An Answered Prayer

Most Monday mornings Karen and I meet to plan the week and pray. Planning the week and knowing who does what and what kids have appointments and such is important. But the prayers we pray for the children and ourselves and the needs of this home are even more important. For over a year, maybe two, we have prayed for a counselor. These kids are abused and broken and sometimes need more than the love, structure and discipline we can give them.

I knew each time we prayed for a counselor God was hearing our prayers and that one would come. God's timing is always perfect. Then as God often does, a counselor dropped out of nowhere into our laps. Karen interviewed this young woman and had a very good feeling. There have been other interviews for other counselors before and things just weren't right. Some demand more than we can pay, or only want to work certain hours or a whole list of other things. All things worked this time and our prayers were answered.

Dalys started this morning. Of course, the children will need time to learn to trust her, but we are expecting her to be a valuable part of our staff.

Thank you, God
