Praise!!!!



Jeremiah 29:11 

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

 

God does answer prayers!!!!

 

Our foster daughter, Taylor, came for an extended visit on Thurs.  She helped us with the pasta dinner on Fri and spent the weekend.  Her visit was extended to Tues (today) because she was going to attend a small christian school in our town to see if she would like attending.  We borrowed a uniform from a friend, bought her new shoes and then I prayed......Sun night (after the SuperBowl) she was having a hard time falling asleep, I offered to pray over her but she wasn't quite ready for that so I sent her a prayer via text, praying for God's peace to overcome her and to alleviate her anxiety for her upcoming visit to the school the next day.  Within minutes, she texted me back and said that she was getting tired and isn't it funny how God works.   I wouldn't call it funny, I would call it LOVE. 

 

Mon morning...I brought Taylor to school.  Taylor was pouting a little and mad a comment about how she doesn't like when people tell her what to do.....She doesn't seem pleased with her uniform....or her shoes...I called in reinforcements.....my prayer warriors.....

 

I was a little nervous to see her, wasn't sure of her reaction to her day....SURPRISE...or should it be...she had a great day!!!  She told me that she wants to go to school there..that it was the best first day of school she had ever had and she felt very comfortable.  Praise God...should we be surprised?  NO....we should expect these outcomes!  God is ALWAYS in control of EVERY situation....

 

I am so proud of her and the choices that she is making.  It may be difficult at times for all of us but we know that this is the path that God set before us and His plan is always the best!
