One Year Ago

One year ago today Jason, H,and I were doing laundry and packing to prepare to leave the next day on vacation.  Around 5:00, we got a phone call saying we had to return H to DSS because the judge was allowing her to live out of state with a relative.  We were all three completely and totally heartbroken.  Within an hour she was packed up and on the way back to DSS.  We knew that this would be the hardest part about foster care and at one point the reason we were not going to do foster care.  After hearing another couple say that if God gave them a child through foster care just long enough for God to know someone would be praying for that child then it was worth the heartache of losing them, we decided to do foster care.  Yes that was one of if not the hardest days of my life but after a year a day has not gone by that she has not been prayed for.
