Evelyn Susanna Us

Well, Evelyn left yesterday. The judge decided, but Evelyn said that she had only been rebelious in running away from home and thought it was right to go back. I pray that her family will now not take her for granted. Not send her out to beg. Not mistreat her. Love her. She will be missed terribly.




I had to help her get her stuff together, then take her to meet her parents, who were meeting us at the Texaco on the corner, outside the subdivision we live in. That was hard to actually physically watch her go. She was torn. I couldn't cry though. I told her that God had this in his plan for her and that there was purpose in her going home, and not to forget it. She would be a great example to her younger siblings, and hopefully bring her parents to the feet of Christ as well.



It's comforting knowing that we will all see her again. That comfort, that hope in Christ, is what gets one through the hard times.
