It looks like things may finally be moving along. I have a scheduled meeting with the new director of social services on Wednesday afternoon at 2pm. Please pray for favor with him and that he will want to help us get through the remainder of the recommendations quickly. I am so ready for us to be at a place where we can just seek out girls to move into the home. I'm ready to see it full again!
On that note, I have a few girls you can be praying for as I get to know them and consider them for the home.
M just had her baby 8 days ago! I was able to go and see her the day the baby was born in the hospital and be a part of walking her through those days afterwards. We helped her with some expenses because she comes from a very poor family and she and the baby both had some issues after the birth. She lost lots of blood and had some fainting episodes, but seems to be doing much better. Her son, A, was born with a fever and has some kind of unknown infection... well, unknown to us :) He came home after 5 days in the hospital and seems to be doing well now. It was a very frustrating few days as the public health care system and hospital are just not an easy or fun experience. Please pray for M as she knows that PDE is an option and one that she has really thought through, pray for a wise decision to be made. She is very close with her mom and sisters, but due to poverty has very few options for her future.
R is another girl who I have been spending time with. Her little girl was born one day after the twins! She is in a very off and on relationship with her father of her daughter and seems to stay with him only because she sees no other option for how she would get by. I am praying for discernment as I talk to her and try to help her seek the Lord's guidance for her future. It is not a healthy relationship at all and she has no family support. Pray for wisom.
I'm so excited that we can start to consider girls for the home again, we just pray that God would bring who HE wants to be there!
