Leah

Leah* came to the Home of Hope two weeks ago. She is depressed and struggling with the upcoming Christmas holiday. She says that everything bad that happened in her life, happened at the Christmas season.

Please keep her in prayer this month. Every girl that comes into the home struggles with the lack of freedom, the rules, the structure, and wants to leave. They cannot see that life can be better and want to run. Leah is in this place at this time.

This past weekend she spent a lot of time saying she wanted to leave. Tuesday is our prayer and fasting day, and we prayed specifically that she would see God in her life and make the choice to stay. In the afternoon she went to visit a foundation that takes in pregnant women and mothers. They told her that they would not take her because she is not from the city. We see this as a miracle because we know they take any needy woman, no matter where she is from.

And while she was there, Leah noted how sad everyone looked. She saw the difference from those at the Home of Hope. So she has come back and said she will stay until after her baby is born. Please pray specifically for her this week and this month. Pray that she would settle and see what God will do in her life. There is a great battle for her life at this time. Pray that she will see God showing himself to her this Christmas season.
