The hardest decision we have ever made

We have had a rollercoater of emotions over the last week or so. Between Nathan and the fight for custody and some major issues with our 4 yr old foster child, the emotional exhaustion has set in. We have discovered through much prayer, tears and disappointment that sometimes doing what is best for a particular child means letting go. We have learned our limitations and humbly fall on our face before God. We now understand why people do not get into foster care, because to let go feels like a part of you is leaving too. Please pray for Asjiah as she is about to embark on another major change in her life and we pray that God protects her sensitive heart during the transistion. Pray too for our family as the dynamics readjust and please pray for Shane and I as the overwhelming saddness is a heavy burden on our shoulders.
