Sorry that I have not posted anything in quite a while. Things have been so very busy in our household lately. I'm not complaining, its all good stuff, I just haven't had as much time for things like blogging! =)
Well, for those of you that don't know. As of yesterday, we are licensed foster parents! We are thrilled! I'm still sort of in awe! It's been quite a process, but I know that every bit of it is worth it. Its funny though...people's reactions, when we tell them. Most are very supportive of us, but there are the few that aren't, and think we're a little crazy for doing this.
I just wanted to say that we aren't crazy! We love children, and we have so much love in our hearts that we can't not share it with a child that doesn't have anyone to love him. This is something God has placed on hearts to do, and we want to obey that. Regardless of what others think, we want to live for God, not for man! Children are a blessing! Every one of them! Even these children that are in foster care. God created them ALL, and knew them before they were born. He has a plan and a purpose for each one of them, even if we don't know what that plan is, or understand things about these children. He does! He loves them as much as he loves you and me.
We're pretty open to what children we will welcome into our home: older children, younger children, boys, girls, different races, and to the number of children. This is where we really get those crazy looks! But, we're just trusting God. We know He will bring the ones to us that He has planned to have in our family right now...whether that be forever or temporary. He knows everything about them and about us, and He has a plan. His timing is perfect and so is His plan. There are never any mistakes with Him, and we will rest in knowing that each child that comes into our home is meant to be here, because He brought them here.
