Love Intervened

About four years ago my birth parents told me that my birth mom was pregnant again. The news did not come easily, lie after lie the truth was finally revealed. The thought of having a sister was baffling, not knowing if we would be able to adopt her at would happen was very hard for me. I didn't understand why my own birth parents would lie to me. One would think that I would be used to the lies. I would always just keep running back to them despite their deep flaws and the addictions they have. though it was very hard for me I knew that I shouldn't count on everything they say to be true! One of the hardest outlooks for an older child who is in foster care is the nagging thoughts of why didn't they want me anymore? These young kids also believe that it was their fault that they were taken away from their parents. From the Christian perspective the thoughts that penetrate the minds of these young people are lies from Stan. He wants to steal all joy, happiness, peace these kids may have. He wants to sow seeds of turmoil, destruction, and anger. Many of the lies that these young foster kids I have believed myself. I got the privilege to learn of a love that never fails. A love that calms, reassures,  loves beyond all faults, This loves name is Jesus. He totally flipped my life. Changed my thinking d reassures me that everything would be ok. The lies didn't just vanish and life wasn't going to be problem free. Trials come to test you and make you stronger and I believe the news of Skylar being born was a trial to learn to trust God no matter what the circumstance is. He knows the plans he has for me and promises to work all things out for my good. I am blessed with a wonderful little sister named Skylar Grace and she truly is an example of Gods grace to our family, especially me.
