Tomorrow my son will go into residential therapy for a few days of intensive work. We are praying that this will help him to get "unstuck" and begin to allow us to love him. We were blessed with him through adoption, and he has really struggled with bonding, so I am asking for prayers that his heart will be opened and he can begin to trust us and our love. I am scared and so sad at the thought of leaving him there when we leave. Maybe a little prayer for this mama, too, huh?

I thank you all so, so much.

Many, many thanks to all who prayed with us as our son went throught this trial. He is home tonight after really giving it his all and working through some very tough stuff. Several times tonight I have been in tears just watching him and the amazing chnages we see. Praise be to GOd for His tender mercies!
