He has to flee.
He is satan. When God's people pray, He flees.
As I got ready to hit the publish button on my last post, I hesitated. When this blog first began it was read by people who I had never met. Now....there are many that read it that I know in real life. I did not want to bring further shame to my son, so I hesitated.
Wow, did God show Himself faithful. Within hours of that post going out and the prayers, emails and comments came flooding in....life in the walls of this house changed. David's attitude changed. His heart was softening. We talked and talked and talked. This is going to be one of the best things to ever happen in David's life. Just one more part of the puzzle that will make up an incredible story that he will share one day.
Friday was court day. God's mercy covered my son. God's love made sure that David is going to get the help he needs and not the punishment that would have been much more simple. (in man's eyes) I am sorry to sound vague but just want you to know that your prayers were felt, appreciated and effective.
One day, David will understand that people across the world cared enough about him to take him before God's throne. One day, David will be used mightily and he will have the chance to give back.
Beauty from ashes. Believing it!

- I am a mom to 2 great kids. I am a child of God who is pursuing after Him as I learn to live in my "new normal". Diagnosed with a life altering illness in June of 2007 and the end of my marriage less than a year later, life has taken a new path. One that I am learning to accept and appreciate. As my illness caused me to be basically home bound, my family named the living room couch "my perch". Thus the title of this blog.

The three of you are so loved. And I am so thankful for you, my sweet friend.
Thanks for sharing the tangible ways that the Lord intervenes and privilege that we have to come before Him in prayer.
So thankful! It is so great to hear the result of prayers!
Praise the Lord!! Bless David's heart, this is a difficult time in the life of a young man. So much angst just due to the age in general, but complicated by life situations beyond his control. I have a son walking that same difficult road. A friend has reminded me that the Lord will be faithful to His promise in regards to my son and for now, "Just remember he's just working on his testimony. :) " God is so good.
So glad to hear the report....praying always...love you

Love ya friend...and I'm SO blessed..to know we serve a SAvior...who...knows best.
Praying for you and your sweet...sweet...family. :-)
Reminds me as I read this, of another David. A David who failed miserably and yet that God used mightily. God is in that business...what a loving and merciful God we serve.
One day we'll have a much clearer sense of just how powerful are a mother's prayers!
May each of our sons & daughters find their true and only home in Him.
Blessings,
Kathleen
So happy for this news. I can't help but think of David in the Bible... what a man of God he became. May the same be true for your David.
Blessings!
