Ramblings of a HomeSchool Dad

Wow!
I can't believe how That summer is almost over.  My work is slowing down finally and I am starting to find a little more free time. There has been some much going on in the life of this home school dad this year.  first moving than cancer surgery.  Its funny how God works, His word says that He will never give us more that we can handle and just when I thought that I was just about to to  to hit the breaking point a peace fell upon me. Than He laid three children upon my heart .   My first thought about this was God are You sure?  Than it was am I worthy?  Am I that that good of a father?   Than I thought to myself who am I to ask those questions? I mean he is God.  Still I had a peace about it all.  That has to be from God.  Now even though God wasn't asking me to take these children in I mean He had already started the process be for I could say yes,  But my answer was yes even before I had ever seen them.  And than we my wife and I got a disc in the mail and I was love at first sight. as the six of us stood around the computer monitor to watch the slide show
we all at he same time said  AWE?  Well God has kept the train at full speed my wife went to go see them a couple of weeks ago and CPS is  scheduling an other visit for our family. Not ever thing is settled though there is still a court date to sever their biological mother\fathers rights, CPS has made several attempts to to give the children to their mother but she has not responded since January. The caseworkers where we live and the case workers where the children live are trying to set a motion for the same court day to place the children with us. So we are thinking that the children will be here at the endish f OCT. or the beginning of November.  We are excited to see what God has in store for us. Here is  a picture of the three children, please be praying for them and us as we move forward.

What an awesome opportunity to be a light in the lives of these children. May God bless you as you open your hearts to them. There is a song that I've only heard once - ever - at a Gaither concert - that says "You don't know what's in the basket." It's referring to Moses in the basket (as a baby) and how we don't know what God has planned for our children. You don't know how this will turn out 20 years from now. By giving these kids a Christian home and hope, God may use them in a mighty way.

God bless you!
