Nest is Emptying

It was the afternoon of Father's Day when Eric came home and decided to move out.  He packed up a number of things and left in a rush.  The next day he was back moving his bed out and various other items that Brandon and I had packed up for him.  For those of us left at home it was heartbreaking.

A number of things have been going down the past few months and not all of it good.  It all started with the addition of a new girlfriend.  Relations became increasingly strained and it seemed as if Eric was slipping into a black hole.  We all tried to pull him out, but the black hole won.  He is now living with his girlfriend (of 2 months) in her parents home.  I've heard from him via text messaging, but our communication is very limited.

Friends and family are questioning Eric's behavior as he doesn't seem like his usual self.  Since he is 18 there is not much we can do.  But we can pray.  If you feel led to pray, it would be much appreciated.

I'd be glad to pray for you and your family. I have missed your posts.

Praying for your boys! That is tough. The older mine get, the more I see that we just need to pray and release them to the Lord. No matter what we've taught them, it really does slip out of our hands at some point. I love the women God has brought into your life to be an encouragement to! You *are* an encourager, and I hope you will be blessed as well, friend :)
