Sometimes life is very hard. Sometimes it's hard to understand why things happen the way they do. When things are really tough, it's even hard to see how God could be in control. I know that God being in control isn't based on my feelings.
Being a mother has to be the thing that brings the most joy in my life. But sometimes it brings hurt and disappointment. It's hard for me, as a mother, to watch my child go down the same destructive path that I went down at his age. Last night was a horrible night. I was afraid. I had to take my son to the ER for this destructive path he's heading down. As I look back on last night, I can see God in it. God has his hands on my family. He has his hands on Matthew. How do I know this? God allowed me to find vital info. on matthew's myspace. God allowed Matthew to have a breakdown last night and get him to the hospital. God has given me the strength so far to deal with this hard situation. When I am weak, God is strong. I'm counting on this over the days to come. This is my hope.
God is good. I have tasted the Lord's goodness. He's still good in tough circumstances. I will believe God to see us through this trial. I look forward to what God has for Matthew and for me.
Please pray for us.

Nothing is harder than to see our children suffer. I also have a son Matthew, I will remember you and your son in my prayers.
