My husband attended the TC in portland for 3 months. His mother bought him a bus ticket to leave the program. As a child his mother medicated him so she could have her addiction with out him and his sister being in the way. He has been in and out of foster homes lived on the streets most of his life. We met in addiction but we both had a time we got sobber and started a life together. His family has always supported his addiction and they have gotten him back into it full fledge. He has been an IV drug user for more then 17 yrs. He got clean for almost 4yrs but then he got in contact with them now he is back. His mother insist he is only happy on the streets with the needle and supports it all the way. All of this leaves me a single mom of 5 boys who I pray the lord will help me save. I dont believe I am suppose to give up on him. Please help me to pray for the lord to help us. He recently got pulled over and had meth and needles but the officer let him go but told him he would give him the chance to go to treatment with out it being court ordered but my husband did not show for the bed date. I no the lord could use this for his good he has been in and out of court ordered treatment programs none have helped. Non of this is out of the Lords controll though. I have struggled with staying sober now and walked away from the lord to a degree. I no I can not get through this with out the lord so am trying to turn back. My children pray for him all the time so do I. Please join with us. Thank you

Yesterday my husband spoke with the intake at Spokane. He agreed to go into the program as long as I promised to stay by him. At this time they are holding a bed for him in the Shedd Or location. I am trying to keep my hopes up and believe that the Lord will see it through. I'm sad to say that this has tested my faith and it feels as if it is small. I keep repeating the verse of the mustard seed and asking the Lord to show me he is on the path ahead of us and that my children and I are not alone. Thank you to all that will agree with me.

Last night I put my husband got on the bus and arrived at teen challenge in Spokane Wa. My boys were both taken back but also over joyed. Last night after I had fallen asleep my 4 yr old woke me up with his little inocent voice asking me to pray for his daddy. I continue to tell my children our only hope is to continue to believe.
Thank you

I pray that the Lord shows you that He is holding on to you and your boys and that He will give you the strength to run the race and keep the faith and continue to lead your sons to Jesus, every day. I believe that He will. My sister has raised three children with the Lord's help. You are not alone. God is your partner and a father to your boys. He loves you all. God bless and keep you.

Whatever you do, keep your children in church. Pray with them and teach them about God. I did not always do that. IT IS MY GREATEST REGRET IN LIFE. I will pray for you too.
