It is her 18th birthday today, and she promised she would call. I just got off the phone with her...brothers and sisters, it's been nearly 11 months since I last spoke with her. You can imagine the tears that are flooding my keyboard. She says she will try to come home next month. :)
Thank you all for your prayers, and please don't stop. Now we have to get her home and work out the problems.
I think I will turn now to a little private time of prayer and thanksgiving...
