We Carry Gold : A Christian Memoir Of One Woman's Wrestle With God

Carlene thought she had cared for the last of her babies; but the Lord saw fit to send her another. The foster baby she was about to receive was an eight-month-old black girl with serious health problems, who had been in the hospital most of her life. The task would end up being a tougher challenge than she could have imagined at the time. In Mississippi in the 1990s, there weren't many homes for this tiny child to go to even if she had been healthy-let alone one with such severe health issues. So, after Carlene devotedly accepted the arduous placement, she hung up the phone and sobbed.It was Thanksgiving week. Now in her early fifties and feeling it, Carlene struggled in prayer with the new responsibility. Somewhere inside herself, she knew God would help her divided heart. At that moment, He whispered, "You can't focus on yourself when I call you. You must trust Me to protect you."The Lord delivered many babies into Carlene's care over the years. This book is a beautiful memoir of her struggles, loves, sorrows, joys, and miracles that surrounded her calling; and demonstrates how deep God's love is for all his children.
