Hey, all. I have a prayer request for you all because 1. I know prayer works, and 2. I know you all will pray. I have been babysitting my friend's niece, Faith, off and on for about the past couple weeks or so. She's a very loving two year old that has the most beautiful red hair anyone's ever seen. This little girl has been through more in her 2 years of life than I ever have in my 23 years, which is REALLY saddening to me when I stop and think about it (or what I know if it at least). I'm not sure what's going to happen to her here in the near future.
Faith's mom is going to court on the 13th of this month with several different charges against her, and she hasn't been a great mom for Faith. Cassy, my friend and Faith's aunt, was granted temporary custy of Faith this past Wednesday. After the 13th, I'm not sure if that's going to stay the same or if some other arrangements are going to be made for Faith.
Faith doesn't talk, but she understands what she's told and responds to what she's told the best way she knows how to. I think she's been confined to small spaces (and has gotten in trouble for things- like not being quiet and other petty things), and not been given the love that she so desperately craves and deserves. Her daddy's not really in the picture (I think), because she is SO attached to my husband when she's here and he's at the house. She's got him wrapped around her fingers, it's great.
So I would appreciate it very much if you all would pray for Faith, her mom, and for Cassy that God's will be done in their lives and good will come out of this situation. Also, pray for my husband and me so that we can learn why Faith was put in our lives and how we can best help her. Thank you so much. I know that this will mean more to them that we may ever fully know.
