I was writing to a cyber friend tonight about parenting children with trauma backgrounds and the thought came to mind... TRUST comes before true OBEDIENCE....
I was thinking about the hymn "Trust and Obey". We TRUST the Lord before we OBEY Him.
For our children, they have had to learn to trust us, before they were willing to truly obey us.
We must Work on building TRUST! Obedience is the fruit of trust. :) And both are the result of LOVE!

Yeah, you hit on it...my hubby says too "they need to heal first" and that would come under the 'trust' heading.
I just can not imagine who was able to hit a little girl like her.:(((((
Too sad! I'm leaving now.
