A Reunification Story

By: Whitley, a Desired Haven Family Care resident and mom

I’ve waited for so long for this!

By the grace of God, today I was granted back full custody of my kids! We were reunited in the same court room where my kids were removed from my care several years ago. My story is filled with a lot of bad decisions and mistakes, but none of those define me and who I am today. The best decision I ever made was to turn my life over to Christ. When I allowed him to have control of my life, everything changed. Old things have passed away, and all things are made new! Today I’m able to be who He has called me to be. And being a mom to these two is the best part of it all! I am just so thankful for God’s faithfulness and restoration!

”Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10 ESV
