blessings Bill to you and all the family
