4 weeks to go

Submission.  A word I am learning more and more about as we continue the foster care training.  I posted about this awhile ago but took the post down because I just wasn't sure if I was ready to share that we were looking into that path.  Now I do I know this is where we are suppose to be.  I feel it deep down inside.  Is it the path I would have chosen for myself? Can't say it is, but it is the path I know we are suppose to be on.  I have it reassured to me over and over again through little things and when I get those I can't help but think something amazing is going to happen. And while at times I am scared and want to run from the whole thing there are other times I get excited thinking about all the good I can do for a child and their parents.  Because lets be real - wouldn't it be totally awesome if parents can change and be the kind of parents their kids need!  And to be a part of it and to see it will be my privilege.  At the same time I know it will hurt to have a child leave our home but that is natural when you love.  My only hope is to learn and become the kind of person God wants me to be and if this is the path that will be my refiners fire I say.... let's do it.
