"Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD." - Psalm 150:6
On the one hand, I am so grateful. We have our daughter back. On the other hand, I wonder if we ever did. She's been to so many dark places in her short life. And 18 years is a long time to not know your daughter! Oh how I wish I could have rescued her, scooped her up, and held her in my arms. Wiped away the tears of doubt and made her feel loved. But it wasn't so. When I tried, she pushed me away. To her, I was the enemy. And for that, I cry. Why? Now, I know it's useless and of no value to grieve what was lost when it was found. I should only have joy. But my daughter suffered so greatly. How I wish it were me instead. All the years that were wasted. Not one day was God not there. But as her mother, I wish I could have been there too. Thank you Father for giving her new life that is only found in You. If going to the darkest place meant her gaining You, then let me be happy too. Praise The Lord. Praise The Lord. Hallelujah. Praise The Lord. My soul doth magnify You. There is no One like You where men can be saved. Thank You for saving our daughter. Now save me from the void of not having her close all of those years. I pray for better days filled with laughter and I love you's that were missed. For the day she was born she was never mine but Yours and oh such a gift to see her now. She is Yours! She is Yours! Thank God! She is Yours! Amen.
Rachel told her daddy, today is the day! I want you to baptize me right now!

A Mother's Prayer:
I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are
Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe
💜💜💜
