Yesterday, I received some news and it sent me into tears. I couldn't help but cry and this morning I still am. I made phone calls, talked to my husband and then went to my neighbor's house. I couldn't hold it in because I was full of it. I am full of tears of joy. I am full tears of release. I am full of God's awe and wonder. I am full of it.
Do you know what it's like when God answers a prayer that you've had for years? There are no words but thank you. I have more tears than I do words. I won't get into all the details because it's not mines to tell but I will say this; my niece is with her father. She is in the safety of his arms. I'm proud of my brother...Godly proud. He held on and stuck it out even when he was in the thick of it. Now, because of God and him walking on water, he has FULL custody of his daughter. It was a long and very, very, very hard road. If you love your children, nieces, nephews, etc; you don't want to see them endure harm at an alarming level. My brother endured pain as well. It was hard for him to take but God knew he could handle it.
My niece is a gift from up above and is forever in the grips of HIS grace. God saw fit to snatch her out of harms way and placed her where she is safe and free to be who He created her to be. She is so full of life and talent and to see someone else (who is supposed to be the one to help her bloom) try to keep her down is painful.
If you know of someone in child abuse and or neglect, I know it's hard but take the time to collect the data and proof you will need to make a strong case. Then wait for the right time to take it to court and it will work out for you. Don't give up on that child. You are their only hope. You are their only fresh air (besides God). You are the only one they see. Don't give up. Get strong to strengthen them. God will make sure they are alright and that's DEFINITE!!!
