Well, I am going on this field trip kicking and screaming! God helped me through the temper tantrum of wanting to stay in my comfort zone and feeling like life is unfair. How can we possibly let another teenager live with us!
I feel much better now though. He let me throw it and say NO... then he gently led me to McDonalds to listen to Dastena's legal guardian. She said "that Dastena doesn't want to be Muslim and that if we are willing to take Dastena in our home, she give Christian family to Dastena. "How can you say no! That in itself is a miracle. She is living in an oppressive situation and out of love for Dastena, she is giving her her freedom. It is a breakaway for her. I will be in close contact with her Aunt. God give me your love and light to shine in her life as well. This is going to be an interesting field trip, I do believe. Dastena is excited about getting to come. I was able to get power of attorney and we will do our best, with God 's help ,to show Dastena the love of Christ. She will be able to finish high school with London. She is behind because they have moved so much. Please pray she will be able to get caught up and able to graduate on time. Please pray for her and London not to get on each other's nerves too much. ( and ours )
Thank you God for giving us this opportunity and let London see that we are a family that will walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
Here is a picture of Dastena. Please pray for her family too! Thanks!

Dee Ann, Your willingness to hike up a winding trail not knowing the surface while trusting God to guide and protect is an inspiration to all who are watching. I am praying for those who usually walk paths furthest from the ridge that they might venture closer to the ridge where Jesus walks and trust Him too. Love you Sister, Sandy
