In The Beginning,,,
There is so much to think about; to write about. Do I have friends who have better spelling and grammar and the ability to crush me with it? Of course I do. My friends are all of the snarky persuasion or they wouldn't be able to stand me. Of that I am sincerely thankful.
I am blogging because I have read several friends' blogs about their families and foster experiences and I am itching to jump into the conversation. This has been the most exciting and frightening experience of our lives and it's been all of three months.
We had baby girl for two months and then she went to stay with a wonderful aunty and uncle that have added her and her brother to their family of four to truly make a happy nest for them all. I am so happy to know sweet baby girl is safe, happy and loved. She went through so much physically that worries of the future still hang over her like a cloud, but I believe her new family is up to the challenge.
We did respite (foster family babysitting) for a weekend for two twin five month olds. That was incredible! And so wearying! I promptly fell into a heap when they went back to mommy.
My sweet Hubby and I haven't had any of our own, but we are proud "Godparents" to our church youth group. I like that phrase because I feels just exactly like what we are. We guide them and love them like parents should to the greater understanding of God's love. What a responsibility and joy it is! I love each and every one like my own. They call me bunny. What a silly thing to call me! They say it's because my Hubby says I sometimes live in my own world with bunnies and flowers and ...well. So I'm Bunny.
I am stressed and worried and not so proud of myself for not seemingly trusting in God to lead us. I always want to take the lead and make the decisions before turning to Him. Pray for me and my Sweetheart that God will help us in our job search and our return to fostering. We didn't feel right fostering without a job in the mix. We will respite for a while, then return when his job settles in.
God is in Control. I have this sweet book of the Promises of God that I love to turn to when I worry or become frustrated. Thank you, Jesus for loving us so much and calming my spirit with your sweet promises.
