In my quiet time with Him, I frequently tell God what I feel I can't do. I don't know why I feel the need to keep telling Him. He knows my shortcomings quite well - and loves me and calls me despite them. He is growing me so much - I can't even begin to express.
Having these extra little ones here (especially on my souped-up work schedule right now) has been a tough adjustment on the family. Down time (and I barely had any before) is down to nothing. Private time anywhere in the house is non-existent. Our kids are adjusting as well - sometimes embracing and sometimes feeling frustrated with their new adjusted roles in the family unit. YET - there is something so right with the whole thing. Being in line with our calling from Him is just so "right". No other way I can put it. Jesus never told us this was going to be easy - just that He would be there - giving us strength and encouragement all the way.
I pray for our hearts often - that He would allow us to find the balance between falling in love with our fosters and guarding our hearts for when they are reunited with their family. Such a difficult line to walk.
Thank you, Lord for helping us reach Your children!
