So when I started my blog I really thought that I would be better about using it. Then life happens and I stopped blogging. So now I am starting up again. I have a few things I hope to post in the next few days or weeks. The most exciting things that I have been working on have been things in our kids room. No, you didn't miss a big announcement. We aren't able to have kids and after a lot of praying, we have decided to be Foster Parents that hope to adopt. There are so many options out there, but we feel like this is the best decision for us, for many reasons.
1. We feel like we can help one or many children. They may never remember that we were a part of their life, but we will know that we were able to be there for them.
2. Since we have both been in education for a long time, we have been around many foster kids and we really have a heart for them.
3. We feel that we can show God's love through adoption. There are so many verses in the Bible that talk about how we as Christians are adopted by our Heavenly Father. We really believe that we can show our love and God's love through adoption.
4. During our prayers, Brian and I found this verse: For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. (Deuteronomy 7:6) That lovely verse really spoke to us and helped us know that we were on the right road.
So we have finished all of our classes, got our house ready, got a room together for a child and went through and passed our Home Study. We are really looking forward to God's plans and hope that we are able to show his love through this process and that we will eventually get to adopt the child that God made for us.
