It's been a long time since I felt like blogging. So much has happened but words won't come. But then again, my words aren't really important. God's words are..."And it came to pass"...Luke 2.
I haven't been feeling my best. It's a sure sign that God has been working even though it doesn't always feel good. It's been raw. Stuff happening. Disappointments. Setbacks. Things I thought would happen, didn't. I started blaming myself. Dumb mistake. It's never a good thing to take on the weight of the world. I'm reminded once again how much I need Jesus. I never really forgot. But it brings tears to my eyes to realize how much Jesus loves me and chose me. I'm not ever gonna understand it all. And that's okay. I have a good enough understanding, but that doesn't stop me from wanting more.
Long story short, there's a little girl named Hannah. (Yeah,the same one God put on my husbands heart over a year ago at work). I don't even know what else to say except that to start with yesterday...they came to our house...two women from social services about the little girl named Hannah whom we have been praying for. It's all complicated, they told us once again. But last night after they left I got an email from one of them saying they are considering us! What? Yes! Finally! I guess that's what blogging is for. To share important stuff. It's just while we waited, I haven't felt very important. I bet you sometimes feel that way too. So please forgive me for my absense. I've just been hurting to hear good news...they told us it might take years to finish what has been started, but I don't care! Jim has already said, if God could do it once, (referring to Lera, our little blond angel from Ukraine that God led us to on the other side of the world, He could do it again!) praise God! We can do all things through Christ who makes us strong...Philippians 4.
Sorry for lack of details. But we have learned it's a quiet thing doing foster care. We have our certification, and we're working on our home study. Not much more I can tell you but I ask for your prayers and please remember to pray for all the children this Christmas who need to know the love of a forever family. God bless!
I heard this song at my mothers house watching the season finally of Dancing With Stars when we traveled there for Thanksgiving and it brought a tear to my eye. But I think I found it! (Christmas!) ... I also really enjoyed watching Bindi, the Crocodile Hunters daughter, but that's another story. :) #footprintsinthesand
