I still remember when I met precious Felicia, who is now my “niece.”

God opened doors and arms to receive this precious one, bringing Stacia into her life to love and shower her with God’s blessing and tapping into his mercy and unending grace.

Tonight, just about one year after I first met her, we were celebrating birthdays and I saw Felicia looking up to Stacia…beginning to trust and open her heart in ways she might not have imagined possible. I see her beginning to dream, to tap into her passions and be given the freedom to discover the gifts and abilities God has given her.  I saw her tonight, look into her now “Mom’s” face, , and couldn’t help but wonder what was  happening in her heart. I believe, she is discovering a growing hope and love that has taken root and will only continue to grow.  

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine…” Ephesians 3:20
