MELISSA,  I AM WELL FAMILIAR WITH TEEN CHALLENGE, MY SON WENT THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND I HAVE SENT MANY THERE MYSELF. I DO KNOW IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE. THERE ARE EXCELLENT PROGRAMS OUT THERE THAT DON'T COST ANYTHING. USUALLY THE GIRLS CAN'T STAY QUITE AS LONG BUT IF IT IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, YOU DON'T NEED TO STALL WITH HER BECAUSE OF MONEY. GOD COULD VERY WELL PROVIDE THE MONEY AND THAT WILL BE AWESOME IF HE DOES BUT HE MAY ALSO BE DIRECTING YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE. REMEMBER HE CARES FOR YOUR DAUGHTER MORE THAN YOU DO AND KNOWS THE SITUATION BETTER THAN YOU REALLY CARE TO. HE KNOWS THE BEST PLACE FOR HER. ASK YOUR COUNSELOR FOR OTHER OPTIONS. IF YOU ARE NOT GOING THERE ANYMORE, THERE ARE CERTIFIED CHRISTIAN COUNSELORS, LIKE ME, THAT DO NOT CHARGE. YOU CAN FIND THEM THROUGH LOCAL CHURCHES AND THESE COUNSELORS SHOULD HAVE OTHER OPTIONS FOR YOU SHOULD YOU DECIDE TEEN CHALLENGE MAY TAKE A WHILE. YOU COULD AT LEAST GET HER SOMEWHERE WHILE YOU ARE WORKING THINGS OUT WITH THEM. I'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU. SHE'LL MAKE IT BECAUSE SHE HAS A MOTHER WHO REALLY CARES.  BLESSINGS, SUNNY34
