Dear Doves,
 
I need prayer for my children.  Just last week, I prayed in Wednesday night prayer meeting in church for my children and the persecution they face daily.  I can handle being persecuted (for the most part), but I feel for their tender hearts.  It seems as if the devil heard my despairing cry and launched an attack.
 
The very next day, my son and I were waiting as my daughters took their dance classes, and my 9 year old son brought his PSP.  Apparently it has internet access - my children are not allowed on the internet at home unless to play a game I load and under strict supervision.  Well, this boy who is a couple of years older than my son loaded pornography on my son's game system, and I discovered this from one of my son's friends who my son showed it to.  I am HORRIFIED!!!  I am trying not to overreact, but I am devastated that my son's innocence has been abruptly ended.  I am also shocked that my son didn't come to me, but I think he was trying to look cool in front of this older boy. I know for a fact that he knew nothing about any of this prior to this time, because he and my youngest daughter have been praying for me to get pregnant - not something my husband is in agreement to - and telling me that G-d will handle it, and Daddy doesn't have anything to do with it, so he doesn't have to know.   
 
Then just today, I discovered my 13 year old daughter did not get the job she trained for as an assistant dance teacher at our dance school (her 10th year there.)  I would not allow her to work on Wednesday evenings because of church, and I now found out she was not chosen.  The odd thing is the younger children flock to her.  She has such a gift with kids.  She is actually going to open her own studio when she graduates.  She will be devastated when I tell her.  She said she was warned during training that she might not be chosen if she didn't sacrifice her Wednesday nights.  I can only hope G-d understands and appreciates our difficult decision.  
 
Please pray.  It continues to feel heavier and heavier as we make decisions against the grain of the world - homeschooling (our 9th year), our value of church attendance, the way we shelter our children (which comes under much scrutiny by those around us), etc.
 
Thanks for your prayers in advance.
 
Our Father's daughter,
