heyLord,

you put someone into my life and i don't know him terribly well.
but you know him, and he knows you.
anyway, i know he means a lot to you.
you're allowing so many terrible things to happen to him.
he's only 19 and he's putting up with a life i don't think i could cope with.
with every obstacle, he's only getting stronger and stronger.
anyway, i just wanted to semi publicly put this out there.
because i think it's awesome.
i see this life that you're paving for him.
he's going to go somewhere big because of you.
you have his life planned out, and he's going to be someone.
and i see this.
and i'm constantly amazed by it.
it seems like everyday, there's something else.
and it makes me sad inside.
but then you show me how strong he is.
and how he gets through things.
and lord, only you're capable of a strength like that.
a love like that.
i know he's hurt right now, physically.
but i believe that you're the father of healing.
and that you're going to heal him.
and that you will find a place for his brother to be.
because where he is now- is not okay.
and you will find a safe place for his sister.
because right now, she's clearly not safe.
and i know that you both want that for her.
she deserves to be safe.
i put my faith in all of this.
because i know you.
and i know that what you do is good.
in your name,
amen.
