Update

So, it's been awhile...again.  Before I launch into, hopefully, more regular posts, I thought I'd include a brief update with regards to our foster kids via an excerpt from my last Valentine's Day letter:

For those of you who weren’t aware, a thick and heavy door closed on our family on December 13^th.  On that dark day, we said good-bye to our two foster babies that we’d had in our home and loved for a little over a year.  We had no way of knowing if that door would remain closed forever, or if we would get a phone call one day asking if we could take them back.  This hallway of the unknown seemed long and possibly unending.  It was an incredible exercise in trust as we prayed for their safety and gave our desires over to God’s eternal plan, whatever that might be.  We were met head on with the challenge of praising God in the hallway.  Six weeks later, a door swung wide open, and in a matter of hours our sweet two-year-old boy and 15-month-old girl were back in our home. 

What a journey this has been, and what a Guide we have to lead us!  As my days are filled with all that occupies a mother of 3 little ones in addition to foster mom responsibilities, the time I have left to write is small.  However, I have a few short minutes each morning, in the quiet of my dark and sleeping house, with which to read my Bible and write in my journal.  I think, on occasion, I will share those writings with you, if you care to read them.  Maybe something He says to me will be helpful to you, too.
