Annie tragically loses both parents, and when an aunt and uncle come forward to claim her, the choice seems obvious, but is it? They are young and will now have double the children to care for. The desire has been planted in Sandy's mind to take Annie (whose real mother, while alive, had become closer through their mutual church and its activities) into her own home. However, Annie goes to live with her relatives, and the vision is smashed for this kind friend who feels certain that God has planted the idea in her heart. For what reason then? Is it just to be disappointed at last? Is God not in it after all? Why does even a scripture verse stand out to assure her seemingly? Many aspects of God's will are clear in the scripture, and we follow as best we can. Other specific paths are not quite so easy to see. We pray, we read, and we sense what He is saying to us. Then by faith, we act. This is the true story of a little girl's journey . . . from living with her own dear family to being orphaned at a young age, to finally finding a permanent loving home from where she will grow up to serve the Lord with her life. It is also the tale of patience and answered prayer. God always answers, but His time is not always our time.
