Why
isn’t God answering any of my prayers then? I was thinking. It took me
all about two seconds to figure that one out. Because you messed up so
bad, I answered myself. You can’t go around swiping stuff and then
expect God to come to your rescue.

Summary: It’s Brianna’s birthday!

But she has no money. So she makes a choice, an impulsive choice, and one that she deeply regrets but doesn’t know how to undo. She steals some beads to make jewelry for Brianna. But that’s just the start of the problems! One thing leads to another and soon she’s in so deep, she sees no hope for ever getting out. To make things worse, her alcoholic birth mom is contacting her asking to see her again just when she’s gotten settled in a foster family where she is truly loved and cared about.
Notes: This is the 3rd in the six book series; Raise The Flag. In the first book six girls show up for See You At The Pole and begin to form a friendship and prayer group. In this book, Cheyenne learns about hungering for God. She had drawn away, assuming He didn’t want her because of her mistakes. She recognizes His great love for her and desire to have her draw near with her problems. I highly recommend this book as well as the others in this series.
Matthew 5:6 – Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
