It's the Morning

A while I ago I questioned God on where the hope in the morning was going to come from, when it was going to come, and when was my morning going to finally arrive. I can say happily and joyfully that over the hard time I had gone through I finally have reached that morning.

Recently my husband and I have been blessed with temparary guardianship of my teenage sister, not because she's bad, not because my parents can't handle her, but because she was getting put down day in and day out by the school she was in and because of the high volume of students the teachers weren't able to offer her the personalized education that she needed, and being amazing selfless parents that she has they offered her a new hope, a new beginning, and her being the butterfly finding her wings that she is she grasped it and clutched it tight with her hands. She at such a young age moved out of state to her sister and brother in laws house to be a part of a family she never quite was involved with and start a new. Most kids you would think would cry alot, or be angry, or play the self pitty cards that have been dealt but not her, she made them her muscle and she used them to get stronger and better.

While all of this was going on my husband and I had been getting ready to become foster parents, we had a teenager a while back but things didn't end very well and we had unhealed wounds from it, over time God healed those wounds but they still left some scarring. Right when we had finished our foster care classes, we received a call one afternoon it was my dad asking if we would be willing to take in my sister, and of course we couldn't object.

Through all of this we learned that though we go through storms, God makes those storms into a rainbow, He turns what was meant to harm us or hurt us into something that strenghtens us and gives us a purpose. I hate to be cliche but it really is true he takes the test and makes it a testimony. Now we have a lovely 14 year old who loves the adventures that God has placed before her and is taking each opportunity to the fullest capacity.

Please keep us in prayer as we continue on this journey that God has blessed us with and for our sweet little family addition even if it is temporary :)
