I sat in counseling Monday night and said “I think things are finally stable enough that I can really start processing through the trauma of this past year…and I feel like that’s gonna be rough”. It’s trading one scary thing for another scary thing. And that’s hard. Things with Laura have finally stabilized and I’m so so thankful for the team of therapists, caseworkers, family, and friends who’ve supported us through the horrific journey that has been navigating through RAD in my adopted teenage daughter. Laura is in a therapeutic residential facility for the foreseeable future and I. AM. SO. THANKFUL. My heart literally breaks at the knowledge that she could no longer stay in our home and maintain safety. The grief that I’ve been processing through is no small thing, let alone what Laura herself is processing through. It’s all so very much. But I was able to get approval for residential treatment and found an amazing facility only a few hours away....
This blog is an outlet though which I can share about my life and the part that God plays in it. I have suffered great grief within these pages, but great love has met me here too. Hopefully this blog will always be a light that points to Jesus. I have come from riches, been reduced to rags, but it is in the darkest moments of life that God's glory has truly been displayed.
