Hey! I am so sorry that I am such a bad blogger I try but I just get distracted and forget the importance of getting to know all of you guys. Umm I come from a very torn family I am adopted and have been for three years. I moved to Pennsylvania to get adopted but I am from beautiful Santa Barbara California. I am back in Santa Barbara now and its really hard. My dad died of a heroine overdose and my mom gave up her rights when i was 10. I have 9 brothers but I only know 3 of them. I have had the chance to see one of them on this trip and it was an awful experience. My whole family is drug addicted mainly to heroine and meth. So my brother was covered in scabs from head to toe from where he had picked at himself. I love my brother but I am emotionaly overwhelmed right now. Umm to top it off when I used to live in California I was in foster care and lived with four familes. One of which was two women. they are amazing and I love them, but I have been here for almost two weeks and I am starting to feel the effects of not having any christian friends or family around me. If anyone would pray for me that the two women I am staying with would become christians that would be amazing! I have been praying for 5 years and I believe with time it will happen. Secondly umm if anyone could pray that my brother would be clean the next time we hang out that would be great! I hope this is not to much information. I just need prayer and I figured this was the right place to look!

hey girl!
right now we are a team … in 8 weeks will be a family…no worries about over sharing!
and i’ll def remember your prayer request!
I really would like to add on…for anyone praying…i’m having a really tough time right now dealing with some things..its like all these random problems with friends or relationships are coming up and its really hard to keep from letting it weigh you down or discourage you.
I would really hate to let those things get to me..
and i think as the trip gets closer things can start coming into our paths to discourage us.. we really need to pray for each other to have Strength and Faith.
aww Brooke I will be praying for you! Just to add on today was insane umm I havent seen my biological mother in 5 years and I was walking in the park and i ran into her… Needless to say there are a lot of emotions that go with that
