Getting it all together

Ok I need to get back on thoughts and think. It really helps me. I have been checking in on everybody but I just couldn't think of any one thing to write,
Today I'm thinking that is exactly why I need to write it down, to start to get it all together in my head to be able to move forward.

I am moving forward with Stir the Soul, it's just a big scary project that I know nothing about other then I am going to figure it all out. I am open. I know it's not going to be easy, I know I will hit road blocks, nothing is ever easy, but I am ready.

I have Trevor in place. I was able to get him out of Jail on the 8th of Feb and on the 13th he went into Teen Challenge, a year long in residenceĀ drug and alcohol program. I don't know how he is doing because we have no contact for the first 21 days.

Teen Challenge is what I am looking into to model my center around. I am going to be in contact with one of the head peeps in the program to help me make a decision if that may be where I will go with my center.
I had to get Trevor in place first, he was the main focus for the last month. I was working on getting him somewhere to get help instead of in the Jail where there is NOTHING positive going on in there. If only they really had a way to help the people in jail, maybe they could come out of jail and be better then when they got there BUTĀ  that is a whole story within itself.

I asked Trevor when he was in maximum security for the violent offenders if he told anyone why he was in with the violent offenders and he said "No Way" It would be best for these people in here to think I killed a cop, if they knew I bit a nurse when they were putting a catheter in me they would kill me, it made him look tough being in there and he wanted people to think he was tuff. It's a matter of survival in jail. It didn't help much that he is a young looking 19 year old, his hair had grown out which made him look even younger. The first time the atty. saw him she came back and told me "yeah we need to get him out of there fast, he sure doesn't fit the profile.

I am waiting to visit Trevor and then we are heading to Tenn. to get the ball rolling. Like I said I did not choose this path, it has chosen me. I never in a million years would have thought this is what I would be called to do. It's like a voice in my head that will not go away. I can not quite the voice. Lord knows I have tried. Better be careful what you wish for. I was so distraught over the craziness in the last year that I felt completely out of control and I handed it over to God and said this is way bigger then me GOD PLEASE TAKE THE WHEEL and I allowed him to do so.

I didn't even remember until I was reading over my blog that I got the ahhhh haaaa to trust the process and I am trusting the process. I am open to receiving.

Bless Your Heart T.J. I was thinking of you the other day, as I was sitting in the doctor's office. I started a poem for you and your son. I don't know why you came into my thoughts, but somehow, I feel a deep connection to you. I love your son, and can't imagine what kind of hell that beautiful by has gone through in his short young life. I prayed for you both in church service on Sunday, and will continue the prayers. I've been hoping you would post an update, because, I've been concerned for you. You will succeed at this...I feel it. Your Trevor will come out of that treatment center with a new look on life, and a new love for you. I luv you my dear, and I AM IN YOUR CORNER!!!!

Keepdreaming I would love to have a poem written for us, I have never had anyone do that before.
It is so sweet that you were thinking about us. I really do think alot about my friends from thoughts. Even when I dont have time to write I still just feel the need to at least check in on my friends. When you know someone from the inside before the outside it seems to be a much deeper connection.
I have felt a connection too. Difficultsoul is also connected to my soul in a very strong way.
HHHHHMMMMMM
Thank you for the prayers, we could use them.
Trevor is a sweet boy and you are right he has been thru hell. The lucky part of it all is that he wants help and he is still so young. I really feel sorry for the people that are older and have gone thru this most their lives. Some people dont have the support they need to come thru this on the other side. I guess thats why I am going to open a center because people need to know they are worth the time and that people do love them.

DS thanks for stopping by!
It seems alot of people have heard of Teen Challenge, it has unbelievable success rates. I checked out many many programs and this one came to me in a most unusual way, I think I will write a blog about it.
I did not go thru all this pain for no reason, that I know. I want to be able to help others and how would I know what this pain was all about if I have not had to go thru it myself?
Peace my friend!

Trevorjohn, I have literally seen miracles happen!! I have seen hopeless situations, turn into the most unbelievable blessings through prayer. I'm not a big religious freak, but I do believe strongly in prayers!! If you erase all negativity, and have faith nothing but good will come from this, you will feel the power behind any pain, and you will see a miracle happen right in front of you. Great things lie ahead for Trevor. He will appreciate every day of his life and make the very best of it!! You wait and see!
God Bless!

Just stopped by to read your latest post. I also have been thinking and praying for you and Trevor. I'm so glad he is out of jail and into a program where he can get the help and support he needs. I'm asking God to bless and guide you through this time of change and challenge. Peace.

You cannot counsel someone about something you know nothing about.
That is how I look at all of my pain.
Good attitude.
You shine.

TJ, I stopped by to read your post again tonight. I feel so happy that Trevor is in such a good place right now getting the best care and help he can get. But the sick feeling you must of felt to hear him tell you he had to act so tuff in jail because he feared for his life otherwise, OH, that would have tore my heart out. I sometimes watch my son, and think I'd want to beat the crap out of someone who would pick a fight with him...but he always gets so embarrassed if I make even the slightest notion that I don't think he could handle himself. I'm just feeling emotional tonight, so my feelings are very "mommy oriented". I wish I could give you a hug and some give you some serenity. What is your mission is Tenn? Is that where your center will be? I can't wait to hear about all your progress. I can't wait to hear how your visit went with your son.
God Bless You!!! You have my prayers!!!
