How do you know when it is time to bring in a new member of the family? I am not talking about a pet, an in-law, or a friend of the boys. I am talking about the need to bring into your family a 16 year old girl that has very few choices in life. It is a sad situation, but at least she feels she has a home here when she needs it.
Can you believe a 16 year old needing a home when her parents won't be parents to her, when she doesn't feel safe at her grandmothers home and when she has no one else to take her in.
My son and I want to scream at her to let us take care of her, but she won't hear our calm and loving voices. I am so brokenhearted by this situation and I don't know what to do other than be an open door for her.
She is a new member of our family, only thing is, she hasn't realized it yet.

Understanding Life
My son has a friend who is going through a difficult time. We are trying to be there for her, but she doesn't believe she deserve any help from anyone. I have to wonder how a mother and a father can put a child through what she has been put through. It is a very sad and more than that it is heartbreaking to see how much she is suffering.
She has fears, real fears for real horrible events that have happened to her. She suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms, is all alone and struggling with work, school and her life.
She needs to have some one to love her, protect her, and care for her. But, part of the problem is, she doesn't think she deserve it. She doesn't think she deserves to have someone love her, protect her or care for her.
I don't understand how parents can treat a child in this day and age as they are treating her. I don't understand how parents can do that to their child.
I know it is a shortcoming on my part to not understanding that others are not coming from the same background as I do. I need to ask for some help from God to spend more time praying for help for this family instead of becoming upset by the situation. I need to pray to God for protection of this sweet girl. I need to pray for healing for this family. I need to keep my family willing to help anyone who needs help in any way that we are willing to help them. Do as God asks us to do.
If you are willing, please pray for this sweet young girl and her family. You can call her Rachel, not her real name, but the name means princess. And this young girl is God's own princess.
