New Addition to my family

[ForeverBlessed]

I think most here realize that I am raising three girls pretty much on my own... they mean everything to me... they are the three amigos :party My oldest just turned 18... and I have a 15 and 16 year old.

There has been certain circumstances that brings another precious girl into our life.. some have asked how in the world will I feed another kid... well, I guess with the help of the Lord, all things are possible.

In December, the cousin of my ex husband died an untimely death.... she was only 42 and left two children ages two and ten... both girls. (my girls paternal grandmother and these childrens maternal grandfather are siblings)

My family has been around the family for years because my dad was pastor of the mother at times and also the extended family.

Two weeks ago, the older sibling (age 25) of the two little girls sent the girls to Indiana because she didn't want to care for them anymore. She took custody at the time of their mom's death but family has been fearful of how they were living. I am not sure of the extent of the conditions that the girls have been living... but it wasn't good. I do believe God was protecting them though... he had plans for them.

This past Sunday, my sister took the girls and on Tues, after praying about it... Breauna Hope came to stay with us. I enrolled her in school on Thursday and she is settling in our house just fine. The two year old is living with my sister, and for those who know us realize the girls will be together all the time... my sister is single and we spend weekends together.

I will share more pictures as we take them (we will after church tomorrow) but I do have this little picture taken by Bekah my youngest. :)

So... now I have 4 girls living here... and I just thought my house looked like a girls dormitory... :gaga I probably haven't seen anything yet.

WOW you are awesome!

[ForeverBlessed]

You're a good woman, sis.

I'll be praying for you!

:)

Thank you... I always need prayers.. :) Please do though keep Breauna in your prayers, she has lost her mom, the only stability she had and both girls have just been shuffled around.

We are praying that God heals her little heart and she becomes a woman of strong faith someday...

[Margies3]

That's awesome, FB. I know you will enjoy having the addition to your family as much as she will enjoy being with you.

Can I ask - where is the father of these girls? Is he not in the picture? I know it's none of my business. I'm just curious why he doesn't have them.

[Ron]

Good for you! Unusual circumstances brought this about but I know God will turn it into a blessing for all!

Will do.

I'll be praying your family is an integral part of that healing process as well.

[ForeverBlessed]

WOW you are awesome!

well, I don't think awesome... I just prayed and couldn't get away from the fact that it is what God wanted me to do... those who know me realize I am a passionate mom.. I love my girls and I'm sure there is room for one more.

The scriptures that kept coming to me as I was praying, was the scripture Matthew 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

To me, it was the right thing to do.

Sis. Lisa,

What an adorable picture of your Bekah (She looks like you), and Breauna
Hope, Both look so precious. I have a feeling that what you have done will
not only be a blessing to the little one, but will add much joy and happiness
to your girls.

My youngest sister, who was born when I was eighteen was such a joy to
me, and when she was two and a half yrs. old, I had my firstborn, a daugh-
ter. The two grew up together in our family and also in church. Dad was the
pastor. Today they are still very close. Just like sisters!

When our youngest son was ten, our oldest daughter and husband had a
son, and Brent enjoyed his little nephew so much.

I have a feeling those little girls that God sent your way, will be a great
blessing to you, your sister and your daughters.

May God richly bless you all, in Jesus Name!

both fathers were contacted after the death and neither wanted them. Neither of the fathers have been active in their lives.

The two year old is the cutest little girl... Chloe Renee with Bekah who was giving her the first bath.. you should have seen us trying to do her hair.. lol we had fun. :)

thank you sister Falla.. I feel the girls were sent this way too... :)

btw, I recently have had people tell me she does look like me... I have always thought she was the spittin' image of her father. lol I guess when you look at the face, you can tell she is mine.. but she is the tallest of the girls and I'm sure she isn't done growing... skinny, tall build like her dad and has his brown eyes and hair.. darker skin..

I was blond at her age... but you know what age can do. :) and I am short and not skinny. :D

this is exactly what i hope to do... there has been a lot of trouble in their family... things haven't been good and I am praying that things will change with these girls. I know it will....

[ForeverBlessed]

thanks for all the prayers... I appreciate it.

blessings to you all.

[Mrs. LPW]

You really are a good woman, and God WILL bless you forever, for your generosity.

[Cindy]

Congratulations on the new addition. And you and all those precious girls will be in my prayers. How blessed y'all are.

[Hoovie]

Way to go Lisa! You are a good woman.:highfive

[HeavenlyOne]

Lisa, so does this mean you have permanent custody, or is this what you are hoping to accomplish? Are you also contemplating adoption if that's an option?

Congrats though. She looks like you and the kids!

[ForeverBlessed]

She is most definitely relation to the girls... blood is strong. :)

I will be meeting w/attorney for permanent custody on Wednesday. I don't feel the need to adopt... she calls me Aunt Lisa. I have been advised not to adopt unless it is something we really want to do, as there should be SS benefits from her mother.

Someone from social services with the schools here locally has been great in helping us out. I was a little apprehensive on how to go about everything but they have been wonderful and supportive.

[Pressing-On]

God Bless you, Foreverblessed!!!!!

[Blubayou]

Praying for you- What a wonderful blessing to these girls. God is truly with them and with you. Your house will continue to be "hormone central"!!!!!!:friend

[rgcraig]

Lisa,

I love the scripture that God placed in your heart to confirm it was what you were to do.

May God richly bless you and your family for reaching out to take care of Breauna!

[OneAccord]

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

You are Foreverblessed, because you are forever blessing! God bless you.

[Sister Alvear]

praying for you dear friend....and may Him from whom all blessings flow send many of them your way.

[Broken]

You will be forever blessed! Awesome ! Touching! Rewarding!

BTW she is adorable. We have a family in our church undergoing something similiar. I wish I had some pics cuz she is adorable too

[Falla39]

Sis. Lisa,

The eight yr. old, with Bekah, by the expression on her face, looks like

she feels like she has come home! And Bekah looks right at home with

the little girl beside her. Now perhaps Bekah, your baby, will know what

it feels like to have a little sister. The eight yr. old, who was the older

of her and her little sister, will also feel like she has an older sister. This

could be good for both!!
