For the last 6 months my husband and I have been trying to go threw the hoops to become A foster family/parents. This was something that God laid on our hearts about two years ago. We put it off due to the fact that I was back in school and was not ready for that chapter in my life to be open. I thought I knew what was going to be best for me and ignored God. As we all know you can never ignore God. He has a way of getting threw to you. He got threw to me(we) when I probable was the busiest I have been in the last year.
I was back in school part time, had started a cleaning business in the fall, and was doing a lot of volunteering at the boys school, also help coaching the boys soccer teams. Brian also knew it was time, due to the fact God spoke to him at the same time. That is how God rolls. As we all know when you start something like this it takes a long time. Lots of paper work and checking into your back ground and your family history.
While we were waiting we just kept on with our busy schedule. the boys were both in soccer in the spring and I was finishing my semester of school. We knew that Gods timing is better than our own. He knew that things would slow down for me in the summer. We were clueless on how long the process would take. We were prepared for anytime.
It took right at 6 months to complete and As of 6/10/2010 we were approved to become foster parents/family. It is a possibility that as of next week we (might) get a little 2 year old girl placement.
As we go threw this journey and new chapter in our lives I am going to blog about it as much as I can. I know there is going to be a lot of joy and sadness that we might endure while on this journey but that will be the beauty of it.
God is great and as i tell the boys there is nothing we can't handle for the fact we have God on our side!
Until next time.
Have a great weekend all!
