Unexpected

When we were in foster care training I do not remember thinking about what it would be like to watch a child make strides in our home. I was more focused on learning the process, rules, and responsibilities of being a foster parent. The first couple of months of foster parenting were tough. We were still focused on learning our new role. We were advocating for needed services, and we were trying to stabilize in our new role as a foster family

Lately, things have really settled down around our house. Our early advocating is helping. I feel like we have a front row seat to see God's healing power. It's a blessing I never expected. I am ashamed to say I think I thought more about how we could be a blessing to kids who came into our care. I was wrong, we are so very blessed to be a part of this.
