Defeated

Today I am... exhausted! I went out for a home visit to see one of my favorite clients. I mean she is really my favorite! She has a 14 year old grandson who lives with her and is smoking pot. Today he ran away. Well because of all of this I had to close their case because his whereabouts were unknown. This really made me sad because ultimately the one who will be hurt the most is the grandma! I have cried with her, laughed with her, and rejoyced with her. She really feels like my close friend. Today when I left her house for the last time she told me that she loved me... This is how I know the Lord is doing a good work through the agency that I work for. Even though I feel defeated by this childs actions, I know the Lord is still using me! What a blessing!
