While it's no secret to our "real life" friends and church family, I've yet to say it out loud in any public forum. It's hard, so, so hard. And it's never a decision made lightly.

I had a wise lady tell me that moving the child out of the house will either make it clear that it was the correct thing to do, or clear that it wasn't. I found that so true; things radically improved with many children within two weeks to the point that it was a confirmation. I still struggle to explain to someone who has no experience or understanding of RAD, but people have been compassionate. Praying for peace for your family also!<br />Love, JennyJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285850978108377533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581082367733814891.post-2961162220023291732016-10-29T17:58:21.135-04:002016-10-29T17:58:21.135-04:00I'm glad you got to enjoy the time at the conf...I'm glad you got to enjoy the time at the conference and with JD! <br />We do our best, and that's all we can do. You did what God called you to do, He never promised a perfect outcome, but you willingly died to self anyway.<br />We must remember that we have given an abundance of love and opportunity to our kids, what they choose to do with it, is not up to us. Our reward is in the obedience to God, not necessarily how each child turns out.<br />Love you , praying for you!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735151725071211986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581082367733814891.post-88497311048806866772016-10-28T21:42:03.325-04:002016-10-28T21:42:03.325-04:00I'm sorry to hear about Ben.
