Please continue to pray for her.


She lives in debt and continues to pile it on.
I've given her over a thousand dollars and my parents tens more.
She steals money from my parents and I and thinks we do not know. She tells her five year old son not to tell us that she's taking it but she does.

She tells him not to tell us a lot of things and he tells us everything. He is learning how to lie from her and it is showing in his behavior. Her son, who is five years old is doing counseling once a week because he acts out I. School. She thinks that it is all his (the five year olds) fault that he acts out. It is purely her problem.

Only God can fix her heart.
Please pray for her!

Thank you!

Oh Jesus ... Lord only you can fix it. Will be praying bro

Will be praying man.

I got ya back man. Praying for her.

You should practice some tough love like making the funds inaccessible. Yes only God can change the heart - but we need to do our part and plant the seeds and take action. This community can offer prayers and we will do our part - but for you please do your part and try addressing her and telling her that you will not be able to provide for her if she continues to abuse it.

Quotes from CS Lewis's A Grief Observed:

Of course the cat will growl and spit at the surgeon and bite him if she can (40).

The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we can believe that there is any use in begging for tenderness (43).

If [the surgeon] yielded to your entreaties, if he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that point would have been useless (43).

What do people mean when they say, ‘I am not afraid of God because I know He is good’? Have they never even been to a dentist? (43).
