Hurt

I hurt for a few kids in particular.

M... His dad is deployed. Mom doesn't know how to be a mom. Sis spends as little time at the house as possible. He sleeps in class, when he makes it at all. No motivation. Hates school. He loves his dogs, his computer, and his skateboard. Gets along with dad, not so much with mom.

How do I love on a kid who seems completely inaccessible? How do I speak love into the life of a kid who thinks of me as that weird bald guy who hangs out at school?

Pray for M- for protection in his life, for motivation, for emotional and physical safety.

L... He's fighting against God. He knows in his head, but isn't ready to surrender his heart. I can't convince him that life following Jesus is the only life that's worth living. I can only show him, I guess.

Pray for L- for wise choices, an open relationship with parents and his surrender to Christ.
