Hi Kyle, I'm a mother of a 17 yr old - struggling Christian. I've been looking for chat rooms, forums, anything where I might find some advice. Perhaps you can help. We are from Evansville Indiana. Sarah knows her scripture. She was baptised when she was seven. She's attended a Christian school all of her life. Yet, the past few years I see satan is actively trying to pull her from me. I have to bribe or blackmail her to go to church. That is my big question of the night. Am I doing more harm that good? She says she doesn't fit in with anyone there, spiritually or intellectually. Sarah is different. She is a musician, an artist, and likes to do things her way - different if possible. She's charasmatic, charming, witty, and quite rebellious. I just can't lose her to satan. But I think it's out of my hands. I think I need to let God have her. She needs a good Christian friend. Would I be imposing if I asked you to contact her somehow? She's not online here at all. I told her about this website and actually signed up myself hoping she would get interested. She wasn't. I don't really know how I would get you to contact her anyway. But I sure could use some advise. I'm attaching her pic - just because Desperate mom [img]http://www.mypraize.com/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/images/MVC_028S.JPG[/img]
