It comes with the territory

Today my lovely little foster daughter showed the side of her that is really hurting. She was insolent and obstinate ~ but through acknowledging her feelings and being patient, she came through. This is going to be as tough as I thought... at times tougher I'm sure. I'm thankful for my loving parents, son, and fellowship community who all helped us get through this day. This sweet girl needs a lot of love and support right now.
