"You are remembering things pretty well. Our first trip to North Point Community Chuch I believe was Easter - the end of your 7th grade year. I think you started in Xtreme (Middle School environment at church) shortly after that. I remember wanting to go to the early service but you were already involved in the 10:30 - now 11:00 service - with your small group and we didn't want to move you. I think I'm seeing some stuff I really didn't know about - but suspected and didn't really want to think about now that it is over. The alchol drinking out of our supply was obviously going on way before we knew about it. There are a couple times where the RED flag should have been thrown up - and we didn't investigate those flags. I do know that your Mom's decision to let you live with your father was a huge deal and was probably one of the hardest things she ever did. That decision probably saved your life and maybe even your Dad and my life as well. That Easter - in the North Point bulletin was a preview of the next sermon series. Parent Guidance Required. We new we needed all the help we could get with and Kelly - we decided to "try" it for those 4 weeks. It stuck! All God's timing."

Thanks Leigh Anne for the "clarification"! Indeed that decision to let Brett go was the biggest most difficult decision EVER. I felt God's peace through the whole process of praying and making that decision. It has since remained with me as a reminder of what God's peace feels like and has helped me make many other decisions in my life. I did not understand the peace at the time. Why would God want me to let my son leave me? But, I tried to be faithful and let him go, knowing that God was in control. God is good and while I waited patiently to understand my decision He worked miracles in your home and my son has come to know a GREAT GOD along with his "parents"!
