I work for a nonprofit ranch in Newberg, OR. And deal alot with kids that are in the foster system. I know how hard it can be at times, but when they come to the ranch and feel connected to one of gods amazing creattions (horses), the power that it has over them is amazing. I have seen some incredible transformations in these kids. They come to us not feeling like they fit anywhere in the world at all and just after a few short sessions with a horse and a staff member that provides them unconditional love they just beam. Keep up the good work all. If you want more information on this ranch it is called Haven of Hope Ranch

Thanks Julia for saying so clearly what we all go through. We’ve been having this very kind of storm right now in our home. I’m claiming 1 Corinthians 10:13 and clinging to the promise that He will provide a way out!

I can identify with wondering if this is not possible, or over my abilities. After about a month of extreme behaviors from my middle son, I was in a real downer, wondering what on earth I had gotten myself into, and seriously doubting that I would be able to do whatever would work. A friend told me that I sure must have a halo to parent such a difficult child. I felt like a complete rat. At that moment I didn’t like him and dearly wished I could bring myself to do something to end the unending mess. Yes, we do get help, it would just be nice if we could know ahead of time that it is comming. John

Excellent!
This is just what I needed to hear after one of the worst weekends here on record.
Thanks
