We can evangelize or socialize. It all depends on whether you are saved or not.

2 Sides to every family...

I lost custody of my son a few years ago because my husband decided to get rid of me to move another woman in... I had no place to go and had to do what was best for my son. I get him some weekends, some extra time in summer, some Christmas break time too. He's 8, and I miss him so much it just kills me inside. He has my husband's family, and me and my husband on one side, and his dad and his wife and family on the other side. I'm concerned for him. He is hyper-sensitive, which is a good thing only because he senses other people's burdens and wants to help. It's a bad thing because he cries a lot because of that. I try to instill in him morals and values, and give him the Christian upbringing he needs so desperately. He's sort of being tugged in the other direction with his real dad. Good news is that at only 8 years old, he loves Jesus so much, and was saved on August 9th of 2010, this year. I've been telling him about Jesus death and resurrection for a few years, and he loves Bible stories, but to him they are more than stories (thank GOD that's how we should all be).

I am concerned about his mental and emotional health though, with all the tears, and all the pain his little heart feels because of not only separation from me, but that he doesn't understand what has happened (divorce) because of how young he was when it did happen. Both my new husband and I (I say new, we've been married almost 5 years now), we just want the best for Wyatt. I don't know how to fight this... I've prayed and prayed.... I just do what I can to help him grow in faith. I haven't always been the best parent, but he loves me so unconditionally, and I want to show him that there's more to life than hurt, that Jesus can fix it... but the words to explain that to his innocent little heart won't come. What it boils down to is him being tugged in two different directions and thinking he has to choose... Please someone help me, pray for me.... I'm tortured by this daily, and through much prayer manage to make it, but I'm struggling so much now.

Thank you.

Hi Keli, I lost custody of my son Zack when he was 4 yrs old. I know first hand how painful this can be for both you and your son. Im praying for you both. Remember that God will not give you more than you can handle and he's with you every step of the way. Also keep in mind that Satan attacks those who are close to the Lord,but greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world and if God is for you than who can be aginst you. keep your eyes on the Lord stay in his word even when its hard and you and your son will be ok.God bless you I'll keep praying.
