It's been a few months since I've written in this blog. Between work, two kids, adding a foster child, and life, I haven't had a chance to get in here. Needless to say, its been busy, and this gets placed on the back burner. The spring was a busy time. We started a new semester, Nick and I took a trip to Boston, we were placed with our first foster child the week after, and the rest was a bit of a blur.
We started this process of fostering last year, and in March finally checked all the boxes and became officially certified. Just a couple of short weeks later we were placed with our first foster child. The month and a half that followed was trying. With no time off to adjust to the big change, life got crazy, and we were in definite survival mode. I found myself questioning everything, but I can say that in that time, I became so aware of my inabilities, and so aware of God's total ability. He has grown me in these past few months beyond what I thought capable, through this sweet child. I thought we would be the ones changing his life, but I'm realizing that this calling was more for me, than for him. I don't know what lies ahead for us. We love him, I can say that. The kids included. They have taken him in like he's always been here and love him completely. I know our desire is for him to stay, but at this point, it's far from certain. The thought of losing him is more than I can bear right now, so I pray that he stays, but that if it's not His plan, that I would trust Him and that He would make me strong.
