to speak, I nodded and linked my arm with his.
We walked out the front door and I had barely made it halfway to the wagon before a desperate cry met my ears.
“Mary!” it shouted. Before I could take stock of what was happening, a bright mess of blonde hair had obscured my vision and small slender arms were encircling me in a hug much more forceful than I would have expected.
When this blonde force pulled away, I did as well. And there she was.
She was older, certainly. Her cheeks had filled out as had the rest of her body. But, there was no mistaking the intelligent spark in those bright blue eyes.
I was looking at my sister, Rose, for the first time in ten years.
“It is you,” I said. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. Before I could stop myself, I surged forward and hugged her again.
Rose and I stayed in that embrace for a long time. I closed my eyes and rocked her back and forth as I spoke.
“I prayed,” I told her. “I prayed that we would see each other again.”
“I didn’t have to pray,” she said, sobs lining her voice as well. “I knew we would be together again.”
This time, I pulled back and looked at her curiously.
“How could you have known that?” I asked.
She smiled through her tears and shrugged.
“You promised me,” she said. “And you’d never broken a promise before. Besides that, we’re sisters. No one can take that away from us.”
“You remembered that?” I asked.
“I never forgot it,” Rose said. “No matter what.”
I don’t know why, but I looked at her then, smiling and happy with tears running down her pretty face and I couldn’t help but laugh. Before I knew it, she was laughing with me.
God does indeed have a strange way of answering prayers. But, in that moment, I knew one thing for certain. He had given me my family, and led me home.

Spirit C hild by Samantha Forest
Evelyn Springs tried not to bump into anyone in the crowded hallway as she attempted to find her new dorm room. Despite her best efforts to seem confident, she still felt as if the horde of chaotic college students were already judging her.
Montclair University was only a few hours away from her home in Jasper, New York, but it might as well have been a thousand miles. This was the first time she would be living away from her family, and the pressure to be an independent adult was a little daunting. Evelyn still could not believe that they had canceled their four-year anthropology program at her old college. She had no choice but to accept the transfer solution offer to another university - otherwise the first two years of her hard work would be for nothing.
Her parents, sick of their daughter being a homebody, had been more than willing to help her move. They had barely said their goodbyes as they dropped her and her luggage in the building’s driveway before jetting off to the airport. Apparently they were off to the Caribbean for some serious relaxation time.
At least the Clover Apartments gave me a pretty good rate for the semester, she thought with a sigh. But as soon as she opened the door to her room, Evelyn understood why. Although the building and hallways were nice enough, the interior of the dorm looked like something out of the last century. The kitchenette was filthy, the tiny bathroom was a horror show, and her bedroom was stripped bare except for a measly wire frame bed.
The college junior anxiously twirled a strand of her raven hair as she tried
