Being a Foster Parent is playing havoc with my faith. Sometimes belief in a high power is all that gets me through the day. I have talked about how I feel like God is using this entire thing to teach me a lesson: to teach me how to rely on Him and let go of the control I feel I must have. 

My struggle isn't with my life, or how God treats me, but how my little girl is being treated. In the Bible it says to take on His yoke for his burden is light. 

I am here to tell you that her burden hasn't been light. It isn't enough that she is forced to carry the burden of her abuse and the pain of being forcibly removed from her family. Now she has to deal with her parent's anger and jealousy over loving us. 

Tonight she accidentally called me "Momma" in front of Bio Mom. 

Bio Mom freaked. And made my baby cry.

Her burden isn't light. When will it get light?
