For months, I’ve been praying for a way to reconnect with my family—especially my mom and daughter. I didn’t know how to reach them. We tried everything… messages on Facebook and Instagram, even a letter to my younger child’s father that came back undeliverable. The lawyer handling my custody case never responded.

Last week, we prayed for a miracle. And on Tuesday night, God showed up in a way that left us speechless.

My mom and daughter walked into Celebrate Recovery—completely unexpected. They had moved to the area and decided to come that night. My mom stood there in shock and kept saying, “How?? But how??” And all I could do was point up—God did this.

This was more than I even knew how to pray for. All glory to Him.
