Our newest precious one was added on Friday. Very overwhelming to think
of all she has been through in her so precious, young life. Scars from
old cigarette burns, scars from her broken occipital bone on her face,
and a neck brace on 24 hours a day for three broken vertebrae are just a
few of her burdens. Her parents named her Amara, which means bitter. I
just don't have the heart to call her that. She is precious and sweet
and I don't believe for a minute that God saved her (and her twin
sister, but that is another long story) from death just for her to grow
up with the burden of bitterness. We will see if the Lord will have her
stay here, and then we will have the opportunity to change her name for
something more appropriate to give God the glory of saving her. Until
then, she is our "cutie-pie", "Angel-girl", or any other cutsie name we
can find. No bitterness here! Only God's goodness and grace :-)
