Re: Not Bad For OP Huh?

She was staying in a bug infested, rat hole downtown & she needed to move out.
I started looking at vacancies & realized that she didn't have enough from her welfare rates to afford anything, I got down on my knees & wept & talked to the Lord saying "I can't help her--I feel inadequate"
Well, God opened a door at a women's shelter that was newly renovated & "clean!"
God is good!
She called my wife "mom" & me "dad" which i didn't mind.
I & my pastor went to the probation office to try and advocate on her behalf & she was cussing & swearing up a storm. She reminded us of a 6 year old with a temper & foul mouth. Such is the deal with those with Fetal Alcohol syndrome.
My Pastor got in touch with a private clinic in BC that treats this sydrome.
He talked to the President & they knew her & were surprised that we were attempting to work with her. In fact she said, "are you burnt out yet?"
"Nobody wants to deal with people like this.
Insert broken heart here.
In early fall she started going down hil with somebody on the street getting her hooked on Crack. I am sure she was hookiung to get the fix.
She came to a Bible study & was very disruptive, calling us liars & Pastor tried talking to her to please settle down as that was innapproprate behaviour" she swore at him & at his wife & at my wife.
She has never came back & people that have seen her on the street say she is in a bad way.
We still pray for her & miss her & want to help her.

I am just mystified when people say that OP's are hard uncaring, no compassion.
If they only knew.
Ron, I dont do this normally, and HAVE NEVER done it online before but I feel the Lord speaking to me about this situation. I feel that in your prayers, you need to pray against a "generational curse" that has been on her since birth and also, somewhere in the foster system she came into contact with another curse that is operating against her. When you pray just mention those things to the Lord and ask Him to either reveal the exact cause to you or to someone close to her so that the line can be broken!
