It Didn't Take Long

This story starts in the blog for Jan. 8th.

It didn't take long for God to let me know that he had been working on Handsome and telling Handsome the same thing He had been telling me about foster parenting.

On the way home from church that afternoon Handsome said, "I think God is wanting us to be foster parents". I silently prayed, "Thank You Lord for telling him and then letting me know that it came from You". I said, yes, I know. I felt God telling us in SS that is what he has for us to do. But, I do not feel the time is right now." Handsome agreed. "So, we just wait on God now I guess." "Yep, said Handsome."

Two years go by and we have a son. We decided that he would be the only child we would have. Even though my pregnancy, delivery and everything went easy and great we (at that time) wanted to be done. I did not have my tubes tied at that time though.

A couple of years later Handsome, Ethan (our son) and I were on our way to church. I said, "I think it is time." Handsome knew exactly what I was talking about and agreed. We didn't have a clue as to how to go about becoming foster parents so we decided we would ask Sharron that night after church just how to get started. Remember, it is four years after God told us that we were going to be foster parenting.

Next time: Talking To Sharron

Until next time:

Your story inspires me, my husband and I felt called to adopt hard to place children, but circumstances prevented it at the time. I feel that God will want us to do so later, when our own kids are older and when we are able to.

I think though, that I will let God be the one to place it on my husbands heart.

David and I have been discussing foster parenting a lot in the past few months. However, I have unspoken issues with the woman that we will have to go through in order for this to be. Please pray that God's will shall be shown to us in what we are to do!


I enjoy reading your blog and look forward to the "next installment!"

We are praying for you!

Blessings!
