How do you tell someone who is only 18,that they are being stupid? That they are blind,that they are trading possibly the greatest thing that might ever happen to them for a drink and a good time?That their new "FRIENDS" that are leading them away from a really good and solid future life,are not their friends at all but are just pawns in a life of choices?How do you tell someone you have come to LOVE dearly and could see them clearly in your future as part of the family,that they have made you angry,that they are breaking your heart and the hearts of the ones closest to you?How do you say to someone who is young and impulsive,to stop being such a FOOL!!!!!! and bring your heart back home to us where it belongs? I know your humanly stuck where you are for a good reason but we need you to direct your heart and attentions back home where you belong!!!
How do you tell someone that you still love them and you will wait patiently for them to come around,change their minds,see the light......Well I guess I dont need to know how.......I just did.
"T",I hope you read this someday soon,and I hope its not too late when you do.We do NOT hate you,we LOVE you and we want you back.

Hey. This may not be much coming from one of those 18 year old teenagers, but I'm hearing you. Loud and Clear actually. I'm not sure who, or what has happened but God has a plan. And at 18, some people have there own ways of doing things. I'm sure things wll turn around for the better. Deep Breath. We do throw tantrums and act out still. I think everyone does.
Thankyou avalonia,you have NO idea how much your comment has helped me.and thanx for the quick response,its been a pretty emotional 9 hours.and the deep breath really helped too.We know that God has a plan,but I also know that God equipped us with a free will,and so it is in the waiting that we are the most un-comfortable right now.
It's the uncertainty that kills us with all that stress. Sometimes we just have to take a step back and let things play out. :)
Well, I'm younger than 18, but you just have to slap them back to reality.
I know how you feel though, best luck with your teenager.
Having two teens, I can feel your pain. I always think of "The Prodigal Son". I would say...Pray, Pray, Pray. ONly the Lord can change their hearts. I've seen HIM Do amazing things with my own teens and with others. With God...all things are possible!!
Pray for those being hurt and something that always helps to keep my humble and full of love..."Hurt People, hurt people.".
I pray for the Lords Peace to fill you and for His Wisdom.
In Christ,
Laura
I feel so awful right now because this post came out two days ago when you needed some comments pretty much right away. Now, here I am feeling late...which means pretty much useless. I don't know exactly what happened or what may have happened since your posting, so it is difficult for me to know what is appropriate to write here. I just know that I was 18 once and so were my friends, and I felt we were right, we knew what we were doing, we were old enough not to have to be talked to and told like we were kids, adults didn't understand, and if we were old enough to fight in a war then how dare anybody tell us that they love us but things are too dangerous. It is dangerous, what can happen is very real, and no one but the parents know and understand the worries and fears they go through when their kids "take off and do what they want to do". Even though you and I both know that most come back, turn out ok, and will warn their own kids about all of this some day, we also know that some don't make out so well...and that is what tears up the insides most. God, good sense (that manages to overpower because of a good upbringing), hopefully other parents (of those friends) being like you in this situation, and the love you have that is really with her although she just doesn't see it right now, will hopefully guide her through all of this and back home....really home. Consider talking to the leader of your church, not only for some helpful advice and understanding, but for some spiritual guidance and help right now. I sure pray all is ok and that this is a chapter that closes quickly, easily, and with a happy ending.
I don't know what to say...and I've been in your shoes so many times I can't even count! I don't know the details of what's going on, but I am very familiar with the frustration and the helplessness that you are feeling. And though God has not finished his work in bringing my own troubled children around, I still consider him to be the most significant source for strength, wisdom, grace, and hope. So I agree with Laura...pray, pray, pray.
