Just an Update...

So I am still at the Juvenile center and I am still loving my job even through the rough days. Everyday is different and when you go to work you are never sure what you may be walking into. It's my job and I do get paid and I have to go but I do care about the kids there and I find myself praying for them when I leave or in my head when I am there. There are times it can get a little scary but I have found that more times its heart wrenching. These are kids and somtimes its easy to forget because they talk like adults or their exterior is as an adults but they are children and most of them wanting to be loved they want to find someone who cares. I beleive that alot of them want to make the right choices but find if hard because of their neighborhood enviroments or their lack of parents. Some have been in and out of foster homes, some good some bad. Lets not forget to pray for those who we dont see. Like our soilders fighting for our country, like those around the world struggling because of poverty, for the children without parents and the parents whose hearts ache because they cannot provide for their children, pray for those who are lost and need to be found and pray for those who are searching for something, anything.... that they may find God and his light to light their path, his shoulder to cry on, his ear to listen!

Little Girl with a Secret

Little girl with a secret,
Tell someone your pain.
Little Girl with a secret,
I know you carry shame.
Little girl with a secret,
your not alone in the game.

Young Lady with the heartache,
The past is just the past.
Young Lady with the heartache,
you cant cover it with a mask.
Young lady with the heartache,
remember whats now at task.

Mother with the daughters,
teach your girls to be wise.
Mother with the daughters,
watch out for the lies.
Mother with the daughters,
watch for the dirty disguise.
Mother with the daughters,
know a predators EYES!

I was a little girl who kept a BIG secret all my life and told knowone , because of the shame and I didnt want to hurt my mother. My secret affexted who I was and what I did. Had I only spoken to someone sooner I may have been a different person and lived a different life. I now want to make sure I keep an open relationship with my daughters because we cannot protect them all the time but we can teach them to be wise!
