RE: Mountains and Valleys: Our Journey Through Foster Care (Part 1: Being Called)

in #parenting7 years ago

Thank you for sharing your journey and sharing your heart with these amazing kids. It is so inspiring to hear how you have leaned into the Lord to be your strength and companion in this journey. I understand the strange paradox of joy and pain, confidence and uncertainty. My children spent 3 years deciding whether or not they were going to spend their highschool years living with me or in a different state living with their dad. It was such a challenge everyday to force myself to live in the present good and not get sucked into the gray looming cloud of "what if?" Somedays I succeeded and somedays I failed miserably. I'll be praying for that peace that passes understanding to guard your heart and guard your mind.

Thank you so much for the prayers and support! I can't imagine how hard that would have been for you. Being present in the midst of all of that for your kids and for you is such a challenge! I hope that your situation resolved with peace for you as well! Peace has definitely come to my heart this week. I'm hoping to write the second part in the next few days. The week turned out very differently than what was expected. Than you again!

I'm so glad you are feeling more peaceful! I look forward to reading more about your journey

Thank you! I am always reading your work and wishing I had the gift of writing like you do! Peace is definitely settling in. For the Little Man and for me. Thanks so much!
