A couple of weeks ago, I got to play in an impromptu game of volleyball with Jessie and Elizabeth. It was a good opportunity to find out how the girls were and what is going on in their lives. They have been living next door again. I usually start off with asking Jessie if she and her boyfriend are still seeing each other. At the time of the volleyball game she was vehement about never going with him again- that he is just a player, cheating on her all the time, that he is a control freak, wanting her to stay at home even while he goes out partying and she confessed that she doesn't even know how old he is, that some relative of his told her that he is only 14 or some insanely young age. He's here illegally and has some bogus ID, so she really doesn't know how old he is. I kept asking her if she thinks he could really be that young. He does have some facial hair, but it's real scruffy and he does look young. At the time, he was going out with some older woman who had kids.
Now, he's back over again and Jessie is again the human pinball. I don't know how to talk to her about it. When they are split up, she admits that he's a creap, a jerk and no good for her, but the split ups never last long and then they are moving in together again. He was around when we had Easter dinner at our place, so we told him to come eat. Jessie seemed embarrassed by his demonstrations of affection. I'm scared for her. She is such a follower and is so hungry for love and acceptance, but looking in all the wrong places.
God help her- please. Open her eyes and may she see that there is true love, respect and hope through the love that never fails in YOU.

Sometimes I wish I were there and together, we could speak Truth into these girls lives. Give them a goal to strive for. Something to accomplish. Something to call their own and be proud of.
