Dream of a Young Girl

I was speaking with a parent recently about her daughter. For the sake of their privacy I will give them names. Mom is Mary and daughter is Katie. Well Mary has been sick for over 19 years and Katie is the oldest child. She has been taking care of her mother for several years and with her low-self esteem, failing grades, and still having to take care of mom she's just not feeling like trying any more. Katie, 17 yrs old, decides she will leave and do as she pleases on her own. She does just that but to her surprise it is not what she expects.

Katie leaves her home and starts smoking marijuana, having multiple sex partners mostly with older men, drinking and so forth thinking this will help her self view. My heart always goes out to young women, especially those that don't think much of themselves because it leads to a road of destruction. A few nights after speaking with the parent about this situation I had a dream. This young girls spirit was crying out to come back home. She is not enjoying what she is doing and she keeps doing more and more. She is drifting further and further away from the peaceful shore and isn't sure if she can get back. She wants to come back home but is uncertain if her mother will receive her again because of all that she has done.

I have been in search of the mother and the daughter in hopes that I can relay the message to the the mom in time enough. The mom needs to know that her daughter's outward appearances and attitude is not how she really feels. Her actions are the complete opposite of what her spirit is crying for. She may be doing adult activities but the little girl inside of her still wants her mommy.

Why do I post this blog?  God cares about Katie so much, he gave me the insight as to how she is really feeling despite her actions. He gave me the dream to help reconcile her and her mother.You may know of a parent who has had a runaway or is having difficulty with their teenager. Encourage that parent to take their child back with open arms, because inwardly that child is unhappy with themselves. Look past the things they are doing to try to prove they are grown. I know it can be hard to do, but try looking at the child through the eyes of God.
