Princess was supposed to get out this past week, but alas she did not. I don't know all the reasons why because my only source for information is her mom- who never knows much of anything. I'm not sure if she has much contact with case workers and such or questions the system, her progress... Not to sound harsh, but I think she is comfortable with princess in the system, because then she is not held responsible at all for her. Mom seems to just get info from princess and princess' information is always spotty at best. I can't blame mom in any way. I think she was very poorly equipped for raising children, not having been raised very well herself and is kind of slow about things. It's a delicate balance. All three of her children (Princess included) knows that she is smarter than her mom and has abused that advantage in many ways and in a way laughed behind her back about it, but of course would be horrified and stand up to anyone who would suggest their mom is slow.
When I got back to the Fair Mother city, Jessie joined me on a short walk and I asked about her and her boyfriend. She said they were looking to buy a house. A week and a half later, she and her friend came with Frieda to Agent B's birthday party and I asked how the house looking was going. She informed me that they broke up again, that she moved back in with her mom (her friend came too). She said the reason was that her boyfriend took off for 3 days and nights and didn't even tell her where or anything. This is the pattern. This is the same reason every time that she breaks up with him. She's been keeping a couple of boys in the day and so have I (3 days a week), so we don't get to see each other as much as we used to. She doesn't hang out as much when she has a friend staying with her too. I'm not even sure how all to pray for her- it all just seems so depressing to me, but I know that the Lover would have so much more for her, instead of all the zig zag and boredom. I can see where our riches have really stolen a lot of life from us: in North America, it seems like people are either over busy or bored. A lot of people receiving disability or government checks tell me how bored they are. Lover- light her fire for you and may she discover the gifts, the abilities, the dreams you've placed in her heart. May Jessie, her friend and Princess become radiant in wholeness in you, find joy, meaning and life in you. Awaken their imaginations to what their lives could be.

It IS hard and it IS depressing but as you said, God sees so much more in these people than you or I ever could.
Thank you for the reminder.
