Never Ever Ever Give up!!!!!

So, This year in November ( which is sneaking up on us rather quickly) it will have been ten years since 5 sisters who were good friends of mine were taken by CPS to foster care.
It was a messed up deal in a small town with crooked cops and terrible CPS case workers.
They were not abused, poor yes but not starved or abused or neglected ever!

So anyways 18 months aftet they were taken away the mother had her rights taken from her by the state and her girls were adopted out .
She went to court several times to fight to get her girls back.
She went all the way to the supreme court of Nebraska.
She wrote letters to everyone imaginable begging to have her girls back.
She had previously lost her oldest son and now had lost her 5 girls for no reason at all.

So, she has continued to fight and fight and write and write and pray and pray!

Outwardly it would appear that she had resigned to waiting until they each turned 18 and then tried to contact them.
Inside she was still fighting and looking for them.
Her oldest daughter Joshua turned 18 two years ago and for whatever reason refuses to communicate with her mother
The second daughter Glorianna, turned 18 last year and her mother has not been able to find her to talk to her.
I have been praying atleast once a day for over 9 years that the girls would come home we prayed before every court hearing and prayed and prayed


9 1/2 years later........
She found Glorie and in a case of I thought you never wanted to talk to me, Well I thought you never wanted to talk to me.......

She came HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
She moved in with her mom and step-dad and 6 new siblings.

PRAY PRAY PRAY
for this new relationship with mother and daughter
PRAY PRAY PRAY
that everything will work out
I know that many of you have prayed for a child,


I know you know the heart of this mother who wants so much to have her girls back

I know that all of my prayers and all of the prayers that have gone up for these girls and their mother have been heard and answered !
It matters that you pray!

Smiling, smiling,smiling

I know it must be difficult for this family, but it's so encouraging to know that God does answer prayers..even if it takes years. Lifted them up, and you too!
